06x169 - Wendy vs. Chelia

[bunniefuu]

Quit screwing around, Laxus!

Fight for real!

What's goin' on?

How is Laxus losing?

Something's not quite right...

I don't sense any energy or anything
from that Mr. Alexei person...

Oh, my!

What a lopsided fight this has become!

Does this mark the end of
Laxus' epic tales of triumph?!

Such overwhelming, incredible strength...

Yet I hardly sense any magic power at all.

Could this mean that he's still holding back?

Fairy Tail, the light grasped by these hands

We won't let our dream
paradise end as a mere dream

When we meet someday,
I want to let my future self know

The future can sometimes be
cruel and shatter like a mirror

but we just need to pick up
its pieces without losing any

Even if the freezing darkness blocks our path

we'll never lose our hope

Fairy Tail, the light grasped by these hands

is filled with the power of our bonds

We've experienced tears of sadness

so we won't give in or waver

until we've reached that day we dreamed of

This is Laxus?

He's nothing like what you
made him out to be, Happy.

He is related to his opponent's master.

Maybe he feels conflicted somehow.

This isn't like you, Laxus!

A specialized anti-Fairy Tail guild?

That's right.

Everyone in our guild wields
a different form of magic

that Fairy Tail members
have difficulty dealing with.

And we're the four most elite of them.

Do you seriously intend to battle us?

We're fully aware of your weaknesses.

Do you want us to unleash the power
that our guild has stored up

over the last seven years?

The old geezer already has you all figured out.

Ivan... Laxus...

Wendy vs. Shelia.

He's investigated us?

That's what I said.

Your guild's numbers,
location, operating funds,

and activities over the past seven years...

He knows it all.

What?!

It must've been Gajeel!
He plotted against us!

He always seemed like a despicable creep.
I guess this proves it.

He was a double agent, then?!

He doesn't really seem clever enough,
but apparently we were wrong.

What the hell? Why is he having a hard time?

Don't tell me Laxus has a cold or--

Damn. Are those guys trash-talkin'
about me or somethin'?

A specialized, anti-Fairy Tail guild?

I already had info on the wizards
in my idiot son's guild,

but I still lacked accurate
data on a handful of them.

That Alexei fellow in particular.

I had no idea who he was
or that he even existed.

Doesn't it seem weird, though?

If he knows our secret,
he sure isn't acting like it.

The geezer knows. He's just holding back.

Hey, old geezer.

Are we really just gonna ignore him?

My dad said he has info that'll spell
trouble for Fairy Tail, remember?

It's also been seven years since then.

Even so...

There are no signs that the
information has been leaked

during these past seven years.

You can't say that for sure, though.

No, I'm certain of it.

He's fully aware how dangerous it would be

to share that information with anyone else.

What is this "information," anyways?

You needn't know.

Every guild has things
that are better left alone.

I'm told Ivan hasn't stirred up any
trouble or harmed any of our members

during these past seven years.

As long as he remains quiet, I don't
intend to make any trouble, either.

The old geezer must've still had faith in you

somewhere in his heart.

Because you're his son.

Silence!

I've lived in the shadows for this day!

All so I can obtain the Lumen Histoire!

I didn't try anything the past seven years?

Of course I didn't!

Because I knew your guild's leftovers
wouldn't have any info about it!

Inside the guild! Magnolia! Tenrou Island!

I checked every place connected to your guild!

But I still never found it!

Where is the Lumen Histoire?! Where is it?!

Tell me, Laxus!

You're my son, aren't you?!

I cannot let anyone--not even
family--remain in our guild

if they continue to endanger
fellow members' lives.

That is how our predecessors
preserved our guild.

That is how Fairy Tail works.

Everyone in our guild is family!
Our guild is our home!

Oh-ho. I wondered why you
were standing there so passively.

Testing my magic power, were you?

I see you still haven't changed.

Or is it that you can't harm your father?

Oh, what a kind soul you are,
my sweet little Laxy.

Laxus!

Obra! Do it! Extinguish his magic power!

It's time to unleash the power of
our specialized anti-Fairy Tail guild!

Are you the one who went
after Wendy and Charle?!

Red Hair!

Needle Blast!

