Previously on Fairy Tail:
**[00:02] ---**
Hey Natsu, don't you think our guild
has a whole lot of special events?
**[00:06] ---**
Yeah... There's the that
big parade, the Fantasia...
**[00:09] ---**
Then there's the hanami bingo tournament...
**[00:10] ---**
And don't forget about the
Miss Fairy Tail contest!
**[00:13] ---**
Wait, did you win that, Lucy?
**[00:16] ---**
Please don't ask me that... Seriously.
**[02:04] ---**
So cool!
**[02:06] ---**
It's that time of year again!
This grand event is here!
**[02:09] ---**
Fairy Tail's traditional All-Wizards
Mandatory Participation 24 Hours Road Race!
**[02:15] ---**
And I, Jason, from the Weekly Sorcerer,
will be doing the play-by-play!
**[02:20] ---**
I'll be giving you the cool
scoop on this hot event!
**[02:27] ---**
24-Hour Endurance Road Race!
**[02:33] ---**
Here he is!
**[02:34] ---**
The unbeatable titleholder
for this road race, Jet!
**[02:37] ---**
Rumors say he's compensating for
being mostly useless on quests!
**[02:42] ---**
Hey!
**[02:42] ---**
Just rumors, man!
**[02:44] ---**
Damn that Jet... He thinks this year's
gonna be a walk in the park again.
**[02:48] ---**
Oh yeah? I wouldn't be so sure of that.
**[02:51] ---**
Victory is mine!
**[02:53] ---**
Nobody who says "victory is
mine" ever actually wins.
**[02:57] ---**
I gots me a super-secret weapon.
**[02:59] ---**
A secret weapon? You're such a little kid.
**[03:07] ---**
All right, let's do this!
**[03:09] ---**
You're drinking? Right
before we start the run?
**[03:12] ---**
I can't run without fuel, right?
**[03:14] ---**
I figured you'd say
something like that, Cana.
**[03:16] ---**
Everyone's really revved up, though.
**[03:18] ---**
No one wants to face the
punishment, after all.
**[03:21] ---**
Last year was horrible...
**[03:25] ---**
What punishment?
**[03:26] ---**
Quiet, everyone!
**[03:28] ---**
All members of Fairy Tail!
**[03:31] ---**
A wizard is one with both
strength of mind and body!
**[03:35] ---**
I wish for you to utilize those powers
to the utmost in today's competition!
**[03:39] ---**
Do we really need smarts for this?
**[03:41] ---**
Seems pretty much just
physical endurance to me.
**[03:44] ---**
The rules are simple!
**[03:46] ---**
You will run as fast as you
can from the start line,
**[03:48] ---**
then here along the appointed
course, heading for Mt. Ivor!
**[03:52] ---**
This year, I have left Wyvern
scales at the top of Mt. Ivor!
**[03:56] ---**
You will take one of those scales,
and return here within 24 hours!
**[04:02] ---**
I won't accept any dropouts.
**[04:04] ---**
If you are a Fairy Tail Wizard,
then you will run the distance,
**[04:07] ---**
all the way to your next job tomorrow!
**[04:10] ---**
Furthermore, I am imposing a new regulation
this year at the urging of many...
**[04:16] ---**
Flying magic is forbidden!
**[04:20] ---**
Other than that, any type
of magic is allowed!
**[04:23] ---**
He's one crafty old fox...
**[04:25] ---**
Every year he just goes overboard...
**[04:28] ---**
And of course, the person who comes in last
**[04:31] ---**
will face a punishment of which there
is nothing scarier on the planet!
**[04:37] ---**
Isn't this all because the master looks
forward to giving out the punishment?
**[04:41] ---**
Last year was just awful...
**[04:43] ---**
It's only one person, though.
**[04:45] ---**
As long as you don't come
in last, what's the problem?
**[04:48] ---**
That is a quite logical way of thinking.
**[04:51] ---**
But it is far too negative!
**[04:53] ---**
Oh, yeah?
**[04:55] ---**
I compete only to win.
**[04:59] ---**
This is a special outfit that
reduces my muscle fatigue,
**[05:02] ---**
allowing me to run continuously
for a long time.
**[05:05] ---**
She's really going for the win...
**[05:08] ---**
Happy. Today only, we're rivals.
**[05:11] ---**
I ain't gonna go easy on you.
**[05:13] ---**
I know!
**[05:14] ---**
But...
**[05:15] ---**
This new rule sucks big time.
**[05:18] ---**
D-Dark!
