SIGN Grand Magic Games 4th Day Results 1st Place: Fairy Tail 2nd Place: Sabertooth 3rd Place: Mermaid Heel 3rd Place: Lamia Scale 5th Place: Blue Pegasus
[00:06] ---
The Grand Magic Games,
a festival for wizards.
[00:09] ---
Fairy Tail started off in last place,
[00:13] ---
but they dominated the Tag Team Battle
and rose to first place.
[00:17] ---
However, as for Sabertooth,
[00:20] ---
the failure of the Twin Dragons
triggered a certain incident.
[00:25] ---
Meanwhile, at the sprawling dragon graveyard
underneath the tournament venue, Domus Flau,
[00:32] ---
Natsu and friends learned the truth about
the Festival of the Dragon King and Acnologia.
[02:27] ---
I am Arcadios, Captain of the
Cherry Blossom Holy Knights,
[02:32] ---
the kingdom of Fiore's military
corps stationed in Crocus.
[02:36] ---
I am Yukino Agria, temporary
sergeant of same.
[02:40] ---
What's a military big cheese doing here?
[02:43] ---
Yukino... But you...
[02:46] ---
...were a member of Sabertooth.
[02:49] ---
You said they kicked you out, right?
[02:51] ---
Yes. That's correct.
[02:53] ---
I'll explain.
[02:56] ---
The power of a Celestial Spirit Wizard was
necessary to the secrecy of the operation.
[03:01] ---
And so, I'm relying on the
assistance of Sergeant Yukino.
[03:09] ---
A Celestial Spirit Wizard...
[03:15] ---
The Eclipse Project!
[03:23] ---
U-Um, what do you mean you needed the
power of a Celestial Spirit Wizard?
[03:28] ---
Wait a second! I'm lost here!
[03:32] ---
Skip the annoying details!
Just tell me what you want!
[03:35] ---
Natsu Dragneel-kun, yes?
[03:38] ---
Your previous event was
a marvelous magic battle.
[03:44] ---
I don't give a damn about that.
[03:46] ---
I wanna know about this
"Celestial Spirit Wizard is necessary" business.
[03:51] ---
If you got somethin' to say, spit it out!
[03:55] ---
Natsu...
[03:56] ---
Yeesh...
[03:58] ---
Natsu, I think you already know
this, but that guy's a VIP.
[04:03] ---
If you think so, then I don't know
about calling him "that guy"...
[04:10] ---
A white knight...
[04:15] ---
Follow me.
[04:17] ---
Hey, jackass! Wait!
[04:19] ---
Lucy-sama, I also have a favor to ask.
[04:24] ---
If this operation is a success,
[04:27] ---
Zeref and Acnologia will be defeated.
[04:34] ---
Acnologia...
[04:45] ---
What the hell is this?!
[04:47] ---
It's huge!
[04:48] ---
It's the Flower Light Palace,
right, Mercurius?
[04:51] ---
His Majesty's palace.
[04:54] ---
That's really something...
[04:56] ---
It's okay for us to go inside?
[04:58] ---
But first, I would like
to apologize to Lucy-dono
[05:03] ---
for her mistaken attempted
abduction several days ago.
[05:06] ---
W-What?!
[05:08] ---
That's right. Wendy was mistaken
for Lucy and kidnapped.
[05:14] ---
You were behind that?
[05:16] ---
Of course, I didn't intend
to cause you any harm,
[05:20] ---
but I imprudently took
somewhat forceful measures.
[05:23] ---
At the time, I was convinced we needed
a Celestial Spirit Wizard immediately,
[05:27] ---
and made an error in judgment.
[05:29] ---
I apologize.
[05:34] ---
The Grand Magic Games were camouflage to
absorb a great quantity of wizards' magic power.
[05:41] ---
So every year, you stole magic from wizards?
[05:45] ---
Camouflage?!
[05:47] ---
That's terrible!
[05:49] ---
That's really low.
[05:50] ---
Exactly.
[05:52] ---
Say what you wish.
[05:55] ---
I did it all for a certain plan.
[06:04] ---
What is it?
[06:05] ---
Eclipse, the portal that
will change the world.
[06:08] ---
A great deal of magic power
was required to construct it.
[06:12] ---
Portal?
[06:13] ---
What the hell is it?
[06:15] ---
When the sun and moon are in conjunction,
[06:18] ---
the 12 Keys will be used to open the door.
[06:25] ---
When it's opened, the plan is
[06:27] ---
to travel back 400 years in time and murder
Zeref before he can become immortal.
[06:33] ---
That is the Eclipse Project!
[06:46] ---
T-Travel through time?!
[06:49] ---
Lucy-sama, I've heard time flows differently
between the Celestial Spirit World and our own.
