**[00:12] Chief Maiden**
What's going on?
It's gotten cold all of a sudden!
**[00:15] Maiden A**
Chief of the White Shrine Maidens,
it's snowing in the village!
**[00:18] Faris**
Is this another anomaly caused
by the surge of magical energy?
**[00:21] Wendy**
No. Both Gray-san and the
enemy's powers are ice element.
**[00:26] Wendy**
That must be affecting it.
***SIGN*** This Hideous World
**[02:11] Gray**
Ice Make Lance!
**[02:18] Gray**
My ice is freezing?!
**[02:20] Hakune**
Did I not tell you?
**[02:22] Hakune**
I can freeze magical energy itself.
**[02:28] Hakune**
A wizard has no chance against me.
**[02:34] Hakune**
What's that?
**[02:36] Gray**
The power of a demon.
**[02:42] Hakune**
I see.
**[02:44] Hakune**
So you're converting your magical energy
**[02:45] Hakune**
so that my Art of Freezing Spirit
is half as effective.
**[02:48] Hakune**
Then let's not resort to cheap tricks.
**[02:52] Hakune**
Snow Wave!
**[02:55] Gray**
An avalanche?!
**[02:59] Hakune**
He froze the snow?!
**[03:01] Gray**
Ice Devil's Zero Destruction Bow!
**[03:08] Gray**
You can even freeze this, too?
**[03:11] Hakune**
Both of us freeze each others' attacks.
**[03:14] Hakune**
You're one tough opponent.
**[03:18] Gray**
That's my line.
**[03:20] Hakune**
However, I do know your weakness.
**[03:24] Gray**
What?
**[03:25] Hakune**
Come now, sleep...
**[03:29] Hakune**
Embraced by a world of white.
**[03:32] Hakune**
Sleep now in the light of snow.
**[03:39] Gray**
Crap, I'm fading out.
**[03:42] Hakune**
Come now... go to sleep.
**[03:56] Gray**
Where am I?
**[03:58] Juvia**
Gray-sama!
**[04:00] Gray**
Juvia!
**[04:01] Juvia**
Jeez! Juvia was so worried, since you
were asleep for such a long time!
**[04:07] Gray**
What's going on?
**[04:09] Gray**
I was fighting the snow woman...
**[04:11] Juvia**
Snow "woman"?
**[04:14] Juvia**
My love rival!
**[04:16] Gray**
No, you're wr—
**[04:17] Greige**
Mommy, what are you doing?
**[04:24] Juvia**
Oh, Greige!
**[04:26] Juvia**
Y-Your mommy and daddy
weren't doing anything naughty.
**[04:32] Gray**
Mommy? Daddy?!
**[04:34] Greige**
Good morning, Daddy.
**[04:37] Gray**
"Daddy"?
**[04:38] Gray/I**
*Is this a dream?*
**[04:41] Gray/I**
*She's making me hallucinate?*
**[04:46] Greige**
Everyone's here already.
**[04:47] Gray**
H-Hey...
**[04:50] Gray**
"Everyone"?
**[04:54] Silver**
How long were you going to sleep, Gray?
**[04:57] Gray/I**
*This is a dream.*
**[05:00] Greige**
Grandpa.
**[05:02] Silver**
Ah, good boy.
**[05:04] Juvia**
Greige really loves his grandpa, doesn't he?
**[05:07] Gray/I**
*It's a dream.*
**[05:09] Ultear**
You've grown, Greige.
**[05:12] Greige**
Aunt Ultear.
**[05:14] Ultear**
You mean "Big Sister."
**[05:16] Gray/I**
*It's a dream...*
**[05:19] Ur**
I think you're getting
a bit too old for a "big sister."
**[05:21] Ultear**
And you think *you* aren't dressing
too young for your age, Mom?
**[05:27] Ur**
I *am* young, you know?
**[05:30] Ultear**
With a daughter my age?
**[05:33] Gray**
Ur...
