"Chapter 80: Maiden Jean d'Arc"
(Red text): Freedom...that is the flickering light in the abyss of despair, giving wings to that thing called hope.
- Page 2 -
Natsu: Blocky bastard!! Where are you??!!
"Objective: Retrieve Erza! (And Happy)"
"Finally, Natsu and company have infiltrated the "Tower of Paradise."
"...have they already been discovered? (sweat)"
Lucy: For God's sake, this is the enemy headquarters! Don't yell so loud!
Gray: We already made such a ruckus downstairs, there's no point in sneaking around now.
Jubia: Plus, this door here was opened...probably from elsewhere, using magic.
- Page 3 -
Jubia: Jubia...looks like we've been detected long ago.
Jubia (?): So it's easy to imagine why they'd open the door for us.
Gray: He's probably taunting us.
Lucy: Taunting...
(Gray): What's with that outfit?
Lucy: *smile*
Lucy: This is an outfit from the Stellar Plane! It's uncomfortable to wear wet clothes, so I asked Cancer to bring it here for me. (I knew it would fit me well)
- Page 4 -
Lucy: Jubia is used to the water, but I don't see how you guys can wear such soaked clothes.
Gray: Why? It dries quickly like this.
Lucy: Ara?? It's because you have a drier right next to you!
"Found them! The intruders!"
Natsu: These guys never learn.
- Page 5 -
Gray: Erza!
Lucy: You're okay!
Jubia: So...so cool...
Erza: Why...are you guys here?
- Page 6 -
Natsu: Why?! If we let these arrogant punks walk all over us, what would that do to Fairy Tail's reputation? I have a score to settle with that blocky guy!
Jubia: Um...Jubia is...
Erza: Go back.
Erza: You guys shouldn't be here.
Lucy: But Erza,
Natsu: Happy's been taken here too! We won't leave here without him!
Erza: Happy? Could it be Miriana...
- Page 7 -
Natsu: Where is that guy?
Erza: I don't know.
Natsu: All right, I get it!
Gray: You get what?!
Natsu: I get that Happy is waiting for us to save him!
Jubia: Mr. Natsu!
Natsu: (I'm coming to save you Happy!)
Era: Hey, hey, Natsu...
Gray: That moron, running recklessly again.
Lucy: Let's go with him!
- Page 8 -
Erza: You can't. Go back.
Gray: Erza!
Erza: Miriana loves all things cat-related. She's not going to hurt Happy. I'll be responsible for bringing Natsu and Happy back.
Erza: You all, leave immediately!
Lucy: We can't do that! We're not leaving here unless we're all together!
- Page 9 -
Erza: This is my fight. I don't want to involve you guys any further.
Gray: We're already completely involved. You saw how Natsu was.
Lucy: Erza, what is this tower? And who's Jeral?
Lucy: If you don't want to tell us, that's fine...
Lucy: Those guys said they were your former comrades, but we're your friends now!
- Page 10 -
Lucy: And we'll always be here for you no matter when or what.
Erza: Go, go back...
Lucy: Erza
Gray: That's not like you at all. Why don't you spare all this hogwash and just say "come with me" like you usually do?
Gray: We will help you. Even for you, it's okay to be scared once in a while.
- Page 11 -
Erza: I'm sorry.
- Page 12 -
Erza: This fight, no matter whether we win or lose...I'm going to be gone from the public world.
Gray: Eh? What does that mean?
Erza: This is the inevitable future. So...
Erza: So, I'll tell you all everything while I'm still here.
- Page 13 -
(Erza): This tower is called the "Tower of Paradise". Also known as the "R System"
(Erza): Over 10 years ago, a cult that worshiped black magic wanted to construct a tower to use a magic that could bring "raise the dead."
Lucy: Raise the dead?
Erza: The project wouldn't have been condoned by the government or Magic Council, so they secretly captured slaves from all over the world to build this tower.
Erza: When I was little, I was one of those captured and taken here...
- Page 14 -
Erza: That was where I met Jeral.
Jeral: Erza! Erza!
Jeral: Hey, hey! Hang in there!
Jeral: *Uwah*
- Page 15 -
Jeral: How, how could they do such a thing.
Jeral: What did we do to deserve this?!!
Jeral: Bastards!!!
Erza: Jeral...is that you?
Jeral: Erza...thank goodness! It's okay, I'm here to save you!
Erza: Save...ho-, how...
Jeral: There is no more turning back.
- Page 16 -
Jeral: We can only fight.
Erza: Fight...
"You little brat"
"I can't believe he killed three others"
"A little punk like him"
"Don't just kill him like that"
"We got to make an example out of him"
- Page 17 -
"Erza!"
"Nee-san!"
"Hey...are you okay?"
"Idiot! How can she be okay like that?"
"What happened to Jeral?"
"He...went to save her when those guards weren't paying attention."
Simon: Erza...
: Let her rest a while. Poor soul, she must have had it rough in the punishment chamber."
- Page 18 -
Simon: But, Jeral is -
*Shake shake*
"He must have been taken in her place."
Shou: I, I can't take it anymore.
Shou: I DON'T WANNA BE HERE!!!
Guard: What's all the noise!!
- Page 19 -
Guards: You brats better shut it! Keep crying and I'll rip your tongue out!
Wally: Calm down Shou.
Shou: UWAAHHH!
: It's okay Shou, Jiji (Gramps) is right here.
(Jeral: Only fight.)
- Page 20 -
Erza: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH H!
"What!??"
"What's going on?"
"The cell next door!"
"It's a revolt!!"
- Page 21 -
Erza: Submitting or running away, won't get us our freedoms.
(Erza): We can only fight!
- Page 22 -
"We must stand up for freedom!!"
Erza: We stood up for our freedom, and to save Jeral.
(Erza): At that time, Jeral was the leader of us all, with a great sense of justice. He was also my idol.
- Page 23 -
Erza: But...with the time that passed, Jeral had changed.
"If someone could be called evil, I'd call him that."
"When light falls into darkness...the flower of malice that blooms...that abyss is?"
"Chapter 81: The Sound of Darkness TO BE CONTINUED"