[06:54] ---
Yes, now that you mention it, but...
[06:57] ---
The idea is to use the Celestial Spirit World's
dimensional boundary line
[07:00] ---
and the power of a Celestial Spirit Wizard
to open this door.
[07:04] ---
Originally, the plan called
[07:06] ---
for the possible use of pseudo-Celestial Spirit
magic in place of the real thing.
[07:10] ---
But having a true Celestial Spirit Wizard
and the 12 Keys
[07:14] ---
would guarantee the success of the project.
[07:17] ---
I could say that aspect is indispensable.
[07:21] ---
The sun and moon will overlap
three days hence, on July 7th.
[07:26] ---
I would like your assistance, Lucy-dono.
[07:30] ---
July 7th...
[07:32] ---
The day our dragons disappeared...
[07:35] ---
Is it just a coincidence?
[07:36] ---
The eclipse, when the sun and
moon are in conjunction...
[07:41] ---
A solar eclipse...
[07:47] ---
That's enough! Don't move!
[07:51] ---
The royal army?!
[07:52] ---
What is this?!
[07:54] ---
What the hell?!
[07:55] ---
What's going on?!
[07:56] ---
You dumbasses wanna rumble?!
[07:59] ---
Surrender peacefully, Captain Arcadios.
[08:04] ---
Minister of Defense, what
is the meaning of this?!
[08:07] ---
That is my line.
[08:10] ---
Leaking details of a top secret plan and
state military secrets to outsiders is abominable.
[08:16] ---
They're not outsiders! You know this.
[08:19] ---
These people have a critical role to
play in the success of the operation.
[08:22] ---
That's not a simple matter for
you to arbitrarily decide on.
[08:26] ---
You're just opposed to the plan, aren't you?!
[08:30] ---
I want you to stop this nonsense immediately!
[08:33] ---
Of course I'm opposed to it!
[08:35] ---
Changing history! Can you even slightly
imagine the inherent dangers, boy?!
[08:42] ---
What the hell are they arguin' about?
[08:44] ---
So there's a faction that's against the plan.
[08:46] ---
Even so...
[08:48] ---
Change history...
[08:50] ---
I see. If you change the past...
[08:52] ---
...the present will change too!
[08:54] ---
That's what would happen.
[08:56] ---
Arrest Captain Arcadios
on suspicion of treason!
[09:01] ---
Arrest Yukino Agria and Lucy Heartfilia too!
[09:04] ---
Throw everyone else out!
[09:06] ---
Yes, sir!
[09:06] ---
What?!
[09:07] ---
Wait, me too?!
[09:09] ---
Jackasses! You're not gettin'
Lucy involved in this...
[09:12] ---
Don't! You mustn't use magic here!
[09:21] ---
Wha...?! This...
[09:26] ---
The hell is this?!
[09:29] ---
Natsu!
[09:30] ---
Perhaps he didn't tell you.
[09:32] ---
The Grand Magic Games is a
system to steal a small amount
[09:36] ---
of magic power from wizards
and send it to Eclipse.
[09:39] ---
If magic is activated this close to Eclipse,
[09:43] ---
all of the person's magic
power will be siphoned.
[09:50] ---
Don't cause a fuss.
[09:52] ---
Wizards who can't use magic
are no threat to our kingdom.
[09:58] ---
Hey! Let go of me!
[10:00] ---
Isn't Arcadios-sama your commander?!
[10:03] ---
Lucy!
[10:04] ---
Yukino-san!
[10:05] ---
Darton!
[10:06] ---
I will not let Eclipse be activated.
[10:20] ---
Natsu...
[10:21] ---
He has magic deficiency syndrome. I don't
think he'll be able to move for a while...
[10:26] ---
Bastard...
[10:27] ---
I want you to understand
that this isn't my own will.
[10:33] ---
It's all on behalf of the state.
[10:35] ---
But I can give you one piece of advice.
[10:40] ---
His Majesty is fond of Fairy Tail.
[10:44] ---
If you win the Grand Magic Games,
[10:47] ---
I'll grant you an audience with the king.
[10:51] ---
Knowing how kind he is,
[10:53] ---
he may consider the matter
of your friend's treatment.
[10:58] ---
May you have grand magic battles.
[11:02] ---
Lucy...
[11:12] ---
July 5th. The second-to-last
day of the Grand Magic Games.
[11:18] ---
What?!
[11:19] ---
Lucy was captured by the royal army?!
[11:22] ---
So they involved her in a plan
we know almost nothing about...
[11:27] ---
In other words, what? Unless we win the
Grand Magic Games, we won't get Lucy back?
[11:33] ---
Although I don't know
if we can trust that, either.
