[NARRATOR]

The epic battle with Alvarez

and the Spriggan is underway.

As a precautionary measure,

Fried casts a protective

enchantment spell,

and covers all of Magnolia

under an impenetrable shield.

What?

Enchantment activated.

[NARRATOR] Though caught off

guard by the aerial att*ck,

the brave members of Fairy Tail

take on a flying armada.

This advance on Magnolia

is lead by Ajeel,

an exceptionally aggressive

member of the .

Erza gives her all

to drive him back!

[ERZA]

...Boom Blast!

[AJEEL] If you're one of the

strongest in your guild,

the rest of 'em must be pitiful!

You'll pay for that!

[NARRATOR]

As the battle rages overhead,

Wall, another member of the ,

leads a ground force straight

through the magic barrier

and into Magnolia.

Gray and Juvia make their

move to intercept him.

They're near the

girls' dormitory!

[NARRATOR]

In the eastern woods,

the sharpsh**ter Bisca's Osprey

team holds their position

manning the focused

magic cannon, Jupiter.

Elsewhere, Natsu, Gajeel, and

Wendy race towards the ground

to take on the

landing airships.

[NATSU]

Fire Dragon Talon!

[AJEEL]

Blow 'em outta the sky!

[HAPPY]

Whoa!

[NATSU]

Nice moves, Happy!

Now let's rock!

Right!

[NARRATOR]

Despite suffering losses,

the enemy continues

to surround Magnolia

with its overwhelming

m*llitary might.

[WARREN]

Three of the are here!

[gasps]

[NARRATOR] Even Mavis,

the Fairy Tactician,

begins to see her

options crumble.

[MAVIS]

No matter how I calculate it...

...we have no chance of winning.

[NARRATOR] Meanwhile, an

unexpected visitor pays Lucy

a very intimate and

peculiar house call.

I knew this was your place.

I don't know why,

but you have been running

through my mind

ever since we met.

[laughing]

[yells]

Did that guy just push back

Captain Bakel with a punch?

I thought he was made captain

'cause of his brawn.

He's definitely not

the strategic type!

That is the only reason

he's the captain!

Nice scarf ya got

there. Gimme it!

[SOLDIER A]

Oh, good! He's fine, you guys!

[HAPPY] C'mon, Natsu,

get serious, would ya?

Normally you would

have put the hurt

on a pushover like this by

now, so what's the deal?

[NATSU]

Yeah, I know.

[HAPPY]

Huh?

But still, there's gonna be more

of these clowns to take out.

I gotta be smart.

I can't go full on

from the beginning.

Is this real life?

It's incredible.

He actually thought ahead.

I can't believe how

much he's grown.

[yells]

Get outta the way!

[CARLA yells]

Back, you scum!

[WENDY]

Sky Dragon Roar!

Iron Dragon Club!

[gasps]

Hey there.

Kareem of the Ajeel Division,

here to carry out my orders.

Sure are a lotta these jerks!

That's true. But we faced more

in the fight with Avatar.

Yeah, but these guys

are way better trained.

And a lot stronger.

Also, this is just a squad.

There's a whole army.

It's gonna be a real pain.

Huh?

A real man's dropping

in to lend a hand!

[ELFMAN yells]

Thanks, Elfman!

[JUVIA]

Lisanna's here, too!

Satan Soul form.

Mirajane-Seilah cross.

The hell?

You were able to use your

take-over magic on her?

So does that mean that you

have her curse power, too?

Yeah, that's what happened.

Otherwise, Seilah would've d*ed.

She's so sweet.

I have the best sisters!

Sweet, huh? She did

steal her body.

I order you all... to sleep.

[SEILAH]

Sweet dreams.

Crazy!

[MEN yelling]

Hey, Mira! It didn't

work on some of them!

I know what to do.

Give 'em a smackdown!

That's so manly!

[WALL]

Hmph.

Ah, the demon curse. Macro.

Now I get it.

She's playing with one of

Emperor Spriggan's

discarded toys.

When I'm done with you,

there's gonna be nothing left

but a cloud of sand

blowing in the wind.

[ERZA]

Why can't I Requip right now?

Our spatial magic was blocked

on Caracol Island as well.

Could this be that

same wizard's doing? line:%

[MAVIS]

Call up the Osprey unit! line:%

Erza is in trouble!

Is the Jupiter ready to fire?

It's pointless anyway.

Even if we survive this wave,

they're just gonna keep

sending bigger ones.

Give my order now! I need

your telepathy, Warren!

Warren!

Would ya stop cryin' and

get yourself together?

[WARREN screams]

We're all scared,

okay? Look at me!

I can barely stop my legs

from trembling to stand up!

What am I supposed to do?

You're supposed

to fight with us!

They're trying to destroy

our home and way of life!

We have a duty to protect Fiore!

