Grand Magic Games 4th Day Results 1st Place: Fairy Tail 2nd Place: Sabertooth 3rd Place: Mermaid Heel 3rd Place: Lamia Scale 5th Place: Blue Pegasus

The Grand Magic Games, a festival for wizards.

Fairy Tail started off in last place,

but they dominated the Tag Team Battle and rose to first place.

However, as for Sabertooth,

the failure of the Twin Dragons triggered a certain incident.

Meanwhile, at the sprawling dragon graveyard underneath the tournament venue, Domus Flau,

Natsu and friends learned the truth about the Festival of the Dragon King and Acnologia.

I am Arcadios, Captain of the Cherry Blossom Holy Knights,

the kingdom of Fiore's military corps stationed in Crocus.

I am Yukino Agria, temporary sergeant of same.

What's a military big cheese doing here?

Yukino... But you...

...were a member of Sabertooth.

You said they kicked you out, right?

Yes. That's correct.

I'll explain.

The power of a Celestial Spirit Wizard was necessary to the secrecy of the operation.

And so, I'm relying on the assistance of Sergeant Yukino.

A Celestial Spirit Wizard...

The Eclipse Project!

U-Um, what do you mean you needed the power of a Celestial Spirit Wizard?

Wait a second! I'm lost here!

Skip the annoying details! Just tell me what you want!

Natsu Dragneel-kun, yes?

Your previous event was a marvelous magic battle.

I don't give a damn about that.

I wanna know about this "Celestial Spirit Wizard is necessary" business.

If you got somethin' to say, spit it out!

Natsu...

Yeesh...

Natsu, I think you already know this, but that guy's a VIP.

If you think so, then I don't know about calling him "that guy"...

A white knight...

Follow me.

Hey, jackass! Wait!

Lucy-sama, I also have a favor to ask.

If this operation is a success,

Zeref and Acnologia will be defeated.

Acnologia...

What the hell is this?!

It's huge!

It's the Flower Light Palace, right, Mercurius?

His Majesty's palace.

That's really something...

It's okay for us to go inside?

But first, I would like to apologize to Lucy-dono

for her mistaken attempted abduction several days ago.

W-What?!

That's right. Wendy was mistaken for Lucy and kidnapped.

You were behind that?

Of course, I didn't intend to cause you any harm,

but I imprudently took somewhat forceful measures.

At the time, I was convinced we needed a Celestial Spirit Wizard immediately,

and made an error in judgment.

I apologize.

The Grand Magic Games were camouflage to absorb a great quantity of wizards' magic power.

So every year, you stole magic from wizards?

Camouflage?!

That's terrible!

That's really low.

Exactly.

Say what you wish.

I did it all for a certain plan.

What is it?

Eclipse, the portal that will change the world.

A great deal of magic power was required to construct it.

Portal?

What the hell is it?

When the sun and moon are in conjunction,

the 12 Keys will be used to open the door.

When it's opened, the plan is

to travel back 400 years in time and murder Zeref before he can become immortal.

That is the Eclipse Project!

T-Travel through time?!

Lucy-sama, I've heard time flows differently between the Celestial Spirit World and our own.

Yes, now that you mention it, but...

The idea is to use the Celestial Spirit World's dimensional boundary line

and the power of a Celestial Spirit Wizard to open this door.

Originally, the plan called

for the possible use of pseudo-Celestial Spirit magic in place of the real thing.

But having a true Celestial Spirit Wizard and the 12 Keys

would guarantee the success of the project.

I could say that aspect is indispensable.

The sun and moon will overlap three days hence, on July 7th.

I would like your assistance, Lucy-dono.

July 7th...

The day our dragons disappeared...

Is it just a coincidence?

The eclipse, when the sun and moon are in conjunction...

A solar eclipse...

That's enough! Don't move!

The royal army?!

What is this?!

What the hell?!

What's going on?!

You dumbasses wanna rumble?!

Surrender peacefully, Captain Arcadios.

Minister of Defense, what is the meaning of this?!

That is my line.

Leaking details of a top secret plan and state military secrets to outsiders is abominable.

They're not outsiders! You know this.

These people have a critical role to play in the success of the operation.

That's not a simple matter for you to arbitrarily decide on.

You're just opposed to the plan, aren't you?!

I want you to stop this nonsense immediately!

Of course I'm opposed to it!

Changing history! Can you even slightly imagine the inherent dangers, boy?!

What the hell are they arguin' about?

So there's a faction that's against the plan.

Even so...

Change history...

I see. If you change the past...

...the present will change too!

That's what would happen.

Arrest Captain Arcadios on suspicion of treason!

Arrest Yukino Agria and Lucy Heartfilia too!

Throw everyone else out!

Yes, sir!

What?!

Wait, me too?!

Jackasses! You're not gettin' Lucy involved in this...

Don't! You mustn't use magic here!

Wha...?! This...

The hell is this?!

Natsu!

Perhaps he didn't tell you.

The Grand Magic Games is a system to steal a small amount

of magic power from wizards and send it to Eclipse.

If magic is activated this close to Eclipse,

all of the person's magic power will be siphoned.

Don't cause a fuss.

Wizards who can't use magic are no threat to our kingdom.

Hey! Let go of me!

Isn't Arcadios-sama your commander?!

Lucy!

Yukino-san!

Darton!

I will not let Eclipse be activated.

Natsu...

He has magic deficiency syndrome. I don't think he'll be able to move for a while...

Bastard...

I want you to understand that this isn't my own will.

It's all on behalf of the state.

But I can give you one piece of advice.

His Majesty is fond of Fairy Tail.

If you win the Grand Magic Games,

I'll grant you an audience with the king.

Knowing how kind he is,

he may consider the matter of your friend's treatment.

May you have grand magic battles.

Lucy...
