**[00:00] ---**
Get back! Everyone, get away from the portal!
**[00:39] ---**
The portal is broken!
**[00:41] ---**
Natsu!
**[02:52] ---**
Several days after the Grand Magic Games...
**[03:11] ---**
Do I really have to wear these clothes?
**[03:14] ---**
Yeah! And they look great on you!
**[03:16] ---**
You look lovely, Yukino.
**[03:18] ---**
Mira-nee, I need a hand over here.
**[03:20] ---**
Everything looks good on Yukino-san.
**[03:28] ---**
The Grand Ball!
**[03:34] ---**
Did you guys hear about it?
**[03:35] ---**
During that last emergency evacuation,
a dragon attacked the land near the castle.
**[03:40] ---**
Balderdash! Everyone knows they don't exist!
**[03:43] ---**
But there are witnesses!
**[03:45] ---**
It was probably the wizards' magic.
**[03:47] ---**
That reminds me, there's a party for
the wizards at the palace tonight.
**[03:53] ---**
Lucky them!
**[03:55] ---**
Wizards have never been
invited to the palace before.
**[03:58] ---**
That just goes to show what a
hit the Games were this time.
**[04:15] ---**
Wow!
**[04:17] ---**
Hey, you came!
**[04:18] ---**
You're late!
**[04:20] ---**
You should *never* wear a suit.
**[04:23] ---**
And you should've worn *somethin'*.
**[04:25] ---**
Over here. All of the other guild
members have gathered, too.
**[04:29] ---**
Huh? Natsu's not with you?
**[04:32] ---**
Come to think of it, I haven't seen him.
**[04:46] ---**
A Man needs to eat!
**[04:50] ---**
Yeah!
**[04:51] ---**
Booze! Give me booze!
**[04:54] ---**
Hey, Cana! We're in the palace!
**[04:56] ---**
The king is sure generous.
**[04:58] ---**
Aye, sir!
**[05:00] ---**
To invite all these
roughnecks to the palace...
**[05:04] ---**
I suppose it should be expected, but I've
never seen this much opulence.
**[05:08] ---**
It's a dazzling world of its own!
**[05:10] ---**
Hooray for King Ichiya!
**[05:13] ---**
Yon trio, play that tune in b-flat!
**[05:16] ---**
"That tune"?
**[05:18] ---**
I don't know, either!
**[05:20] ---**
Shall we match mugs again?
**[05:22] ---**
You're on. And I'm not gonna lose this time!
**[05:24] ---**
Wild Four!
**[05:35] ---**
I told you it doesn't suit me!
**[05:38] ---**
Just the opposite! It suits you to a T!
**[05:40] ---**
You're beautiful, Kagura.
**[05:41] ---**
Better not underestimate Kagura!
**[05:51] ---**
Who'd ever think we'd be
invited to the palace?
**[05:55] ---**
Some things do change.
**[06:01] ---**
And on July 7th...
**[06:06] ---**
...we beat what's known as fate!
**[06:13] ---**
Hi.
**[06:15] ---**
Gajeel!
**[06:18] ---**
So that's what you're wearin'?
**[06:21] ---**
Huh? Does it look strange?
**[06:24] ---**
Nah, not bad.
**[06:27] ---**
You know, I'm just happy you're alive.
**[06:30] ---**
Don't assume I'll get killed.
**[06:32] ---**
After all, you faced off against
a huge dragon by yourself.
**[06:36] ---**
I'd think anybody could die
in a situation like that.
**[06:39] ---**
Mind your own business.
**[06:41] ---**
Let me mind your business a little bit.
**[06:44] ---**
That's what's annoying about you.
**[06:51] ---**
Idiot! What are you cryin' about?!
**[06:54] ---**
I don't know. Sorry.
**[06:57] ---**
D-Don't apologize...
**[07:08] ---**
Lucy-san!
**[07:10] ---**
Princess Hisui!
**[07:25] ---**
So you are related to the
Heartfilia conglomerate!
**[07:29] ---**
That was a long time ago, though.
**[07:30] ---**
I was a friend of your father's.
**[07:34] ---**
Really?!
**[07:35] ---**
Even though he was a great help to me,
I've given you nothing but grief.
**[07:40] ---**
Oh, no, I'm a guild wizard.
Trouble comes with the territory.
**[07:47] ---**
By the way, I notice you're not with the boy
with the cherry blossom-colored hair.
**[07:52] ---**
Come to think of it,
I wonder where he is.
**[07:56] ---**
Gray-sama...
**[07:59] ---**
I've become Juvia, version 2.0.
**[08:05] ---**
Since when have you been like a machine?
**[08:08] ---**
And now Juvia is plunging into a new age.
