[HAPPY]
Whoa! Check it out!
That's the stadium from
the Grand Magic Games!
We had some crazy times there.
Why's this place look
like it got att*cked
by a pack of dragons?
Because it did, remember?
It was kind of a big deal.
They came outta
that Eclipse thing
and blew up half
the freakin' city.
[NATSU]
Huh. Oh, yeah.
Now that ya mention it,
that does sound familiar.
[HAPPY sighs]
Well, if I thought
that you gave a crap,
I'd say that it's impressive
how they've rebuilt so much
in so little time.
[NATSU]
Yeah, it is.
[NATSU] Just goes to show you
we humans always bounce back!
Aye!
[NATSU]
So, Happy.
[HAPPY]
Yeah? What's up?
[NATSU]
Where exactly are ya leadin' us?
[HAPPY] Uh, I'm not leadin'
us anywhere. You are.
That's a question you
should be askin' yourself.
[NATSU]
Huh? You're kiddin,' right?
I've been followin' you
the whole time, dude.
That's the price we pay
for walkin' side by side.
Guess so.
[BOTH]
Hm?
Wait, don't say a word.
My head's doin' that thing
where it hurts really bad
and then a thought pops out!
Be careful.
[gasps]
[HAPPY]
Listen,
we've been on this training
mission for an entire week now.
[NATSU]
Yeah?
[HAPPY] But when I think
about it real hard...
[NATSU]
Yeah?
...all we've done so far
is eat, sleep, and walk!
You haven't been
training at all!
Yeah, you're right. I really
haven't done anything.
[HAPPY] We've been trampin'
around like a couple a hobos.
It's the first time we
tried to do somethin'
by ourselves in months,
and we forgot what
we even wanted to do!
[HAPPY] I can't believe
how much we suck.
[NATSU]
Try not to think about it.
[HAPPY] Okay, the training
thing might be a bust,
but I still feel like
we should stop walkin'
in random directions.
We need to pick out
like a destination
or a goal or somethin'.
Easier said than done.
Hey! I got it!
[NATSU]
Tenrou Island, eh? Good idea!
[HAPPY] I know we spent
seven years there,
but we didn't exactly
get to see the sights.
It's holy ground and the
first Master's buried there.
We should make a pilgrimage!
Sounds awesome!
Let's get this rollin'!
Yes, lets. Although,
the better word is "rowing."
[NATSU yelps]
[NATSU]
Ugh... Happy, listen.
I need you to tie a
rope around my waist
and throw me overboard, 'kay?
Just let it drag me,
I'll be fine. Yeah...
[HAPPY]
I would if I had some.
But I bet we're
gettin' pretty close.
[HAPPY gasps]
That's it!
[NATSU]
Uh?
[HAPPY]
Won't be long now!
[laughs]
Solid ground at last!
That's what I'm talkin' about!
[HAPPY] Hurry up, Natsu.
Let's go find Mavis' grave.
Sure. So d'ya know
how to get there?
[HAPPY]
Aye!
I got directions from Cana
like a really long time ago.
You've already gotten
us lost, haven't ya?
Of course not, I'm followin'
Cana's directions perfectly!
Okay, then why don't
you say 'em back to me?
Well, my memory's
a little bit foggy,
but I do know that
she said there'd be
a whole bunch of trees and rocks
and bushes along the way.
And look around! There are!
[NATSU]
Huh.
Yup, there's definitely
a whole bunch
of that stuff around here.
[NATSU]
So yeah, I guess we're good.
[HAPPY]
Aye!
Wait a minute!
The whole friggin'
island's covered
in trees, rocks, and bushes!
She might as well have told me
it was somewhere
near a big tree.
At least that woulda
told us which way to walk.
Hey, look!
Whoa.
[HAPPY]
An old village!
[NATSU]
It's totally overgrown.
[HAPPY] Yeah. It's practically
part of the forest again.
We never would've seen
it from the ocean.
[NATSU] I didn't realize Tenrou
Island ever had a town.
[HAPPY]
Neither did I.
But I don't think we've ever
been to this side of it before.
[gasps]
[NATSU] Oh, cool.
That tree's a building.
And judgin' from the markings,
I bet is was a guild house.
Huh?