This one's for Gray!

Got you!

This one's for Lucy!

Impossible!

Sand Fake!

You...

Dunno who you are!

M-My squad of elites!

Deadbeat dad.

I dunno what your goal is,

but now it's payback time
for thrashing my guildmates.

W-Wait! I'm your father, you know!

We're family! You would
harm your dear old dad?!

Fairy Tail is my family!

You ungrateful excuse for a son!

Begone!

I'll destroy anyone...

...who threatens my family!

Wh-What in the world...?!

Laxus has a twin brother?!

No, you idiot. Laxus vanished
and another took his place.

No, this was actually...

Ivan!

And all the others...

Does that mean...

Those are projections?!

We've been had!

But, what does this mean?

What happened?!

This face!

It's their guild master, 'kin!

Alexei was actually Master Ivan, 'kin!

So that battle between Laxus
and Alexei was just an illusion?!

Laxus remains standing! The match is over!

Five of their members att*cked
him without our knowing,

and their master participated in the tournament.

This is a flagrant violation of the rules.

He wiped out the entire
Raven Tail team all by himself?!

First Erza, then Cana, now this?!

Man, Fairy Tail's a bunch of monsters!

Whatever the case, the winner
is Fairy Tail B's Laxus Dreyar!

Yay! Hooray!

Well, looks like we suddenly owe him one now...

Gah! He b*at 'em all?!

That glory-hog!

I just hope that Flare girl
doesn't get mistreated again...

You really are kindhearted.

You and your dirty tricks...

Ivan...

Laxus...

I lose this time.

But... know this.

The Lumen Histoire is Fairy Tail's dark side.

Someday, you will learn...

...what Fairy Tail really is.

You're coming with us, too!

Don't touch me!

Hey! Come quietly!

Wh-What's with this guy?!

Stand up straight!

After some deliberation, Raven Tail
has been officially disqualified

and banned from the tournament for three years!

Naturally.

See you again...

...Fairy Tail.

Now, then!

Let's put that disappointing battle behind us...

...and move on to Match 4,
the last fight of the day, 'kin!

Fairy Tail A's Wendy Marvel!

I've changed outfits!

Good luck!

Versus...!

Lamia Scale's Shelia Blendi!

I'm gonna do my best!

Wendy...

They still seem to be
unaware of Shelia's strength.

I can already imagine Gray's look of surprise.

That was someone else.

Laxus avenged my sock for me!

Oops. My mistake.

Go give it your all.

Right!

Lose and I'll spin you! Understand?!

All right! Competitors,
enter the field of battle, 'kin!

U-Umm, are you all right?!

I-It's nice to meet you!

Mm! Same to you!

I'm not so sure about this...

Her magic power and fighting spirit
seem to be at full capacity to me.

I'm sure Wendy will be just fine!

It's incredible.

Even from here I can tell that she's
progressed by leaps and bounds

compared to seven years ago.

Still...

That Shelia girl's magic power...

We have a real adorable match on our hands!

I'm rooting for both of you gals! Woot!

Woot?

You're a weird one.

Ur... This magic power!

Yes...

Zeref?

Jellal! You sensed it, right?!

It came from the coliseum...

Wait on standby, you two!

Do nothing!

Understood!

Be extra cautious!

This is the final match of Day 3!

Begin!

Good luck, Wendy!

Witness Shelia's skill and be awed, Gray.

Don't underestimate Wendy, Lyon.

Such a cute matchup! I'm in heaven!

Was there always a girl like her in Fairy Tail?

Yes. I only know her in passing,
but she's an exceptionally brave wizard.

I went through all that training.
I need to do my very best!

Get ready!

Mm!

--Arms! Vernier! Enchant!
--Oh!

Sky Dragon... Wing att*ck!

She dodged it?!

O northern wind, become the breath
of a god and race across the land!

Sky God Boreas!

Wendy!

Black wind?!

She's...

Wow! You can actually dodge it!

In that case...!

Wind, o, wind!

Tear the land and rouse the sky!

Sky God Dance!

I'm just getting started!

Sky Dragon Talon!

Sky Dragon...

Sky God...

No way! That girl...!

The same magic as Wendy?!

