[00:00] ---
    Hey, all you viewers out there!
[00:03] ---
    When you're watchin' Fairy Tail, make
    sure to keep the room nice and bright,
[00:07] ---
    and sit back from the screen, 'kay?
[00:10] ---
    Previously on Fairy Tail!
[00:13] ---
    U-U-Uh, oh!
[00:15] ---
    Laxus's Raijin Tribe have come and attacked
    in the middle of the Harvest Festival!
[00:20] ---
    They ruined the Miss Fairy Tail Contest,
    and took the contestants hostage,
[00:23] ---
    and now they've started some battle game!
[00:25] ---
    I have to do something!
[00:27] ---
    Except I happened to be stoned right now!
[00:47] [SONG] ---
    Yo Ho! Steer that rudder! Hard to port!
[00:52] [SONG] ---
    Yo Ho! Our high-flyin' lives are every which way!
[01:00] [SONG] ---
    When the sun goes down, there's a bon voyage bash.
[01:09] [SONG] ---
    It ain't sad at all.
[01:14] [SONG] ---
    As long as we're alive, we'll meet again somewhere!
[01:21] [SONG] ---
    Blast straight through a headwind, set off!
[01:25] [SONG] ---
    Stay strong until the tears dry up! A man gotta be tough.
[01:30] [SONG] ---
    Friends, friends, laugh one day!
[01:35] [SONG] ---
    As proof of our strong, strong bonds!
[01:39] [SONG] ---
    Now, grab that map to the shining future!
[02:00] ---
    It seems like there's some
    trouble at Fairy Tail.
[02:03] ---
    What's going on?
[02:05] ---
    Their members are fighting
    amongst each other.
[02:08] ---
    It's not just quarreling, they've
    been seriously going at each other!
[02:13] ---
    I hope their big parade,
    Fantasia, will be okay.
[02:22] ---
    Fairy Tail again?
[02:23] ---
    Don't go crazy in the city!
[02:26] ---
    Citizens?
[02:27] ---
    I see. It seems the rules inside the
    rune barriers only affect wizards.
[02:34] ---
    Visitar!
[02:35] ---
    Nab!
[02:36] ---
    Play nice and let yourself get blown away!
[02:38] ---
    If I don't put you to sleep,
    I can't go search for Laxus!
[02:43] ---
    This isn't the time to be
    fighting amongst ourselves,
[02:46] ---
    but if that's the way you want it!
[02:52] ---
    Max!
[02:53] ---
    I've seen through your plans!
[02:55] ---
    You're planning a surprise attack
    using your Sand Magic, aren't you?
[02:59] ---
    Your specialty, Telepathy?
[03:01] ---
    But even if you know it's coming,
    you can't dodge my attack, Warren!
[03:07] ---
    Take this!
[03:08] ---
    I told you, I can read your mind!
[03:10] ---
    That's pretty flashy for some festival show.
[03:12] ---
    Here they go again...
[03:13] ---
    What a bunch of troublemakers they are!
[03:17] ---
    Defeat your Friends to Save your Friends!
[03:21] ---
    This is for Mira-chan! Now
    hurry and take defeat like a man!
[03:25] ---
    A married man shouldn't be
    lusting after her like that!
[03:27] ---
    Like you should talk, divorcee!
[03:30] ---
    Bring it on!
[03:31] ---
    Laki! Yeah, it's the Harvest Festival, but...
[03:34] ---
    What's with the sudden style change?
[03:35] ---
    It looks slutty!
[03:37] ---
    Gunning for the Miss Fairy Tail Contest?
[03:39] ---
    All I did was cut my hair,
    and look at all the fuss...
[03:42] ---
    I'm such a bad-girl!
[03:44] ---
    Now I'm mad!
[03:45] ---
    Get her!
[03:50] ---
    There!
[03:54] ---
    Max vs. Warren. Winner: Warren.
[03:56] ---
    Vistar vs. Nab. Winner: Nab.
[03:59] ---
    Laki took out four, Macao vs.
    Wakaba's battle is in progress.
[04:04] ---
    Enough! Stop this, you foolish children!
[04:07] ---
    Rune traps have been set
    up throughout the city.
[04:10] ---
    And the ones who are trapped
    inside are forced to fight.
[04:13] ---
    That's the Battle of Fairy
    Tail that Laxus talked about.
[04:18] ---
    But why? I don't get it!
[04:23] ---
    Natsu...
[04:24] ---
    I wanna join, too!
[04:26] ---
    That's what he's upset about?
