[00:28] ---
    I'm a child!
[00:47] ---
    What's going on here?!
[00:53] ---
    Do I even have armor that
    would fit this size?
[00:57] ---
    No, wrong question. More importantly...
[02:40] ---
    Natsu and the other Fairy Tail members
    come to Sun Village at Warrod's request.
[02:45] ---
    Waiting for them there are frozen giants
[02:50] ---
    and the treasure hunter guild,
     Sylph Labyrinth.
[02:53] ---
    Sylph Labyrinth is after the village's treasure,
     so they see Fairy Tail as rivals.
[02:59] ---
    Meanwhile, Erza is investigating on her own
[03:03] ---
    when she turns into a child
    without any warning.
[03:09] ---
    Will Natsu and the others be able to
[03:13] ---
    bring the frozen giants back to normal?
[03:17] ---
    Why has Erza become a child?
[03:23] ---
    And Natsu and the other
    members don't know yet
[03:27] ---
    that Minerva, whom Erza fought
    once, is also in Sun Village.

[03:56] ---
    Ow...
[04:00] ---
    My body isn't moving like I want it to.
[04:03] ---
    I guess there's a disconnect between how I
    imagine my body moving and my physique.
[04:07] ---
    Still, what happened?
[04:10] ---
    If I don't find a way to
    get back to normal fast...
[04:14] ---
    For example, if I stood next to Wendy...
[04:19] ---
    Now it's like I'm the big sister, huh?
[04:22] ---
    Just by a little...
[04:24] ---
    And if Natsu and Gray saw me like this...
[04:28] ---
    Let's fight, Erza!
[04:31] ---
    Now we can win!
[04:33] ---
    No, that's nothing.
    If Jellal saw me like this...
[04:42] ---
    Sorry, but I'm not into little girls.
[04:45] ---
    No!
[04:48] ---
    I have to get back to normal, no matter what!
[05:24] ---
    For not using magic, you guys are impressive.
[05:28] ---
    Hey, we're Sylph Labyrinth.
[05:31] ---
    Don't group us together with all
    the other treasure hunter guilds.
[05:36] ---
    We're the guild that won the
    Grand Secret Treasure Games,
SIGN    The Grand Secret Treasure Games
[05:39] ---
    which decides the number one
    treasure hunter guild in Fiore!
[05:44] ---
    Grand Secret Treasure Games?!
[05:45] ---
    I'm Hiroshi the Sword!
[05:48] ---
    I'm Lala the Hammer!
[05:50] ---
    I'm Drake the Sniper!
[05:52] ---
    Together, we are Sylph Labyrinth!
[05:55] ---
    The mighty, super-cool trio!
[05:57] ---
    So the treasure hunting world
    has a similar festival, huh?
[06:02] ---
    C-Congratulations...
[06:04] ---
    That's awesome!
[06:05] ---
    Don't seriously be impressed!
[06:07] ---
    If you get it, then get the hell outta here.
[06:09] ---
    You wizards over there are no match for us.
[06:13] ---
    Except I'm not over there.
[06:16] ---
    Ta-da.
[06:18] ---
    What?!
[06:19] ---
    The Moon Drip!
[06:20] ---
    Thanks to Ice Make: Thief's Hand.
[06:24] ---
    When did you...?!
[06:25] ---
    He's a thief! A total thief!
[06:28] ---
    Drake! Shoot him!
[06:29] ---
    Gladly!
[06:31] ---
    Sagittarius!
[06:31] ---
    Leave it to me!
[06:34] ---
    What?!
[06:35] ---
    Again, I am a master archer,
    as it were-moshimoshi!
[06:39] ---
    Give it back, thief!
[06:42] ---
    I'm gonna save the giants!
    Sorry, but we're keeping this!
[06:48] ---
    Natsu!
[06:49] ---
    Got it!
[06:52] ---
    Whoa!
[06:53] ---
    Lucy!
[06:55] ---
    Okay!
[06:56] ---
    Chain Blade! Gunner form!
[07:04] ---
    Wendy!
[07:05] ---
    Right!
[07:09] ---
    Carla!
[07:11] ---
    Roger!
[07:13] ---
    Jeez! That's dangerous!
[07:16] ---
    Happy!
[07:18] ---
    Aye, sir!
[08:07] ---
    It broke!
[08:11] ---
    What the hell did you do?!
    You people are the vilest of villains!
[08:14] ---
    You destroyed what you stole!
     Boom! Boom! Boom!
[08:21] ---
    I'm sorry...
[08:26] ---
    But look at that!
[08:33] ---
    Only that little bit of ice is melting.
[08:36] ---
    Then that amount of Moon Drip wouldn't have
    been enough to save the whole village, anyway.
[08:42] ---
    I don't believe it! Our plan was
    doomed to fail from the start?!
[08:46] ---
    And I thought the Moon Drip would
    thaw out the Eternal Flame with a boom!
[08:51] ---
    Boom! Let's change the plan!
[08:53] ---
    That's a total do-over!
[08:55] ---
    Your speech tics have switched.
[09:02] ---
    Natsu... If you're gonna hit me,
     make it on my butt.
