Did I hear that right?
We're just gonna set
him free? No charges?
Yes!
[IRIKI growls]
How's it goin'?
It's been a while, hasn't it?
Aye!
[NATSU laughing]
Haven't been here
since the party.
That was a good time, eh?
This is serious!
The only reason you're here now
is because you ruined the games.
And caused major damage
to the Domus Flau Coliseum.
Sorry about that.
I guess I coulda held
back just a little bit.
Shut your mouth!
Chill out!
[HISUI]
It has been a while.
It makes me happy to
see you're doing well.
You've done so much for us.
What's she talkin' about?
[HAPPY]
Remember all that Eclipse stuff
and when the spirits
went cuckoo?
Yeah! I remember!
Kinda...
His poor brain.
Heh. I see you
haven't changed much.
Since the pleasantries are done,
we need to discuss what
would be a proper punishment
for his destructive crimes.
Now, Darton,
due to Natsu and Fairy
Tail's heroic actions,
the city of Crocus, and
the entire kingdom of Fiore,
have been saved from the brink
of destruction, many times.
Surely you haven't forgotten.
It makes perfect sense
that our reunion here today
would involve such uproar.
[HISUI chuckles]
Majesty, will there
be any punishment?
This year's games were boring.
So for heating things up,
you have my thanks!
[NATSU, HAPPY]
Oh, yeah!
[HISUI] So do you know
what you'll do next?
[NATSU]
Well,
since we just wrapped up a year
of super intense training,
we were plannin' on
headin' back to the guild.
Aye, sir!
Is that so?
Best of luck to you.
You'd better stay away!
[HAPPY]
Aye!
[NATSU]
Ah!
[HAPPY]
Lucy!
I can't believe you're
not in jail right now.
[NATSU]
Hey.
Are ya just here to watch the
games by yourself, or what?
[HAPPY] How come Fairy Tail
isn't competing this year?
[footsteps]
[SCARMIGLIONE B]
Hey, man!
[LUCY]
It's Scarmiglione!
We want you to be
our big brother!
[HAPPY]
That's not possible.
We made a whole lotta
money this year,
but with your guidance...
...we could haul in practically
all the Jewel in Fiore!
You gotta be kidding me.
Did you forget your
public b*at-down?
Ya know, there's just
somethin' about you guys...
...that makes me real mad.
[SCARMIGLIONES]
Ah! Sorry to bother you!
Seriously?
[thud]
[LUCY]
What's with you?
We're just starvin', that's all.
[HAPPY] I'd give his left eye
for a fish right now.
Let's go grab a bite.
We can catch up,
and it'll be my treat!
[NATSU, HAPPY gasp]
[NATSU] Oh, thank you,
merciful goddess Lucy!
[HAPPY]
We're not worthy!
Cut it out!
You're embarrassing me!
[NATSU]
Oh, man, that's good!
[HAPPY]
My poor tummy's been so empty!
Time to fill it
back up till it pops!
[HAPPY]
Aye!
Yeah, sure, fill your bellies.
While you empty out my wallet.
So what have you guys been
doing for this past year?
Trainin' hard.
[HAPPY] We traveled
all over the kingdom.
But first, we went
to Tenrou Island
and visited Master Mavis' grave.
[LUCY]
Really? Well, then what?
Next, we--
Oh, get a load of this.
You probably won't believe
what a horrible thing
Natsu did after that!
Happy! What're you
talkin' about?
[HAPPY]
He talked me into going on
this year-long training
mission with him,
but he had absolutely
nothing planned!
Ya don't say...
[NATSU]
I had a plan.
No, you didn't!
We just walked around randomly
and it was totally brutal.
Well, a hardcore
training mission
is supposed to be brutal!
See? That's what I've
been dealing with.
[LUCY]
Sounds like typical Natsu to me.
And things went way
downhill from there!
Yeah? How so?
It was absolutely
terrible, Lucy!
[LUCY]
Spill it, cat, I'm all ears!
Well, if you think
you're ready.
[HAPPY crying]
[HAPPY]
Natsu!
[NATSU belches]
[NATSU]
Ugh.
What's up man?
Did ya catch us any fishies?!
Uh, hold on. Is somethin'
wrong with you?
Nah, I'm cool. Just
doin' a little trainin'.
Doesn't seem that way to me.