[11:37] ---
Right.
[11:38] ---
Who gives a crap about that?!
[11:41] ---
I'm gonna rescue Lucy right now!
[11:43] ---
Please calm down, Natsu-san.
[11:45] ---
You're a real piece of work...
[11:47] ---
Your opponent is the kingdom!
[11:49] ---
Master...
[11:52] ---
We can't act recklessly against the kingdom,
[11:56] ---
but on the other hand, they can't afford to
treat their citizens too shabbily either.
[12:00] ---
Maybe we can think of her as a hostage who'll
be kept until this Project Eclipse is cancelled.
[12:06] ---
That's a pain in the ass.
[12:08] ---
A hostage...
[12:10] ---
But that don't make sense.
[12:12] ---
Why would they let the rest of us go
when we heard the same state secrets?
[12:17] ---
It's got nothin' to do with makin' sense!
[12:20] ---
It's also possible we've been released as
witnesses to eventually help convict Arcadios.
[12:27] ---
Why?
[12:28] ---
When there's the danger of top secret
information spreading...
[12:32] ---
Maybe they decided it can't
be hidden any longer.
[12:35] ---
If they'd captured the whole lot of us,
we wouldn't be able to leak info, right?
[12:39] ---
But...
[12:40] ---
I don't know about that.
[12:42] ---
Gray, you and the others are participants
in the Grand Magic Games, right?
[12:46] ---
If you suddenly didn't appear tomorrow,
people would take notice.
[12:50] ---
I don't think even the kingdom wants
to make an enemy out of a wizard guild.
[12:56] ---
To us, it's ridiculous that
Lucy's been taken captive,
[13:00] ---
but it isn't a breach of the
royal army's sense of justice.
[13:06] ---
Enough jawin'! I'm gonna rescue her!
[13:10] ---
Stifle it!
[13:11] ---
Squished...
[13:14] ---
This ain't a festival where the
whole family gets captured.
[13:17] ---
We all feel the same way.
[13:33] ---
This time, just charging ahead
without thinking isn't gonna work.
[13:39] ---
Still, we're not cowards who're
gonna take it lying down either.
[13:45] ---
We're Fairy Tail!
[14:00] ---
I never expected this to happen.
[14:04] ---
I really am a bad luck magnet.
[14:08] ---
What are you talking about?!
[14:09] ---
If you've got enough free time to be depressed,
use it to find a way out of here instead!
[14:13] ---
Lucy-sama...
[14:15] ---
If we do escape, the first thing
we need to do is get the keys back.
[14:18] ---
I'm so sorry about this.
[14:21] ---
It's not your fault!
[14:27] ---
Both of us have gotten caught up in the
kingdom's internal strife. That's all.
[14:32] ---
It's all about whether to go ahead with
the Eclipse Project or not, right?
[14:37] ---
I don't exactly know which is
the right way to go myself.
[14:42] ---
It should be done.
[14:48] ---
I had an older sister. Her name was Solano.
[14:54] ---
No matter what I did, I fouled things up,
which infuriated my parents.
[15:00] ---
But my sister always protected me.
[15:04] ---
It's not Yukino's fault!
[15:08] ---
She was so kind and pretty.
I loved my sister.
[15:21] ---
But one day, a group blindly devoted
to Zeref murdered my parents
[15:26] ---
and took away my big sister.
[15:29] ---
All I could do was flee with my life.
[15:36] ---
With the Eclipse Project,
Zeref can be killed.
[15:40] ---
Without him in this world, my sister...
[15:48] ---
Maybe she would never have been taken away...
[15:53] ---
But there's no guarantee the world
would change the way you wanted it to.
[15:58] ---
That's the danger of changing history
the defense minister was talking about.
[16:05] ---
Changing the past...
Is that really possible?
[16:21] ---
July 6th, the final day
of the Grand Magic Games.
[16:31] ---
At last! At last, it's here!
[16:36] ---
The final day of the wizards' passionate
festival, the Grand Magic Games!
[16:40] ---
Like it or not, only one guild
will be victorious today!
[16:47] ---
I'm your emcee, Chapati,
[16:50] ---
and next to me is a former Council member,
Yajima-san, who will provide the commentary.
[16:53] ---
Good to be here.
[16:55] ---
Our special guest is none other than
[16:57] ---
the mascot of the Grand
Magic Games, Mato-kun!
[17:02] ---
Kabo!
[17:04] ---
You don't have to judge today, Mato-kun?
[17:08] ---
Not today-kabo! Everyone, do your best-kabo!
[17:14] ---
Now then, the teams are about
to take the field-kabo!
[17:24] ---
Currently in 6th place!
Can they turn it around?!
