[00:16] ---
    Lucy-san! Are you awake?!
[00:19] ---
    Which match is it right now?
[00:21] ---
    The first match just finished.
[00:24] ---
    It looks like Blue Pegasus won.
[00:26] ---
    The second match is just about to begin.
[00:29] ---
    It's between Lamia Scale and Mermaid Heel.
[00:32] ---
    I see... Then Natsu and the
    others' match hasn't started yet.
[00:35] ---
    Natsu-san said he'd come and
    see you before his match.
[00:40] ---
    Rest up a little more until then.
[00:43] ---
    It's important for you to
    get your strength back.
[00:47] ---
    Thank you. I will.
[02:23] ---
    Alright! The second match is next.
[02:26] ---
    From Lamia Scale,
[02:28] ---
    Lyon and Yuka!
[02:32] ---
    And from Mermaid Heel,
[02:35] ---
    Kagura and Millianna are competing!
[02:38] ---
    Feelin' spiffy!
[02:40] ---
    Let's feel the love for Mermaid Heel!
[02:43] ---
    Yajima-san, what are your
    thoughts on this match?
[02:46] ---
    I wouldn't be surprised if either side won.
[02:49] ---
    I'm certainly looking forward to this match.
[02:51] ---
    Both Lyon and Yuka are strong opponents!
[02:53] ---
    Millianna! Don't let your guard down!
[02:56] ---
    Are you rooting for Mermaid Heel?
[02:59] ---
    Yeah. We've known each other a long time.
[03:02] ---
    It's only natural that
    I'd want to support her.
[03:06] ---
    Gray, you've known Lyon
    for a long time, right?
[03:10] ---
    Aren't you interested in this?
[03:12] ---
    Not really.
[03:13] ---
    We're in different guilds now and are rivals.
[03:20] ---
    What's wrong, Natsu?
[03:23] ---
    I was thinking that Lucy and Elfman would
    probably like to see the matches, too.
[03:29] ---
    In that case, let's watch
    it carefully for them.
[03:33] ---
    So we can tell them about it later.
[03:36] ---
    Guess you're right...
[03:38] ---
    Alright! I'll do it.
[03:43] ---
    Battle of the Dragon Slayers!
[03:48] ---
    I hope Mermaid Heel wins.
[03:51] ---
    I've known Millianna since that
    Tower of Heaven business, see.
[03:55] ---
    I guess I'm rooting for Lamia Scale.
[03:57] ---
    They've been a big help.
[04:00] ---
    Certainly, we have a history
    with Lamia Scale...
[04:03] ---
    ...but all of the Mermaid Heel
    wizards are beauties, right?
[04:10] ---
    Juvia, I guess you're cheering for Lyon, huh?
[04:13] ---
    You've been approached by
    Lyon more than once, right?
[04:15] ---
    Having a woman's heart, you
    must be interested, right?
[04:19] ---
    Juvia... Juvia...
[04:22] ---
    ...wanted to stay on the team and
    battle alongside Gray-sama...
[04:29] ---
    That's it! There's still a chance!
[04:32] ---
    If someone on the team gets injured during
    the match, and they become short a person...
[04:38] ---
    I knew that you were the only partner for me!
[04:42] ---
    Kiss!
[04:44] ---
    Juvia...
[04:47] ---
    I'm overjoyed, Gray-sama!
[04:50] ---
    No!
[04:51] ---
    As a member of the guild, Juvia is a bad
    girl for wishing injuries on her comrades!
[04:57] ---
    But Juvia wants to be by Gray-sama's side!
[04:59] ---
    And yet...! Juvia doesn't want
    her guildmates to get hurt!
[05:03] ---
    What should Juvia do?!
[05:05] ---
    W-What's wrong, Juvia?
[05:07] ---
    Is there something on your mind?
[05:09] ---
    We'll give you good counsel, so
    go ahead and share with us girls.
[05:15] ---
    After this match is over,
[05:16] ---
    the next one is between Fairy
    Tail and Sabertooth at last.
