Sun Village.
It's populated by the frozen forms of giants.
While trying to save them, Lucy and other Fairy Tail members
battle three members of Sylph Labyrinth, whose goal is the village's treasure.
Natsu!
Got it!
Lucy!
Okay!
Wendy!
Meanwhile, Doriate's magic has turned
Natsu and Erza into children.
What the hell is this?!
Erza is confronted by her onetime enemy, Minerva.
Enough talk.
Let's have a rematch.
Although I don't think you'll be able to do anything in that form.
So you're responsible for altering my form?!
No. My partner's magic did that.
There's a lot of interesting magic in the underworld.
You're a thief, but you can use magic?!
I told you, I'm not a thief.
Whatever happened to fighting fair and square?
The underworld has its own way to fight.
My way of thinking has broadened.
Steel yourself. This isn't a festival like the Grand Magic Games.
It's a life or death battle.
That's fightin' dirty!
And what the hell is that?!
What's what?
Crap! He got away!
Natsu runs through the forest, searching for a strange voice that he heard.
Sorry, but I'm searchin' for a voice!
There are three of us and you two ladies.
What can you do?
Wendy!
Gotcha!
When Lucy and Wendy are in a pinch, Flare saves them.
What is Minerva's goal?
And who does the mystery voice that Natsu is looking for belong to?
The villagers are encased in ice but alive.
I can't just forget about it. I want you to save them.
That's my request.
I see! That's simple!
I'll melt all the ice with my flames!
If that's true, then what am I doing here?
Indeed, that is not ordinary ice.
Your ability is needed, too.
The Demon Returns
Voice! Voice! Voice!
Where is that voice coming from?!
It's hard to move when I'm in kid form!
And when am I gonna turn back to normal?
Do I have to kick that guy's ass first?
Argh! This is no time for pondering!
Voice! Voice! Where's the voice?!
Flare?!
Flare... san?
Who's this woman?
One of their comrades?
Um... Thank you!
What are you doing here?
I followed you, Blondie.
Actually, I've been following you all this time.
Just kidding.
I had nowhere else to go...
...so I came back here.
Came back?
That's right. This is my hometown.
This emblem is the crest of Sun Village.
Flare-san, you're from this village?
I don't believe it!
Giants raised me when I was young.
But when I came back, the villagers...
My family...
You'll pay for this!
Like, we're not the ones who froze them!
We came here to get the Eternal Flame with a boom!
Oh, no, you don't!
The Eternal Flame is the village's guardian deity!
It's precious to us!
I won't let anyone defile it!
Her hair just grew out!
Leave her to me!
Gate of the Crab, I open thee!
Cancer!
When it comes to hair, you're in good hands-ebi!
Hair restoration scalp care!
It feels so good!
It's like these cuticles are on fire-ebi!
Blondie...
We're gonna protect the giants!
Let's fight together!
Revived!
Claw of the Sky Dragon!
You...
Jeez!
Gate of the Centaur, I open thee! Sagittarius!
I am here once more!
I just got a good idea!
All right!
Gate of the Maiden, I open thee!
Virgo!
You called, Princess?
Take this opportunity to burrow through the ground and come up behind the sniper!
That's a really good plan. On it!
What are you doing?
Princess, I can't burrow.
Why not?
This ice is permeated with special magic, so I can't get through it.
Punishment, I assume?
Marksmanship and I lost...
Sagittarius!
You can't take modern weaponry lightly.
When it comes to rapid-fire performance, you can't beat a rifle.
Hair Shower, Wolf Fang!
It's just hair! That's no match for my sword!
This hair was bestowed upon me by the Eternal Flame! It's my pride!
Hair Shower, Fireflies!
Wha...?! What the hell is this?!
Hiroshi!
Little girl...
Average strength won't free you from the clutches of my Stronger!
Wendy!
Uh-oh!
Blondie!
My hair...
Treasure hunter skill! Tying knots!
How's that? Now your Hair Magic is totally tied up in knots!
Like shooting fish in a barrel...
Well, I expected no less.
Now do you, like, realize just how strong Sylph Labyrinth is?
Better wait another, like, decade before you pick a fight with us again, wizards!
You women should act like women and just shake your ass in front of men.
Hey! Give me a little of that ass-shaking here!
Good idea! Do it, do it, boom!
You guys really are morons, aren't you?
I could shake mine all day and night.