**[08:15] ---**
Gray-sama, I love you!
**[08:17] ---**
No thank you!
**[08:22] ---**
I've also entered a new age.
**[08:24] ---**
When I don't like something,
I'm gonna be brutally honest about it.
**[08:32] ---**
Gray-sama, you're dreamy
even when you scold Juvia!
**[08:35] ---**
The new version is worse than the old!
**[08:37] ---**
Don't talk like that, Gray.
**[08:39] ---**
Lyon!
**[08:40] ---**
I got the message loud and clear today.
**[08:43] ---**
Juvia isn't interested in me.
**[08:46] ---**
Finally!
**[08:48] ---**
Anyway, I wonder where Natsu went.
**[08:51] ---**
It's hard to believe Natsu-san's
not at a noisy place.
**[09:00] ---**
Check it out, Cheria! It looks like a jewel!
**[09:02] ---**
Beautiful, isn't it?
I wonder what it tastes like.
**[09:08] ---**
Delicious!
**[09:11] ---**
It looks delicious.
**[09:14] ---**
Stare...
**[09:16] ---**
First Master!
**[09:18] ---**
Is something wrong?
**[09:20] ---**
Oh no, it's nothing.
**[09:23] ---**
Only Fairy Tail members
can see our First Master.
**[09:29] ---**
I want to eat that, too.
**[09:31] ---**
Please restrain yourself.
You're a ghost, remember.
**[09:35] ---**
By the way, First Master,
have you seen Natsu-san?
**[09:37] ---**
No.
**[09:39] ---**
That's strange. He's always the one who
stands out the most at this kind of event.
**[09:45] ---**
Wendy! There's something near me! Help!
**[09:49] ---**
Natsu ain't here?
**[09:50] ---**
Normally, he'd be running wild
right where we're standing.
**[09:53] ---**
Laxus-sama!
**[09:56] ---**
You're so muscular!
**[09:57] ---**
Hey! Don't fawn on Laxus!
**[10:00] ---**
Lu-chan and the others haven't
seen him today either.
**[10:02] ---**
We're talkin' about Natsu,
so there's nothing to worry about.
**[10:05] ---**
He's probably sleepin' somewhere.
**[10:12] ---**
Jeez. It's hard to walk in these.
**[10:18] ---**
How are your injuries, Kagura?
**[10:20] ---**
I could ask you the same.
**[10:22] ---**
We've been through a lot...
**[10:25] ---**
...but can we come out of it as friends?
**[10:27] ---**
I decline.
**[10:29] ---**
I was hoping you would become
more like an older sister.
**[10:37] ---**
Well, who knew? You're actually cute.
**[10:42] ---**
I was obviously kidding, you numbskull!
**[10:46] ---**
Kagura has totally ruined her image, too!
**[10:51] ---**
Millianna, how long are
you going to mope around?
**[10:57] ---**
Only one thing I can do for you.
**[11:01] ---**
Here.
**[11:02] ---**
Feelin' spiffy!
**[11:05] ---**
A kitty-cat!
**[11:08] ---**
Here! Look!
**[11:10] ---**
Lots of kitty-cats!
**[11:15] ---**
Hey, we're not stuffed animals!
**[11:17] ---**
Aye, sir!
**[11:18] ---**
Erza!
**[11:20] ---**
Squishy-squishy-squish!
**[11:22] ---**
Happy, why isn't Natsu here?
**[11:24] ---**
I don't know!
**[11:26] ---**
Not showing up at a time like this...
Has something happened?
**[11:33] ---**
Natsu-san! Have a drink with me!
**[11:35] ---**
Come on, Natsu-kun!
**[11:38] ---**
The Salamander ain't here.
**[11:40] ---**
Huh? And I was thinking we could
make a toast to friendship...
**[11:44] ---**
Looks like your plan didn't work.
**[11:46] ---**
Fro thinks so, too.
**[11:48] ---**
Raios!
**[11:49] ---**
Don't call me that. It's Rogue.
**[11:52] ---**
Do you know about the guy
who came from the future?
**[11:56] ---**
Yeah, I do. Even though
he's me, it's pathetic.
**[12:00] ---**
But I'm not gonna become that guy, ever!
**[12:05] ---**
Fro thinks so, too!
**[12:08] ---**
I'll make do with you,
Gajeel-san! Let's have a drink!
**[12:11] ---**
Y'know, you're outright rude!
**[12:14] ---**
He just has no social graces,
so please become friends with him.
**[12:17] ---**
He actually seems cheerful.
**[12:19] ---**
I have no memory of Sting being like this.
**[12:25] ---**
A toast to friendship
between fairies and tigers!
**[12:39] ---**
Yukino!