**[05:19] ---**
Now... It's finally time for the start!
**[05:22] ---**
Everyone, to the start line!
**[05:27] ---**
Levy, watch my start!
**[05:29] ---**
I don't have time for that!
**[05:32] ---**
He just wants to show you how cool he is.
**[05:33] ---**
You probably don't realize, Lu-chan, but I
couldn't watch him at the start if I wanted to.
**[05:43] ---**
Ready!
**[05:45] ---**
Bam!
**[05:47] ---**
Here I go!
**[05:49] ---**
High Speed!
**[05:51] ---**
Pulling away right at the
start is Jet again this year!
**[05:58] ---**
Couldn't see him, right?
**[06:00] ---**
No kidding...
**[06:06] ---**
Seriously?!
**[06:07] ---**
Check out my secret weapon!
**[06:10] ---**
It's Fists of the Fire Dragon boosters!
**[06:12] ---**
Jet, Natsu! That's totally not right!
**[06:16] ---**
Lucy-san, Levy-san, if you'll pardon us!
**[06:19] ---**
Today, everyone is our enemy.
**[06:21] ---**
You really don't have to be so polite.
**[06:24] ---**
Crap!
**[06:25] ---**
We're the last ones!
**[06:27] ---**
Now then, who'll be getting the punishment?
**[06:30] ---**
I can't wait!
**[06:40] ---**
Sorry, Happy!
**[06:41] ---**
See ya!
**[06:45] ---**
Jet's already running off by himself!
**[06:48] ---**
And behind him, Natsu!
**[06:49] ---**
The idea of using his Fists of the Fire
Dragon as boosters is totally cool!
**[06:54] ---**
Then there's Erza and Gajeel
leading a huge pack!
**[06:59] ---**
Who will it be that makes a break for it?
**[07:02] ---**
Let's hear from our expert
commentator, Mirajane!
**[07:06] ---**
Jet's so fast...
**[07:08] ---**
...we can't film him.
**[07:17] ---**
Pict Magic!
**[07:23] ---**
What a cinch!
**[07:24] ---**
Everyone, fall!
**[07:29] ---**
That's what you get for
layin' back and paintin'!
**[07:32] ---**
Ice Make Floor!
**[07:41] ---**
All's fair!
**[07:43] ---**
Gray, you bastard!
**[07:45] ---**
Beast Arm...
**[07:49] ---**
Iron Bull!
**[07:52] ---**
Gray-sama?
**[07:57] ---**
This is tough work...
**[07:59] ---**
You drink too much, Cana!
**[08:00] ---**
You look just as tired as me, Wakaba!
**[08:02] ---**
I didn't think I'd gotten this out of shape!
**[08:05] ---**
Can we even make it to the goal?
**[08:08] ---**
You guys are pitiful.
**[08:10] ---**
Learn from this, and lay off
the booze and tobacco a little.
**[08:19] ---**
What is this?
**[08:20] ---**
Runes?
**[08:21] ---**
Is it Freed?
**[08:22] ---**
He's booby-trapped the course!
**[08:24] ---**
Exactly.
**[08:26] ---**
Are you never going to let us out?
**[08:28] ---**
I know he said anything other than flying
magic is allowed, but this goes too far!
**[08:33] ---**
I never said you couldn't go free.
**[08:40] ---**
What are these?
**[08:41] ---**
"Practice Questions for the Magic
Four-Wheeler License Exam"?
**[08:45] ---**
This one's "Practice Questions for the Level
3 Four Elements Sorcerer Qualification"?
**[08:49] ---**
Freed, what's the meaning of this?
**[08:51] ---**
To escape from these runes, you must answer
all the questions, and get them all correct.
**[08:57] ---**
What?!
**[08:59] ---**
If this race purports to test both
physical and mental strength,
**[09:03] ---**
then this little side game is
entertaining as well as fitting.
**[09:07] ---**
If you feel bitter, blame yourselves
for falling into my trap.
**[09:12] ---**
Hold it, Freed!
**[09:13] ---**
Blame ourselves?
**[09:15] ---**
It was *you* who activated the runes...
**[09:18] ---**
*We* were just caught up in it!
**[09:20] ---**
We've got no choice!
**[09:21] ---**
We'll solve all the problems!
**[09:22] ---**
Do them yourself!
**[09:25] ---**
Forgive me, friends!
**[09:25] ---**
You meanies!
**[09:29] ---**
She is brave for not using magic.
**[09:33] ---**
Runes?