You'd better wait a century...
...before picking a fight with wizards again!
Offensive Strengthening Arms!
Even if it's tied up, I can extend my hair!
What?! Like, I didn't know that!
You...
Found you!
And in time!
Lucy!
Wing Attack of the Sky Dragon!
Hair Shower, Zigzag!
Lucy Kick!
And Virgo Kick!
Goodbye!
We did it!
Yeah.
Natsu!
Why is he always so much trouble? Where did he go?
He said he heard somebody's voice.
But a voice from underground...
Happy!
W-What?
Shhh! Look!
Shhh!
A life or death battle?
Are you serious, Minerva?
This is the day I repay you for the Grand Magic Games, Erza.
Get out of that dark guild, Minerva! It isn't too late yet!
That's enough getting reacquainted with each other. Here I go, Titania.
What's wrong? That was just a warm-up.
How far am I supposed to run?!
I was in this village when I was little.
How could you...? I mean, you're a normal...
That's right. I'm a normal human.
But I was raised in this village.
Everyone in the village was kind to me...
...but I hated being different from everyone, so I left.
Before then, I'd never seen humans the same size as me.
That actually scared me.
And then you joined Raven?
I didn't know how to make money.
I didn't know anything when I joined Raven Tail.
That guild hated Fairy Tail.
They always badmouthed it.
But I didn't know any better, so I took their word for it.
And things turned out as they have...
That's okay. Let's patch things up.
Yes. I'm sorry.
It's all right. I don't have a grudge against you.
When you came back to your hometown after all this time,
the village was like this, right?
Yes.
I was the only little person here, and they were all so kind to me.
It's hard to see the villagers like this.
Don't cry! They're all still alive.
Yeah...
Maybe the Eternal Flame could melt the ice surrounding them.
Follow me. I'll take you there.
Carla, what's that?
I-I don't know.
But we're in trouble. We can't fly with that thing up there.
Aye... Where did Natsu go?
Whose voice is that?!
And when am I...
...gonna get back to my normal self?!
I like it. Erza, but a mere child.
You really are a child, aren't you?
I want to torment you more and more.
Enough to make me forget the humiliation of the Grand Magic Games!
She's out of my league in this form!
If the one who cast this magic is defeated... will it break the spell?
This is fun! So much fun!
Crap...
I can't find Natsu. Got separated from Lucy and the others...
Hey, you!
This is annoying. Having to deal with them one by one...
What the hell is with your mouth?!
The better to eat you with!
What the hell is this?
I'm... a kid?!
Deliora...
It happens sometimes.
When I turn people into kids, they get flashbacks.
Poor guy...
Not that I give a rat's ass!
Demon! Deliora! H-Help...
You're not going anywhere.
I'll tell you just one thing before I kill you.
There's a world out there you must never set foot in.
It's past the gates of Hell.
But you lowlifes are standing at the entrance right now.
Although I don't know why I bother saying that to a brat.
Gray...
Deliora is gone...
I know!
I know, but they killed my mom and dad...
They're gone.
Muster up courage.
If you don't defeat the enemy right in front of you, your comrades will be in danger.
Comrades?
Enemy right in front of me...
That's right.
I'm watching over you.
Ul...
...tear!
Cold!
Ice...
Demon...
Kid...
Moon Drip...
Too many things here bring back memories.
Pathetic... To let something like this make me forget myself...
But I'm all right now.
Did you do this to the village?
What if I said, "That's right!"?
You used creepy Ice Magic like that...
I'll show you what real Ice Magic is!
Oh?
This is bad. If I don't turn back into my normal self soon...
I suppose it's about time I deliver the final blow.
End of the line, Titania.
The Eternal Flame is over here!
We have to meet up with Natsu and the others soon!
I wonder where Erza-san and Gray-san are!
Hold on, everyone. I swear I'll bring you back to normal!
Hurry up and go somewhere else!
What the heck is that bird?
What in the world is happening in this village?
There! I heard the voice coming from that mountain!
I'm sure of it!
Gray was turned into a child, just like Natsu and Erza.
It's not only magic, but all of his abilities have decreased.
It's under those circumstances that the powerful Doriate pounces.
But despite facing overwhelming odds, Gray's spirit will never break.
What is the counterattack that he unleashes?
Next time: Gray Versus Doriate!
The quintessential element of Maker Magic is... freedom.
