Magic is not evil.
We must protect the wizards.
We must combine our strengths.
In the year X633, the world's first wizard guild was born.
Starting today, Fairy Tail has three new members!
Nice to meet you!
That girl's pretty cute.
Yeah!
Dad!
Welcome to Fairy Tail!
So this is that Fairy Tail?
So many people.
Just three?
You said the fewer the better, so we narrowed it down to three.
Did I?
They're plenty powerful.
We can vouch for them.
Got worked over in the combat test, huh?
Newcomers?
Don't start a fight, Gajeel!
You've come to the manliest guild ever!
Let's drink and sing! Drink and eat! Then drink some more!
It's all drinking with you, Cana?
Let's get along.
You will feel at home soon here.
Friends! Friends!
Like at home?
That's wrong! This is the strongest guild!
The best in Fiore!
Every guild is crap in comparison.
Fairy Tail is the strongest guild in the world!
Give me any job.
I'll make this guild even stronger.
Honestly, I'm more useful than the seniors over there.
One day, I will be the Master of Fairy Tail-
Shut up.
Oh! Laxus, you're back.
Yeah.
Don't look down on our friends.
Look who's talking.
And don't talk bad of other guilds.
You haven't got the right to call yourself a member of Fairy Tail.
Who allowed someone like him here?
It was you, Mira?
And why do you two want to join Fairy Tail?
This place is terrifying!
No way I can feel at home here!
Two recruits left after you came in.
How is this my fault?
I am...
I am Touka.
I came here to join Natsu's guild.
Natsu?
What's your relationship with Natsu?
Well, Natsu is...
I should say, Sir Natsu.
Sir Natsu is the one and only my sweet darling!
It looks like you've got a twin, Juvia.
Sir Gray left me. He left me.
Forget it.
We first met a little over a year ago.
You mean back when the guild was disbanded?
I was attacked by bandits,
and he appeared as my prince on a white horse, no, a fire dragon!
It sounds like Natsu was riding on Natsu.
Who knew he was so popular.
Oh my.
So where is Sir Natsu?
Where is my sweet darling?
He's doing a quest. He won't be back for a while.
A quest that no one has been able to clear since wizard guilds began.
The 100 Years Quest.
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
(The "First" Guild and The "Strongest" Guild)
Look! Snow!
Aye, Sir!
Even though the sky is clear?
Unusual indeed.
They're glowing?
It's not snow.
It's magical energy.
These Ethernanos are so big you can see them with the naked eye.
I see!
Anyway, let's build a snowman!
Since they are magical energy, this should be a magicman!
It just goes to show how rich of magical energy is around here.
It's pretty!
Yeah.
Don't take off your clothes!
Wha- Since when?
This must mean we're getting close to the world's oldest guild, Magia Dragon.
Yeah, we're almost there.
We've come to the continent of Guiltina to take on the 100 Years quest.
It's an uncharted continent, different from both Ishgal and Alakitasia.
Magia Dragon is said to be the very first wizard guild in the world.
I wonder what kind of dragon's there.
I don't think there is any.
It's just a name.
Like how there are no fairies in Fairy Tail.
There is one in front of you.
It's common for guild names to reference mythical beasts.
Such as Sabertooth, Mermaid Heel, or Lamia Scale.
Cait Shelter too.
Huh? No response?
The 100 Years Quest is a legendary quest no one has ever completed.
Actually, it's been more than 100 years.
Since no one has completed it, that's how it got its name.
Even Gildarts, the strongest wizard in Fairy Tail, couldn't.
So what's with this 100 Years Quest?
The rule is, I can't tell you that.
You need to see it for yourself.
And enjoy the taste of despair.
Ouch!
What was that for?
Why are you acting cool?
You failed because you went there alone.
But I'm different.
I'll go with my friends.
That's why I won't fall into despair.
Ouch!
What was that for?!
Payback for earlier!
You're in for it, Gildarts!
- Bring it on! - Hey!
Anyone, stop them!
Don't destroy the guild!