[05:21] ---
    All we need to do is have faith in them.
[05:23] ---
    Let's take a load off and wait...
[05:28] ---
    First Master!
[05:30] ---
    Everyone, make sure you
    look before you sit down.
[05:38] ---
    Maybe...
[05:39] ---
    ...Jellal is watching this
    match from the stands...
[05:44] ---
    Millianna...
[05:46] ---
    Focus.
[05:48] ---
    I know!
[05:50] ---
    At first, try fighting
    this match on your own.
[05:54] ---
    I'm going to hold back for a while.
[05:56] ---
    I don't believe this! Why?!
[05:58] ---
    So you can gain experience...
[06:00] ---
    Match or not, this is a real fight.
[06:03] ---
    How far can you battle
    with just your own power?
[06:06] ---
    You should try it.
[06:08] ---
    Alright. I will!
[06:11] ---
    Our opponents are two women.
[06:13] ---
    But if we don't go all out against those
    two, it's doubtful that we'll achieve victory.
[06:16] ---
    That's because Kagura is one of them.
[06:19] ---
    But if I strut my stuff for her...
[06:24] ---
    ...I'm sure she'll think more highly of me!
[06:26] ---
    Hey, that might be a little cocky...
[06:29] ---
    Hey! If you don't do this right,
    I'll make the both of you spin!
[06:33] ---
    The time limit is 30 minutes!
[06:36] ---
    Alright, let the match begin-kabo!
[06:40] ---
    Victory goes to the swiftest!
[06:44] ---
    Cat Binding Tube!
[06:50] ---
    Is Millianna fighting alone?!
[06:52] ---
    Will she be okay against
    opponents from Lamia Scale?
[06:56] ---
    Kagura must have figured
    she'd be able to handle it.
[06:58] ---
    Let's leave it to her judgment.
[07:02] ---
    Kagura-chan doesn't need to take part!
[07:06] ---
    They're really making light of us...
[07:09] ---
    They must be confident...
[07:11] ---
    You... Mermaid Heel...
[07:15] ---
    Lyon! Yuka! Do whatever
    you have to do to win!
[07:19] ---
    Show them how strong we are!
[07:23] ---
    Kagura is just watching?
[07:25] ---
    In that case, let's drag her to the party!
[07:27] ---
    Ice Make: Eagle!
[07:33] ---
    Don't ignore me!
[07:36] ---
    Wave!
[07:41] ---
    She's fast!
[07:42] ---
    Kitten Blast!
[07:47] ---
    A fake-out, huh?
[07:49] ---
    Gotcha!
[07:50] ---
    Cat punch! Cat punch! Punch!
[07:52] ---
    There it is!
[07:54] ---
    The first attack that's
    landed is by Mermaid Heel!
[07:57] ---
    Great! You're cookin' with gas!
[07:59] ---
    She's totally relaxed as she fights.
[08:01] ---
    Maybe it's because she feels
    secure with Kagura behind her.
[08:07] ---
    You ain't seen nothin' yet!
[08:10] ---
    I train with Kagura-chan every day!
[08:15] ---
    Secret weapon!
[08:18] ---
    Scratch attack!
[08:20] ---
    What's wrong? You're not
    putting up any resistance!
[08:24] ---
    This is a surprise!
[08:26] ---
    Those two are the go-to wizards of Lamia
    Scale, but Millianna isn't giving an inch!
[08:31] ---
    It seems that both of her
    opponents are flummoxed
[08:33] ---
    by her quick, cat-like moves.
[08:36] ---
    Ow... That girl is better than I thought...
[08:39] ---
    If she weren't, it wouldn't be interesting!
[08:43] ---
    Cat Binding Tube!
[08:45] ---
    But...
[08:47] ---
    ...my wave can nullify magic attacks!
[08:51] ---
    Huh. In that case, how's this?!
[08:54] ---
    Cat Binding Tube!
[08:56] ---
    Double! Triple! Uh...
