Fairy Tail
[Card:]
Name: Gildartz Clive
Age: 45
Magic: Crush
Likes: Guild
Dislikes: Ivan Dreyer
[/Card]
Notes
Known as the most powerful mage in Fairy Tail, he has some serious reputation. He attempted the "Century Quest", the most difficult quest in the whole magical world, but thanks to the Black Dragon, was forced to give up.
The magic he uses, Crush, allows him to destroy anything he touches - the very highest level of destructive magic. He has a tendency to space out a little, and when he does, he can destroy the buildings around him by accident, so the main street of Magnolia was restructured to accommodate him.

Lucy: The seventh day of the seventh month, Year 777?
Wendy: That's the day the dragons, the ones who taught me and Natsu-san our Dragon Slayer magic, all seemed to disappear.
Lucy: Come to think of it, I seem to remember Natsu saying that Gazille's dragon disappeared on the same day as his, as well...
Charle: What does that mean?
Lucy: Maybe they all went on a trip somewhere?
Wendy: You say some weird things too sometimes, huh?

Wendy: The Fire Dragon, Igneel... The Iron Dragon, Metallicana... and the Sky Dragon, Grandine... / Where could all of them be right now...?
Happy: Charle~~!!
Charle: !
Happy: Here... I caught this fish myself. / I thought you might want it...
Charle: I'm afraid not.

[Side text: Mashima's Ramblings (3): Man, 24 Season 7 was cool. Next up, Lost Season 5!]
Charle: As it happens... I hate fish.
Happy: Oh, I see... then what do you like? I'll see if I can -
Charles: Oh, shut up! // Just leave me alone.
Wendy: Hey... Charle...!!
Charle: Hmph!
Lucy: I don't think there was any need for that... / Right, Happy?
Wendy: Charle!! Hey!! Wasn't that going a bit too far?!

[Side text: Mashima's Ramblings (4): I read quite a few different books in preparation for a project I'm working on, but the ideas just aren't coming... Writer's block can be painful...]
Charle: (How dare he call himself "Happy"...? // He doesn't know a thing...)
Happy: Ahh! Wait, Charle~~!
Lucy: Don't you think Charle's awfully cold towards Happy?
Wendy: I wonder what's wrong with her...
Happy: Charle~~~!

[Side text: Mashima's Ramblings (5): My first meal of the year was at McDonald's, as usual. Well, I like it!]
Charle: What is it? // I thought I told you to leave me alone.
Happy: Have I... done something I shouldn't have?
Charle: It isn't like that. // You cannot protect Natsu.
Happy: Huh?
Charle: I will protect Wendy.

9
Charle: No matter what happens... I will protect her.
Happy: I... I can protect Natsu too, you know!!!! // Natsu thinks of me as a comrade!! He always says so!!!!
Charle: You cannot. // Not when you do not even know who you are.

10
[Side text: Mashima's Ramblings (6): I went to one of Hirano Aya-san's concerts. It was really great. I was amazed all over again at just what an incredible person is doing Lucy's voice.]
Happy: (Who... // ...I am...?) // ...Where'd you get those scratches?
Gazille: Shut up!!!!

11
Wendy: Charle! There you are!!!
Charle: Wendy... // What are you doing out here with no umbrella? You'll catch a cold.
Wendy: I could say the same thing! // Charle... We've just joined this new Guild, so... / I really think you should try a little harder to get on with everyone.
Charle: There is no need for that. // As long as I have you, that is enough for me.
Wendy: Ughh...!! Why do you have to be like that?!

12
Wendy: !
Charle: Who's this...?

13
Mistgun: Wendy...
Wendy: Eh...? // That voice...
Charle: !!!
Mistgun: To think that you would come here, to this Guild...

14
Wendy: ......!!!! // Gérard?!!!
Charle: Wh... What on Earth...?! Surely you were arrested, and...
Mistgun: He and I are two different people.
Wendy: What?!!!
Charle: What is that supposed to mean?! You are clearly Gérard!!!
Mistgun: I am Mistgun. A mage of Fairy Tail.

15
Mistgun: Seven years ago, knowing little of this world... // ...I introduced myself to you as Gérard.
Wendy: Eh...?
Charle: ("This world"?!)
Wendy: Y... You don't mean... // A... // Aahh... // Y... You're the same Gérard... // ...I met seven years ago.........?

16
Wendy: I've always... // ...longed to see you again...!
Mistgun: I'm sorry I couldn't go back for you.
Wendy: *sniff* // *sniff*
Mistgun: However... there is no time now for us to enjoy this reunion...

17
Wendy: Eh...?
Mistgun: You must leave this town without delay.
Wendy: ?!! // Gérard!!!!
Mistgun: I have failed in my mission... // Anima has grown too large... // My power alone is no longer sufficient to keep it suppressed.

18
Mistgun: It will not be long before Magnolia is destroyed.

19
Wendy: Wh... What do you mean...? // I don't get it at all...
Mistgun: Its time has ended. // The destruction of Magnolia is set in stone. // I wanted at least... to save you.........