It's Magia Dragon.
We made it.
See! There is a dragon!
That's a statue.
Are there still people in this guild?
If there weren't, how could they offer a quest?
The Ethernanos are even inside the building.
There's no people here.
No, this feeling is...
Yes, someone's here.
I welcome your arrival, Ninty-Ninth Hero!
A dragon?!
I didn't know there were still some alive.
Uh...
I am Elefseria, the Law Dragon.
You have to grant my wish, wizards!
So you're the client of the 100 Years Quest?
Indeed.
Natsu, I think you need to be a little polite.
He's really scary.
There's one thing I want to confirm.
This was supposed to be a wizard guild.
So what does that make you?
A wizard guild without a single wizard? Of course, it would make us curious.
Aren't there any other wizards around?
There's only me here.
The humans all grew old and died.
Grew old?
You never took on new members?
This is a strange guild.
Such were the times.
New guilds are continuously being created, and the young prefer to join them.
Before long, there's no one left in the oldest guild.
That doesn't explain why a dragon is now here.
You're human, aren't you?
Huh?
Good job on noticing it.
I am the first master of Magia Dragon and the Father of Wizard Guilds.
Elefseria.
A human?
The Father of Wizard Guilds?
You've been alive for more than 100 years?
It shouldn't be that surprising.
To put it in a simple way, I am the same as that Acnologia.
The same as Acnologia?
It's the price of dragon slayer magic.
I couldn't prevent myself turned into a dragon.
So you were a Dragon Slayer?
Yes, although a self-learned one.
I learned dragon slayer magic in order to bring down a certain dragon.
Stop bouncing around like that!
Sit down, will you?
Well, it's been a long time since I saw a young lady, I'm just a little nervous.
Damn you!
Don't laugh!
Can you move your hand from there?
It can't be helped, the last one who came here was an old man.
You mean Gildarts?
And the one before that was a muscle brain.
Before that, it was a rugged type.
Also, the one before that...
But what a time to be alive! There are beautiful wizard ladies.
I see. I sympathize with you.
You do?
He's different from the First Master.
I can't believe that someone like him is the Father of Wizard Guilds.
This is the lowest.
But no one ever came back.
Gildarts did.
The one before you guys, right?
Indeed, he was the only one who made it that far.
But he didn't come get home unscathed.
I lost my left arm, left leg, and even some of my insides.
Are you prepared to accept this quest?
That's why we're here.
Why are we all here for?
Even if you asked us that...
You really don't have to be here if you don't have a quest to do.
Then let's take a quest!
The quest is called "Protect Sir Gray with Our Lives."
And the client is Juvia.
Then, Juvia will take on the quest.
Sure...
Are you unable to trust your beloved and wait for his return?
What did you just say?
I believe Sir Natsu will return.
And believe he will accept my love!
Don't expect anything from Natsu.
He's right.
Natsu is surrounded by beautiful ladies, such as Lucy, Lisanna, and Erza.
Me included?
I heard Gray is also the same.
Ur, Ultear, Cana, and Briar, and even Erza.
He is surrounded by ladies as well.
This barrel is my only love.
What did you say?!
I'm only speaking the truth!
Oh my. They're getting along already.
What's wrong, Gajeel?
Did that girl...
...just mention Briar?
Briar? That woman from Avatar?
I need your signatures on these contracts first.
Do not tell anyone what the 100 Years Quest is.
For any loss of life that occurs during this job,
you shall not hold me, the client, and the Magic Council responsible.
Sounds good to me.
Yes.
Maybe I should go back home.
Lucy, you're having too much soup.
This is sweat.
But...
I was all fired up to come along.
But the closer we get, the more scared I am.
I mean, it's the 100 Years Quest.
No one ever came back from this job.
Princess, I'm forbidden from speaking in detail,
but I can feel it.
A premonition of a reunion on Guiltina.
Reunion?
Do you mean...
Oh! I shouldn't have said that.
This means a hard punishment for me.