Red Lizard? Never heard of it.
Did someone used to live here?
Nah, It was prob'ly
just a barn for animals.
[NATSU]
There's a place to sit though.
[HAPPY]
Hey, check this out!
[NATSU]
That some kinda math?
[HAPPY] I guess so. Makes for
some really weird graffiti.
[HAPPY] So the people
who used to live here,
what do you figure
they were like?
[NATSU]
Hm...
I feel like there
were grown-ups,
and some had kids.
A few boys, a few girls.
They prob'ly had to work a lot,
but they also got to laugh
and play sometimes.
[HAPPY]
Well then,
that means they were
just like we are!
[NATSU, HAPPY screaming]
[HAPPY] So, I guess I
coulda caught ya, but--
[HAPPY yelps]
Wow. You're screwed.
[NATSU]
Huh? Ah!
Get off my face,
ya cranky little monsters!
Gah!
[screams]
[NATSU]
Come back here!
I'm injured! You gotta
nurse me to health!
[HAPPY]
Don't touch me, you freak!
[NATSU] You can't fly away
from me! I hatched you!
[HAPPY]
Hey. What's that?
[NATSU]
It looks like... an altar.
[HAPPY] Then this must be
Master Mavis' grave.
We really found it!
Of course we did! We're awesome.
Pretty sure we could've
been treasure hunters!
[NATSU]
Always liked you, Mavis.
I'll get way stronger
and make you proud.
[HAPPY] We're goin' on
a training mission,
so look after our friends
while we're gone, please.
Welp! We'll catch ya later, kay?
Bye!
[HAPPY] So if the first
Master was buried here,
d'ya think that means
this is where she's from?
[NATSU] No clue. We can ask
Gramps next time we see him.
You know, if we remember. Heh.
[HAPPY]
Yeah, but we're gonna forget.
[MAVIS] The story to come
takes place in a time
long before Happy and Natsu's.
A harsher time.
It's about a girl
with a silly dream,
fighting despair and anguish
with nothing but the
heart they s*ab at.
It's a tale of overcoming.
Of chasing hope.
Of friends who formed a guild.
So how'd that Bosco
job end up goin'?
Hardest part was the
boat ride, honestly.
Heard a few of those Blue Skull
wizards tried to mess with ya.
[WIZARD B]
Oh, they tried all right.
But let me tell ya,
they won't be tryin' again.
Lesson learned!
--[WIZARD A] Good work!
--[WIZARD C] Way to go!
[WIZARDS laughing]
[gasps]
And yet again, I find ya
slackin' on the job!
I'm sorry, sir!
It's just, I've already cleaned
the whole guildhall, so...
But ya haven't even touched
the sidewalk! Now have ya?
[MAVIS]
Why would I clean--?
[gasps]
[ZEESELF]
Don't talk back to me!
You've always been useless,
but these books have
got you actin' uppity.
Is this street rat seriously
hopin' to learn magic?
Never gonna happen!
She hasn't even
learned how to clean!
The floor or herself!
She smells like a barn!
[WIZARDS laughing]
One more thing, Mavis.
Those nice shoes, tell me,
who bought 'em for ya?
[MAVIS]
Well, you did, Master Zeeself.
That's correct.
But nice things really don't
suit you. Give 'em back.
Yes, sir.
It's just, these are
the only shoes I have.
What?
You better do what I say
or I'll throw your butt out
with the rest of the garbage!
[sighs]
[ZERA]
Daddy! I'm back from school!
Hey there, sweetheart!
Did you enjoy your classes?
School's stupid.
My teachers are so dumb!
Well, yeah, of course
they are compared to you!
Guess what! Daddy got
you some new shoes!
[ZERA] Eww, gross! I don't
want those nasty things!
[ZEESELF] Oh! No worries!
I'll just throw 'em away!
[ZERA] I hope these
weren't the orphan's.
I don't want her yucky
germs touching me.
[ZEESELF]
Oh, I'm sorry, darling.
[ZERA]
Just don't do it again.
[MAVIS]
I will not cry, no matter what.
'Cause if I do, I'll never
get to meet a fairy.
See, fairies don't
'sociate with crybabies.
I learned that from my parents.
They work for the
Red Lizard Guild too.