[09:12] ---
    I can hear something...
[09:18] ---
    Someone's... voice...
[09:23] ---
    A voice?
[09:25] ---
    Someone's voice is coming from the
    ground where the ice melted...
[09:30] ---
    It's kinda calling out.
[09:32] ---
    Calling out?
[09:33] ---
    Yeah.
[09:37] ---
    I can't hear anything.
[09:41] ---
    This way!
[09:42] ---
    Natsu!
[09:43] ---
    I've heard that voice before!
[09:46] ---
    Natsu, wait!
[09:48] ---
    Hey, what is this?!
[09:51] ---
    What did he hear?
[09:52] ---
    Anyway, let's follow him!
[09:54] ---
    Right!
[09:55] ---
    Wait for me!
[10:07] ---
    We can't let it end like this! After them!
[10:10] ---
    Did you see those golden keys?!
     They're totally rare!
[10:15] ---
    Can treasure hunters go back
    to the guild empty-handed?!
[10:28] ---
    Whose voice was that?!
    Dammit! I can't recall!
[10:39] ---
    A comrade of the thieves?
    There are more of you?
[10:43] ---
    I'm no thief.
[10:46] ---
    Now then, go back, go back...
[10:49] ---
    ...to the memory of a long-ago day.
[10:54] ---
    W-What the...?!
[11:01] ---
    What the hell is this?!
[11:04] ---
    Changing you into a little brat
    makes it easy to dispose of you.
[11:27] ---
    I can use magic... but...
[11:31] ---
    ...my requip speed is down.
[11:33] ---
    And my magic consumption
     is increasing.
[11:36] ---
    My athletic ability has
    decreased significantly.
[11:39] ---
    And my feet are cold...
[11:42] ---
    If I don't go back to normal soon...
    But I can't do anything until I know the cause.
[11:47] ---
    Titania has been spoiled too, I see.
[11:53] ---
    Minerva!
[12:19] ---
    Long time no see, Titania.
[12:21] ---
    What are you doing here?
[12:23] ---
    You disappeared after the Grand Magic
    Games. I was worried about you.
[12:28] ---
    Worried? About me?
[12:41] ---
    Yagdo Rigora!
[12:45] ---
    I'm furious!
[12:47] ---
    And am I supposed to flinch from that fury?
[12:55] ---
    My fury is the guild's fury!
[13:01] ---
    Nonsense! It's nonsense!
[13:05] ---
    It's over!
[13:07] ---
    Ih Ragdo!
[13:12] ---
    S-Stop...
[13:14] ---
    It's payback time!
[13:16] ---
    Don't! I... I...
[13:19] ---
    Nakagami Starlight!
[13:33] ---
    It's not just me.
[13:35] ---
    I hear the Sabertooth wizards
    are worried about you, too.
[13:39] ---
    They thought maybe you lost your life
    in that battle with the dragons.
[13:46] ---
    Where have you been and what have you
    been doing all this time, Minerva?
[13:50] ---
    I changed guilds. In fact,
    this is my first assignment.
[13:55] ---
    You changed guilds?
[13:56] ---
    Yes. But I had no idea we would cross paths.
[14:02] ---
    That emblem... Succubus Eye!
[14:05] ---
    A dark guild!
[14:13] ---
    What the hell is this?! I'm a little kid!
[14:17] ---
    Hey! Did you do this?!
[14:19] ---
    That's right.
[14:21] ---
    My name is Doriate. I'm a member
    of the guild called Succubus Eye.
[14:27] ---
    I shall rule over a powerful guild.
[14:30] ---
    It doesn't matter to me whether
    the guild is dark or otherwise.
[14:33] ---
    I like the view from a strong world.
[14:36] ---
    You're saying Succubus Eye
    is that kind of guild?
[14:39] ---
    This guild is no more than a foothold.
[14:42] ---
    I shall climb much higher.
[14:44] ---
    Have you lost your pride
    as a wizard, Minerva?
[14:48] ---
    Pride?
[14:50] ---
    Sting, Rogue, and the others
    are searching for you.
[14:53] ---
    Aren't you ashamed when you think
    of your former comrades?
[14:56] ---
    I heard that Sabertooth became
    a bunch of wimps after I left.
[15:02] ---
    I have no regrets about people like that.
[15:06] ---
    Are you serious?
[15:08] ---
    Enough talk. Let's have a rematch.
[15:12] ---
    Although I don't think you'll be
    able to do anything in that form.
[15:16] ---
    So you're responsible for altering my form?!
[15:19] ---
    No. My partner's magic did that.
[15:23] ---
    There's a lot of interesting magic
    in the underworld.
[15:27] ---
    You're a thief, but you can use magic?!
[15:30] ---
    I told you, I'm not a thief.
[15:33] ---
    Whatever happened to
    fighting fair and square?
[15:36] ---
    The underworld has its own way to fight.
[15:39] ---
    My way of thinking has broadened.
[15:42] ---
    Steel yourself. This isn't a festival
    like the Grand Magic Games.
[15:48] ---
    It's a life or death battle.
[15:59] ---
    Well, whatever. I need to take you out.