**[05:35] Gray/I**
*It's a dream. A dream!*
**[05:37] Ur**
Come on, sit down.
**[05:40] Ur**
Everyone gathered here
because it's your birthday.
**[05:43] Silver**
Ultear-chan, have you
got yourself a boyfriend?
**[05:46] Ultear**
Uncle, you need to stop with the flirting.
**[05:49] Gray/I**
*It's a dream.*
**[05:54] Silver**
Gray is our treasure!
**[05:57] Silver**
Thank you, la la la, for being born!
**[06:01] Ultear**
Stop it.
**[06:03] Greige**
What a weird song.
**[06:04] Gray**
This is just a dream...
**[06:07] Juvia**
But you can stay here forever.
**[06:10] Juvia**
Be in this happy moment forever.
**[06:15] Gray**
I want to... stay here...
**[06:19] Juvia**
Let's stay here forever, Gray-sama.
**[06:23] Gray**
But I can't.
**[06:25] Juvia**
Huh?
**[06:27] Gray**
This is the happy world I dream of.
**[06:31] Gray**
It's not right.
**[06:33] Gray**
It's not!
**[06:39] Hakune**
What?!
**[06:41] Hakune**
My Dream of Snow, Moon,
and Flowers was broken?!
**[06:45] Gray**
It's not my happiness I'm after.
**[06:49] Gray**
What I want is to make Juvia happy.
**[06:52] Hakune**
Curse you!
**[06:54] Hakune**
Diamond Titan!
**[06:58] Gray**
You think you can beat me with Maker Magic?
**[07:02] Gray**
Ice Make Heavy Knights!
**[07:07] Hakune**
This level of ice in an instant?!
**[07:13] Chief Maiden**
What are those?!
**[07:14] Faris**
Giants made of ice?!
**[07:16] Wendy**
It's Gray-san's magic!
**[07:18] Happy**
I didn't know he could
make stuff like that now.
**[07:21] Charle**
He is Natsu's rival.
**[07:23] Charle**
Of course he's strong.
**[07:26] Touka**
Incredible!
**[07:27] Chief Maiden**
Is he trying to destroy the village?!
**[07:29] Chief Maiden**
Even though he's a hunk?!
**[07:34] Hakune**
I-I'm losing ground?
**[07:51] Maiden A**
He won!
**[07:52] Maiden B**
Yes!
**[07:53] Faris**
I knew they were strong... Fairy Tail!
**[07:59] Touka**
What's this?
**[08:01] Chief Maiden**
Oh no!
**[08:02] Chief Maiden**
Elentear's magical energy is surging!
**[08:05] Happy**
What?!
**[08:07] Chief Maiden**
Even Suzaku-sama was not
able to defeat Selene.
**[08:11] Charle**
Can't you do something?!
**[08:13] Charle**
It's your job to erase
magical energy, isn't it?
**[08:16] Faris**
As long as Selene is here, it's impossible.
**[08:18] Chief Maiden**
For generations, we have whited out,
or erased the excessive magical energy
**[08:24] Chief Maiden**
for the harmony of this world.
**[08:27] Chief Maiden**
But Selene travels across time and space,
**[08:30] Chief Maiden**
and she draws more magical
energy to this world.
**[08:34] Happy**
Why is she doing that?
**[08:37] Chief Maiden**
We don't know what her objective is.
**[08:39] Chief Maiden**
But at this rate, Elentear
will perish without a doubt.
**[08:45] Chief Maiden**
This world will disappear because
of the surge of magical energy.
**[08:53] Maiden 1**
Why is a Hand here?!
**[08:55] Priest 1**
Oh no! It'll call fingernail dirt!
**[08:57] Maiden 2**
My goodness, is that...
**[09:12] Chief Maiden**
Just look at how many Hands there are...
**[09:16] Maiden 1**
It's over.
**[09:18] Maiden 2**
The world is ending.
**[09:21] Touka**
Let's use Aqua Aera
to escape to another world!
