[Chapter 173: Fireball]
[Insert text: With EdoLucy around, somehow even this serious situation seems... not quite so serious!]
[Box: Shikka Town]
Edolas!Lucy: Check it out!! // Even this girl's body is exactly the same as mine!!
Lucy: Gahhhhh!!! Don't just leap out looking like that!!!!

3
Wendy: EdoLucy-san!! Natsu-san is sitting right there!!!
Edolas!Lucy: Oh, I don't mind about that.
Lucy: Well, I do!!
Happy: It's pretty fun with this "Doublucy" combo around!
Charle: Is... that supposed to be a pun?
Edolas!Lucy: Hm? Natsu, you want to look, do you?
Lucy: Stop that~~~~~~~!!!
Natsu: Pfft...
Lucy: Wh... What's so funny? / You're not going to come out with something about how EdoLucy has better style than me, I hope?
Natsu: Why are you taking a bath with yourself?!
Lucy: (He has a point!!!)

4
Wendy: Still, you really are so similar it's difficult to even tell you apart.
Edolas!Lucy: To think even her butt is exactly the same shape as mine!
Lucy: Stop saying stuff like that!!!
Natsu: You could do, like, an awesome mirror sketch!!
Lucys: Forget it!!!
Wendy: They're completely in sync, too...
Charle: Disturbingly so.
Edolas!Lucy: Hey... you said you have a Spirit or whatever who's good at doing up your hair, right?
Lucy: Oh... you mean Cancer?
Cancer: Will this be acceptable~ebi?
Edolas!Lucy: Yep! / That should take care of any mix-ups!

5
Lucy: Are you really all right with that?
Edolas!Lucy: Hm? Is there some kind of tradition in Earthland of holding your hair sacred or something?
Cancer: I would say that all women hold their hair precious~ebi.
Edolas!Lucy: All women, huh~? // I guess most of us in this world just don't think about little gender distinctions like that these days. // We have enough to worry about just staying alive.
Happy: But everyone back at the Guild seemed pretty cheerful...
Edolas!Lucy: Well, sure! If we don't keep ourselves smiling, we'd lose the strength to go on! // And even with the world in this state, there are still people who need us. // That's why even if it means being outlaws, we can't just stop being a Guild.

6
Edolas!Lucy: But... that's still not really enough, is it.
Lucy: Huh?
Edolas!Lucy: No... it's nothing.
Lucy: I can't believe her!!! // What's the big deal?!!!
Natsu: Jeez, she's noisy when she's just got up...
Happy: What's up?
Lucy: The Edolas version of me has run off without us!!!

7
[Note: If you travel east for three days, you'll reach the Capital. I'm heading back to the Guild. Bye, and good luck!]
Lucy: What happened to helping us out, huh?! / Ughhh...!! What is wrong with that girl?!
Happy: The same thing that's wrong with you?
Lucy: Shut up!!!!
Wendy: Well, we can hardly blame her. She did say she was never planning on fighting them like we are.
Natsu: Yeah.
Lucy: Well, I won't accept it!!! She's making both of us look bad!!!
Natsu: ...Is it really that big a deal?
Lucy: Yes, it is!! Grrr!
Natsu: Let's get going, shall we?
Happy: Aye, sir!
Edolas!Lucy: ("They might actually be able to change the world"...? // I can't be thinking pathetic things like that...)

8
Edolas!Lucy: (If we really want to change this world... / ...then we ought to be doing it ourselves!!!! // If they can rescue their friends alone, then that's all very well... // ...but up against the Kingdom, it's not going to be easy. // That's why I'm going to convince the others to take action!!!! // Everyone... it's time we made a stand!!! Together as one!!!!)

9
[Side text: Mashima's Ramblings (1): I'm looking forward to Monster Hunter on the 360, but will I actually have time to play it...?]
Happy: Wow... she cheered up quick.
Wendy: She's just happy because she found a new book.
Lucy: What, don't you guys want to find out more about this world?
Natsu: Not really.
Lucy: It's all here in this history book... // This world is an interesting place!!
[TN: Much as I'm sceptical about basing my romanisation on a book with the word "NARRTIVE" on it (and about paying much attention to Mashima's romanisations at all, for that matter), it's not like I had any particular basis for "Edras", so I'll go with this one =p]
Lucy: For instance... about a century ago, there was a race living here called the "Exceed".
Natsu: I said I'm not interested!