Are you positive
you're feelin' okay?
[NATSU] I said I'm cool.
Kinda hungry though.
So make with the fish!
[HAPPY]
I don't have it on me!
I caught a huge one!
Bigger than you, even!
But then it got stolen from
right under my nose!!
Dinner was stolen? By who?
By a buncha super
mean-looking wizards!
There were like...
way more than of 'em!
[NATSU]
That many?
Hang on.
Natsu, you didn't happen to eat
those mushrooms, did you?
Yeah, but I fired them up
real good beforehand.
[HAPPY]
Uh!
Those aren't really the kind
you're supposed to
be eatin', pal.
Relax, man,
I'm feelin' just fine
But I think I'll go and
take back those fishies.
[whimpers]
This isn't gonna
end well, is it?
[TROM] Aw, that's smellin'
like grilled heaven to me.
[NATSU]
Is that it?
[HAPPY]
Yeah, and they're ruining it.
[NATSU] That fish looks teeny
and there's only four of 'em.
I may have exaggerated
just a little tiny bit
to make the story
more interesting.
No, wait! I can see
more now, yeah.
I'd say there are
at the very least!
Yup, this really
isn't gonna end well.
[NATSU laughs]
[DABO]
Who the heck are you?!
[NATSU]
I'm Natsu.
[MIRIN]
Huh?
Let me take a wild guess.
You guys are the fish stealers.
[TROM]
What are you talkin' about?
We're a wizard guild, pal.
[DABO] We got this
fish fair and square,
so why don't you leave us alone?
You guys are so full of crap!
It was me that
caught the fishie!
[MIRIN] Well, if that's true,
then you stole it from us!
Mt. Altana is on our turf!
[MASTER G]
That means everything that grows
or lives here is ours!
[TROM] So if you want this fish
back, you're gonna have to--
[NATSU]
I know.
Take it by force?
Like how you guys b*at
up poor little Happy
and took it from him?
[MASTER G] We didn't b*at
anybody up for it!
[DABO]
What's he talking about?
There's a pretty hefty price
for makin' my best
friend cry, ya know?!
Simmer down.
[TROM]
Oh, man! He's a fire wizard?
[MIRIN]
Master!
[MASTER G] In that case, we have
no other choice! Get 'im!
[TROM, MIRIN, DABO]
Yeah!
[TROM]
Iron Make: Needle Hammer!
[NATSU yells]
[NATSU] Hand over the fishie
and no one else gets hurt.
[MIRIN] This guy is packing
serious firepower.
[MASTER G]
Why don't ya cool him down?
[MIRIN]
Yeah! Solid Script!
Blizzard!
Oh, yeah?
Oh, no!
[HAPPPY screams]
That was nothin'!
[DABO] We're in serious trouble!
This guy is a freak!
[MASTER G] Wait, I recognize
him from somewhere!
Pink hair. And a scarf
that looks like scales.
[DABO]
Whoa! No way!
[MASTER G] Yeah.
That's impossible. His guild--
[NATSU]
Fire Dragon Roar!
[laughing]
Natsu.
Don't you think
you might've gone
a little overboard
with the fire?
I said I'd get our fish back.
So that's all I'm
doin' here, okay?
--[MASTER G] Let go!
--[DABO] Stop pushin'!
[MASTER G]
You're supposed to shield me!
[MIRIN]
Sorry, Master, I'm trying!
Oh, wow.
I think they're startin'
to fight themselves.
[NATSU] I can't believe the way
you're acting right now.
[HAPPY]
Huh?
I thought you're in a guild!
You're supposed to have each
other's backs no matter what!
And fight your common enemy!
[WIZARDS screaming]
[screams]
[HAPPY] No! You're
gonna burn the fishie!
[yells]
[MASTER G]
He's a demon.
Here's your fish, Happy.
Eat your fill, but save
some for me, okay?
You're such a big dummy.
See?! It's things like this!
All of that fighting
and commotion
and we both still
went hungry that night!
Sounds like him.
Captain Overkill!
So you guys were the ones
who melted Mt. Altana?
They thought it was
a natural disaster!
It was all over the news!
I guess so. But I don't
remember any of it happening.
Hey, sorry,
I need to take a little
bathroom break!
[HAPPY] Hang on, Natsu! We're
still in the middle of lunch!
