Happy: What is this place?!! // Natsu!! Where are you?!
Miriana: Myaa.
Happy: !!!
Miriana: You feeling great?
Happy: ...... // [aside]a catgirl...[/aside] // "Feeling great"?
Miriana: Myaa~!!! It's a talking kitty-cat!!!
Worly: Miria... you should be more dandy.
Miriana: Myaa?
Happy: You...?!!
Worly: It's not a "talking cat"... it's a cat because it talks.
Miriana: Oh, right~!
Happy: What the heck are you going on about?!!!

4
Happy: Where am I?!!! What happened to Natsu?!!
Worly: Hey, little cat. // Your little pal's kissin' the asphalt about now.
Happy: !!! // ...Yeah, like Natsu would be taken out that easily!
Shimon: Worly!!! Miriana!!! / Erza has escaped!!!
Happy: Erza?! // Is she here?
Miriana: Escape~!♡ Brings back memories~!♡
Worly: Get dandy, Shimon. It's not like she can escape the tower.

[side text: Mashima's Ramblings (1) / It's finally time for the 50th Anniversary edition! I can't wait for next week!]
Shimon: I doubt she'll run... // She'll go after Gérard.
Worly: !!!
Shimon: Come on!!!
Miriana: Myaa!!
Worly: Honestly... no matter the era, women are a pain in the ass.
Happy: What on Earth... is going on here...?
Gérard: Ahahahahah!

Vithaldas: Gérard-sama?
Gérard: Hahaha... // Erza really is a good girl. / She entertains me. // Will I prevail? // Will she prevail? // Let's enjoy ourselves. / This match brings life and death, past and future together... // The Paradise Game.
Vithaldas: B - But... I'm a little worried about the Council...

7
[box: Era]
Councillors: R-System is a magic that ignores the eternal law of life and death... / ...one that gave rise to some extremely dangerous ideas. // No matter who is behind its revival, we must consider him our enemy! // The military should be dispatched at once!!!
Sieglein: You fools.
Councillors: ?! // What?!! // Sieg... why, you...!
Sieglein: I'm saying that sending in the military at this stage is absolutely unthinkable! // It's dangerous. // Too dangerous. // You aren't grasping the situation properly!!! // There's only one way we can be sure of destroying the Tower of Paradise without delay!

8
Sieglein: We fire an Aetherion from the Satellite Square!!!!

9
Councillors: Wha - ! // That ultimate space-time destruction magic?!! // Are you insane?!! // Have you considered the casualties?!! That spell has the power to destroy a country!!! // Aetherion is our final resort, our ultimate weapon!!! It's more dangerous than R-System itself!!! // Hmm...
Sieglein: But Satellite Square can target anything and everything on the surface of the Earth. // And it's the only means we have of destroying that monstrous construction.
Urtear: I support... / ...this plan.
Councillors: Urtear!!! You, too...?!
Urtear: There are nine of us altogether. // With three more votes, we can fire the Aetherion!!
Sieglein: There's no time!!! We must prevent them from using the R-System at all costs!!!!

10
Someone: ?!! // AAAAAAAGHHH!!! // IT'S ERZAAAA!!!
Erza: Where is Gérard?!

11
Gray: They sure do have a lot of guards.
Natsu: Screw the guards!! We're going in!!
Lucy: NO!! // They have Erza and Happy captive. / If we're not careful, we could put both of them in danger. // Besides which, the tower itself is still a long way off. We can't afford to be discovered at this point.

12
Lluvia: Lluvia has found a route into the tower basement through the water.
Gray: Seriously?!! Good work!
Lluvia: He praised me. Not you, but me.
Lucy: Yes, yes...
Lluvia: We shall have to proceed underwater for around ten minutes... will you be all right for that long?
Natsu: Yeah, no problem.
Gray: Uh-huh.
Lucy: Yeah, like HELL we will!!!
Lluvia: I suggest that you wear these. // I have embedded oxygen into the water such that you will be able to breathe underwater.
Natsu: Ooh~! // Who are you, anyway?

13
Lucy: These sure are handy, even if they look kind of silly.
Lluvia: I made yours especially small, but you still managed to hold out... impressive.
Lucy: Whoa, whoa...!!!
Gray: So what, we're underneath that big tower?
Lucy: Erza and Happy must be in here somewhere...

14
Guards: Who the hell are you?!!!
Gray: !!!
Lucy: Oh, crap!
Gray: Guess we've got no choice but to fight 'em...
Lluvia: Indeed!!!
Natsu: "Who the hell are you"...?! // You don't even know top-class mages like us?!!!
Guards: Aahhh! // Gahh!

15
Natsu: WE'RE FAIRY TAIL, YOU IDIOTS!!!!

16
Lucy: Ahh! // Open! Gate of the Crab!!! // Cancer!!!
Cancer: It's been a while~ebi!!!

17
Guards: Who? // What is this girl?!!
Lluvia: Water Slicer!!!!

18
Gray: Ice Make: Hammer!!!!
Guards: Aaaaghhh! // Guahh! // Unghhh!

[side text: Mashima's Ramblings (2) / The guitar amp I've been using since I was in high-school has finally given out on me! I'm going to buy a real Marshall.]
Natsu: Hey, a door opened up!!!
Gray: Inviting us inside?
Vithaldas: Gérard-sama, what are you thinking?!! // Drawing the intruders in further...!!!
Gérard: I told you, didn't I? This is a game. / They just cleared a stage, that's all. // Things are getting interesting. / Hahaha!
Vithaldas: But if we do not perform the ceremony soon, we will attract the attention of the Council!
Gérard: Vithaldas... are you still worrying about that?

20
Gérard: We're not going to bother with them.
[insert text: Gérard's machinations steadily move onward! // How can this "Corrupted Paradise" be prevented...?!]
Sieglein: We need two more!!!! There's no time!!!!
Gérard: Not with those Council scum.
[bottom text: Next issue, Fairy Tail takes the magazine cover and a special 23-page chapter including colour pages! To be continued in Chapter 80: "Jeanne D'Arc"!]
