01x13 - Scarlet Showdown

[bunniefuu]

The White Mage?

She's an enemy of our guild.

Sir Natsu...

Save me!

Let's leave Diabolos to Mira and Elfman.

I happen to be looking for Cana.

I found the Magic Cards.

If you beat him, I'm sure
this cocoon will come off too.

Now, I will eat you.

Roaring Thunder!

Don't touch that.

Stay out of my way.

Sir Gray.

Nothing's going to happen
if we just stay here.

Let's go and help Mira and Elfman.

Don't those two see us as enemies?

Isn't that gonna end badly for us?

Well, it might.

I mean, we need to beat the ash guy
and armor guy first.

How?

Are you sure Mira and Elfman
won't get in the way?

But if I freeze them all first...

Would that even work on Mira?
I bet it won't on the ash guy either.

Let's just calm down and think.

The demon and beast siblings are fighting
the Ash and Armor Dragon Slayer.

But how do we take out Diabolos
and get Mira and Elfman?

Why are we even thinking about this?

If you think it normally,
Mira would obviously win.

She's "Mirajane the Demon," after all.

You're right, she would never lose.

True, this is Mira we're talking about.

Let's believe in Mira!

Don't forget about Elfman, too.

But we might be able to do this.

If Mira wins the battle,
we can take care of them later.

More importantly, we should think about
how to deal with the White Mage.

She was able to suck everyone's
magical energy instantly.

Not only that, apparently,
but she also has a thing for Natsu.

I see.

Actually, that's Touka's personality,
not the White Mage.

She's going take him, you know.

Rivals in love, I see.

I don't really care about it.

Since we're talking about Natsu,
I kind of feel sorry for her.

I mean, he has no interest
in that sort of thing.

I will never fall into despair
in this world

Our real bond will open up
a path for tomorrow

At night, I even forget to notice

The continuation of dreams
I can't see

And the sounds of anxiety
that everyone holds

Let's accept it all
and make it come true

The time has passed at
an impossible speed

While I recall it,
the "present" is slipping away

I will never fall into despair
in this world

Our real bond will open up
a path for tomorrow

If you hold onto hope
after coming this far

I'll seek the meaning of
the promises we exchanged

For the "Story" of the future

[Crimson Showdown]

Um, I'm sorry!

Did we meet somewhere before?

Stupid me!
What a misunderstanding!

Sir Natsu!

What?!

What's the meaning of this?

Isn't this too big of a misunderstanding?

I've always wanted to meet you,
Sir Natsu.

It was about one year since
you saved me from bandits.

It's only natural you don't remember.

I was locked up in a barrel.

It was in the Northern Fiore.

Help me. Somebody, help me.

Hold it right there!

Then, a prince riding
a fire dragon appeared.

Wasn't that just me carrying Natsu?

You defeated the bandits,

and they were all wiped out
in the blink of an eye.

That was also Natsu.

That's right!
Sir Natsu, you're my prince.

I'm not Natsu.

But...

Who're you?

I'm from Fairy Tail-

Don't talk while you eat.

Name... What's his name?

It's Natsu.

Natsu of the Fairy Tail.

Sir Natsu!

Huge misunderstanding!

So, you're the true Sir Natsu,
and you're Sir Happy?

You got it.

Sorry, we don't really remember you.

So you were in one of those barrels, huh?

We gave them right back to the client,
so we never knew.

Sir Happy!

Please forgive me!

I can't believe I got the name
of my beloved wrong.

This Touka has made the second
greatest failure of her life.

So it's not the first.

That goes without saying.

The first was letting this body be
possessed by the White Mage.

Right! Maybe this is the perfect time
to return to my original form.

This is the real me.

You were a cat?

So cute.

I only appear as human when
I'm being controlled by the White Mage.

Is that so?

What should I do?
I think she might be the one for me.

What about Charle?

Who's that?

So, why are you here?

What happened to the White Mage?

Now that you mention it,
we have to hurry.

He broke my anti-lightning armor
in one hit?

Lightning Dragon's Roar!

Armor is useless.

Dragon Slayer Seal, release.

True Benizakura.

Weapon with dragon slayer
properties, huh?

Then I'll show you my new move.

New move, you say?

In order to defeat you,

I can't just use half-hearted attacks.

Red Lightning Dragon Mode.

Red lightning?

It's a power I got by chance
during the battle of Alvarez.

Finally, I'm able to make it mine.

Got you!