**[12:41] ---**
I-I'm sorry!
**[12:44] ---**
Wait!
**[12:46] ---**
I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were here.
**[12:49] ---**
Master and his daughter have disappeared.
**[12:54] ---**
We're going to start over. We're gonna
remake Sabertooth from the ground up!
**[13:01] ---**
We were, um... far from kind to you.
**[13:06] ---**
But I wanna make a guild
that treasures its members.
**[13:12] ---**
And why are you telling me this?
**[13:15] ---**
I want you to come back... although
that might be asking too much.
**[13:21] ---**
Of course! That's asking for
so much, it's ridiculous!
**[13:24] ---**
Kagura-sama!
**[13:25] ---**
Yukino's life belongs to me.
**[13:28] ---**
She's joining Mermaid Heel,
and I'll brook no objections!
**[13:32] ---**
What?!
**[13:37] ---**
You're drunk!
**[13:39] ---**
Shut up! Yukino belongs to Mermaid!
**[13:44] ---**
Wait!
**[13:46] ---**
We can't stay silent in this matter, either.
**[13:48] ---**
That's a Man.
**[13:49] ---**
That's right! The way things have been going,
it's natural for her to join our guild!
**[13:52] ---**
Yeah!
**[13:53] ---**
Juvia doesn't need any more competition
to be Gray-sama's bride, but...
**[13:57] ---**
We have similar characteristics, but...
**[14:00] ---**
Short blond hair! Little sister personality!
**[14:03] ---**
Even everyone in Fairy Tail...
**[14:05] ---**
We disagree.
**[14:07] ---**
If a beautiful woman like you...
**[14:09] ---**
...joins us in Blue Pegasus...
**[14:11] ---**
...you'll shine.
**[14:12] ---**
Sniff-sniff! I smell a
sweet, beautiful parfum!
**[14:15] ---**
Join us!
**[14:17] ---**
If it's come to this, then Lamia Scale shall
also take part in the battle for Yukino.
**[14:21] ---**
What's the point of competing?
**[14:23] ---**
Join us!
**[14:24] ---**
Don't get mad about it.
**[14:25] ---**
In a guild that reeks of men,
one beauty would make my soul tremble!
**[14:29] ---**
I don't care about the tournament,
but we will win this battle!
**[14:35] ---**
W-Wait. Everyone...
**[14:39] ---**
Let's go for it!
**[14:40] ---**
This is the perfect way to
forget about the tournament.
**[14:43] ---**
You'll spin!
**[14:44] ---**
The blood from my youthful
days is bubbling up!
**[14:48] ---**
Even the masters! What should we do?!
**[14:51] ---**
That's love for you.
**[14:53] ---**
C'mere, you!
**[14:54] ---**
You dirty bastard!
**[14:55] ---**
Let's stop this!
**[14:57] ---**
Get 'em!
**[14:58] ---**
Rip out Makarov's hair!
**[15:00] ---**
Keep your clothes on, old biddy!
**[15:02] ---**
It's a melee!
**[15:11] ---**
It's nothing to cry about.
**[15:13] ---**
But...
**[15:16] ---**
...even if it's not true... I'm so happy...
**[15:20] ---**
You're smiling at last.
**[15:27] ---**
Look at all the places where you belong.
**[15:30] ---**
Yes.
**[15:35] ---**
Everyone! That's enough!
**[15:43] ---**
You showed great valor during
the Grand Magic Games,
**[15:46] ---**
and your efforts saved the country.
**[15:48] ---**
His Majesty would express his
appreciation directly, so take heed!
**[15:52] ---**
King!
**[15:54] ---**
Shhh.
**[16:06] ---**
Wha?!
**[16:08] ---**
My subjects! Make yourselves comfortable!
**[16:11] ---**
Give that back-kabo!
**[16:16] ---**
I'm the king! I became the king!
**[16:26] ---**
Garou Knights, if you would...
**[16:28] ---**
W-We can't beat him...
**[16:34] ---**
Give it back-kabo!
**[16:35] ---**
Oh, come on! We won, right?
**[16:38] ---**
Give it back-kabo!
**[16:39] ---**
Let me be the king, too!
**[16:41] ---**
You're all my followers!
**[16:44] ---**
You're taking that too far.
**[16:45] ---**
Aye, sir!
**[16:59] ---**
The curtain closed on the Grand Magic
Games with Fairy Tail's victory,
**[17:04] ---**
the battle involving the
past and future was over,
**[17:08] ---**
and Natsu and his friends enjoyed
the grand ball at the royal palace.
**[17:13] ---**
However...
**[17:49] ---**
Here, water.
**[17:54] ---**
You're hopeless.
