**[00:01] ---**
Sun Village.
**[00:03] ---**
It's populated by the frozen forms of giants.
**[00:07] ---**
While trying to save them,
Lucy and other Fairy Tail members
**[00:12] ---**
battle three members of Sylph Labyrinth,
whose goal is the village's treasure.
**[00:13] ---**
Natsu!
**[00:14] ---**
Got it!
**[00:15] ---**
Lucy!
**[00:16] ---**
Okay!
**[00:17] ---**
Wendy!
**[00:19] ---**
Meanwhile, Doriate's magic has turned
**[00:22] ---**
Natsu and Erza into children.
**[00:26] ---**
What the hell is this?!
**[00:29] ---**
Erza is confronted by her
onetime enemy, Minerva.
**[00:36] ---**
Enough talk.
**[00:38] ---**
Let's have a rematch.
**[00:40] ---**
Although I don't think you'll be
able to do anything in that form.
**[00:44] ---**
So you're responsible for altering my form?!
**[00:48] ---**
No. My partner's magic did that.
**[00:51] ---**
There's a lot of interesting magic
in the underworld.
**[00:55] ---**
You're a thief, but you can use magic?!
**[00:59] ---**
I told you, I'm not a thief.
**[01:02] ---**
Whatever happened to
fighting fair and square?
**[01:05] ---**
The underworld has its own way to fight.
**[01:08] ---**
My way of thinking has broadened.
**[01:11] ---**
Steel yourself. This isn't a festival
like the Grand Magic Games.
**[01:16] ---**
It's a life or death battle.
**[01:24] ---**
That's fightin' dirty!
**[01:42] ---**
And what the hell is that?!
**[01:48] ---**
What's what?
**[01:51] ---**
Crap! He got away!
**[01:53] ---**
Natsu runs through the forest, searching
for a strange voice that he heard.
**[01:58] ---**
Sorry, but I'm searchin' for a voice!
**[02:02] ---**
There are three of us and you two ladies.
**[02:06] ---**
What can you do?
**[02:14] ---**
Wendy!
**[02:15] ---**
Gotcha!
**[02:26] ---**
When Lucy and Wendy are in
a pinch, Flare saves them.
**[02:32] ---**
What is Minerva's goal?
**[02:36] ---**
And who does the mystery voice that
Natsu is looking for belong to?
**[04:16] ---**
The villagers are encased in ice but alive.
**[04:19] ---**
I can't just forget about it.
I want you to save them.
**[04:23] ---**
That's my request.
**[04:26] ---**
I see! That's simple!
**[04:29] ---**
I'll melt all the ice with my flames!
**[04:31] ---**
If that's true, then what am I doing here?
**[04:34] ---**
Indeed, that is not ordinary ice.
**[04:37] ---**
Your ability is needed, too.
***SIGN*** The Demon Returns
**[04:53] ---**
Voice! Voice! Voice!
**[04:55] ---**
Where is that voice coming from?!
**[05:03] ---**
It's hard to move when I'm in kid form!
**[05:06] ---**
And when am I gonna turn back to normal?
**[05:09] ---**
Do I have to kick that guy's ass first?
**[05:13] ---**
Argh! This is no time for pondering!
**[05:16] ---**
Voice! Voice! Where's the voice?!
**[05:39] ---**
Flare?!
**[05:40] ---**
Flare... san?
**[05:42] ---**
Who's this woman?
**[05:44] ---**
One of their comrades?
**[05:46] ---**
Um... Thank you!
**[05:49] ---**
What are you doing here?
**[05:51] ---**
I followed you, Blondie.
**[05:56] ---**
Actually, I've been following
you all this time.
**[06:06] ---**
Just kidding.
**[06:09] ---**
I had nowhere else to go...
**[06:12] ---**
...so I came back here.
**[06:15] ---**
Came back?
**[06:17] ---**
That's right. This is my hometown.
**[06:21] ---**
This emblem is the crest of Sun Village.