**[09:25] Faris**
How many can you take with you?
**[09:27] Wendy**
I've seen this somewhere...
**[09:33] Wendy**
Face from Earthland?!
**[09:37] Wendy**
Face was a weapon of the Magical Council
to erase all magical energy.
**[09:43] Wendy**
And many Hands are appearing
to symbolize the surge of magical energy.
**[09:47] Wendy**
Are they related somehow?
**[09:51] Touka**
No! I can't use Aqua Aera!
**[09:54] Faris**
Magical energy is expanding so much
that the dimension is compressed!
**[09:57] Chief Maiden**
Gods, Lords, and the Chief
of the White Shrine Maidens!
**[10:01] Chief Maiden**
Please save us!
**[10:02] Gray**
The last one was yourself!
**[10:04] Gray**
Calm down!
**[10:05] Chief Maiden**
How can I be calm?!
**[10:07] Chief Maiden**
This world is going to disappear!
**[10:13] Natsu**
I won't let that happen.
**[10:15] Erza**
We just need to take down Selene, right?
**[10:27] Natsu**
We'll stop her for you!
**[10:32] Selene**
The time has come.
**[10:35] Selene**
This world will twist and decay.
**[10:40] Selene**
It's been fun, the one with Kurunugi's sword.
**[10:44] Suzaku**
Negative.
**[10:45] Suzaku**
I am called Suzaku.
**[10:48] Suzaku**
I'm the one who will slay you.
**[10:51] Selene**
It's not a bad idea to be slain
by the sword of Kurunugi.
**[10:56] Selene**
That would be another form of distortion.
**[11:00] Maiden 3**
It's the end of the world!
**[11:01] Priest 2**
Run!
**[11:02] Priest 3**
Are you abandoning our village?
**[11:04] Maiden 4**
Whiteout is useless at this point!
**[11:06] Chief Maiden**
Stop!
**[11:07] Priest 2**
Chief of the White Shrine Maidens!
**[11:09] Chief Maiden**
Now is the time for us, the people of
Whiteout Village, to stand our ground and fight!
**[11:15] Chief Maiden**
It is our duty to use our power to white out
the overflowing magical energy from this world
**[11:19] Chief Maiden**
and restore harmony, is it not?
**[11:22] Priest 2**
That might be so, but
this is getting out of hand!
**[11:25] Priest 3**
There are Hands all over the world!
**[11:27] Faris**
We must not give up hope!
**[11:30] Faris**
Selene is responsible for the magical energy
surge we're experiencing right now.
**[11:34] Faris**
If Selene is defeated, I'm sure it
will calm the magical energy!
**[11:38] Chief Maiden**
That's when we'll use our power of whiteout
**[11:42] Chief Maiden**
to rid the world of magical energy
and save the world!
**[11:47] Touka**
Everyone!
**[11:48] Touka**
I can use Aqua Aera here!
**[11:51] Touka**
Let us go directly to Blackmoon Mountain!
**[11:52] Natsu**
Good! Let's go!
**[11:55] Chief Maiden**
Suzaku-sama and the wizards of Fairy Tail...
**[11:59] Chief Maiden**
Folks not from this world
are fighting for its sake!
**[12:04] Chief Maiden**
So how could we run now?!
**[12:07] Chief Maiden**
We must protect Elentear!
**[12:14] Touka**
I'm sorry, I couldn't get us to the top.
**[12:19] Gray**
No problem, this is good enough!
**[12:22] Lucy**
More importantly...
**[12:25] Wendy**
The Hands are here, too!
**[12:29] Erza**
What are those?
**[12:30] Touka**
They're fingernail dirt.
**[12:32] Touka**
They're what you call monsters in your world!
**[12:35] Happy**
Fingernail dirt?!
**[12:37] Charle**
Sounds filthy.
**[12:39] Lucy**
If the Hands that are all over this world
continue to spawn monsters like this...
**[12:45] Natsu**
We've got to stop them now.