I'll move forward because I have my friends.
Now, tell us about the 100 Years Quest!
Very well.
The content is actually simple.
You must seal Guiltina's Five Dragon Gods.
Guiltina's Five Dragon Gods?
Dragons? And five of them?
The 100 Years Quest...
...is dragon subjugation?
I learned dragon slayer magic to seal them.
But these five dragons are so destructive, earning themselves the title of gods.
You can say that each one of them is at least as strong as Acnologia.
Dragon subjugation? Now I'm fired up!
Natsu's the one who beat Acnologia.
I think we can complete this quest.
What? You were the one who defeated him?
So, where are those five dragons?
What's wrong?
That means this is the last.
If you lot are unable to clear the 100 Years Quest,
then no one in the world will be able to clear this quest.
In other words, you're the last.
My last hope.
Damn right.
We're gonna complete this quest.
What the heck are these things?
They're walking jellyfish!
Don't touch anything strange, Natsu.
What if they're poisonous?
I wonder if we can eat them.
Just don't.
They're kinda cute, though.
Indeed.
Lucy!
You sure are a glutton, aren't you?
Natsu!
Watch out!
They're trying to invade our bodies.
That's why I told you not to eat them.
Happy, do something!
I've never eaten jellyfish before!
Sky Dragon's Roar!
I'm sorry, jellyfish.
My mouth is numb.
I ate mine.
What?!
I don't care if you get poisoned and die.
This continent is unknown to us.
We have to be careful.
Look! A pig with antlers!
He's not listening.
Five Dragon Gods had nothing to do with the war from 400 years ago, the Dragon King Festival.
They stayed hidden,
and only a few in the Magic Council knew about them.
They won't act unless something really big happens.
But when they do, the earth splits open,
and the sky burns, they're what you call a catastrophe.
Elefseria learned about them
and learned dragon slayer magic in order to challenge them.
But it got him nowhere.
He made a quest in the hope that there would be someone who could defeat them.
That was more than a century ago.
I don't know where they're hiding.
But I might have a clue to the location of Mercphobia, the Water Dragon God.
If you go southwest through the Valeria region, you'll reach a port city, Ermina.
That city used to worship Mercphobia as a god.
Ermina it is. All right!
One last thing, about your reward.
I almost forgot.
How much is it?
One.
I will grant one wish, whatever you want.
Any one thing among all that exists.
Any wish? That's just too vague.
For example, if it's me...
You have something you want?
I know! Free rent for life!
I would just ask for a house!
I want a cat like Frosch.
I think so too.
I want... bigger breasts.
You need more greedy, Wendy.
But this is a very greedy wish of mine!
Indeed, anything is a hard reward to get your head around.
Still, we won't get it if we don't complete the quest.
That's right.
But still, that's a worthy reward of 100 Years Quest, right?
Aye!
I see it.
It's Ermina.
Why are you dressed like that, Gajeel?
Even Lily too...
Detectives wear trench coats, right?
Detectives?
It's about Touka, the new member. She mentioned Briar's name.
A member of Avatar who we captured a year ago?
I remember! She was making eyes at Sir Gray.
Her name is not well-known to the general public.
But Touka knew.
That's why we're investigating Touka with our detective skills from our council days.
I agree!
I think she's suspicious!
Here we go, my deductive skills.
First of all, let's tail her!
That's how deductive works!
Yes!
If anything, that's not how the deduction works.
Doubting our guild member...
It smells like the ocean.
Every building is so dirty here.
This city must be really old.
Be careful not to get lost.
Especially you two, Natsu and Happy.
There must be lots of seafood here.
Not interested.
First, let's find a place to stay.
No, eat first!
Let's look for fish!
More visitors.
They're wizards from the Southern Continent.
Water God, milord.
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
Even if we part ways here
Our bond will never break, it's an invisible belief
From this point on, that will be something eternal
It's our story
O friend, this is where we say goodbye
We can't keep supporting each other forever
O friend, as if competing against each other
We grow stronger by standing on our own
