Evergreen: What kind of joke is this?!!! He's just excommunicating you?!
Bixlow: Surely we all committed the same offense!
Dolls: Same offense! / Same offense!
[Insert text: Luxus, thrown out of Fairy Tail... What is resounding in his heart...?!]
Luxus: It's the old man's decision.
Evergreen: Well, in that case, I'm leaving the Guild with you!!!
Bixlow: Yeah... if you're not gonna be around...
Luxus: Ah, don't be such idiots. / Can't you even bring yourselves to say goodbye?
Fried?: Why... are you trying to take all the blame yourself?
Luxus: That's not what I'm doin'. // Unlike you guys, I've got no reason to stick around, that's all.

[Side text: Mashima's Ramblings (1): PAIN, on PS3, is pretty much the ultimate "screwed-up game". It's brilliant. The main character is so damn cool!]
Evergreen: We'll go and speak to the Master ourselves!!
Bixlow: I'm sure Natsu and Gray will speak up for you!!! They may act all tough, but when it comes down to it, they...

Luxus: Gramps...

17
Makarov: (Even if I can't see you... // No matter how far away you may be... // I will always... // ...be watching you. // Always...)

18
Makarov: (...watching over you.)
Luxus: I know. // Thanks.

19
Ivan: Ahhh, crows~~! // Why are you always so beautiful~? // Oh? // You say it's because people hate you~? // The~re we go!

20
Crow: !
SomeDude: True beauty lies in fleeting lives. // Bwahaha! // Isn't that right, Gazille-chan?
Gazille: ......... // You never said anything about Luxus being a Dragon Slayer.
Ivan: Wheeew... // Bwahahahahahah!

21
Ivan: That's what we call a "fake". // A silly little fake.
[Box: Luxus' Father / Dark Guild Raven Tail / Master Ivan]
Gazille: A fake?
Ivan: You see, since he was a little kid, he's always been a weakling. // So out of pity, I implanted Lachryma crystals into his body.
Gazille: Lachryma that allows you to use Dragon Slayer magic?!!
Ivan: I know, a real rarity! // I daresay he will be excommunicated, and come to me. // Which is perfect.

22
Ivan: Recently, I learned I can get a lot of money for that Lachryma. / An incredible amount of money.
Gazille: Y... You're going to extract it? / But if you do that, then Luxus...
Ivan: Bwahahahahah!!!! He was never worthy of that power in the first place! I'll just be putting my kid right back in his place. // It's the money that matters. // The lo~vely money. // I need enough cash to go to war with Fairy Tail, you see. // You just stay where you are, as my inside man. // All right? / And even if you get exposed as a spy, you never tell them about this place.
Gazille: I'm not that big a screw-up.

23
Makarov: Gazille!
Gazille: !

24
[Side text: Mashima's Ramblings (2): I watched the Sean Penn movie, "Into The Wild". Man, that was some story. The music was good, too.]
Makarov: You want to take part in the big finale?
Gazille: Sorry, but I'll pass.
Makarov: I see. // Wheeew~! / Well, we managed to pull it off in the end! // And starting tomorrow, we'll have to get to work helping with city repairs... Dear me...
Gazille: Master.
Makarov: !

25
Gazille: I've uncovered Master Ivan's... // ...your son's current location.
[TN: Yay double-agent Gazille! ^_^]
Makarov: Good work. // And I apologise for giving you this dangerous task.
Gazille: He hasn't worked out I'm a double agent. And he's after the Lachryma inside Luxus.
Makarov: As long as I have his location, I can handle that. // I won't let him have his way.