[NATSU]
Gotta make room for more!
You two really haven't
changed at all, have you?
It's actually kinda reassuring.
[HAPPY] You know what
really bothered me
about the whole thing?
After he b*at those guys, Natsu
said something in his sleep.
[LUCY]
What was it?
[HAPPY] He said he'll
teach a lesson to anyone
who doesn't treat their
friends like family.
He really said that?
[HAPPY]
I mean, I agree with him.
But what kind of person
would turn a friend's yummy
fishie into a pile of ashes?
Uh?
Hey, Lucy. Are you feelin' okay?
Uh, yeah.
[HAPPY]
Huh. You sure?
[JASON]
This is so cool!
There it is!
This year the victor is
no guild! It's Fire Boy!
That has got to be the
freakin' coolest headline
Sorcerer Weekly's ever had!
You haven't seen Lucy
around, have ya?
No. Not lately.
I swear.
We get a massive scoop like this
and she just up and disappears?
Oh, it's cool.
Are you sure?
[HAPPY]
Ask her.
[NATSU]
Yeah, okay.
Hey, Lucy?
[LUCY]
What?
Something happened, right?
[NATSU] Come on, I can tell
when you're feelin' sad.
[HAPPY]
You start actin' all weird,
just like you are right now.
[sighs]
I guess you guys still
don't know, huh?
[BOTH]
Huh?
Right after you left...
the guild broke up.
[BOTH]
Huh?
I just can't believe it.
How could that happen?
I know I just ate,
but I really need a
fish right about now.
[LUCY]
I would've told you,
but I didn't know
where you were.
This has to be some
kinda joke, right?
[LUCY] I wish it was,
but it really happened.
[NATSU]
Do you know where Gramps is now?
I'm gonna kick his butt!
And after that, I'll rip out
what's left of his hair.
You gotta leave his
mustache, at least.
[LUCY] Nobody knows
what happened to him.
[NATSU] What about Erza and
Gray? Where'd they go?
You know?
[LUCY] Everybody went
their separate ways.
I haven't seen them.
No one? You haven't
even kept in touch?
Fairy Tail split up and no one
even gives a crap about it?
That's not true.
Well, it seems like it to me!
I mean, why didn't anyone try
to stop it from happening?!
If Gramps really wanted to quit,
he coulda made Laxus
the new master!
I don't think you have
any room to talk, Natsu.
You weren't there.
Say what?
Can you honestly say you
were thinking about the guild
when you decided to run
away for a whole year?
You just took off.
You didn't even talk
to any of us about it.
It wasn't like that.
Sorry. I'm not telling you
how to live your lives.
I know you had your
reasons for leaving.
[LUCY sighs]
Yeah, I know Master
and everyone else
had their own reasons
for taking off, too.
Oh, wow!
Fancy!
[NATSU]
You actually live here?
[HAPPY] I can't believe you
moved out of Magnolia.
[LUCY]
Yup. This is my new place.
You don't have anywhere
to stay, do ya?
You can crash here for a while.
[NATSU] Oh, thank you,
merciful goddess Lucy!
[HAPPY]
We're not worthy!
[LUCY chuckles nervously]
But you gotta promise you
won't mess anything up!
And if I find you in my bedroom,
you're gonna be dead meat!
[HAPPY laughing]
I just told you not
to mess anything up!
You better clean up after
yourselves, ya hear me?!
Your panty collection
has grown quite a bit!
Get the heck outta my dresser!
Snip! Snip! Snip!
I feel like I got
a brand new head!
Baby.
[sighs]
his is so relaxing.
You sure you don't
wanna join us, Lucy?
[LUCY]
n your dreams!
[NATSU]
Just like that.
[LUCY laughs]
[HAPPY] I don't know
why you're laughing.
It wasn't funny at all.
We ran out of money
right after we left,
so we had find some jobs to do.
Just to earn a little
Jewel to get by.
[LUCY] Oh, and I bet Natsu spent
all of it on food, didn't he?
Of course!
I only eat fish and that comes
from hard work and patience.
But this guy's like a
walking bottomless pit!
Don't try to pretend like you
caught everything you ate.
You bought most of it and
you never stop eating.
Well, you ate a whole
lot more than me.
We had to wash dishes
to pay off our tab.
It made me wish Mira had
taught us how to do it
without breakin' 'em.
