    Previously on Fairy Tail:
[00:02] ---
    Hey, Natsu... Our guild's
    gained a lot of members.
[00:06] ---
    There's Lucy... And then
    Gajeel and Juvia, right?
[00:09] ---
    And now Wendy and Carla!
[00:11] ---
    Maybe I'm one of those
    "bringers of good luck"?
[00:14] ---
    You mean like a Lucky Cat?
[00:16] ---
    Or a jinx?!
[00:18] ---
    Now look here!
[01:52] ---
    There isn't any one that really jumps out...
[01:55] ---
    Welcome back.
[01:56] ---
    Already searching for your next job?
[01:59] ---
    You've pretty much gotten
    used to the work here, Wendy.
[02:03] ---
    You say that, but she's only taken
    simple jobs located here in the city!
[02:09] ---
    Hey, Carla!
[02:11] ---
    I think that doing a bunch of small
    jobs to gain experience is important.
[02:16] ---
    But shouldn't you try doin'
    a big job pretty soon?
[02:21] ---
    Yeah. Like a request from a distant town.
[02:24] ---
    I want to be able to do big jobs
    soon, and be of help to everyone!
[02:33] ---
    Wendy's First Big Job!
[02:38] ---
    Be of help to everyone, eh?
[02:40] ---
    Good luck!
[02:42] ---
    Seeing her so honest and brave hearted...
    Can't help but cheer her on.
[02:46] ---
    I will do my best!
[02:47] ---
    You should learn from her example, Lucy.
[02:50] ---
    I'm honest and brave hearted too, you know!
[02:53] ---
    Huh? Like, how?
[02:55] ---
    I'm totally honest and brave!
[02:57] ---
    My entire body is concentrated
    honesty and bravery!
[03:00] ---
    Honest?
[03:01] ---
    Brave?
[03:04] ---
    Why, you...
[03:06] ---
    But I bet that the ones out
    aways will be surprised
[03:09] ---
    there's such a little girl
    here when they get back.
[03:13] ---
    No kidding... Like Gildarts.
[03:16] ---
    Gildarts, huh?
[03:18] ---
    Haven't heard a peep about him, as usual.
[03:21] ---
    How many years has it been
    since he went on that job?
[03:24] ---
    Three years... I think?
[03:27] ---
    There's no need to worry.
[03:28] ---
    This isn't someone like us we're talking
    about... It's Gildarts, you know?
[03:32] ---
    Yeah, definitely. He's
    in a league of his own.
[03:37] ---
    Now that you mention it, I
    have a perfect job for you.
[03:41] ---
    It says they're searching for a
    wizard that can heal the spirit...
[03:45] ---
    The reward is only so-so, but
    don't you think it's perfect?
[03:49] ---
    Let's see here... The town of Onibus?
[03:52] ---
    What kind of request is it?
[03:54] ---
    Um...
[03:55] ---
    "Thank you very much"?
[03:58] ---
    So that's where this is going?
[04:01] ---
    I remember! It's all coming back to me now!
[04:05] ---
    The play's actors have all run away, and the
    performances have been a series of failures...
[04:10] ---
    My spirit and body are completely
    worn out. Please make me feel better!
[04:14] ---
    Thank you very much.
[04:16] ---
    Rabian.
[04:18] ---
    Rabian? Who's that again?
[04:20] ---
    He's the head of that
    Scheherazade drama troupe!
[04:22] ---
    Remember the play we put on before?
[04:27] ---
    Frederick and Yanderica!
[04:29] ---
    Wendy... I don't mean this in
    a bad way, but don't do it.
[04:32] ---
    He works you to the bone!
[04:36] ---
    It was low pay, and serious labor!
    Plus, we couldn't even go home!
[04:43] ---
    I'm also against it. You don't
    have to do that kind of job...
[04:47] ---
    Plus, I have a bad feeling about this.
[04:49] ---
    Your intuition is usually right,
    Carla, but if I can be of help...
[04:55] ---
    You're good-natured to a fault!