[09:00] ---
    A lot!
[09:02] ---
    So you can produce several at once, huh?
[09:04] ---
    My techniques are evolving, too!
[09:13] ---
    Ice Make: Eagle!
[09:15] ---
    She's doing it again!
[09:17] ---
    You're just wasting your energy!
[09:25] ---
    Well? How about giving up?
[09:28] ---
    This is no good...
[09:29] ---
    At this rate, I won't be able
    to look cool in front of Juvia!
[09:34] ---
    Hey, you're still worried about that?
[09:36] ---
    But...
[09:38] ---
    ...I have brains as well as techniques!
[09:41] ---
    This is the only thing to
    do against a cat opponent!
[09:43] ---
    Ice Make: Mouse!
[09:51] ---
    A mouse! Whee!
[09:54] ---
    Wait for me!
[09:58] ---
    Don't insult my intelligence!
[10:00] ---
    Next up is this!
[10:03] ---
    Blow, blizzard!
[10:06] ---
    I-It's cold...
[10:10] ---
    Cats don't like winter...
[10:13] ---
    A kotatsu!
[10:16] ---
    Cats love kotatsus...
[10:20] ---
    It's comfy and warm...
[10:26] ---
    Would you stop treating me like a cat?!
[10:29] ---
    I didn't think they'd trick Millianna
    with that kind of method!
[10:32] ---
    That's Lyon of Lamia Scale for you.
    You can't be too cautious with him.
[10:36] ---
    Um... Are you guys really that impressed?
[10:40] ---
    Did you see that, Juvia?
    My beautiful brain play!
[10:49] ---
    She's turned off...
[10:51] ---
    Lyon Vastia...
[10:53] ---
    You haven't directly attacked Millianna yet.
[10:56] ---
    Great! Great!
[10:58] ---
    This is a tough battle for both
    Mermaid Heel and Lamia Scale!
[11:03] ---
    Kabo! Kabo! Kabo!
[11:05] ---
    Hey! Lyon and Yuka, quit standing around!
[11:09] ---
    If you don't win this right
    now, I'm gonna make you spin!
[11:12] ---
    What happens if you get spun?
[11:14] ---
    I can't really describe it,
[11:16] ---
    but anyway, it's really bad for sure!
[11:20] ---
    Obaba's right.
[11:21] ---
    At this rate, we're gonna run out of the
    30-minute time limit and it'll be a draw.
[11:25] ---
    Then I have no choice.
[11:27] ---
    I intended to save Kagura for last, but...
[11:29] ---
    Ice Make: Snow Tiger!
[11:39] ---
    I love cats, but tigers are another thing!
[11:48] ---
    Kagura-chan... I'm sorry...
[11:51] ---
    I suppose I have to participate after all...
[11:56] ---
    So you've finally decided to play, Kagura!
[11:59] ---
    I'll go first!
[12:00] ---
    Wave!
[12:05] ---
    An attack that nullifies
    your opponent's magic, eh?
[12:08] ---
    However...
[12:11] ---
    ...it's meaningless if your opponent
    doesn't use magic attacks!
[12:16] ---
    Good heavens!
[12:18] ---
    Mermaid Heel's Kagura...
[12:20] ---
    ...is overpowering her opponent
    with her sheathed sword!
[12:25] ---
    Wave!
[12:29] ---
    You're slow!
[12:36] ---
    Incredible!
[12:38] ---
    She's downed Yuka by not giving
    him a moment to retaliate!
[12:42] ---
    At last, it's just Kagura and Lyon!
[12:43] ---
    One on one!
[12:56] ---
    She beat one of them without
    even drawing her sword?
[12:59] ---
    Impressive...
[13:01] ---
    Yeah. Kagura is an expert
    with a sheathed sword.
[13:06] ---
    Maybe she'd be a worthy opponent
    for my Iron Dragon Sword.
[13:13] ---
    W-Will Lyon be okay?