[04:28] ---
    What's with this invisible wall?
[04:33] ---
    And what do you plan to do by joining in?
[04:36] ---
    It's a tournament to see who's the strongest!
[04:38] ---
    How is this a tournament?
[04:41] ---
    This is all just Laxus's plan to
    get us to wipe each other out!
[04:46] ---
    Unless we can defeat the Raijin
    Tribe within the time limit,
[04:49] ---
    Erza and the other girls will turn to dust.
[04:51] ---
    Everyone is doing whatever
    they can to prevent that.
[04:54] ---
    It'll need something more than our usual way
    of thinking to take control of the situation!
[04:58] ---
    At this rate everyone who was turned
    to stone with crumble into dust.
[05:02] ---
    There won't be any way to restore them.
[05:04] ---
    Laxus acts bad, but he
    ain't gonna go that far.
[05:08] ---
    Yeah, he gets on my nerves, but
    he's a fellow guild member.
[05:11] ---
    It's a bluff, obviously.
[05:13] ---
    Natsu.
[05:14] ---
    This is just a fighting festival!
[05:16] ---
    But then why can't I get out?
[05:18] ---
    I can go through normally!
[05:22] ---
    People over 80 years old
    can't pass through...
[05:25] ---
    Does that mean I'm over 80?
[05:27] ---
    I don't think you are, but...
[05:30] ---
    You call Laxus your fellow member?
[05:34] ---
    You don't believe that he'll go that far?
[05:39] ---
    There's 2 hours and 18 minutes left.
[05:42] ---
    And there are... 42 people left.
[05:45] ---
    42 people? More than half are
    gone after the infighting!
[05:51] ---
    Go! Purple Rain!
[05:59] ---
    My Smoke Fake. You're getting rusty.
[06:02] ---
    You've always been too soft on people...
[06:08] ---
    The East Forest... The East Forest...
[06:11] ---
    I have to see Poluchka and get a
    potion to cure Erza and the others...
[06:21] ---
    I-It can't be!
[06:23] ---
    Are the runes set up around the entire city?
[06:28] ---
    I will allow no one to break my rules.
[06:33] ---
    Freed!
[06:34] ---
    Laxus should have told you that the
    field of battle was the entire city.
[06:39] ---
    If you're a wizard, then
    fight! Show me your power.
[06:45] ---
    That's the rule.
[06:48] ---
    And so...
[06:50] ---
    Damn it, where are those Raijin Tribe?
[06:53] ---
    It's Gray!
[06:58] ---
    Those are Bickslow's...
[06:59] ---
    Yo!
[07:01] ---
    Let's play!
[07:06] ---
    Evergreen!
[07:08] ---
    If you're a Man, then don't take hostages!
[07:11] ---
    Return my sister and the others to normal!
[07:15] ---
    Well, I'm not a man...
[07:22] ---
    I love flowers.
[07:25] ---
    They look so good... on me.
[07:32] ---
    The only thing that's cute
    about you is your name.
[07:36] ---
    Elfman.
[07:39] ---
    Return my sister and the others to normal!
[07:42] ---
    Can you beat me while you're blindfolded?
[07:51] ---
    There you are!
[07:54] ---
    I see! So you can tell where I am by smell.
[07:59] ---
    It's too bad though, because you
    are already inside my Fairy Dust.
[08:04] ---
    Fairy Bomb, Gremlin!
[08:15] ---
    I love statues.
[08:17] ---
    No matter how ugly a monster might be, they
    become a beautiful work of art when turned to stone.
[08:23] ---
    Now, gaze at me.
[08:27] ---
    Give your body up to beauty...
[08:33] ---
    Evergreen vs. Elfman. Winner: Evergreen.
[08:38] ---
    Elfman: Out of commission.
[08:40] ---
    I can't believe Elfman got beat!
[08:43] ---
    Gray's fighting Bickslow! I wanna join in!
[08:47] ---
    Reedus is fighting Freed, too!
[08:50] ---
    The Raijin Tribe has started
    to make their move!
[08:54] ---
    I guess that's it.
[08:56] ---
    Hold it!
[09:00] ---
    Let's settle this fight, man to man!
[09:03] ---
    I mean, man to girl!
[09:06] ---
    I thought you turned to stone.
[09:08] ---
    The magic wore off, and I came after you!
[09:12] ---
    I bet you don't know the tricks this
    man, I mean woman, has up her sleeves!
[09:16] ---
    Do you even have the courage to
    face me like a man, I mean woman?