Or... they did at least.
Before they d*ed.
I don't understand why
that had to happen,
but they're still
with me, in my heart.
Master Zeeself tells me that
they owed the guild money.
He's letting me work
for him, though.
So someday, I can
pay off their debt.
I'd like to do wizard
work once I get older,
but for now, it's just a lot of
sweeping and scrubbing.
It gets pretty hard
sometimes, but still,
I try to be grateful.
[roars]
[MAVIS] The Master gives
me a place to sleep
and scraps from the restaurant.
And we aren't even related!
Plus, I get nights to myself,
so if the moon's bright enough,
I can practice the math
and reading I learned
from Mommy and Daddy.
Aw, thank you!
You're so nice to me.
[MAVIS] So I will not cry,
no matter what.
Not until I meet my fairy.
And when I do, we're
gonna fly far, far away.
[grunts]
[gasps] Is that for school?
Yeah, it is.
Zera got a late start
this morning
and forgot to take her lunch.
Go bring it to her.
I'm going to school.
It's almost lunchtime now;
you're gonna have to be quick,
so you'll have to cut through
the forest to save time.
[MAVIS]
The forest?
Uh, sir, there are
monsters in there.
[growls]
This had better be the last
time I get any lip from you!
Stop your whining and do
as you're told, right now!
What are you more scared of,
the forest or me?
I'm sorry!
And I'd better not find out that
you dawdled on your way back.
I'll be keepin'
an eye on the time,
so don't you dare screw around.
[MAVIS]
Right!
[MAVIS] A real school!
With classes! And books!
And I get to see it!
[MEN laughing]
[MAVIS] I've never actually
gone to a school before,
but I've heard all about them.
Mommy and Daddy told me
that they have people
who teach for a living.
And there're huge shelves
piled with hundreds of books!
At a school, you can find out
anything you'd like to learn.
No dawdling. Hurry up!
[MAVIS] If I get there
before lunch starts,
I might get a peek at
everyone studying.
And if I'm really lucky,
I'll get to overhear
part of a lesson!
[screams]
[groans]
[MAVIS] At least the
lunch box didn't break.
Uh...
I'm really sorry,
please don't k*ll me!
[MAVIS]
Uh-oh. That run got me lost.
The tree rings are more
spaced out on one side.
That means it got the most
sunlight as it was growing.
This part of the planet tilts
away from the sun, so...
The big rings point south!
Sometimes you learn stuff
that doesn't seem
useful at the time,
but then it comes back to you
when you need it later,
or helps you understand
something else.
So I'll read just
about anything,
but my favorite books are about
people from across the world.
[MAVIS gasps]
Wait a second, I've read
about these lizards.
It was in some kind
of nature guide.
Hey, I remember!
Get outta here!
[MAVIS screams]
[MAVIS]
Whew. Guess the guide was right.
You are not a fan
of loud noises.
Sorry 'bout that.
Hi.
The scary lizard's gone
now. You okay, buddy?
I'm on my way to visit
a school. You wanna come?
[RAT squeaks]
[MAVIS] Wow. It's even
bigger than I thought.
[gasps]
[MAVIS]
A teacher!
Maybe if we're really, really
quiet, we'll hear her talk.
[MAN A]
Looking for something?
Pardon me, sir.
Zera forgot her lunch today.
I'm just here to drop it off.
[MAN A] Ah, you mean Master
Zeeself's daughter.
That building to the
left is the library.
She should be in there
till the end of the period.
Thank you very much!
[MAVIS]
Wow! All these books!
Where would you even start?
[ZERA]
Mavis?
Why are you here?
Umm. Master Zeeself asked me
to bring you your lunchbox.
You shoulda been
here sooner, dummy.
If I'd missed my lunch because
of you, Daddy'd be mad!
It's so cute!
I've never seen
anything like it.
So what is he, a pet?
A friend. We met in
the forest earlier.
[GIRL D]
His tail looks so fluffy!
[GIRL B]
Can I touch it?
[ZERA grunts]
[thud]
I got my lunch, now go
home and do some dishes.
This isn't a place
for servant girls,
so stop pretending
that you belong.
[MAVIS]
Right.
Could I--?
[ZERA]
I said get out of here!
