Mirajane: Elfman...

3
Mirajane: Hey... // Elfman... // Can you hear me?! // You... you haven't lost all reason again, have you...?

4
Mirajane: Elfman...
Elfman: I'm sorry, Nee-chan...

5
Elfman: You probably never wanted to see this face ever again... // It was all because I couldn't control this form properly that... Lisana...
Mirajane: You're... lucid...
Elfman: But... there was nothing else I could do. // I had to become stronger, or I couldn't protect you, or Fairy Tail...
Mirajane: It was never your fault that Lisana died... / Back then, too, you were just trying desperately to protect us...

6
Elfman: I couldn't do it... // Lisana... she died...
Mirajane: But I'm still alive.
Elfman: Nee-chan...
Mirajane: We made a decision together, didn't we? // To live a full life, for her sake...

7
Elfman: Nee-chaaaaaan...! // I'm so glad you're okaaaay!!!!
Mirajane: Honestly... // What are you standing around crying for?!! // Thank you...... Elfman.

8
Mirajane: !
Elfman: Wh... what is it?! Nee-chan!!!
Mirajane: The speed at which he's drawing the seal...... // It's become slower.
Elfman: Huuuh?!
Mirajane: I wonder why......

9
Mirajane: (That four-elemental forbidden spell... Abyss Break... // Four elements... Fire... Water... Wind... Earth...) // Elfman!!! How many of the Element Four are left?!!
Elfman: Huh?! // Uhhh... There are two left... I think?
Mirajane: As I thought... when you beat this guy up, the giant's movements became slower.
Elfman: What?!!
Mirajane: In other words, the giant's power source is the four elements!!!! // If we defeat all of the Element Four, we can prevent the spell!!!!

10
Elfman: Really?!!
Mirajane: Quickly!!! They must be somewhere inside this giant!!!
Elfman: Y... yeah!!!
Kana: Whew... it looks like Mira's all right.
Dude: Kana!!!
Kana: (D - don't worry about all that... the important thing is the enemies right before us... we must protect Fairy Tail!!!!)
Dude: (She's pushing herself too hard...... // But honestly, I wonder why it is... all the women in our guild are so damn strong...)

11
Natsu: I've got a good idea, Happy!!!
Happy: What?!
Natsu: If we beat up Jose, this whole battle will be over, right?
[TN: lol, he thinks EXACTLY like Luffy...]
Happy: What are you saying?!!! // Jose's magic is as powerful as our Master's!!! // There's no way you could beat that guy, Natsu!!!
Natsu: But the old guy's not around!!! So who's gonna beat up Jose?!!!
Happy: You idiot, Natsu! You've got me remembering all the stuff you've done as though you weren't thinking...!!!
Natsu: Eh?!

12
Happy: That's right... Master and Elza aren't around... // This battle... in the end, someone's going to have to take out Jose...
Natsu: But I'm here, aren't I?!!!!
Happy: ......
Natsu: Right?!
Happy: (I wonder why...? Even though Master and Elza have more powerful magic... // There's just something about Natsu that gives you hope...) // Aye!

13
Happy: !!
Aria: How sad...
Natsu: Eh?!!
Aria: When the wings of flame rot and fall away... // Yes... all that doth remain is a dragon's corpse.
Natsu: Huh?
Happy: Natsu... This guy's one of the Element Four!!!!

14
Aria: I am called Aria... pinnacle of the Element Four. // I have come to slay the Dragon.
Gray: Hm? // Rain... // ...was it raining before?
Lluvia: Pitter patter...
Gray: !!

15
Lluvia: Yes... Lluvia, the Woman of Rain, of the Element Four. // Pitter patter...
Gray: Element Four...
Lluvia: To think that you could defeat two of the Elements. // However, Lluvia and Aria are not to be taken lightly.

16
Gray: Sorry, but it doesn't matter if you're a woman or even a child... // I don't go easy on anybody who hurts my nakama.
Lluvia: Y... yes... I have lost this battle... Farewell.
Gray: Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!! The hell's with that?!!!!

17
Lluvia: (Ahh... Lluvia... are you somehow afflicted...? // This pitter-patter in the chest...)
[TN: No, she didn't actually use her "pitter-patter" catchphrase there... but it was too perfect :p]
Gray: Wait up, woman!!! You can damn well stop this giant!!!
Lluvia: (I must make him mine...!!! // Lluvia... there is no turning back!!!) // WATER ROCK!!!!
Gray: *glug*

18
Gray: Ugh...
Lluvia: Ahh!!! How could I wound him so?!!! // Wh - what action should I take?!!!! I must release him at once!!!
Gray: Nghhhhh... // AAAAAAGH!!!!

19
Lluvia: ...... // (He... he froze it and shattered it apart... Lluvia was so sure her Water Rock could never be broken...... // He and I... is this some kind of fate...?!!)
[TN: "He" and "I" are given the kanji for "Ice" and "Water" respectively.]
Gray: Huh... ya got me good there, didn't ya......
Lluvia: Ahhh!
Gray: Ugh...
Lluvia: (Wh... why...? Why is he removing his clothing?!! M - my - my heart... my heart is not prepared for this...)

20
Gray: Ice Make / LANCE!!!! // Huh?
[TN: lol Logia]

21
Lluvia: Lluvia's body is formed of the rain itself... // Pitter patter...
Gray: Water?!!
Lluvia: (Just now... he assaulted me... yes... this man is an enemy!!! // Lluvia must be strong...!!! This is a war!!!)

22
Lluvia: Farewell, sweet flower of love!!!! // WATER SLICER!!!!
Gray: The hell's this woman saying?!!! // GUAAAAAAH!!!! // Ugh... // Ice Make...

23
Gray: BATTLE AXE!!!! // Tch...
Lluvia: It is impossible for you to defeat Lluvia. / There is still time for you to be saved.
[TN: Er... "Impossible", my ass. He could just freeze the bitch. And probably will.]

24
Lluvia: I request that you bring Lucy to me. / If you do so, I shall speak with our Master and convince him to withdraw.
Gray: Oi... Quit sayin' screwed up things. // Both sides have come too far to just stop fightin' now. // Lucy's our nakama. // I won't hand her over even if I die!

25
Lluvia: (...even if I die... // ...even if I die... // ...even if I die... // ...even if I die... // ...love... // ...love... // ...love... // ...A rival in love!!!!)
Gray: !
Lluvia: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

26
Lluvia: LLUVIA CANNOT FORGIVE THIS!!!! // LLUVIA SHALL NEVER FORGIVE LUCY!!!!
Gray: Ahh!!! // Boiling water?!! // ...and why's she mad at Lucy?!

[TN: The actual name of the next chapter is "Teru-Teru Bouzu". They're a kind of paper doll that are traditionally hung outside a window. Hanging them right-way-up is supposed to bring sunny weather; upside-down brings rain.]