[09:21] ---
    Whoops!
[09:28] ---
    A fake you made with your magic?
[09:31] ---
    You are a wizard who can make anything
    he paints come to life, after all.
[09:35] ---
    If I hadn't known that,
    I might have been fooled.
[09:42] ---
    Freed?
[09:44] ---
    I'm begging you, don't
    hurt anyone any more...
[09:49] ---
    You aren't that kind of man...
[09:56] ---
    Battle of Fairy Tail... 40 people left.
[10:02] ---
    Reedus was beaten!
[10:04] ---
    I figured Freed could do it! Look at him go!
[10:07] ---
    Is this really the time to be impressed?
[10:10] ---
    Now we can't get any help from Poluchka!
[10:13] ---
    We don't need any.
[10:14] ---
    The whole turning to dust thing is a bluff.
[10:17] ---
    You think I'm bluffing, Natsu?
[10:21] ---
    Laxus!
[10:22] ---
    It's a thought projection!
[10:24] ---
    So why are you still here, Natsu?
[10:28] ---
    I can't get out!
[10:30] ---
    Laxus...
[10:31] ---
    Your members... Well, I guess
    you call them your children.
[10:36] ---
    I bet you can't stand watching your
    children destroy each other, can you?
[10:40] ---
    Natsu and Erza can't join in...
[10:43] ---
    There's no one left who could
    defeat my Raijin Tribe, is there?
[10:48] ---
    Gonna give in?
[10:51] ---
    Gray's still there!
[10:53] ---
    He's about as strong as Natsu!
[10:55] ---
    He ain't gonna lose to no Raijin Tribe!
[10:58] ---
    The same as me?
[10:59] ---
    Him?
[11:00] ---
    But it's the truth!
[11:02] ---
    Gray?
[11:05] ---
    I wouldn't put much faith in that brat.
[11:08] ---
    Don't underestimate Gray, Laxus!
[11:16] ---
    Line Formation!
[11:24] ---
    Not bad, Gray!
[11:26] ---
    Next up, Victory Formation!
[11:29] ---
    What's the matter, Babies?
[11:34] ---
    When did he...
[11:38] ---
    Ice Make Hammer!
[11:42] ---
    X Formation!
[11:49] ---
    What's this?
[11:51] ---
    Part of my Seith Magic is the ability
    to possess the souls of dolls!
[11:57] ---
    Even if you freeze the dolls, I can
    transfer their souls to other bodies!
[12:04] ---
    What?
[12:05] ---
    This guy's gonna be annoying...
[12:17] ---
    Don't you get it? No matter how many
    of my dolls you destroy, it's no use!
[12:22] ---
    Then I'll freeze you directly instead!
[12:26] ---
    Go ahead and try!
[12:29] ---
    What, trying to escape?
[12:32] ---
    Wait!
[12:40] ---
    That bastard...
[12:41] ---
    Where the hell did he go?
[12:43] ---
    Up here, Gray!
[12:46] ---
    What in the world are you up to?
[12:48] ---
    I told you! I want to play
    with strong opponents!
[12:52] ---
    My babies are gettin' all bored recently!
[12:57] ---
    Runes?
[12:58] ---
    Using magic is prohibited for those within
    the barrier until the battle is over!
[13:04] ---
    One of Freed's traps?
[13:06] ---
    Guess a long-distance wizard like
    myself has a bit of an advantage here!
[13:19] ---
    I knew that without your magic,
    you'd be completely helpless!
[13:24] ---
    You think?
[13:29] ---
    Think you can hit me?
[13:38] ---
    That won't cut it, Gray!
[13:49] ---
    Don't, honey. Stand back from the window.
[13:52] ---
    But!
[13:55] ---
    Why that little... And after he
    got hit by my babies like that!
[14:08] ---
    My extra clothing helped cushion against the
    damage... Don't go scaring me like that.
[14:15] ---
    You should wear some heavy
    clothing sometimes, Gray.
[14:21] ---
    Gray is out of commission. 28 people left.
[14:30] ---
    See, didn't I tell you?
[14:32] ---
    Liar! I'm sure that he used some dirty trick!
[14:38] ---
    So who will beat the Raijin Tribe now?
[14:42] ---
    Gajeel will!
[14:43] ---
    Too bad. Doesn't seem
    like he's participatin'.
[14:47] ---
    He doesn't actually give a
    damn about the guild anyway.
[14:51] ---
    Well, I'm still here!
[14:53] ---
    If you can't get out, it
    won't do you any good.