**[09:35] ---**
Titania!
**[09:36] ---**
Your senses are as perceptive as ever!
**[09:39] ---**
You may have noticed the
rune trap, however...
**[09:45] ---**
Breaking my running rhythm
is a serious offense.
**[09:48] ---**
Now I have to get my rhythm back...
**[09:50] ---**
Erza, let me out of here!
**[09:52] ---**
Hey!
**[09:54] ---**
After getting past his tricks,
she zings one back at him!
**[09:58] ---**
The race has gotten completely unpredictable!
**[10:01] ---**
No one wants to face the punishment.
**[10:04] ---**
Oh?
**[10:05] ---**
There's movement near the top of Mt. Ivor!
**[10:09] ---**
Could it be?
**[10:11] ---**
It's Jet!
**[10:13] ---**
The pre-race speculation was right on the
money, as Jet is the first to reach the summit!
**[10:20] ---**
He took a Wyvern scale!
**[10:22] ---**
Now all he has to do is come back!
**[10:25] ---**
Jet's speed isn't waning in the slightest!
**[10:28] ---**
Who will get there next?!
**[10:31] ---**
Ah, I'm beat...
**[10:32] ---**
I can't go on anymore. I need a little break.
**[10:35] ---**
Lu-chan, you have to keep going!
**[10:37] ---**
But my legs won't move!
**[10:39] ---**
Levy-chan, you go ahead. I'll catch up.
**[10:42] ---**
Okay.
**[10:43] ---**
I'll be going now.
**[10:46] ---**
My legs hurt...
**[10:48] ---**
Is there anything I can make use of?
**[10:50] ---**
Anyone good to rely on at a time like this...
**[10:54] ---**
Gate of the Maiden, I open thee!
**[10:56] ---**
Virgo!
**[11:00] ---**
You called, Princess?
**[11:03] ---**
Carry me up to the peak!
**[11:05] ---**
And do it on the double!
**[11:07] ---**
As you wish.
**[11:09] ---**
This'll be a breeze!
**[11:10] ---**
Full speed ahead!
**[11:12] ---**
I depart!
**[11:16] ---**
Lu-chan?
**[11:18] ---**
I'm gonna fall! I'm gonna fall!
**[11:19] ---**
Let me down, I'm scared!
**[11:25] ---**
What lovely water...
**[11:27] ---**
The fatigue is washing right away...
**[11:30] ---**
Ah, Gray-sama...
**[11:32] ---**
Sorry for earlier.
**[11:36] ---**
Juvia was also scared of this "punishment", so
she didn't help you, and instead went on ahead!
**[11:44] ---**
But Juvia is tormented by what she did!
**[11:47] ---**
Until Gray-sama comes to this place, Juvia
will rest herself in this cool water...
**[11:53] ---**
Like this...
**[12:07] ---**
Was that... Juvia-san?
**[12:09] ---**
Ah, the water-user.
**[12:11] ---**
While she was soaking in the water, she must
have changed herself to water by accident.
**[12:19] ---**
Have you seen Juvia around here?
**[12:22] ---**
Seriously?
**[12:23] ---**
Gray-sama!
**[12:29] ---**
Go, go, go!
**[12:32] ---**
Whoa there, they stopped!
**[12:37] ---**
Out of fuel?
**[12:41] ---**
Well, I was going full-power all this time.
**[12:45] ---**
Gajeel!
**[12:46] ---**
Outta my way!
**[12:53] ---**
Gajeel, you bastard!
**[12:59] ---**
Can I eat that fire?
**[13:08] ---**
It's been 12 hours since the start!
**[13:10] ---**
The moon has already
risen over the night sky!
**[13:13] ---**
Right now, the wizards are taking
Wyvern scales one after another
**[13:17] ---**
and blasting on to the return course!
**[13:30] ---**
Finally, here...
**[13:58] ---**
Oh, Happy!
**[13:59] ---**
Natsu!
**[14:06] ---**
Thanks, Natsu!
**[14:09] ---**
I'm taking off.
**[14:10] ---**
Don't slack off on the way!
**[14:12] ---**
I know!
**[14:13] ---**
Fists of the Fire Dragon!
**[14:18] ---**
The 24 Hours Endurance Road Race!
**[14:21] ---**
We're well into the second half! Cool!
**[14:24] ---**
All the wizards, with Wyvern scale in hand,
**[14:27] ---**
are racing full speed toward
the Magnolia South Gate Park!
**[14:33] ---**
Still in the lead is Jet, as always!