**[06:26] ---**
Flare-san, you're from this village?
**[06:30] ---**
I don't believe it!
**[06:31] ---**
Giants raised me when I was young.
**[06:35] ---**
But when I came back, the villagers...
**[06:38] ---**
My family...
**[06:42] ---**
You'll pay for this!
**[06:44] ---**
Like, we're not the ones who froze them!
**[06:47] ---**
We came here to get the
Eternal Flame with a boom!
**[06:51] ---**
Oh, no, you don't!
**[06:53] ---**
The Eternal Flame is the
village's guardian deity!
**[06:57] ---**
It's precious to us!
**[06:59] ---**
I won't let anyone defile it!
**[07:03] ---**
Her hair just grew out!
**[07:04] ---**
Leave her to me!
**[07:12] ---**
Gate of the Crab, I open thee!
**[07:15] ---**
Cancer!
**[07:17] ---**
When it comes to hair,
you're in good hands-ebi!
**[07:21] ---**
Hair restoration scalp care!
**[07:26] ---**
It feels so good!
**[07:28] ---**
It's like these cuticles are on fire-ebi!
**[07:31] ---**
Blondie...
**[07:33] ---**
We're gonna protect the giants!
**[07:35] ---**
Let's fight together!
**[07:42] ---**
Revived!
**[07:50] ---**
Claw of the Sky Dragon!
**[07:58] ---**
You...
**[08:03] ---**
Jeez!
**[08:05] ---**
Gate of the Centaur,
I open thee! Sagittarius!
**[08:16] ---**
I am here once more!
**[08:32] ---**
I just got a good idea!
**[08:34] ---**
All right!
**[08:35] ---**
Gate of the Maiden, I open thee!
**[08:38] ---**
Virgo!
**[08:39] ---**
You called, Princess?
**[08:42] ---**
Take this opportunity to burrow through
the ground and come up behind the sniper!
**[08:46] ---**
That's a really good plan. On it!
**[08:51] ---**
What are you doing?
**[08:55] ---**
Princess, I can't burrow.
**[08:57] ---**
Why not?
**[08:58] ---**
This ice is permeated with special
magic, so I can't get through it.
**[09:03] ---**
Punishment, I assume?
**[09:07] ---**
Marksmanship and I lost...
**[09:09] ---**
Sagittarius!
**[09:10] ---**
You can't take modern weaponry lightly.
**[09:14] ---**
When it comes to rapid-fire performance,
you can't beat a rifle.
**[09:19] ---**
Hair Shower, Wolf Fang!
**[09:23] ---**
It's just hair! That's no match for my sword!
**[09:31] ---**
This hair was bestowed upon me by
the Eternal Flame! It's my pride!
**[09:37] ---**
Hair Shower, Fireflies!
**[09:40] ---**
Wha...?! What the hell is this?!
**[09:46] ---**
Hiroshi!
**[09:51] ---**
Little girl...
**[09:58] ---**
Average strength won't free you
from the clutches of my Stronger!
**[10:07] ---**
Wendy!
**[10:08] ---**
Uh-oh!
**[10:12] ---**
Blondie!
**[10:14] ---**
My hair...
**[10:17] ---**
Treasure hunter skill! Tying knots!
**[10:21] ---**
How's that? Now your Hair Magic
is totally tied up in knots!
**[10:25] ---**
Like shooting fish in a barrel...
**[10:31] ---**
Well, I expected no less.
**[10:33] ---**
Now do you, like, realize just
how strong Sylph Labyrinth is?
**[10:37] ---**
Better wait another, like, decade before
you pick a fight with us again, wizards!
**[10:43] ---**
You women should act like women and
just shake your ass in front of men.
**[10:49] ---**
Hey! Give me a little of
that ass-shaking here!
**[10:53] ---**
Good idea! Do it, do it, boom!
**[11:02] ---**
You guys really are morons, aren't you?
**[11:05] ---**
I could shake mine all day and night.
