Episode 174: The Four Great Dragons
The audience is excited as Sting and Rogue show some trouble in their fight against Natsu and Gajeel.
Natsu: Did you really defeated a Dragon with the amount of power they have now?!
Sting: Not only we did defeat a Dragon, we also kill it in order to become true Dragon Slayers!
They then start attacking seriously, and Natsu and Gajeel seem to have trouble fighting back.
Back in the infirmary...
Porlyusica: The crowds are full of worry. That means Natsu and Gajeel are in trouble.
Wendy: I hope they're alright.
Porlyusica: Don't worry, Wendy. The battle just begin.
(eyecatch begins and ends)
Meanwhile, while attacking Natsu...
Sting: This is what I dream of! My goal is to surpass you and become the strongest Dragon Slayer ever! You don't stand a chance against me!
Erza: Hm? His attacks are different from before. How's that even possible?
Ryuko: Look at Natsu. He has a strange circle.
Shonetsu: According to my calculations, Sting has put a Magic circle on Natsu!
Natsu: That won't work on me! (burns Magical Circle)
After a while, Gajeel and Natsu begin to empower Sting and Rogue, much to Fairy Tail's relief.
Taokaka: They're going great~meow!
Ciel: I agree. It seems from the most of this, I believe they'll win.
Sebastian: We have to watch to find out.
As they fight...
Makarov: Three months of training and activating the Second Origin has made them very powerful.
Jubei: Same!
Sting and Rogue struggle to get up.
Lector: They're losing!
Shadetsu: They can't lose yet! They still have time!
(eyecatch begins and ends)
Lector thinks back to when Sting first made a promise to him, and Sting activates his Dragon Force, promising to fight for Lector's sake. Rogue also activates his Dragon Force.
Mavis: They can do that?
Jellal: They can activate it to their own will? Interesting.
Sting: Hey you! I challenge you to a match! But I'll do it alone!
As they fight, the whole arena shakes at the magnitude of his power.
Wendy, Carla, and Lucy and Hatetsu become worried.
Porlyusica: Please don't fret. Since this is a battle between Dragon Slayers, the price of it is going to be heavy.
Zecora: Really heavy.
As the debris clears out...
Chapati: Whoa! The floor of the arena has crumbled!
Lacrima screens appear to show the audience the battle going on inside the pit. When Natsu and Gajeel seem to have fallen, and Sting thinks back to the promise he made to Lector.
Flashback...
Sting: Why are you crying?
Lector: Other people did not believe me when I said that you had defeated a Dragon.
Sting: Please don't cry. Look, I promise to defeat Salamander in front of everybody, to prove that you're not a liar. Okay?
Lector: Okay!
Flashback Ends...
(eyecatch begins and ends)
It looks like a victory to Sabertooth, and the Fairy Tail guild members are saddened by this outcome.
Romeo: Natsu, get up! You can't quit now!
Emi: Yeah, Natsu! We believe in you! You can't give up!
Happy silently cries. Natsu then gets up.
Natsu: Everyone, don't think of this as a victory yet.
Everyone: Natsu!
Cheers of relief run through the audience and the people in the infirmary notice the change of cheers.
Hatetsu: Natsu and Gajeel arestill fighting!
Lucy: That's a relief.
Natsu: You know,while fighting, I notice a pattern in everything Sting and Rogue do.
Sting: Huh?!
While arguing, Natsu pushes Gajeel on a cart, and the cart starts to move, triggering Gajeel's motion sickness.
Gajeel: Huh?! What the...?!
Natsu: Since he's out of the way, I'm going to fight you alone! You really think you can take Fairy Tail too lightly?! That's a laugh! I'll show you the true power of Fairy Tail!
