Fairy Tail
Chapter 178: Because I Am With You
[Insert text: Nobody's gonna take the title of strongest team in Fairy Tail from us!! // 'Cause we are... Shadow Gear!!]
[Bottom-right note: For the record, these are all the Edoras-versions...]

2
[Insert text: Natsu and friends held captive!! How can they resist the schemings of the King of Edoras?!]
Byro: Ngushushu... it ish jusht as we had heard. // We have determined that the magesh of Earthland all possessh magical power within their very bodiesh.
Sugarboy: Hmm... that sounds just like the Exceed.
Byro: However, their magical power is not comparable to that of the Exsheed.
Faust: Hmmm...
Hughes: Then that Lucy girl has magical power inside her body as well?
Byro: Preshumably sho.
Hughes: Then it'd be amazingly stupid to kill her, wouldn't it?! / We should just keep her around and keep sucking the magic out of her forever!
Faust: That will not be possible. // The Exceed Queen Shagotte herself has issued an order to eliminate the girl.

3
Coco: An order from the Queen?!!
Sugarboy: Mmmmm... / We can hardly oppose an order from the Exceed.
Hughes: That sucks so damn much!! Ugh!!!
Byro: What ish more, it ish currently beyond our capabilitiesh to extract magical energy from a human body.
Pantherlily: Then what is to be done with the Dragon Slayers?
Byro: They are both human and inhuman. // If our experimentsh are sucsheshfull, we should be able to obtain from them a near-eternal soursh of magical power.
Hughes: All right!! // That's amazing!!
Coco: It certainly is!
Faust: Very good, Byro. You will begin at once. // However, in anticipation of the worst-case scenario, the extraction of magical energy from the Earthland Lachryma should also be begun without delay.
Byro: As you wish!
Hughes: Just a little longer, and we could be able to restore magic to this world... Isn't it amazing?!
Sugarboy: You are certainly in high spirits.
Hughes: What's the first thing you'll do when we have magic again, Sugarboy?
Sugarboy: Hmmm... magical surfing, perhaps.
Coco: I'd like to try that, too~~~!

4
Faust: Is something wrong, Lily?
Pantherlily: Your Majesty... Regarding the recent expansions in military capacity... // Forgive me... it is nothing.
Lucy: So Happy and Charle... // ...are part of a race known as the "Exceed"... // Exceed... / A race considered something like "angels" by the people of this world... // And their Queen, Shagotte, is their "God"... / The word of God is absolute, and she is responsible for overseeing human affairs...

5
Lucy: If she declares that a person must die, then it must be carried out without fail... // It's all so stupid!!! // Who came up with these outrageous rules?!!!
EdoErza: Oh? You seem quite well-informed... // ...in the ways of this world.
Lucy: Erza?!! // Are the others all right?!! // Tell me...!!!
EdoErza: Yes... they are all safe.
Lucy: Thank goodness...
EdoErza: I am amazed that you can act in that way... Do you not understand the situation in which you find yourself?
Lucy: Yes... you're right, of course.

[Side text: Mashima's Ramblings (1): My audio system's broken again. I suppose it's my fault for leaving it on all day, every day.]
Lucy: It's just that your face and your voice are just like the Erza I know... so I can't help but relax a little...
EdoErza: My Earthland counterpart...
Lucy: You know... in our world, you're actually a member of Fairy Tail.
EdoErza: What?!
Lucy: You're strong, and cool, and a little scary, but everyone really looks up to you... // But you can also be really feminine sometimes... liking sweet things, and cute outfits... // And... // Aahh!

7
EdoErza: That's quite enough. // I'm afraid I am not the same Erza you know.
Lucy: Unghh... // Owww...! // B... But... I get the feeling that deep down, you are the same... // You're not the kind of person who can laugh at others' misfortune...! // Please!!! Lend us your strength!!! / All we're trying to do is help our friends!!! // Ahhh...!
EdoErza: Silence.