[14:57] ---
    Fine, enough!
[15:01] ---
    I surrender.
[15:02] ---
    Gramps!
[15:04] ---
    Now, stop this Laxus.
[15:08] ---
    Can't do that.
[15:10] ---
    The high and mighty Master of Fairy Tail
    can't go surrendering at a time like this!
[15:16] ---
    But if you insist, then how about you
    give up your position as Master to me?
[15:22] ---
    That's playing dirty, Laxus!
[15:24] ---
    You scared a me, huh?
[15:27] ---
    You fiend...
[15:29] ---
    Was that your goal all along?
[15:31] ---
    It's only one and a half hours
    until the statues crumble.
[15:35] ---
    If you want to retire, use the guild's loudspeakers
    and announce it so the whole town can hear.
[15:41] ---
    Say, "I'm giving up my position
    as Master of Fairy Tail to Laxus!"
[15:46] ---
    Think about it well.
[15:48] ---
    Which is more important, your
    position or your friends?
[15:52] ---
    Hold it, damn it!
[15:57] ---
    If you won't fight me, how
    are you the strongest?
[16:00] ---
    How can you be the master?
[16:02] ---
    I don't care about being master.
[16:05] ---
    You're okay with it?
[16:06] ---
    But I cannot entrust Fairy Tail to Laxus!
[16:11] ---
    He doesn't understand the
    weight of the positoin!
[16:14] ---
    He lacks conviction and heart!
[16:17] ---
    But at this rate Lucy and the
    others will turn to dust...
[16:20] ---
    Someone has to defeat
    Laxus and his gang, or...
[16:27] ---
    Gajeel, that's where you were?
[16:30] ---
    Don't eat the dishware!
[16:31] ---
    Are you going to go?
[16:35] ---
    I've got a bone to pick with him.
[16:38] ---
    Just leave him to me.
[16:47] ---
    Are you also 80?
[16:49] ---
    No, obviously!
[16:51] ---
    At about that time...
[16:53] ---
    Gremlin!
[17:00] ---
    So weak...
[17:04] ---
    Stop it, Bickslow! We're your allies!
[17:07] ---
    I'm not on the side of weaklings!
[17:10] ---
    Ain't that right, babies?
[17:17] ---
    Freed!
[17:20] ---
    Alzack...
[17:22] ---
    Thanks to your runes, I've
    hurt my friends too much.
[17:26] ---
    I told myself it was to change
    Bisca back to normal...
[17:37] ---
    Guns Magic! Tornado Shot!
[17:47] ---
    He sliced through the wind magic?
[17:52] ---
    What is this? I can't breathe...
[17:54] ---
    You're using some strange
    magic other than the runes...
[18:00] ---
    Bisca...
[18:03] ---
    Anyone who uses magic inside these
    runes will be deprived of oxygen.
[18:08] ---
    All I did was use runes
    to their fullest effect.
[18:14] ---
    You think there's anyone who can beat
    me under my rules? Me, the creator?
[18:21] ---
    Battle of Fairy Tail. So, 2 are left?
[18:26] ---
    Only 2 are left?
[18:28] ---
    Why can't you get out either?
[18:30] ---
    Stop copyin' me!
[18:31] ---
    How should I know?
[18:32] ---
    Now I'm hungry, you bastard!
[18:35] ---
    I really don't know!
[18:38] ---
    Two?
[18:40] ---
    Just you two?
[18:42] ---
    And I wasn't even counted?
[18:46] ---
    I have no more wizards left to fight.
[18:49] ---
    I guess that's it...
[18:50] ---
    Oh, well. Guess I better revive Erza.
[18:53] ---
    What?
[18:55] ---
    And I thought I could finally show up Erza...
[18:58] ---
    Hold it!
[19:00] ---
    What are you gonna do?
[19:02] ---
    Won't she melt if I heat her?
[19:04] ---
    You know, the stone shell...
[19:05] ---
    Don't!
[19:07] ---
    Erza and the others have
    turned to stone completely!
[19:11] ---
    We won't know 'till we try, right?
[19:13] ---
    Stop it! You want to kill Erza?
[19:16] ---
    Broil her nice and good...
[19:17] ---
    Are you going to rub her with flames?
[19:19] ---
    Hey buddy, not so frisky.
[19:24] ---
    Shoot, she broke!
[19:26] ---
    Glue, glue! Happy, get the glue!
[19:28] ---
    Aye, sir!
[19:29] ---
    You idiot! You think that'll fix her up?