[04:57] ---
    Anyway, you can't handle going to a town you've
    never been to and taking on a big job like this.
[05:03] ---
    That's not true! I'm going to
    answer this request, you'll see!
[05:07] ---
    Fine then, suit yourself.
[05:10] ---
    I'm not coming with you.
[05:12] ---
    Hey, hold it. Why are you two fighting?
[05:16] ---
    Do you really need to be so
    prickly all the time, Carla?
[05:24] ---
    I will take on this job!
[05:28] ---
    Wait a minute. You're not planning
    on going alone, are you?
[05:31] ---
    Yes! It'll be more good experience.
[05:35] ---
    Hold up there!
[05:36] ---
    Wendy, you've only just gotten
    used to how we do things here.
[05:41] ---
    I can't let you go on some
    far-off request alone!
[05:50] ---
    Who's been there before?
[05:52] ---
    Let me see... Happy!
[05:54] ---
    Me?
[05:59] ---
    And... Freed!
[06:00] ---
    You look like you're free. Go with her.
[06:03] ---
    If that is your order, Master...
[06:07] ---
    Why Freed?!
[06:14] ---
    Okay, I'm heading out now!
[06:21] ---
    Be careful, seriously.
[06:23] ---
    Freed, make sure to protect Wendy, got it?
[06:27] ---
    You needn't worry. Leave everything to me.
[06:31] ---
    Don't do anything unless needed.
[06:34] ---
    This is for Wendy's education, after all.
[06:36] ---
    Aye, sir...
[06:47] ---
    Will she really be okay?
[06:49] ---
    Since Freed's with her, there shouldn't
    be anything to worry about, but...
[06:54] ---
    But he's oddly inflexible about things...
    He does things his own way, you know?
[07:03] ---
    The train to Onibus is not
    running due to a breakdown!
[07:09] ---
    Let me repeat: The train
    to Onibus is not running!
[07:13] ---
    Looks like you get a challenge
    right off the bat.
[07:15] ---
    What'll you do, Wendy?
[07:17] ---
    I can fly, see... How about I fly you there?
[07:23] ---
    No... I want to do this job
    as much as I can myself.
[07:29] ---
    So... I'm thinking about walking to Onibus!
[07:34] ---
    That's gonna take a really long time!
[07:37] ---
    Freed, stop her!
[07:39] ---
    It is as you say.
[07:41] ---
    See what Freed said?
[07:44] ---
    I will also walk.
[07:48] ---
    I will respect Wendy's wishes for this job.
[07:52] ---
    It is what the Master said,
    and therefore a rule.
[07:56] ---
    I must obey the rules.
[07:58] ---
    Thank you very much, Freed-san!
[08:01] ---
    He's so thick-headed!
[08:07] ---
    We're really gonna walk this far?
[08:10] ---
    Speaking more precisely, you will
    not be walking, but flying...
[08:16] ---
    It doesn't matter much one way or the other!
[08:18] ---
    Words should be used correctly.
[08:21] ---
    For a rune-user like myself, I know
    well the importance of proper language.
[08:25] ---
    Yeah, that's great and all, but...
[08:28] ---
    Let's go. If we don't
    hurry, the sun will set.
[08:36] ---
    What?! There's another request
    from that drama troupe?
[08:40] ---
    Yeah... I wanted to go with her,
    but the master stopped me...
[08:53] ---
    Why are you doing vocal exercises?
[08:55] ---
    Always be prepared, I say.
[08:58] ---
    Prepared for what?
[09:00] ---
    I understand what the master is saying... But I
    can't help but worry about just the three of them.
[09:06] ---
    I will go after them!
[09:07] ---
    Didn't take her long to get ready...
[09:09] ---
    And wait, isn't that even
    more luggage than usual?
[09:13] ---
    Of course!
[09:15] ---
    You brought it with you?
[09:17] ---
    I took it instead of my reward.
[09:20] ---
    During the tough times, or the sad times,
[09:22] ---
    when I look at this wardrobe and these
    props, I feel better for some reason.