[13:16] ---
    Even though he had a hard
    time against Millianna,
[13:19] ---
    going one on one against Kagura...
[13:21] ---
    What? Lyon hasn't unleashed
    his true strength yet.
[13:26] ---
    Lyon! No matter what, you'd better win!
[13:29] ---
    Show her your power!
[13:33] ---
    I've heard about you.
[13:35] ---
    You once went by the name "Reitei".
[13:37] ---
    You attempted a dangerous ritual
    in order to fight Deliora.
[13:42] ---
    That was a long time ago.
[13:44] ---
    Now, I'm Lyon, a wizard with Lamia Scale.
[13:47] ---
    Nothing more or less.
[13:49] ---
    But something about you reminds
    me of the way I used to be.
[13:53] ---
    Back when I was driven by hatred
    and had lost sight of something...
[14:00] ---
    Let me ask you one thing.
[14:02] ---
    Why didn't you attack Millianna directly?
[14:05] ---
    Did you hold back because she's a woman?
[14:08] ---
    Or just because you didn't want
    to reveal your strategy to me?
[14:12] ---
    Who knows?
[14:13] ---
    Maybe you'll find out when you fight me!
[14:16] ---
    Ice Make: Dragonfly!
[14:23] ---
    Ice Make: Eagle!
[14:28] ---
    Kagura really is strong!
[14:30] ---
    Is Lyon powerless to do anything?!
[14:33] ---
    What are you doin', Lyon?!
[14:35] ---
    And you were Ur's disciple?!
[14:38] ---
    You're stronger than that!
[14:41] ---
    Get your act together now!
[14:45] ---
    He's right.
[14:47] ---
    Show me what you've really got, Lyon Vastia!
[14:51] ---
    Yeah. And we are running out of time...
[14:55] ---
    Ice Make: Snow Tiger!
[14:59] ---
    Ice Make: Snow Ape!
[15:03] ---
    Ice Make: Snow Dragon!
[15:09] ---
    I bet not even you will
    be able to escape this!
[15:21] ---
    You can create all these at the same time?
[15:24] ---
    Still...
[15:35] ---
    There it is! Her ace in
    the hole, Gravity Change!
[15:38] ---
    Yep! That's Kagura's magic!
[15:41] ---
    Still, for Kagura to use Gravity Change,
[15:44] ---
    it proves that Lyon guy is a tough opponent.
[15:47] ---
    W-What power!
[15:55] ---
    It ends here!
[15:59] ---
    Time's up! 30 minutes have passed!
[16:02] ---
    It's a tie-kabo!
[16:08] ---
    The result is a draw!
[16:10] ---
    It wasn't settled after 30 minutes!
[16:13] ---
    So close!
[16:15] ---
    Just a little more time and
    Lyon would've been toast!
[16:18] ---
    But a tie's a tie.
[16:21] ---
    Ah, well, it looks like Kagura
    isn't too bothered by it...
[16:25] ---
    He squeaked by with a draw.
[16:28] ---
    But what a close call...
[16:31] ---
    This is what happens when
    you've got girls on the mind!
[16:35] ---
    When you get back here, you're
    going to spin and spin and spin!
[16:39] ---
    I'm gonna spin you like never before!
[16:42] ---
    Kagura really is strong, you know?
[16:45] ---
    And I don't think she was
    pulling out all the stops...
[16:47] ---
    It's the same every year.
[16:49] ---
    Nobody's seen Kagura get
    totally serious before.
[16:53] ---
    Kagura-chan, I'm sorry...
[16:56] ---
    That Lyon has natural aptitude.
[16:59] ---
    If this had been a life-or-death
    battle instead of a match,
[17:04] ---
    you'd be dead right now.
[17:08] ---
    Get stronger, Millianna.
[17:11] ---
    I'm going to train you harder.
[17:13] ---
    Right!
[17:14] ---
    The crowd is still pumped
    up here at the arena!
[17:16] ---
    But don't take your eyes
    off of the next battle!
[17:20] ---
    At last!