10
Lucy: !!! // What's that?
Natsu: Hm?
Happy: Up there!!
Charle: What the...?!!
Someone: An airship?!!!

11
Soldiers: Hurry it up~~~!! // We depart at once~~~!!
Lucy: That's the Royal Army...
Natsu: Mnghh...
Wendy: Quick, hide!!
[BubbleSFX: push]
Soldiers: They're going to start extracting the magic from that giant Lachryma the day after tomorrow! // Whoo-hoo~!! // If we miss this ride, we'll be missing out on witnessing the event of the century!!
Natsu: "Giant Lachryma"...?
Wendy: That must be the people of Magnolia...
Lucy: Extracting the magic in two days' time? / We can't get there that soon on foot!!
Natsu: Hey!! What's gonna happen to everyone?!
Charle: Once the extraction process begins... // ...it will be impossible to bring them back.

12
Natsu: Let's steal that ship.
Charle: I hope you mean "infiltrate"!
Natsu: I hate hiding, though.
Happy: Natsu suggesting we steal a vehicle? That's pretty surprising.
Natsu: Ahahah... now that we have Wendy's "Troia", I have nothing to -
Wendy: We can't use magic here, remember?
Natsu: Let's forget that idea.
Charle: Oi!!

13
Lucy: Well, I think it's a great idea!! / Besides, if we don't do this, we'll never get there in time!
Wendy: But how...?
Lucy: With my magic, of course!♡ / I'm the strongest one here now, remember~?
Natsu: ......
Lucy: I learned something from that fight back in Luen. // I'm pretty sure Earthland magic is more advanced than the magic they have here.
Wendy: Yes, you may be right...
Lucy: Anyway, you guys just watch!!!
Natsu: Right!!
Happy: Go for it, Lucy!
Soldiers: Who goes there?!
Lucy: Open!! Gate of the Lion......!!

14
Lucy: Loki!!!
Virgo: My sincerest apologies, Princess.
Lucy: ...Wait, whaaaaat?!
Natsu: It's Virgo...
Lucy: Hold it... what's the big deal?!!
Virgo: Onii-chan is on a date at the present, and as such is not available for summoning.
Lucy: O... "Onii-chan"?!!
Virgo: Yes... that is how Leo-sama has requested for me to address him.
Lucy: WHAT IS THAT IDIOT PLAYING AT?!!!!
Soldiers: That's... That's Lucy!! // Seize her~~~!!
Lucy: What now?! I only dashed out like that because I thought Loki might be able to take them all out...
Virgo: Pardon me, Princess, but if I unleash my full capabilities...

15
Virgo: ...I am capable of dancing.
Lucy: GET OUTTA HERE!!!
Happy: Lucy! Aquarius!!
Lucy: But... there's no water!
Happy: Tauros!!
Lucy: Can't summon him right now... // [aside]what are we going to do~~?![/aside]
Natsu: Ah, well!! We'll just have to do things the Edolas way!!
[Box: Edolas Magic / Fuuenken / Produces fire, and forms it into the shape of a sword. Recently charged with magic.]
Wendy: We know how to use these weapons now!
[Box: Edolas Magic / Kuuretsuhou / Produces projectiles of air. Recently charged with magic.]
Natsu: Let's do this!!
Wendy: Right!!!

16
Natsu: Ehhhhhh~~~?!!!
Wendy: Noooooo~~~!!!!
Happy: Natsu and Wendy are no good at all!!! / Better than Lucy, though.
Lucy: I'm so sorry~~!
Charle: This isn't good!! The airship...!
Happy: !!
Wendy: But we have to get on there, or we won't make it in time...!
Natsu: Ughh...

17
Natsu: Dammitall~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!
Soldiers: ?!
Natsu: Wh... What's that?!!
Lucy: A magic vehicle?!
Happy: That's the Fairy Tail mark!!!
Edolas!Natsu: Lucy told me everything. / Get inside.
Lucy/Happy/Natsu: All right!!!!
Edolas!Natsu: This'll be fast... // ...so hang on tight.

18
Edolas!Natsu: GO!!!! // FIRE!!!!
Soldiers: Tch...
Lucy: You saved us!
Wendy: Thank you very much!
Natsu: U... Unnghhh...
Edolas!Natsu: You're heading to the Capital, right? Trust me, this'll get you there faster than that nasty old airship. // Hahah... // They don't call me the fastest man in the Guild for nothing...

19
Edolas!Natsu: Natsu of Fairy Tail, at your service.
Everyone: NATSU~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~?!!!
Natsu: M... Me?!
[TN: lol natsu drives vehicles lol]
[Insert text: Hope is not lost!! Their saviour... EdoNatsu!!]