**[14:35] ---**
Next up is Erza, who
doesn't even look winded!
**[14:40] ---**
The next group is Gray, Lucy, and
Gajeel, who are still running strong!
**[14:44] ---**
Cool!
**[14:46] ---**
Behind them is the full pack in pursuit,
not losing focus for an instant!
**[14:51] ---**
Who will be coming in last?
**[14:53] ---**
Who will be receiving the
punishment this year?
**[14:56] ---**
You can't miss a second!
**[15:02] ---**
Bunch of slackers...
**[15:03] ---**
Let's liven things up a bit.
**[15:17] ---**
Cool!
**[15:19] ---**
The race has entered the final stage!
**[15:21] ---**
The super-high-speed Jet is so fast,
we've completely lost sight of him!
**[15:27] ---**
But!
**[15:28] ---**
Natsu and the rest are
gutsily gaining ground!
**[15:31] ---**
Cool!
**[15:34] ---**
Everyone has worked hard through the night.
**[15:37] ---**
We had better switch to our seats at South
Gate Park, and get ready to watch the finish!
**[15:46] ---**
Huh?
**[15:48] ---**
Jet?
**[15:50] ---**
Are you asleep?
**[15:51] ---**
Hey, Jet!
**[15:53] ---**
Wake up, Jet!
**[15:57] ---**
Hey, Happy.
**[15:59] ---**
Should you be sleeping now?
**[16:04] ---**
I overslept!
**[16:06] ---**
Everyone's gone ahead.
**[16:08] ---**
Thanks, Happy.
**[16:09] ---**
I gotta make up for lost time!
**[16:13] ---**
It's the last spurt toward the goal!
**[16:16] ---**
The battle for second is heating up!
**[16:18] ---**
All right! We can see Magnolia!
**[16:22] ---**
What?
**[16:23] ---**
Oh, what's this?
**[16:26] ---**
Jet?
**[16:27] ---**
What? He wasn't in the lead?
**[16:33] ---**
Why is Jet behind us?
**[16:35] ---**
Wait, then that means we're
in contention to win?!
**[16:39] ---**
Why?!
**[16:40] ---**
Jet is catching up as fast as he can!
**[16:44] ---**
So fast! Passing them in a flash!
**[16:48] ---**
I don't think so!
**[16:49] ---**
Requip!
**[16:52] ---**
A rabbit?
**[16:54] ---**
Is this your trump card for the last spurt?
**[16:59] ---**
Huh?
**[17:00] ---**
She's not catching up...
**[17:02] ---**
That's actually really slow for a rabbit.
**[17:04] ---**
She must've bought it based
on the way it looked!
**[17:05] ---**
Maybe she's more about appearances?
**[17:09] ---**
Hold it, you guys!
**[17:17] ---**
Now in Magnolia, Jet's finally neck and neck!
**[17:21] ---**
The winner has been narrowed
down to one of these 5!
**[17:24] ---**
Fists of the Fire Dragon!
**[17:25] ---**
As if!
**[17:27] ---**
Requip!
**[17:35] ---**
Natsu's fists are out of fuel!
**[17:37] ---**
Is he out of contention to win?
**[17:39] ---**
It's not over yet!
**[17:43] ---**
Yeah! Never count Natsu out!
**[17:45] ---**
He's digging deep into
top groove to close in!
**[17:48] ---**
I won't lose!
**[17:59] ---**
I won't lose!
**[18:03] ---**
Victory is mine!
**[18:15] ---**
There's a huge crash!
**[18:18] ---**
Wait, who's that cool cat coming up?
**[18:21] ---**
It's Happy!
**[18:22] ---**
Happy is here!
**[18:24] ---**
Happy?
**[18:27] ---**
Yes, the goal is right ahead!
**[18:36] ---**
All right!
**[18:37] ---**
I won!
**[18:39] ---**
Congratulations, Happy!
**[18:41] ---**
Yes! You ran well!
**[18:44] ---**
Aye!
**[18:46] ---**
Goal! Happy is the winner of this
year's 24 Hours Endurance Road Race!
**[18:52] ---**
History has been made! Nothing
will ever be the same, folks!
**[18:56] ---**
Cool! Cool! Cool!
**[19:00] ---**
I did it!
**[19:03] ---**
You've got to be kidding me.
**[19:04] ---**
He got us.
**[19:05] ---**
The cat?
**[19:09] ---**
Not a bad ending, I say.
**[19:11] ---**
He woke me up.