Lost Magic!

Sky God Slayer magic...

...Roar!

...Howl!

--You gotta be kidding me...
--Awesome!

Hey, now...!

Dear me!

Knock it off, hag!

I'm gonna have nightmares!

You're...

...a Sky God Slayer.

God Slayer...

God-k*lling magic?!

You mean he wasn't the only one?!

Someone you know?

That Grimoire guy...
Zapgrow, I think his name was.

Zancrow, wasn't it?

He used God Slayer magic?

God Slayer?

Nah, he was no big deal at all!

Whoever her opponent may be,
Wendy must face her alone now.

This is where Wendy's real fight begins.

I wasn't expecting this...

I heard from Lyon that a girl in
Fairy Tail uses the same magic as me.

Did I go a little overboard?

I'm sorry. It didn't hurt, did it?

I'm fine. This is a battle, after all...

Since we're here and all,
let's have more fun! Okay?

I don't really understand
how fighting can be fun...

...but I'll do my best for my guild!

Mm! That sounds good to me!

I'll fight hard for my guild and love, too!

Wow! Contrary to their cute looks,
they're both incredible wizards!

Uhh, your wig...

Oh, my!

Both are wind magic wielders,
but is Shelly-welly one step above?!

Shelly... welly?

Technically, it's sky magic.

All the others...

All the others have struggled
to bring us this far...

Plus, Mr. Elfman left the rest to me!

I don't like fighting...

...but when I do have to fight for our guild...

...I fight with everything I got, too!

Oh! You do eat air!

In that case...

...so will I!

My word...

Shelia, eating air in the middle of a battle?

She's deemed her opponent
that formidable, then?

Take this seriously, or you'll lose a sock!

Don't get ticked off. And socks
got nothing to do with this.

What makes Shelia really great is yet to come.

Wh-What exactly are Wendy-wend
and Shelly-welly doing?!

Maybe it's my imagination, but I feel
like the oxygen is starting to thin.

Dragon Slayer Secret Art!

She's mastered one of them already?!

--Here it comes!
--Do it!

Wendy's using a secret technique?!

--It's really strong!
--This win's in the bag.

What is this? A wind barrier?!

We're trapped inside!

Shattering Light: Sky Drill!

Shelia!

--All right!
--Hooray!

I haven't mastered the Milky Way yet...

For now, this is my full strength...

My full magic power...

Wh-Whoa...

Well done, Wendy...

Was that a little excessive?

Still, this means...

Shelia is down!

The winner is Fairy Tail A's...

Sorry! Please wait!

I'm still just getting started!

You're really amazing, Wendy!

Huh?

M-My apologies!

Continue the match, 'kin!

How is she still...?!

Look! Her injuries are gone!

Sky God Slayer magic
allows for self-restoration...

...something Wendy can't do.

Sorry, but you basically
have no hope of winning.

This girl is incredible...

Lyon, that jerk, hiding
this trick up his sleeve...

I told her to give her all, too...

She's still not fighting seriously.

Just how strong is she?!

That's my cousin for you!

She's far stronger than you, actually!

Are you okay? Want to give up now?

Wendy...

--Pardon me.
--No probl--

Mystogan?

Jellal! Can you hear us?!

Well? Did you find out anything?

No. Nothing yet.

Shelia...

Don't tell me that little girl is
connected to Zeref in some way?

Not good!

Wendy's in grave danger!
Something has to be done!

I'm right here, even in this maze of darkness

Let's call out to each other
and keep moving forward

This path may be devoid of landmarks

but I have a friend I can count on

Your eyes shine brightly

Brighter than light itself

We're the stars, and we each hold one tightly

as we keep walking

And when we hold our hands together,
we make a constellation

Let's shine, to the ends of our future

I believe

It feels like Wendy and
Shelia's "cuteness popularity"

has increased during this match.

It does seem like it's taken a strange turn.

But I'm younger, smaller,
and cuter than both of them!

--O-Oh, but it's not a big deal.
--It is a big deal!

There are some battles I refuse to lose too!

Next Episode: Small Fists.

Battles? What exactly are you battling?

This world that only cares
about people in the spotlight!

Uh-huh... Good luck with that.