[16:06] ---
    Dammit! I even move like a little kid!
[16:08] ---
    Roar of the Fire Dragon!
[16:15] ---
    What is this?! I could use more
    magic than this when I was a kid!
[16:19] ---
    Outward appearance is only a bonus effect!
[16:21] ---
    My Retrogression Magic
    decreases human abilities!
[16:26] ---
    Retrogression Magic?!
[16:27] ---
    That's right!
[16:31] ---
    That's fightin' dirty!
[16:48] ---
    Ow! Ow! Ow!
[16:50] ---
    What kind of a punch are you packin'?!
[16:52] ---
    Your defenses are also lowered.
[16:56] ---
    You got me, dammit!
[17:03] ---
    And what the hell is that?!
[17:11] ---
    What's what?
[17:14] ---
    Crap! He got away!
[17:19] ---
    Brats have their own magic!
[17:21] ---
    This brings back memories!
    Gildarts fell for it every time!
[17:26] ---
    Sorry, but I'm searchin' for a voice! See ya!
[17:33] ---
    That brat is playing me for a fool...
[17:40] ---
    But he shall learn the terror
    of inhumanly power.
[17:51] ---
    Wendy! Are you okay?!
[17:53] ---
    Sorry. The ground is so slippery...
[17:56] ---
    We got separated from Gray.
[17:59] ---
    What should we do? I have
    no idea where we are.
[18:04] ---
    Carla and I will look for him from above!
[18:07] ---
    You two look on land!
[18:11] ---
    Lucy-san, there's something on my mind...
[18:16] ---
    On my mind... More like,
    it's really strange...
[18:21] ---
    It looks like we're being followed.
[18:23] ---
    We're totally cool cats-nya!
[18:26] ---
    I'm a white cat-nya-boom!
[18:31] ---
    We were flying before, but we came back.
[18:34] ---
    Let's stick together again!
[18:37] ---
    Um... Are we supposed to think
    you're Happy and Carla?
[18:46] ---
    They saw through our treasure
    hunters' disguise skills?!
[18:51] ---
    I knew I should've been the blue cat!
[18:54] ---
    They really thought we
    would be fooled by that?
[18:57] ---
    Who can tell what treasure
    hunters are thinking?
[19:02] ---
    Since they exposed us, there's only one thing
    to do! Let's totally change the target!
[19:05] ---
    Those keys of yours are totally rare, right?!
[19:08] ---
    We'll take 'em like, boom!
[19:10] ---
    What's with these guys?
[19:12] ---
    Um... I apologize for the bottle.
[19:15] ---
    We don't wish to fight.
    We just want to help the giants.
[19:20] ---
    The giants?
[19:22] ---
    I don't give a rat's ass about them!
[19:27] ---
    For treasure hunters, there's only one
    standard with which to assess things.
[19:32] ---
    It's whether something is a treasure or not!
[19:41] ---
    Stop it! They're still alive!
[19:44] ---
    Dead or alive, if it ain't a treasure,
     I'm not interested!
[19:50] ---
    Please stop it.
[19:51] ---
    I ain't gonna stop.
[19:53] ---
    I do whatever the hell I want,
    and take what I want.
[19:56] ---
    That's a treasure hunter!
[20:00] ---
    Please stop it!
[20:14] ---
    I didn't want to be at odds with you,
    but you're being cruel. I can't just ignore it!
[20:18] ---
    Instead of harming the villagers,
     take us on instead!
[20:21] ---
    Nice idea. We'll take the
    treasure and the women.
[20:25] ---
    I don't need any women.
    Let's kill 'em with a boom.
[20:31] ---
    There are three of us and you two ladies.
[20:35] ---
    What can you do?
[20:42] ---
    Wendy!
[20:43] ---
    Gotcha!
[20:57] ---
    Flare-san?
[20:58] ---
    What are you doing here?!
[21:03] ---
    Make that three ladies...
[21:06] ---
    A redhead, a bluenette... and a blonde.
[21:18] ---
    This is ridiculous!
    What's the point of us fighting now?
[21:22] ---
    There's always a point to fighting.
[21:26] ---
    I'm not so lenient that I would let bygones
    be bygones with the person who humiliated me.
[21:33] ---
    Prepare yourself, Titania.
[21:42] ---
    Hey, Natsu! Where'd you go?!
[21:53] ---
    Natsu!
[21:54] ---
    Let's hurry! I kind of have
    a bad feeling about this.
[21:57] ---
    Right!
[22:02] ---
    I can't just let that kid get away with it.
[22:10] ---
    I'm sure of it! I've heard that voice before!
[22:14] ---
    But who is it?!
[22:21] ---
    Argh! I can't remember!
[23:56] ---
    Lucy and Wendy are up against
    strong treasure hunters.
[24:01] ---
    They're in a pinch when
    Flare comes running in.
[24:04] ---
    What's she doing in Sun Village?
[24:07] ---
    And so the heated battle with
    the treasure hunters rages on.
[24:12] ---
    Can they protect the Eternal Flame,
     as well as the giants?
[24:18] ---
    Next time: The Demon Returns!
[24:21] ---
    Observe the power of wizards!