[09:27] ---
    Sometimes I put on the costumes, and
    put on the play again, all by myself!
[09:32] ---
    You were really that into it?
[09:34] ---
    And I think you're getting
    close to the cliff there...
[09:38] ---
    Oh, no! I heard that the train
    to Onibus isn't running!
[09:44] ---
    I knew it! We should have gone with her.
[09:47] ---
    Lucy!
[09:48] ---
    Right! What about you, Carla?
[09:51] ---
    What a pain she is.
[09:54] ---
    She told me I didn't have to come,
    so I should just let her be!
[09:59] ---
    I mean, why did she take that
    job in Onibus to begin with?
[10:03] ---
    It's not like there's any
    benefit to going far off.
[10:06] ---
    Honestly, this is such a waste of time.
[10:08] ---
    Total waste of effort!
[10:10] ---
    This isn't just inefficient, it's ludicrous!
[10:14] ---
    ...she says, while coming with us.
[10:17] ---
    Knowing Wendy, she's probably not using the
    he-cat or Freed's powers, but walking there.
[10:23] ---
    This is going to be a long trip.
[10:26] ---
    I'm more worried about us three than them...
[10:30] ---
    I'm sorry for bringing you into this.
[10:33] ---
    This is for a companion, so don't worry.
[10:36] ---
    Hey, let's rest a little, okay?
[10:39] ---
    But it feels like it'll rain, so let's hurry.
[10:42] ---
    I can sense the air currents.
[10:45] ---
    No way... With it this sunny out?
[10:50] ---
    What's wrong with this weather?
[10:52] ---
    We have to find shelter from the rain!
[10:55] ---
    With my power, it would be a
    simple task to deflect the rain.
[10:59] ---
    All I would have to do is cast
    runes where rain couldn't fall.
[11:03] ---
    But the rule this time is to avoid
    helping Wendy unless forced to.
[11:08] ---
    But then again, if I let Wendy catch a cold,
    what would be the point of me coming at all?
[11:14] ---
    What... What should I do?!
[11:20] ---
    Tell me, Laxus!
[11:23] ---
    If you were here, what would you do?!
[11:27] ---
    Answer me, Laxus!!!
[11:31] ---
    Freed-san!
[11:33] ---
    Over here!
[11:37] ---
    Thank goodness.
[11:39] ---
    I see that staying my hand
    was the correct decision.
[11:42] ---
    What are you muttering about?
[11:45] ---
    It is better that you not know.
[11:49] ---
    I wonder what goes on inside Freed's head?
[11:56] ---
    Why do I have to be stuck
    in this cramped space?
[12:00] ---
    ...she says.
[12:02] ---
    We don't have any other place to
    get out of the rain, that's why!
[12:06] ---
    ...she says.
[12:08] ---
    Ah... I'm worried about the
    costumes and props getting wet...
[12:12] ---
    ...she says.
[12:15] ---
    What?! Lucy and Erza went after them?
[12:18] ---
    That's right.
[12:20] ---
    They couldn't stand it after all.
[12:22] ---
    And what were you doing?
[12:25] ---
    Sleeping.
[12:26] ---
    Righto! I get the picture,
    and I can't stand it either!
[12:32] ---
    Natsu!
[12:33] ---
    Does he know that the train isn't running?
[12:39] ---
    I don't want to ride it!
[12:41] ---
    But if I don't, I can't get to Onibus...
[12:45] ---
    But I don't wanna ride it!
[12:48] ---
    Make up your mind already!
[12:51] ---
    We can't depart with you like this!
[12:54] ---
    I'll ride! But please, run so
    that it doesn't sway at all!
[12:58] ---
    That's impossible!
[13:03] ---
    Attention, passengers.
[13:05] ---
    Due to a railway accident, this train
    will be returning before reaching Onibus.
[13:11] ---
    This train will not stop at Onibus.
[13:15] ---
    It is running between Magnolia
    and prior to Onibus.
[13:27] ---
    I'm sure glad the rain let up.