[ALL chuckle]

Kickin' me in the

nards is gonna help?

[MAX wheezes]

[WARREN] Come in.

Osprey unit, do you read?

This is Warren.

What is your status?

Needs five more minutes,

then we blast 'em.

Good luck! We're counting

on you to save the guild!

[WARREN]

It did help. Thanks, Max.

But stay away from my butt!

Only if you keep your feet

away from my crotch, okay?

I apologize for all this.

The kids can be quite vulgar.

It's fine.

[MAVIS] We can't afford to

give up at a time like this.

That would mean the end.

I need to think of

a plan, quickly.

I... don't understand

what you're doing here.

I want you to get in with me.

[LUCY]

What?

First you break into my

house and use my bathtub,

and now you actually

expect me to join you?

Are you insane? Or just stupid?

[BRANDISH]

Don't make me repeat myself.

I don't like having to do that.

[LUCY gasps]

[BRANDISH]

Oh, I get it.

Because of him.

Hey, A-plus, don't be shy.

Ah! Hold on!

Please, my lady!

Don't do this to me!

I'll put him away

for now, so hop on in.

Not a chance!

[BRANDISH]

There's no need to fight it.

Besides, your guild lost the

w*r the moment I came here.

You remember what

my magic can do, right?

In just the blink of an eye,

I could make this town

the size of an anthill.

All we'd have to

do is step on it.

For now, I'd rather

take a relaxing bath

and enjoy your company.

You understand what

I'm saying, don't you?

There's no need to cry.

As long as you do

exactly what I tell you,

nobody's gonna get hurt.

My pets are extremely well taken

care of, believe it or not.

[MARIN] Wait, did you

just call me a "pet"?

Why are you doing all this?

[rumbling]

Whoa, what's that?

[BRANDISH]

The building next door.

I shrunk it.

I'm not asking you.

This is me giving you

a direct order.

Get in the tub.

[MARIN]

Can I get a little peek?

Just kidding!

[LUCY] I can't use my magic

as long as that guy's around.

I don't know what

she's really after.

I'll take her challenge.

[LUCY]

It's a naked battle!

[MARIN]

Aw, come on, Brandish!

Please let me out!

Now, what's your goal here?

You're not looking very cute,

so you should put this on.

[LUCY]

Are you being serious?!

[grumbles]

Oh, wow. I can't believe

it. You're adorable!

What is this girl's deal?

[BRANDISH] I could swear that

I've seen you before somewhere.

In Sorcerer Weekly ,

I would bet.

I was a reporter there. And a

model for about a year or so.

We don't get your eastern

magazines in Alvarez.

Maybe it was in last

year's Grand Magic Games.

[BRANDISH]

What is that?

It's weird. I can't remember.

[LUCY]

Hold on a second!

Did you really go to

these ridiculous lengths

just to figure that out?!

Yeah, so what?

Speaking of ridiculous, how

can we have a serious convo

while you're in cat ears?

[LUCY squeals]

[BRANDISH] Anyway, think you

could scrub my back for me?

[LUCY] Why in the

heck am I doing this?

You haven't told me your name.

It's Lucy.

Ah.

[MARIN] I'd be more than happy

to scrub your back, my lady!

Anything for an A-plus like you!

[LUCY] Her guard is down.

Now's my chance!

I'll take down one of

the ! I can do it!

Are you Layla's daughter?

[gasps]

[LUCY]

You know my mom?

[BRANDISH]

That's what it is.

Your Layla's only daughter.

That's the reason I know you.

[gasps]

Oh, no, the room is shrinking!

Gotta run!

Wait! The entire building

is shrinking!

Agh!

Owie! Owie! Owie! Owie!

[BRANDISH]

To think you live in that dump.

Still, I'm glad I found you.

Who are you?

And what connection do

you have to my mother?

[BRANDISH] It's too much

of a hassle to explain.

[CANA] Get the hell away

from Lucy, you weirdo!

Magnolia isn't your personal

playground, ya know?

So you need to get outta here!

Cana!

Am I interrupting

something between you two?

Because it looks like some

kinky stuff is goin' down.

You've really got the

wrong idea about this!

Anyway, it's all okay now!

[MARIN]

Hey, what's goin' on out there?

[MARIN grunts]

[LUCY]

Whoops!

[groans]

Marin!

[LUCY] Now I can use my

Celestial Spirit magic!

Like Star Dress: Aries Form!

Brings back memories of our

tag team battle on Tenrou.

You have such exquisite feet,

my lady. They're A-plus!

[gasps]

[ERZA]

My Requip is back!

Is that wind?

Wind God Armor!

Nice try.

[NATSU sighs]

That seemed a whole lot tougher

for you guys than I expected.

Give me a freakin' break!

It's 'cause we were

holdin' back!

I was only using like,

/th of my power

to fight those guys.