[17:21] ---
    Yep. At last...
[17:23] ---
    At long last!
[17:24] ---
    Finally...
[17:25] ---
    ...the time has come!
[17:26] ---
    Natsu-san, Gajeel-kun, don't get hurt!
[17:30] ---
    No injuries! Nobody is allowed to get hurt!
[17:34] ---
    Why are you so obsessed with injuries?
[17:47] ---
    Yo.
[17:49] ---
    How do you feel?
[17:53] ---
    I'm okay.
[17:55] ---
    Is your match next?
[17:56] ---
    Yeah. And I'll win it for sure.
[18:03] ---
    Natsu...
[18:14] ---
    Sorry, Lucy-san! We just went to check
    out what's happening at the arena.
[18:18] ---
    Oh! Natsu?
[18:20] ---
    Wendy, Carla... Take care of her.
[18:23] ---
    Good luck, Natsu-san!
[18:26] ---
    Lucy! What were you talking about with Natsu?
[18:33] ---
    You ready?
[18:35] ---
    Yeah.
[18:36] ---
    Let's make Lucy and the rest
    happy by winnin' this thing.
[18:40] ---
    Natsu!
[18:43] ---
    Happy...
[18:47] ---
    I'm sure all of our viewers have been
    eagerly looking forward to this battle.
[18:55] ---
    A fateful showdown between the
    guild that was called the strongest
[18:58] ---
    seven years ago and the
    strongest current guild!
[19:02] ---
    Fairy Tail's Natsu and Gajeel
[19:05] ---
    versus Sabertooth's Sting and Rogue!
[19:10] ---
    And all four of them are Dragon Slayers.
[19:13] ---
    All four possess anti-dragon magic.
[19:17] ---
    Sting-kun...
[19:20] ---
    I've been waiting for this moment.
[19:27] ---
    The White Dragon, Weisslogia...
[19:29] ---
    The Shadow Dragon, Skiadrum...
[19:32] ---
    Show me...
[19:34] ---
    Have humans surpassed dragons?
[19:40] ---
    Or is that just a fleeting dream?
[19:43] ---
    It is almost time for us to act...
[19:46] ---
    The Festival of the Dragon
    King is almost upon us.
[19:54] ---
    The dream Dragon Slayer
    showdown is finally happening!
[19:58] ---
    Sock it to 'em!
[19:59] ---
    Get 'em for us, too!
[20:01] ---
    I have faith you'll win!
[20:04] ---
    It's about to start.
[20:07] ---
    I'm sure Natsu will be okay.
[20:09] ---
    I'm sure he'll win!
[20:12] ---
    The time to clash is here at last!
[20:14] ---
    Who will win, Fairy or Tiger?!
[20:16] ---
    All four dragons are on the battlefield!
[20:21] ---
    Fight to the best of your ability.
    There's nothing else to say.
[20:27] ---
    I've been waiting years for this, Natsu-san.
[20:37] ---
    I've been looking forward to it, too-kabo!
[20:41] ---
    The time limit is 30 minutes!
[20:43] ---
    Let the match begin!
[20:46] ---
    Here I go!
[20:47] ---
    Yeah!
[20:59] ---
    Roar of the White Dragon!
[21:03] ---
    A laser?!
[21:11] ---
    Slash of the Shadow Dragon!
[21:21] ---
    Rogue!
[21:30] ---
    Wingbeat of the Fire Dragon!
[21:33] ---
    W-What's this?!
[21:36] ---
    Sting and Rogue...
[21:38] ---
    The Twin Dragons of Fiore's
    strongest guild are on the ropes!
[21:43] ---
    He really is strong... But I'd
    be disappointed otherwise.
[21:46] ---
    Gajeel...
[21:48] ---
    Did you two really defeat
    dragons with power like that?
[21:52] ---
    Not defeat...
[21:54] ---
    I killed a dragon with this very hand.
[21:57] ---
    Wasn't it your parent?
[22:00] ---
    It's got nothin' to do with you.