[19:31] ---
    Use your flames on my iron, and
    we'll weld her back together!
[19:35] ---
    Fools!
[19:38] ---
    I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
[19:40] ---
    I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
[19:46] ---
    It's hot...
[19:49] ---
    Was it you, Natsu?
[19:51] ---
    What were you trying to do?
[19:53] ---
    Erza's back!
[19:56] ---
    Thank goodness.
[19:57] ---
    But, how?
[19:59] ---
    I don't really know.
[20:01] ---
    Perhaps it's because of my right eye.
[20:07] ---
    I see! The artificial eye must have
    lowered the effect of the magic.
[20:13] ---
    Erza, do you know what's going on?
[20:15] ---
    Yes. Even though I was turned
    to stone, I could hear you.
[20:20] ---
    Go! It's time for a counter attack!
[20:23] ---
    3 remaining.
[20:26] ---
    With me restored, the number
    remaining changed appropriately.
[20:30] ---
    How elaborate.
[20:32] ---
    Those three are Natsu,
    Gajeel, and Erza, right?
[20:36] ---
    4 remaining?
[20:39] ---
    It increased?
[20:40] ---
    Who?
[20:42] ---
    Everyone is still stone... Then who?
[20:47] ---
    There's one more out there,
    remember? Outside of the city.
[20:52] ---
    You don't mean... Him?
[20:54] ---
    No way!
[20:55] ---
    Does this mean he's back?
[20:57] ---
    Looks like the real war is about to
    begin. This is getting interesting.
[21:02] ---
    Who are you talking about?
[21:06] ---
    Another possible candidate for
    the strongest in Fairy Tail...
[21:11] ---
    Mystogan!
[21:14] ---
    Erza's restored and
    Mystogan joins the fray...
[21:18] ---
    Including me, that's the
    top three in Fairy Tail.
[21:23] ---
    Can't be a festival without the best, right?
[21:26] ---
    Then!
[21:27] ---
    You showed up earlier!
[21:29] ---
    That was a fake...
[21:34] ---
    What's up with the outfit, Erza-chan!
[21:36] ---
    Anyway, a bunch of young
    folks from your place
[21:39] ---
    have been fighting around the
    city and causing trouble.
[21:42] ---
    I apologize. It's part of the
    preparations for the grand parade.
[21:45] ---
    That's some strange preparations all right.
[21:48] ---
    Please look forward to it.
[21:49] ---
    Of course!
[21:51] ---
    Try not to fight so much though, 'kay?
[22:00] ---
    How did you return from
    a statue back to normal?
[22:05] ---
    Well, fine by me. It just means I
    get to have fun tormenting you more!
[22:09] ---
    Evergreen!
[22:10] ---
    You really make me angry. Why are
    you the Fairy Queen, Titania?
[22:16] ---
    I am the number one fairy!
[22:25] [SONG] ---
    That time we laughed, saying "we're both like each other,"
[22:35] [SONG] ---
    we even kindly overlooked the little lies.
[22:44] [SONG] ---
    If we lose a place to go back to together, I don't care.
[22:50] [SONG] ---
    Because I'll protect that smile.
[22:59] [SONG] ---
    The meetings and partings numerous as the stars in the sky...
[23:03] [SONG] ---
    All the things I don't want to lose...
[23:05] [SONG] ---
    Right now I feel like I don't need any of them.
[23:10] [SONG] ---
    I just want to see you by my side,
[23:15] [SONG] ---
    all my happiness and sadness.
[23:21] [SONG] ---
    Let's start from here.
[23:23] [SONG] ---
    Let's start our tomorrow.
[23:26] [SONG] ---
    Let's do it like we've just been reborn.
[23:30] [SONG] ---
    Like flowers blown in a summer wind,
[23:36] [SONG] ---
    let us bloom brightly in this instant.
[23:56] ---
    Natsu, if you keep baring your stomach,
    your belly button will get stolen!
[23:59] ---
    Huh? You can steal belly buttons?
[24:02] ---
    But Lucy said so!
[24:03] ---
    If you stick out your stomach
    when lightning strikes,
[24:06] ---
    the god of lightning will
    take your belly button away!
[24:09] ---
    But Happy, you don't have a belly button.
[24:13] ---
    Next time: Thunder Palace!
[24:16] ---
    Now that you mention it, yeah.
[24:18] ---
    Only rumbling I'm scared
    of is Gramps' grumbling.
[24:22] ---
    Good one. Give him a point.
[24:24] ---