**[19:13] ---**
Ah well, I'll let him win this time.
**[19:19] ---**
Wendy?!
**[19:20] ---**
Carla?!
**[19:21] ---**
Whoa there!
**[19:23] ---**
Coming in second is Wendy,
and third is Carla!
**[19:26] ---**
The top three spots are occupied
by these three Fairy Tail pretties!
**[19:33] ---**
What?
**[19:34] ---**
This is...
**[19:35] ---**
No one wants to face the punishment!
**[19:42] ---**
Don't step on me!
**[19:44] ---**
What's this?!
**[19:47] ---**
A battalion of wizards all
crossed the goal at once!
**[19:51] ---**
Quick thinking Erza also crossed the goal.
**[19:55] ---**
Gray-sama, hurry!
**[19:56] ---**
Natsu!
**[19:58] ---**
Everyone, hurry!
**[19:59] ---**
Shoot!
**[20:00] ---**
Crap!
**[20:02] ---**
Easy for you to say!
**[20:04] ---**
This ain't no joke! High Speed!
**[20:07] ---**
What?
**[20:08] ---**
Jet!
**[20:10] ---**
Go-go-go-goal!
**[20:12] ---**
The 4 of you crossed at the same time!
**[20:15] ---**
What?!
**[20:17] ---**
This year was whacked out!
**[20:19] ---**
This finish was cooler than cool!
**[20:22] ---**
Coming in last was, incredibly,
Natsu, Gajeel, Gray, and Jet!
**[20:27] ---**
We know who'll get punished!
**[20:31] ---**
Are you prepared?
**[20:33] ---**
You're kidding, right, Gramps?
**[20:35] ---**
Gramps! At least let us have a tie-breaker!
**[20:38] ---**
No!
**[20:40] ---**
I won't hear any more
of your pitiful excuses!
**[20:42] ---**
For a wizard, there are no
do-overs, for jobs or otherwise!
**[20:48] ---**
Stop acting like babies
and take your punishment!
**[20:51] ---**
All four of you!
**[20:54] ---**
Fine, I got it!
**[20:56] ---**
I'll do whatever!
**[20:58] ---**
Tell us what the punishment is.
**[21:00] ---**
There! That's the spirit.
**[21:02] ---**
I will now announce this year's punishment!
**[21:05] ---**
Right here!
**[21:08] ---**
Weekly Sorcerer?
**[21:10] ---**
What about it?
**[21:11] ---**
The four of you will do a super-embarrassing
photo spread for the issue two weeks from now!
**[21:19] ---**
A super-magnificent 20 pages, together
with a one-week, all-access interview!
**[21:27] ---**
A super-embarrassing photo spread?
**[21:30] ---**
I'll go buy a display and
preservation tools, Gray-sama!
**[21:34] ---**
Don't do that!
**[21:35] ---**
Now then, everyone... Let's go right
ahead and start picking out clothes!
**[21:43] ---**
Wait!
**[21:45] ---**
Oh, hell no!
**[21:46] ---**
Wait! Cool!
**[21:48] ---**
They're running again?
**[21:50] ---**
Seems they still have plenty of stamina.
**[21:53] ---**
As expected.
**[21:54] ---**
I don't think that's what it is.
**[21:55] ---**
Gray-sama's photo spread!
**[21:58] ---**
By the way, Master...
**[22:00] ---**
I won, so do I get something nice?
**[22:04] ---**
You already did!
**[22:09] ---**
You got the joy of winning
and everyone's cheers!
**[22:12] ---**
There is no greater honor, am I right?
**[22:15] ---**
Wait, seriously?
**[22:17] ---**
That's it?
**[22:19] ---**
Seriously...?
**[22:21] ---**
Aww...
**[23:55] ---**
Gildarts has finally come back?!
**[23:58] ---**
Aye! He's been away on a quest
for who knows how many years.
**[24:02] ---**
I can't wait to meet him!
**[24:04] ---**
Yeah!
**[24:05] ---**
When he gets back, I'm
challenging him right away!
**[24:07] ---**
Even though you'll just lose?
**[24:08] ---**
I'll win this time.
**[24:10] ---**
Definitely win!
**[24:11] ---**
Have you *ever* won after saying that?
**[24:14] ---**
Next time: Gildarts.
**[24:16] ---**
Happy, prepare a party to
celebrate my first victory!
**[24:19] ---**
Aye!
**[24:20] ---**
I'll prepare for a "better
luck next time" party!
**[24:22] ---**
Were you even listening to me?!