**[11:13] ---**
You'd better wait a century...
**[11:16] ---**
...before picking a fight with wizards again!
**[11:17] ---**
Offensive Strengthening Arms!
**[11:22] ---**
Even if it's tied up, I can extend my hair!
**[11:25] ---**
What?! Like, I didn't know that!
**[11:32] ---**
You...
**[11:33] ---**
Found you!
**[11:35] ---**
And in time!
**[11:36] ---**
Lucy!
**[11:38] ---**
Wing Attack of the Sky Dragon!
**[11:43] ---**
Hair Shower, Zigzag!
**[11:48] ---**
Lucy Kick!
**[11:50] ---**
And Virgo Kick!
**[11:59] ---**
Goodbye!
**[12:01] ---**
We did it!
**[12:06] ---**
Yeah.
**[12:13] ---**
Natsu!
**[12:16] ---**
Why is he always so much trouble?
Where did he go?
**[12:19] ---**
He said he heard somebody's voice.
**[12:22] ---**
But a voice from underground...
**[12:25] ---**
Happy!
**[12:29] ---**
W-What?
**[12:30] ---**
Shhh! Look!
**[12:33] ---**
Shhh!
**[12:47] ---**
A life or death battle?
**[12:50] ---**
Are you serious, Minerva?
**[12:51] ---**
This is the day I repay you
for the Grand Magic Games, Erza.
**[12:57] ---**
Get out of that dark guild, Minerva!
It isn't too late yet!
**[13:02] ---**
That's enough getting reacquainted
with each other. Here I go, Titania.
**[13:17] ---**
What's wrong? That was just a warm-up.
**[13:31] ---**
How far am I supposed to run?!
**[13:59] ---**
I was in this village when I was little.
**[14:04] ---**
How could you...? I mean, you're a normal...
**[14:09] ---**
That's right. I'm a normal human.
**[14:12] ---**
But I was raised in this village.
**[14:16] ---**
Everyone in the village was kind to me...
**[14:21] ---**
...but I hated being different
from everyone, so I left.
**[14:29] ---**
Before then, I'd never seen
humans the same size as me.
**[14:34] ---**
That actually scared me.
**[14:38] ---**
And then you joined Raven?
**[14:41] ---**
I didn't know how to make money.
**[14:45] ---**
I didn't know anything
when I joined Raven Tail.
**[14:48] ---**
That guild hated Fairy Tail.
**[14:52] ---**
They always badmouthed it.
**[14:55] ---**
But I didn't know any better,
so I took their word for it.
**[15:03] ---**
And things turned out as they have...
**[15:05] ---**
That's okay. Let's patch things up.
**[15:09] ---**
Yes. I'm sorry.
**[15:11] ---**
It's all right. I don't
have a grudge against you.
**[15:15] ---**
When you came back to your
hometown after all this time,
**[15:18] ---**
the village was like this, right?
**[15:21] ---**
Yes.
**[15:22] ---**
I was the only little person here,
and they were all so kind to me.
**[15:28] ---**
It's hard to see the villagers like this.
**[15:33] ---**
Don't cry! They're all still alive.
**[15:37] ---**
Yeah...
**[15:40] ---**
Maybe the Eternal Flame could
melt the ice surrounding them.
**[15:45] ---**
Follow me. I'll take you there.
**[15:52] ---**
Carla, what's that?
**[15:54] ---**
I-I don't know.
**[16:00] ---**
But we're in trouble. We can't fly
with that thing up there.
**[16:05] ---**
Aye... Where did Natsu go?
**[16:20] ---**
Whose voice is that?!
**[16:24] ---**
And when am I...
**[16:28] ---**
...gonna get back to my normal self?!
**[16:42] ---**
I like it. Erza, but a mere child.
**[16:51] ---**
You really are a child, aren't you?
**[16:58] ---**
I want to torment you more and more.
**[17:02] ---**
Enough to make me forget the
humiliation of the Grand Magic Games!