[13:30] ---
    But it's getting dark.
[13:32] ---
    Looks like we're going to
    have to camp out tonight.
[13:35] ---
    We can sleep in that cave,
[13:38] ---
    but the problem is food.
[13:41] ---
    You could at least help us gather food.
[13:43] ---
    Otherwise, we'll be so hungry we'll faint!
[13:46] ---
    Worry not.
[13:47] ---
    I am a man who knows what
    should, and shouldn't, be done.
[13:53] ---
    Everything he says is stiff, stiff, stiff...
[13:55] ---
    I have an idea of what we may do for
    food. I will make preparations shortly.
[14:00] ---
    Really?
[14:01] ---
    That's a member of the Raijinshuu for you!
[14:03] ---
    You can count on them when times get tough!
[14:06] ---
    Yeah!
[14:08] ---
    When you enter these runes...
[14:12] ---
    ...Winged Fish will fall!
[14:14] ---
    Why winged fish?!
[14:16] ---
    This is near the winged
    fish's migration route.
[14:19] ---
    Now is the season where flocks
    of winged fish come to lay eggs.
[14:24] ---
    Can you eat these?
[14:28] ---
    They're really gross...
[14:30] ---
    We tried them before, and paid the price...
[14:33] ---
    Or so you thought, but you were simply naive.
[14:37] ---
    You broiled them, yes?
[14:39] ---
    There is a knack to cooking winged fish.
[14:48] ---
    Are you good at cooking, Freed-san?
[14:54] ---
    I wouldn't go that far, but I have cooked on
    occasion while working with Laxus and the Raijinshuu.
[15:04] ---
    Looks delicious!
[15:06] ---
    The taste will live up to the presentation.
[15:08] ---
    Now, eat your fill.
[15:11] ---
    Let's eat!
[15:21] ---
    Yeah, it wasn't a problem
    with how we cook them...
[15:24] ---
    I'm pretty sure I saw some
    nuts and berries over there...
[15:27] ---
    Let's eat those.
[15:29] ---
    Aye...
[15:31] ---
    No one likes a picky eater.
[15:34] ---
    A wizard's body is their asset, after all.
[15:43] ---
    Wasn't there anything else to eat?
[15:47] ---
    If there was, we'd be eating it...
[15:50] ---
    See? This is why I didn't want to come!
[15:56] ---
    The train between Onibus and
    Magnolia is now arriving.
[16:02] ---
    This train will be departing in
    the direction of Onibus shortly!
[16:07] ---
    Sir, we're going to depart again.
[16:11] ---
    How many times have you gone
    back and forth since yesterday?
[16:19] ---
    First the mountains, and now a desert?
[16:23] ---
    Freed-san, you don't mind the heat?
[16:26] ---
    I bet he's secretly casting
    some magic to keep cool...
[16:29] ---
    I could never think of making things easier
    for myself and ignoring my companions.
[16:34] ---
    It's simply a matter of
    controlling one's thoughts.
[16:38] ---
    It's no use...
[16:40] ---
    Happy!
[16:42] ---
    Wait a moment... I'll make you feel better!
[16:45] ---
    Even though using magic will
    lower her own energy...
[16:49] ---
    And yet, she doesn't mind! How
    incredibly kind this girl is!
[16:55] ---
    You needn't use your magic.
    I will handle this.
[17:00] ---
    What will you do?
[17:07] ---
    First, I lay him down like this.
[17:11] ---
    Next, I write the spell.
[17:16] ---
    Anyone inside these runes
    cannot feel the heat!
[17:20] ---
    The rock is so hot, I'm going to burn...
[17:25] ---
    It takes some time for the runes to set.
[17:29] ---
    Although it's pointless
    once he leaves the runes...
[17:33] ---
    Aye...
[17:35] ---
    Is this really the right direction?
[17:38] ---
    I'm sure this is the right way.
[17:42] ---
    Stay back!
[17:44] ---
    Erza!
[17:48] ---
    Just a little more. Keep it up.