[17:27] ---
Formerly a hunting dog,
now a puppy! Quatro Puppy!
[17:33] ---
Although he's been trounced once,
[17:35] ---
you can't underestimate the power
of the drunken hawk, Bacchus.
[17:40] ---
Alright! Next up on the field is...
[17:43] ---
...Blue Pegasus, led by the current
master of parfum, Ichiya Wanderlei Kotobuki!
[17:52] ---
They're currently in 5th place...
[17:54] ---
...but in the end, will they be able
to grasp the parfum of victory-kabo?
[18:02] ---
Here they are! Lamia Scale is on the field!
[18:06] ---
Right now, they're in 3rd place,
[18:08] ---
but will Ice Wizard Lyon Vastia, who rivals
or surpasses Fairy Tail's Gray Fullbuster,
[18:13] ---
lead his team to victory?!
[18:17] ---
And we mustn't forget Cheria Blendy,
the God Slayer,
[18:20] ---
or Jura Neekis, one of the
Ten Great Wizard Saints!
[18:26] ---
A team you'd never get tired of.
[18:28] ---
And sharing 3rd place with Lamia Scale is...
[18:36] ---
...Mermaid Heel!
[18:39] ---
They're large flowers that have
bloomed during the tournament,
[18:42] ---
but they're not only glamorous...
[18:45] ---
The team leader, Kagura Mikazuchi,
is as calm as ever.
[18:49] ---
There's something scary about her-kabo.
[18:54] ---
And currently in second place!
[18:58] ---
Will they remain dethroned?!
Will the two Dragon Slayers,
[19:04] ---
the Twin Dragons,
Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney,
[19:08] ---
challenge Natsu and Gajeel again?!
[19:12] ---
And if so, what will the
results of that rematch be?!
[19:17] ---
Sabertooth takes the field!
[19:30] ---
Huh? It seems their mood has changed somehow.
[19:33] ---
Maybe they've jump-started
their fighting spirit.
[19:36] ---
That's cool-kabo!
[19:38] ---
Hey, over there...
[19:40] ---
The cats in the rooting section...
[19:42] ---
One of them's not there.
[19:43] ---
Yeah, right?
[19:49] ---
Lector...
[19:51] ---
Sting-kun!
[19:54] ---
Sting-kun! Please do your best!
[19:57] ---
With your strength,
and just being one point behind...!
[20:02] ---
Leave it to me. I'm not gonna lose anymore.
[20:08] ---
And currently in first place!
[20:11] ---
Will this be the day the so-called strongest
guild seven years ago comes back in full force?!
[20:18] ---
Fairy Tail is taking the field!
[20:27] ---
Soon, Sting...
[20:29] ---
Yeah.
[20:32] ---
From getting booed on the tournament's first day
to being more popular than I'd imagined...
[20:40] ---
Huh?!
[20:42] ---
K-Kabo?
[20:47] ---
W-What?! They've changed the members!
This is an unexpected development!
[20:53] ---
In place of Natsu Dragneel, we've got...
[20:57] ---
Juvia!
[20:59] ---
Natsu Dragneel isn't here?
[21:02] ---
That's fine, Rogue.
Think of it as lucking out.
[21:06] ---
Yeah...
[21:07] ---
Natsu was instrumental in the
Tag Team Battle, so why isn't he here?
[21:13] ---
Maybe something happened?
[21:16] ---
Why isn't he here?
[21:17] ---
I wanted to see him!
[21:20] ---
I suppose he hasn't recovered yet.
[21:30] ---
You put some thought into it,
Number Six.
[21:32] ---
In the end, it was all
I could do, Number One.
[21:36] ---
If we win the Grand Magic Games, they may
release Lucy, fair and square. But...
[21:44] ---
...we can't put all our faith in that,
so there had to be an alternate plan.
[21:52] ---
With everyone absorbed in the tournament,
this is the perfect chance.
[21:56] ---
We'll cheer the team on, as usual.
[22:01] ---
Meanwhile, behind the scenes, a separate
team is heading to rescue Lucy.
[22:06] ---
A war fought on two fronts, right?
[22:19] ---
I'm counting on you, brats!
[23:56] ---
Oh, no, Natsu!
[23:58] ---
Lucy's been captured by kingdom bigwigs!
[24:01] ---
Relax, Happy! We'll spring her for sure!
[24:05] ---
But how are we going to free her?
[24:08] ---
One of our buddies is fantastic at
comin' up with strategies, right?
[24:13] ---
Next time: Fairy Tactician!
[24:15] ---
That's well and good, Natsu, but will
you be able to remember the strategy?
[24:21] ---
I'll muddle through it somehow
with fightin' spirit!