**[17:56] ---**
Father...
**[18:02] ---**
Hisui...
**[18:04] ---**
I deeply apologize for what happened.
**[18:11] ---**
I'm prepared to accept my just punishment
as soon as this party is over.
**[18:16] ---**
Princess Hisui...
**[18:19] ---**
Please wait.
**[18:21] ---**
Hm?
**[18:21] ---**
Arcadios-sama!
**[18:24] ---**
The princess originally implemented the
Eclipse Project to annihilate Lord Zeref.
**[18:30] ---**
Then she moved on to Eclipse Project 2
**[18:35] ---**
after being tricked by the future Rogue,
**[18:37] ---**
believing it would repel the invasion
of Fiore by 10,000 dragons.
**[18:41] ---**
In other words, she did it all
for the sake of this country.
**[18:47] ---**
Darton...
**[18:48] ---**
That's not all!
**[18:51] ---**
She did her best to protect
the future of this world!
**[18:55] ---**
Yes. The princess is not at fault here.
**[18:58] ---**
I concur.
**[19:00] ---**
I would make allowances.
**[19:04] ---**
I say let it be water under the bridge!
**[19:06] ---**
Thanks to her, we wizards
came together as one.
**[19:10] ---**
Aye, sir!
**[19:12] ---**
Yeah, you can say that again.
**[19:14] ---**
If it weren't for an occasion like this,
we may never have united.
**[19:21] ---**
Everyone...
**[19:23] ---**
Juvia and Gray-sama also united!
**[19:27] ---**
No, we did not!
**[19:30] ---**
I'm grateful for it all, too.
**[19:32] ---**
Yeah. I feel like I received
something valuable.
**[19:36] ---**
Fro thinks so, too!
**[19:38] ---**
That's right! The unity within
Sabertooth is stronger than before!
**[19:42] ---**
Exactly! And so, I'll render our verdict!
**[19:46] ---**
Princess Hisui is innocent!
I shall brook no dissent!
**[19:48] ---**
You'd better not underestimate Kagura!
**[19:50] ---**
That's right!
**[19:52] ---**
At ease, ladies!
**[19:54] ---**
You're only complicating things.
**[19:56] ---**
What's that?!
**[19:57] ---**
You're the ones that are complicating it!
**[20:01] ---**
You are standing before His Majesty!
**[20:13] ---**
I understand how all of you feel.
**[20:16] ---**
However, I must put my foot down.
**[20:19] ---**
Your Majesty, punish me!
**[20:21] ---**
No, it is I who deserve punishment!
**[20:24] ---**
In that case, we all do!
**[20:27] ---**
Right.
**[20:34] ---**
I deem Arcadios's sense of loyalty to Hisui
**[20:37] ---**
and Darton's loyalty to the nation
**[20:40] ---**
to both be wonderful.
**[20:44] ---**
And most wonderful of all...
**[20:51] ---**
...is you wizards who love peace
throughout this world.
**[20:55] ---**
Your Majesty...
**[20:56] ---**
Therefore, the punishment
for my daughter, Hisui...
**[21:07] ---**
...is wearing that for one week-kabo!
**[21:13] ---**
Your Majesty! Then the princess...
**[21:15] ---**
If she wears it for one week...
**[21:17] ---**
I'll acquit her! She'll continue to be
Princess Hisui, my pride and joy!
**[21:27] ---**
Good for you, Princess!
**[21:31] ---**
Yes... kabo.
**[21:39] ---**
They're growing up.
**[21:41] ---**
The young generation that bears
the future on its shoulders.
**[21:46] ---**
Yes.
**[21:47] ---**
Um, thank you for everything...
**[21:52] ---**
...kabo.
**[21:53] ---**
But isn't that kind of tough-kabo?
**[21:56] ---**
Nah, it kinda looks like fun-kabo!
**[21:59] ---**
Happy thinks so, too-kabo!
**[22:02] ---**
In that case, I've got
enough for everyone-kabo!
**[22:13] ---**
Kabo!
**[23:55] ---**
Natsu, what do you wanna do
when we get back to Magnolia?
**[23:58] ---**
Go on a bunch of fun quests!
**[24:01] ---**
I wanna go fishing!
**[24:03] ---**
Come to think of it, you haven't
done that in a long time!
**[24:05] ---**
Actually, I found a great out-of-the-way
place that has a monster fish,
**[24:09] ---**
so when we get back,
I'm set on catching it!
**[24:12] ---**
Sounds like fun! Maybe I'll join you!
**[24:15] ---**
Next time: Drop of Time!
**[24:17] ---**
I hope everyone back in
Magnolia is doin' well...
**[24:20] ---**
We have to get home
and tell everyone we won!