Get moving, or else I'm
gonna tell on you to Daddy.
All right.
[GIRL A]
Was that mean?
Not really.
She's just a smelly brat
who lives off of my daddy.
None of you actually thought
she was normal, did you?
[GIRLS]
Uh.
I mean, yeah, she did
seem a little dirty.
She wasn't even wearing shoes.
No wonder the rat liked her.
[GIRLS chuckle nervously]
Hmph!
The school, it looked
fun, didn't it?
Hope I can go to school
for real someday.
I'd get books from the library.
Ask my teachers about 'em.
I could learn just
about anything.
[grunts]
Is that your Mom? I bet she
was worried about you.
Go! I'll be fine.
[MAVIS] It was a full
moon the night before,
so I stayed up studying.
That's probably why
I fell asleep so fast.
Oh, no! What time is it?
I'm gonna be in so much trouble.
[MAVIS]
Are those signal flares?
I wonder what they mean.
Bet there's a book in
that library that says.
That rumbling, it came
from the guild house!
[PEOPLE screaming]
[MAN E] We're under att*ck!
It's Blue Skull!
[MAN B] Defend yourselves!
Defend your homes!
[MAN C] Slaughter 'em, boys!
Leave none alive!
[MAVIS]
Conflict between wizard guilds
was a fairly common
occurrence in those days.
Despite its horrible costs,
w*r was the quickest way
for a guild to gain status
and remove competition.
Let's go!
[MAVIS] The aggressor in
this fight was Blue Skull.
They and Red Lizard
were old rivals.
This att*ck put an end to that.
[BLUE SKULL WIZARD A] Looks like
this is goodbye, Zeeself.
No way!
[yells]
Zera.
Oh, no! Master Zeeself.
[ZERA grunting]
[MAVIS]
Zera!
Thanks, Mavis.
[MAVIS] Can you run? If we
stay here, they'll k*ll us.
Yeah, but--
[MAVIS]
C'mon! This way!
[ZERA]
Let go!
You can leave without me!
I don't wanna run away
from home! I like it there!
It's where Daddy is.
And the guild.
And all my friends from school
and my favorite outfits, too!
Those things aren't gone yet!
You can keep them in
your heart, like I do!
[MAVIS] Everything that you
just lost, I used to have.
And I still do.
They'll never be gone while
you remember them, okay?
But for us to remember,
we have to stay alive!
[ZERA] I've always
been so mean to you...
Why're you helping me?
[MAVIS] 'Cause you're a person.
That's all that matters!
Mavis, do you think...
...you and me could be friends?
Of course we could.
Yeah!
[thud]
What's wrong?
Hey, Zera, are you okay?
Get up.
C'mon, Zera, say something!
Zera! Zera!
Zera!
[MAVIS wails]
[MAVIS] After the way
I cried that night,
I'll probably never
meet a fairy.
The next day, I went
back to the village.
Mostly I found ash.
Blue Skull had k*lled
everyone, wizard or not.
No one who stayed there
survived. Not a soul.
In the year ,
Tenrou Island was seemingly
wiped of all human presence.
And that's how it would stay
for seven long years.
[WARROD]
So this is Tenrou Island, eh?
Nice and humid.
Remind me to come here
next winter, okay?
[PRECHT sighs]
[PRECHT] Do try to take
this task seriously.
Will you, Warrod?
[WARROD] Come on, you know
I take everything seriously!
Land ho!
[WARROD]
Why did we bring this guy?
[YURI]
This is gonna be awesome!
My treasure senses
are tinglin' all over!
Come on, you two!
Let's nab that Tenrou Orb!
[MAVIS]
On this day in ,
destiny set countless
things in motion.
One of those things
was this story.
The story of Fairy
Tail's origin.
[MAVIS] After the att*ck
on Tenrou Island,
Zera and I were left with
nothing but books and animals
to keep us company.
Still, we always
made the best of it.
Seven years passed before
our isolation was interrupted
by a group of treasure hunters.
I couldn't have guessed
what the results
of that meeting would be.
It set me on a course
I'd only dreamed of.
But it also brought me that
much closer to my fate.
Next time:
"The Adventure Begins."
The door to our journey
has just been opened.