Well, whoopdie-doo!

I was usin' /th!

That means you struggled

more than I did!

[PANTHERLILY]

Another wave of ships.

[CARLA] It's like

there's no end to them.

Master Mavis said it

would be like this.

We just gotta have faith

that we can win.

Give up now!

[laughing]

How can you b*at our army

when this is all you've got?

You losers can't even

handle the Ajeel division!

[WENDY gasps]

Natsu!

We can't, huh?

What?

[groans]

[NATSU yells]

[BAKEL screams]

[WENDY chuckles]

[KAREEM] Yeah. I think

I'm just gonna stay down.

[BAKEL screaming]

What the hell?

Thanks, Natsu, for sharing...

...your fighting spirit!

[AJEEL groans]

Ugh. No way. How'd she--?

[AJEEL groans]

This shouldn't even be possible.

Because anything that touches

my body should turn into sand.

No blade can ever cut me!

A water sword?

[ERZA] The Sea Empress Sword

solidifies your sand!

Damn! But you won't

win this fight!

Cannon fodder like you is

nothing compared to me!

You made a mistake

when you took me on!

No one can b*at the great Ajeel!

[AJEEL yells]

It's over. I've figured

out your magic!

My Wind God sword can

blow away your sand!

Sand is feeble in so many ways.

I believe a sandstorm

would change your mind.

[gasps]

[ERZA]

It's covering the whole ship!

And more!

What's goin' on? Where'd

this sand come from?

I bet that sand

wizard is doing it!

It's hurting my eyes!

[PANTHERLILY] Now what?

More enemies are coming!

You cats step back!

Us Dragon Slayers can use our

noses to find the bad guys!

What's with all the sand?

Make sure that the doors and

windows are tightly shut!

[MAX]

The weather's gone crazy!

What the heck's happening?

[CANA coughs]

[BRANDISH] Ajeel.

You're always such a pain.

This sucks!

I can barely see anything!

My darling Gray!

Where did you go now?

He's using Sand World.

Seems they have a

fighter strong enough

to push Ajeel to extremes.

[BIXLOW]

Aw, crap!

This stupid sand spell

is getting through

the hole in your enchantment.

[FRIED]

Damn it!

[EVERGREEN]

Ugh. This is horrible.

As if the pollen in Magnolia

wasn't bad enough,

now we have to live

in a dust cloud?

If the sand is this

thick inside,

how bad is everything

on the outside?

[EVERGREEN]

What's the matter?

Can you not reinforce

the enchantment

and keep the sandstorm out?

Just give me a break!

I'm at my limit here!

The Jupiter is finally

ready to fire again.

But it's impossible

to aim with this.

It's in my eyes, Daddy!

Keep 'em shut!

You're gonna be okay!

No way.

He's covered all of

Magnolia with his spell?

They have the power

to shrink an island

and create massive

weather events.

They're truly unlike any foe

that Fairy Tail has ever faced.

[AJEEL] Let me welcome

you to the Sand World!

In here, I am god!

And I reign without mercy!

Ramal Sayf!

[yells]

You're afraid of being

completely immobilized.

Of having to fight an

enemy you can't see.

To me, it's as clear as day.

Not only can I see your

fear, I can feel it!

There!

[AJEEL] Pathetic!

You don't have a chance!

Recognize me as your god,

and start begging me

for my forgiveness.

Do that and I'll show you mercy.

I'll grant you an instant death.

[ERZA]

My strength... is fading.

[AJEEL]

It's excruciating.

My magic can dry up all

the water in your body.

The source of life itself.

Do you want to shrivel up and

die painfully in that way?

Come on. Say "god" and

I'll end your suffering.

[laughs]

You are strong.

But still, you are not a god.

And even if you were...

...my guild, my friends...

...would never bow down...

because we're not afraid.

Huh?

[ERZA] And we don't put

our faith in just anyone.

We know exactly where to look!

Morning Star Armor!

You're wasting your time!

Ramal Fas!

Now, your head is mine!

I see a sparkle up there!

It's coming from the fleet!

I see it!

Yes. And I know

exactly what it is.

That's Erza's light!

[AJEEL screams]

No! Impossible!

Did you get 'em?

You know Mommy

never misses a sh*t!

Nakagami... Starlight!

It's clear again.

Sure is.

[chuckles]

[LUCY] Erza and Bisca put

their faith in each other

to sweep away the

Desert King Ajeel.

But now, another member of

the Spriggan , "Judge" Wall,

may pose an even bigger

thr*at to Magnolia.

Gray's team struggles

with an enemy

that seems to know

their every weakness.

Meanwhile, Wall's next

target is Fried,

who's also struggling to

keep up his enchantment

inside Kardia Cathedral.

Next Time: "For Whom

the Parfum Flows."

The bond we share extends

far beyond the guild hall.