8
Lucy: H... / Hey... hold on...!!!
EdoErza: Your life ends, here and now.
Lucy: Erza would never murder a defenseless person!!! // Erza is kind!!!! // She would never do this...!!!
EdoErza: You really are a hopeless case. There is nothing I enjoy more than seeing others suffer. / It is not for no reason that they call me the Fairy Hunter... I have taken the lives of many Fairy Tail mages.

9
Lucy: How dare you... say those things... / With Erza's face... // ...with Erza's voice...!
EdoErza: Farewell, Lucy.
Happy: LUCY~~~~~!!!!
Lucy: !

10
Lucy: Happy!!!! Charle!!!!
EdoErza: The Exceed......
Happy: It's all right now, Lucy!!! We're here to - / Mnghh!

11
Charle: ......
Lucy: Th... Thanks... // Wait, what?! Your wings...
Charle: It would seem that the problem lay within.
Happy: I guess I got carried away, after so long without them...
EdoErza: Wh... What on Earth... / That girl is sentenced to death, by order of the Queen...!
Charle: That order is revoked.
EdoErza: B... But surely even the words of an Exceed cannot overrule an order from the Queen herself...?
Happy: Ahh...
EdoErza: I suggest you return that girl to me.
Charle: Know your place, human...

12
Charle: Who, precisely, do you take me for?! // I am Charle, daughter of Queen Shagotte, and Princess of Extalia!
EdoErza: !!! // Your Highness! // Please accept my apologies!!!

13
Charle: Where is Wen... / That is to say, where are the two Dragon Slayers?
EdoErza: I... In the basement below the western tower...
Charle: Release them at once.
EdoErza: I am afraid my position does not entitle me to carry out that order.
Charle: Do as I say!!!
Pantherlily: Erza~~~~~~~~!!!
EdoErza: Pantherlily...
Lucy: What the heck is he?!!! One of you guys?!!
Happy: None of the Exceed looked as tough as that!!

14
Pantherlily: Those two Exceed are mere "Fallen"!!!! / They have been exiled from Extalia!!!!
EdoErza: Wha...?!!!
Charle: ......!!! // Let's get out of here!!!!
Lucy: Hold on!! I thought you were a princess...?!!
Happy: Once they label you "Fallen", I don't think it matters who you are... you're just a traitor to them!
Pantherlily: Tch...

15
EdoErza: Damn them...! // Attention all soldiers!!!! // Two Fallen are on the run with a prisoner!!!! // I repeat: the two Exceed, one blue, one white, are Fallen!!!! They are to be eliminated on sight!!!!
Lucy: Thank you, you guys!
Charle: Are you not angry?
Lucy: Angry? About what?
Charle: Well, it is our fault that you were captured...

16
[Side text: Mashima's Ramblings (2): I went out for some Taiwanese food with my editor, staff, and everyone. It's been a while since the last time we all went out for a meal together...]
Lucy: But you just saved me! // Right, Happy?
Happy: I'm really sorry, Lucy...
Lucy: Oh, come on~~~!! I'm not angry with you guys at all!!! / I'm more surprised about the bit about you being the Queen's daughter...
Happy: I didn't know that, either!
Charle: Well, obviously, I was bluffing.
Lucy: Eh?
Charle: What is that face for, Happy?
Happy: Nothing... I was just thinking, you never change...

17
Lucy: (Huh? Did she just call him......)
Charle: O... Oh, be quiet!!! What's important is that we get Wendy and Natsu out of here as quickly as possible!!!
Happy: Aye! The basement beneath the western tower, right?!
Lucy: (I see...) // *chuckle*
Charle: What are you laughing about, Lucy?
Lucy: Oh, nothing~~!♡
Everyone: !!!
Lucy: What... is this sound...?

18-19
Nichiya: We have found you~~~~~!!! // Fallen scum!!!
Lucy: Cats...! // And so many!!!
Happy: They chased us down here?!!!
Charle: We can't face them in the air!!! Head down to the ground!!!
Happy: W... Wait!!! Charle!!!

20
Happy: Enemies above, and enemies below...!!!
Lucy: Wh... What now...?!!!
[Insert text: Their escape cut horribly short!! Surrounded by enemies in a hostile world!!!]
