[insert text: The battle looks hopeless! Fairy Tail put up a desperate resistance, but the time limit is drawing near!!]
Max: !

Max: Sorry, Kana.
Kana: You need to be more careful, Max!!! // We must protect the guild at all costs!!! // These guys don't know the sorrow of losing one's nakama or the pain of having one's guild destroyed!!!! // We can't let the guild be taken by guys like that!!!!

[Text: There are only nine minutes left... // ...until the next Jupiter!!!]
Natsu: Move it!!! // I'm gonna destroy that cannon!!! // If I destroy that Lacryma, you won't be able to fire Jupiter, right?!

5
Totomaru: I'm sure...... I already said...... // ......I won't let you do that.
Natsu: There's no time!!! // Stop talking so freakin' slowly!!! // GUAAAAAGH!!!! // Ugh?!!
Happy: Natsu!!
Natsu: Aaaaagh?!!

5
Natsu: Owww... // Not again... What is this...?
Happy: Natsu!!! This is no time to be picking fights with this guy!!! // We've got to destroy Jupiter quickly!!!
Natsu: Why, you...!!!
Happy: Natsu...!!!
Natsu: Uooogh!!! // Uagh!

7
Totomaru: I am Totomaru, manipulator of the fire element. // All flames in this world submit to me.
Natsu: What the hell?!!
Totomaru: Be they my enemy or merely natural, all flames belong to me!!!
Natsu: My flames are mine!!!
Happy: Natsu!!! Forget about all that... / You've gotta destroy this thing!!!
Totomaru: You chose your opponent badly... // ...little Fire Mage.

8
Happy: Jupiter started to move!!!
[Text: Five minutes until Jupiter fires]
Totomaru: BLUE FIRE!!!!
Natsu: !!! // UAAGH!

9
Totomaru: !
Natsu: Whew. // It's cold!!! I've never eaten fire like this before.
Totomaru: I see... You must be the Dragon Slayer of Flames I've been hearing about. // It seems we're both at something of a disadvantage.
Natsu: Huh?
Totomaru: What I'm saying is that flames won't work on either of us.
Natsu: Don't be so quick to say that. // I just haven't managed to hit you yet.
Totomaru: That's what I'm telling you - you can't hit me with flames.

10
Natsu: What if I use this spell?
Totomaru: It doesn't matter what spell you use - as long as it's made of fire, I can control it.
Natsu: Karyuu no... [salamander...]
Totomaru: It's useless!! // (I know what he's going to do!! He's going to shoot flames from his mouth...)
Natsu: Tsuba!!!! [spit!!!!]
Totomaru: !!!

11
Natsu: Ahahahahah!
Totomaru: ............
Happy: Natsu!!! It's terrible!!! // Jupiter's going to fire!!!
Totomaru: Why, you!!! You tricked me!!! // Orange Fire!!!!
Natsu: Fire spells are just food to me! I wonder how this one'll taste... // !!! // What the hell's this?!!! // It stinks!!!!

12
Natsu: Gaaaaaahhh!!! My nose is gonna fall off!!!
Totomaru: Hahahah! These are "flames that smell of shit"!
Natsu: You're a nasty bastard, aren't ya!!!
Totomaru: Y... you're the one who started it...!!
[Text: Two minutes and 30 seconds until Jupiter fires]
Natsu: NOW YOU'VE PISSED ME OFF!!!!
Happy: Natsu! That's enough!!! // Calm down!!!
Natsu: SHADDUP!!!!
Totomaru: Given up on magic and using your fists? // In that case, with my sword, I have the advantage.

13
Natsu: Tch...
Totomaru: Will you never learn...?
Natsu: Unnngh... // Ngaah!!!
Totomaru: Uaagh!!!

14
People: It's building up energy... // Is Natsu still not done...?!!!
[Text: Two minutes left...!!!
Natsu: Heheh...
Totomaru: This guy... he extended the range of the flames until they engulfed me!!!

15
Happy: NATSUUUUU!!!!
Natsu: Nnnnnnnghhhhhhhh!!!!
Totomaru: The same trick won't get me twice!!
Natsu: Uuunnnngggggggghhhhh!

16
Totomaru: !! // What?!! D - don't move, giant flame!!!
Natsu: NNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHH!!!
Totomaru: D - don't tell me he's regained control?!! // Could he have figured it out in the middle of the battle?!!
Happy: NATSU...!!!
[Text: 32 seconds until Jupiter fires]
Natsu: THESE FLAMES ARE MINE!!!! // DON'T YOU MESS WITH THEM!!!!

17
Totomaru: Hahah...!!! // If you can't hit me, all those flames are meaningless!!!
[Text: 10 seconds until Jupiter fires]

18
Natsu: I WAS NEVER AIMING AT YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!

19
Totomaru: Wha-!!!!
Happy: Ahhh!!!! // (Come to think of it, he could never have destroyed this without either defeating this guy or regaining control... // It was me who was really losing my cool.........
People: Look!!! // Ahh!! // The building's collapsing! // He did it...!!! // I knew he would.

20
Natsu: Now it's time to take you guys out... // Phantom!!!!
[insert text: Natsu's flames are a beacon of resistance! His spirit and tenacity turn the battle around!!]