[17:53] ---
    A storm is coming!
[17:54] ---
    A storm? You mean a sandstorm?
[17:57] ---
    This area is famous for
    its cursed sandstorms!
[18:01] ---
    We have to hide somewhere!
[18:04] ---
    There is nowhere to hide in this desert.
[18:06] ---
    We run!
[18:08] ---
    It's no use... I can't get out!
[18:11] ---
    Can't you do anything?
[18:13] ---
    That's it!
[18:16] ---
    Time for punishment, Princess?
[18:18] ---
    Not that! Save Erza!
[18:21] ---
    As you wish.
[18:27] ---
    It is no use. She is too heavy.
    I cannot move her at all.
[18:30] ---
    How rude!
[18:31] ---
    Oh, no... The power of
    my Spirits isn't enough?
[18:35] ---
    Lucy-san!
[18:36] ---
    Huh? Carla, too?
[18:40] ---
    We were worried, so we came after you.
[18:43] ---
    Looks like those three are fine...
[18:45] ---
    Erza, what's wrong?
[18:47] ---
    Well, you see...
[18:49] ---
    This is bad. Soon this area will
    be engulfed by the sandstorm.
[18:58] ---
    Don't worry about me! Everyone, go!
[19:01] ---
    What are you saying?
[19:03] ---
    This weight is odd... It is almost
    like a giant clump of metal...
[19:08] ---
    Is Erza-san holding onto
    something very heavy, maybe?
[19:13] ---
    I'm still holding onto the play's props.
[19:16] ---
    Well, yeah, that's heavy all right!
[19:19] ---
    But without these, I can't put on the show!
[19:22] ---
    The job isn't to be temporary
    actors this time anyway!
[19:26] ---
    I'm sorry...
[19:28] ---
    Farewell, my memories...
[19:33] ---
    Farewell, my rock, my foundation!
[19:36] ---
    Just dig 'em up later!
[19:38] ---
    Punishment, yes?
[19:44] ---
    There's no time to escape any longer!
[19:46] ---
    If we get sucked up in that, it
    will be impossible to get out!
[19:51] ---
    I'll do something about it!
[19:53] ---
    Wendy...
[19:54] ---
    Roar of the Sky Dragon!
[20:07] ---
    The cursed sandstorm has vanished!
[20:10] ---
    You did it!
[20:12] ---
    Wendy... Wow!
[20:25] ---
    Hello! Thank you very much.
[20:29] ---
    Why is he so happy?
[20:32] ---
    I made up with my performers,
[20:34] ---
    so we can put on our play now!
[20:37] ---
    And there are plenty of
    customers! Thank you very much.
[20:41] ---
    No... Why did we struggle
    so hard to get here, then?
[20:46] ---
    And I went through all the
    trouble of digging them up!
[20:50] ---
    I'm beat...
[20:56] ---
    I ate too many winged fish,
    and now I don't feel well.
[21:03] ---
    No!
[21:05] ---
    I can't even stand...
[21:08] ---
    Hey!
[21:10] ---
    Natsu-san!
[21:12] ---
    Finally, they fixed the
    tracks and I made it here...
[21:16] ---
    But I spent the whole time goin' back
    and forth from Magnolia to Onibus...
[21:22] ---
    I'm...
[21:26] ---
    His attitude's totally different!
[21:28] ---
    Falling asleep here is hurting
    my business! Hey, you!
[21:33] ---
    Get rid of all of them!
[21:36] ---
    It's a big job, so I'll make
    sure to pay you a reward.
[21:49] ---

[21:53] ---
    Why not? Everyone was worried about you, but
    in the end you were more useful to them.
[22:00] ---
    You've done a good job. You should be proud.
[22:04] ---
    Really?
[22:10] ---
    Yes. I think so.
[22:14] ---
    You're right!

    gonna be the year I win!

    I'm not really suited for
    the physical stuff...
[24:22] ---
    Carla's running, too.
[24:23] ---
    I'll do it!
[24:24] ---
