Fairy Tail
Chapter 77 "Gérard"
[insert text: I LOVE RABU // ...just kidding (lol)]
[TN: The "rabu" is a pun - it's pronounced the same way as the word "love", and it's also an invented compound (at least, I hope it's invented... >_<) meaning "naked dancing".]

Lucy: Nnnnngh! // Uuuuaaangh!
[insert text: Erza abducted! What is the true form of the malice lurking behind this violence?!]
Lucy: O... Open... Gate of... the... // ...Crab...
[insert text: ...wait a minute, forget about that, Lucy's in real trouble!!!]
Lucy: H... huh? // Cancer!!! // Tauros!!! Loki!!! Get out here!!!

3
Lucy: Aanhh! // (I can't use... // ...my magic?!!) // Unghh... // (It just keeps getting tighter...) // Oww! // ?!
KnifeGuy: A - Ahh, I'm sorry.

4
KnifeGuy: I was just wondering how to get out of here, and I started poking around with my pocket-knife...
Butler: Hohoh...
Bunnygirl: Let me out~!
KnifeGuy: It looks like I nicked you there...
Lucy: With a knife... from inside a card?!
KnifeGuy: so close!
Lucy: Wait!! / I don't get the logic behind it, but... / You can influence the outside world from inside those cards?!!
KnifeGuy: ...Does it look to you as though this knife is sticking out of the card?
Lucy: No... it still looks flat. / But I definitely felt it prick me, so the effect at least is escaping the card!! // Please!!! Could you try cutting these ropes for me?!!!
KnifeGuy: Ahhh! / O - Okay, I'll give it a shot...
Lucy: Aaahh! // Hurry!!!

5
Lucy: Nnnnhhhhh! // Ahh!
KnifeGuy: Could you stop making those odd noises?!
Lucy: Just hurry, okay?!!!
KnifeGuy: I'm through!!! // Whew...
Lucy: Thank you!! You saved my neck there...
KnifeGuy: You're welcome... / Now, if you could return the favour...
[sFX: *kiss*♥]
KnifeGuy: Ahhh!

6
Lucy: Sorry!!! I'll come back for you later, okay?!!!
CardGuy: Yeeees~!♥
Lucy: Natsu~!!! // Gra~y!!! // !!!! // Gray... // No...! // No way!!! // Hey!!! Come on!!!

7
Lucy: Eh?! // Aaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!
Lluvia: Please, do not worry...
Lucy: Ahh! // Y - You're...?!!

8
Lluvia: Gray-sama was safe here inside Lluvia.
Gray: Buahh!
Lucy: In - inside... // Ahah... // Ahahah...
Lluvia: Inside me, not you!
[TN: I think that deserves the luls. XD]
Lucy: Y - yes, quite...
Gray: The place went dark all of a sudden... / So I made a body substitute to buy a little time, scope out the situation...
Lluvia: And so that the trick would not be exposed, Lluvia used her Water Lock to protect Gray-sama!
Gray: ...Which was completely unnecessary! You let them get away!
Lluvia: *Gaaah!*

9
Gray: What about Natsu and Erza?
Lucy: I don't know about Natsu... // But Erza......
Gray: !!!

10
Natsu: OWIIIIIIIIIE!!!!
Lucy: Natsu!!!
Natsu: Buahh! // Who the hell shoots lead balls into people's mouths?!! / HUH?!! // That freaking HURT!!! I could've been really injured, y'know!!!!
Lucy: Yes, well, I think a normal person would be more than injured...
Natsu: Damn that square punk...!!

11
Natsu: YOU'RE NOT GETTIN' AWAAAAAAAAAY!!!!
Gray: After him!!!
Lucy: But it's not like any of us know where they -
Gray: That guy's nose is better than any animal's!
Natsu: GUAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!

12
HairDude: Gérard-sama. // Word has reached us regarding the Erza operation. / It seems her capture was successful. // But still... why bring in that traitor now of all times?

13
HairDude: With your level of magical prowess, you could have got rid of her at any time...
Gérard: Hahah... // Hahahah... / That's just no good. // This world does not entertain me.
HairDude: Ahh... // ?
Gérard: However, now that the Tower of Paradise is complete... // ...it would be troublesome to leave her alive any longer. // The time has come.

14
Gérard: You shall be the sacrifice that allows my dreams to be realised... // ...Erza Scarlet.
[box: Gérard]
Erza: Nnh... // !!!

15
Erza: Ugh... // Where is this place?!
Shou: You're on a ship, Nee-san.
Erza: Shou. // A ship?
Shou: That's right... a ship headed for the Tower of Paradise.
Erza: ...... // I see... // So that's how it is... // Could you untie my bonds? I won't resist.
Shou: Not that easy, I'm afraid. // You're a traitor, after all.
Erza: Ugh!

16
Shou: It's no use. Miriana's "Tube" has the ability to seal magic. // No matter how good you are, Nee-san, you can't do a thing without that.
Erza: All - all right... Then, could you at least let me Ex-Quip into my armour...? // I'm scared...... // ...of going back to that tower... // If I'm not wearing my armour... // I get uneasy...
Shou: Oh, but I think those clothes suit you, Nee-san.

17
Erza: Shou...
Shou: Truth is, I didn't want to have to do this... // I truly wanted... // ...to see you again... // Nee-san... // Why... // Why did you betray us...

18
Shou: ...betray Gérard?!!!!
Erza: Gérard...
Flashback!Shou: Nee-san!! This way!! // Quick!!
Flashback!Worly: Shou!!! Don't shout so freakin' loud!!!
Miriana: Worly, you're being even louder... myaa...
World: Heheh... sorry 'bout that, Miriana.

19
Flashback!Shimon: Erza... If we don't hurry up, they're gonna catch us!
Flashback!Erza: Y - Yeah... // And - and if... If they ever found us... // I... I know what happens to the kids they find...
Flashback!Gérard: Don't worry... there's no need to be scared.
Flashback!Erza: ...... // Gérard......
Flashback!Gérard: We're gonna get it, you'll see... our "freedom". // Our future, and our dreams...

20
[insert text: In the midst of these revived memories... the clear eyes of Gérard!!]
Flashback!Gérard: Let's go. // Erza.
[insert text: This is... a time before the flower of malice took root in his heart...!!!]
Flashback!Erza: Yeah!

[EDIT: After a little research that I should probably have done before posting these translations... I've revised the names slightly. The "bad guy" is clearly supposed to be "Gérard", not "Gerarl" as I had rendered him... I'm not familiar with katakana-isation of French names. ~_~ "Worly" could just as easily be "Wally" (and to be honest, that's probably the intended reading...) but I'm gonna stick with mine because Wally is a silly name :p And Shimon should probably be spelt "Simon", but I'm going to leave it as is so people don't mispronounce it in the more common English fashion ~_~]