**[17:11] ---**
She's out of my league in this form!
**[17:14] ---**
If the one who cast this magic is
defeated... will it break the spell?
**[17:23] ---**
This is fun! So much fun!
**[17:38] ---**
Crap...
**[17:39] ---**
I can't find Natsu. Got separated
from Lucy and the others...
**[17:47] ---**
Hey, you!
**[17:56] ---**
This is annoying. Having to
deal with them one by one...
**[18:01] ---**
What the hell is with your mouth?!
**[18:05] ---**
The better to eat you with!
**[18:13] ---**
What the hell is this?
**[18:18] ---**
I'm... a kid?!
**[18:31] ---**
Deliora...
**[18:52] ---**
It happens sometimes.
**[18:53] ---**
When I turn people into kids,
they get flashbacks.
**[18:58] ---**
Poor guy...
**[19:02] ---**
Not that I give a rat's ass!
**[19:06] ---**
Demon! Deliora! H-Help...
**[19:11] ---**
You're not going anywhere.
**[19:13] ---**
I'll tell you just one thing
before I kill you.
**[19:16] ---**
There's a world out there
you must never set foot in.
**[19:22] ---**
It's past the gates of Hell.
**[19:25] ---**
But you lowlifes are standing
at the entrance right now.
**[19:30] ---**
Although I don't know why I bother
saying that to a brat.
**[19:36] ---**
Gray...
**[19:40] ---**
Deliora is gone...
**[19:42] ---**
I know!
**[19:44] ---**
I know, but they killed my mom and dad...
**[19:49] ---**
They're gone.
**[19:51] ---**
Muster up courage.
**[19:53] ---**
If you don't defeat the enemy right in front
of you, your comrades will be in danger.
**[19:59] ---**
Comrades?
**[20:01] ---**
Enemy right in front of me...
**[20:03] ---**
That's right.
**[20:05] ---**
I'm watching over you.
**[20:08] ---**
Ul...
**[20:09] ---**
...tear!
**[20:12] ---**
Cold!
**[20:16] ---**
Ice...
**[20:19] ---**
Demon...
**[20:21] ---**
Kid...
**[20:22] ---**
Moon Drip...
**[20:27] ---**
Too many things here bring back memories.
**[20:33] ---**
Pathetic... To let something like this
make me forget myself...
**[20:37] ---**
But I'm all right now.
**[20:39] ---**
Did you do this to the village?
**[20:43] ---**
What if I said, "That's right!"?
**[20:48] ---**
You used creepy Ice Magic like that...
**[20:52] ---**
I'll show you what real Ice Magic is!
**[20:55] ---**
Oh?
**[21:00] ---**
This is bad. If I don't turn back
into my normal self soon...
**[21:08] ---**
I suppose it's about time
I deliver the final blow.
**[21:27] ---**
End of the line, Titania.
**[21:32] ---**
The Eternal Flame is over here!
**[21:34] ---**
We have to meet up with
Natsu and the others soon!
**[21:37] ---**
I wonder where Erza-san and Gray-san are!
**[21:41] ---**
Hold on, everyone. I swear
I'll bring you back to normal!
**[21:51] ---**
Hurry up and go somewhere else!
**[21:54] ---**
What the heck is that bird?
**[21:59] ---**
What in the world is
happening in this village?
**[22:06] ---**
There! I heard the voice
coming from that mountain!
**[22:10] ---**
I'm sure of it!
**[23:56] ---**
Gray was turned into a child,
just like Natsu and Erza.
**[24:00] ---**
It's not only magic, but all of
his abilities have decreased.
**[24:05] ---**
It's under those circumstances
that the powerful Doriate pounces.
**[24:08] ---**
But despite facing overwhelming odds,
Gray's spirit will never break.
**[24:14] ---**
What is the counterattack that he unleashes?
**[24:17] ---**
Next time: Gray Versus Doriate!
**[24:20] ---**
The quintessential element
of Maker Magic is... freedom.