Because then we had to
work those off, too!
I'd be surprised if that
only happened the one time.
Yeah, you're right.
The point is, Natsu
would never've made it
if I weren't there
to help him out.
Say what? I woulda
made it just fine, buddy!
I've had to bail your butt outta
trouble too many times to count!
[NATSU]
Oh, is that so?
How about you try
counting a few of 'em?
I want specifics!
Dates, times, and places!
[HAPPY] You see how
I'm still the only one
who acts like a grownup, right?!
You're full of it, cat!
Oh. I almost forgot
to mention it.
We ran into Gildarts. In the
middle of some random forest.
[LUCY]
Really? What happened?
[NATSU]
Ha-ha! I fought him, of course.
Did I even have to ask?
[NATSU]
Still hurts a little.
Then what next?
[HAPPY]
Yeah, and?
So you guys helped destroy
another mountain, did ya?
And guess what happened next!
Ooh, do tell.
[HAPPY] Ol' Gildarts
and Natsu walked away
with each other's
bags by mistake.
[LUCY]
Yeah?
[HAPPY] Well, when we decided
to stop for lunch...
[HAPPY]
...he ran up and att*cked Natsu
with tears runnin'
down his face!
That makes sense.
There were probably a bunch
of pictures of Cana in there.
[HAPPY] We didn't get much
of a chance to look at 'em.
I win for the
seventh time in a row!
Aw, no way!
All right, I call for a rematch!
[LUCY]
Another one?!
[NATSU] We're gonna keep
playin' till I win!
[NEIGHBOR A] Keep it down,
or I'll have you evicted!
[LUCY] Wow. Tonight brought
back so many memories.
Hey, Happy?
[HAPPY]
Aye, sir?
Our guild... doesn't
exist anymore.
Hard to believe it's true.
[NATSU]
I know!
Let's draw on Lucy's face
while she's asleep!
[HAPPY] Wouldn't be a sleep-over
without a little prankery!
[NATSU giggles]
She's sawin' logs.
[HAPPY] Careful not
to wake her up, okay?
I'm gonna do it
nice and steady.
[HAPPY]
So what're you gonna draw?
[NATSU] Duh. A mustache,
a big ol' unibrow.
Maybe even a full on beard.
[gasps]
What is this?
She's tracking everybody.
Some of these
have a lot of info.
Eyewitness reports and
specific dates and times
when they were last seen.
Amazing.
[LUCY]
Uh, what's going on?
[SOLDIER A]
This is the place!
[SOLDIER B]
Should we bust in, sir?!
[LUCY] A buncha soldiers
standing outside my door
is not the kinda thing
I wanna wake up to!
So they've found us
already, huh?
Aye, sir!
The army came looking for you?!
Let's go, Lucy!
What kinda trouble
are you in now?!
[SOLDIERS gasp]
[NATSU]
Nothin' we can't outrun!
[NATSU laughs]
[SOLDIER C]
There he is!
[SOLDIER D]
He's the one responsible!
I didn't do anything wrong!
I'm just getting kidnapped!
What did you do
this time, Natsu?!
[NATSU giggles]
[NATSU] I just left a
message about Fairy Tail!
Telling everyone
we're comin' back!
[SOLDIER F]
Fairy Tail?!
[SOLDIER G]
The palace is burning!
We let him go.
That troublemaker.
Fine. Fine. It's okay.
Summon the Hungry Wolf Knights!
[JASON]
Fairy Tail's back?! Cool!
This scoop is gonna be massive!
Best of luck to ya, Lucy!
And try to stay cool.
That type of fire goes
out super quickly,
so everything's gonna be okay!
That's not the only
problem here, Happy!
How can you just announce
Fairy Tail's comeback?
'Cause we all
still believe in it!
We're gonna get
everyone together.
And the guild'll be
better than ever!
[laughs]
Come on!
[LUCY]
Yeah!
I wonder how far
we can get today!
We're gonna get just
as far as we can!
If I had to take a wild guess,
I'd say we'll
make it to the city
on the other side
of that mountain!
[LUCY] Well, if we're
gonna travel that far,
we should take a train
or something, right?
[NATSU]
Are you crazy?!
Just thinkin' about
makes me wanna hurl!
[LUCY] And so, we continue
our eternal adventure!
Let's keep moving on!