What an unbelievable magical energy.

So strong.

How strong have you become, Laxus?

So they're from the same guild?

Must be a rough place.

What's that magical energy?

Wendy taught me this.
High Enchant.

Fire Dragon's flames
and Ice Devil's chill.

So you enchanted Natsu's fire
and Gray's ice into your swords?

So meticulous.

Natsu, Gray, lend me your strength.

Icefire Blade!

The red of this blood...

...is what makes the power
of the red lightning.

Red Lightning Dragon is stronger
than I expected.

How long are you going
to hold back, Erza?

Now, I'm just getting fired up!

Are these people monsters?

Lightning Dragon Heavenward Halberd!

Heaven's Wheel: Blumenblatt!

Megaton: Red Lightning!

Did the lightning guy win?

She laughed?

What's so funny?

Got another trick up your sleeve?

No.

That was everything I got.

I lost.

Then why do you laugh?

Because I'm happy.

Since we left for the 100 Years Quest,
I was worried about our guild's safety.

But now that I know
how strong you are, Laxus...

My worries are unnecessary.

I can now understand why
Natsu looks up to you.

Even if you're under the White
Mage's control now...

Once we get this all over, I won't have
to worry about our guild anymore.

That's why, I'm laughing.

Seeing your strength, I feel relieved.

But next time... I'll definitely win.

That's my line.

I'm also out of magical energy.

Wow! This is great!

Two monsters beat out each other.

I'm so lucky.

I'll eat the Lightning Dragon.

But first...

...the orb must be destroyed.

What now?

The Wood Dragon God is
quite active today.

Does it have something to do with
those wizards who've been fighting?

What to do?
Should we run away?

It's quite scary.

This rumbling...

Don't tell me,
another orb's been destroyed?

They got another orb?

This is...

The ground is shaking.

Oh no...

Another orb got destroyed?

The third orb has been destroyed.

Say what?!

No way!

There are just two left, this one
and the one on the left shoulder.

We must protect them, at all costs.

If all five orbs are destroyed,

the White Mage will steal
the Wood Dragon God's power.

Wait, aren't you the White Mage?

That's right.
She's sleeping now.

But it won't be long-

That's right, Touka.

Who told you that you could
turn back into cat form?

You...

White Mage, please stop this!

Shut up!

Sir Natsu, Sir Happy...
Please stop the White Mage.

I don't care what happens to me.

It might be the last time,
so I'll tell you this.

I was glad to meet you, Sir Happy.

Touka!

I really can't lower my guard
against her.

We meet again, Sir Natsu.
It's time for you to stay still now.

What a perfect time, Sir Natsu.

I'm going to have you destroy that orb.

Whiteout.

My power...

Natsu!

I can't use my power.

That's cheating!
Fight me fair and square!

Unfortunately, I'm not here for a fight.

It's to erase any powerful magic.

Like your guild or the Five Dragon Gods.

Are you rejecting all magic?

No, magic is necessary.

But magic that's too powerful is evil.

Stop!

Shut up!

Happy!

Hey!

Aren't you from the same race as Happy?

No, I'm human.

But Touka is a cat.

That just means I'm inside that cat.

Cat bodies are inconvenient.
That's why I appear as human.

So why'd you possess a cat
in the first place?

Enough talking.

Do you feel it? The feeling of
your magical energy being drained out.

When you're empty,

the whiteout will be complete,
and you'll become my puppet.

I thought I'd give it a try,
but I didn't think it'd work that well.

Natsu!

Let's retreat for now.

What did you do to her, Happy?

I threw the orb at her.

You threw the orb?

Remember what the White Mage said
through Juvia?

But my power won't be enough
to destroy them.

I need all of you to destroy all the orbs.

So I thought,
maybe she couldn't touch them.

You're really awesome, Happy.

I didn't expect it'd work
like that, though.

I was glad to meet you, Sir Happy.

Touka, wait for me.
I'll definitely save you.

Now you've done it.

You and I are holding
the ends of the same rope

Pulling with a strong force

Creating a tense connection,
taut feeling

We've always helped each other out
no matter when

But leaning on each other
too much isn't good

It's time to let go

For both of us

When we meet again,
we'll be even more invincible

The experiences of fighting alone will
become both our shield and spear

There are only the two of us
in this world

Because we're rivals

O friend, can you see the sky?

That's our potential

O friend, shall we compete
against each other?

We grow tougher than we were
in our memories