**[12:47] Natsu**
Let's head to the top, Happy!
**[12:49] Happy**
Aye, sir!
**[12:51] Gray**
Oh, hey!
**[12:52] Gray**
He just took off on his own again.
**[12:56] Lucy**
Let us climb the mountain, too!
**[12:57] Erza**
Yes. But we must deal with
these monsters first.
**[13:02] Wendy**
I want to examine these Hands a little more.
**[13:05] Charle**
Wendy?
**[13:07] Wendy**
Charle, can you get me closer?
**[13:10] Selene**
I see what you're capable of.
**[13:13] Selene**
As a human, your strength is top class.
**[13:17] Selene**
But no matter how strong you might be, it's
hard to believe that you defeated Kurunugi.
**[13:23] Suzaku**
Affirmative.
**[13:24] Suzaku**
It was my guild master
who actually slayed him.
**[13:27] Suzaku**
The true Dragon Eater, Georg-sama.
**[13:31] Selene**
I see. And you consumed his flesh?
**[13:35] Suzaku**
Affirmative.
**[13:36] Selene**
Good grief.
**[13:38] Selene**
Whatever the reason, it's unthinkable
that Kurunugi would lose to a mere human.
**[13:44] Suzaku**
Question.
**[13:46] Suzaku**
What is your relationship to Kurunugi?
**[13:49] Selene**
What would come of learning that?
**[13:51] Selene**
Well, might as well.
**[13:54] Selene**
The dragon you ate...
**[13:58] Selene**
was one of my sons.
**[14:03] Selene**
I've been wondering what
I should do with you.
**[14:07] Selene**
I think I shall start by gutting you.
**[14:13] Suzaku**
Apologies... won't come!
**[14:16] Suzaku**
Dragons are the nemeses of humans,
so Diabolos shall consume them all!
**[14:24] Suzaku**
Kurunugi Style Battoujutsu...
**[14:27] Selene**
How dare the likes of you
use Kurunugi's power?!
**[14:32] Suzaku**
Abyss.
**[14:35] Suzaku**
This is not Kurunugi's form.
**[14:38] Suzaku**
It's a revised form I created!
**[14:41] Suzaku**
Realm of Death Darkflame Slash!
**[14:53] Selene**
I-Impossible!
**[14:55] Selene**
How could I... be defeated by a mere human?
**[15:00] Selene**
A mere... human...
**[15:09] Suzaku**
You won't get away!
**[15:14] Happy**
Natsu, they're the fingernail dirt.
**[15:17] Happy**
Gosh, there are so many of them!
**[15:21] Natsu**
Out of my way!
**[15:27] Natsu**
Just you wait, Selene.
**[15:29] Natsu**
I will defeat you!
**[15:36] Happy**
We're here, Natsu.
**[15:38] Natsu**
Thanks, Happy!
**[15:40] Happy**
Natsu, look!
**[15:42] Natsu**
Selene?!
**[15:43] Happy**
And Suzaku, too!
**[15:45] Natsu**
You!
**[15:51] Natsu**
Suzaku and Selene disappeared.
**[15:53] Happy**
That sensation...
They teleported to another world.
**[15:58] Natsu**
Selene is gone from this world, but
magical energy is still out of control.
**[16:03] Happy**
It went out of control because of Selene, but
maybe it keeps overflowing once started,
**[16:08] Happy**
regardless of whether Selene is here or not?
**[16:12] Natsu**
What are we supposed to do?!
**[16:15] Happy**
Let's get back to where everyone is!
**[16:17] Natsu**
Right!
**[16:18] Natsu**
I mean, I missed my chance to beat her up!
**[16:21] Natsu**
What happens to the quest?!
**[16:23] Happy**
For now, we need to focus on this situation.
**[16:28] Natsu**
So that's why we came back.
**[16:30] Gray**
What was the point of you going, then?!
**[16:32] Erza**
Natsu!
**[16:34] Lucy**
What about Selene?!
**[16:35] Happy**
She went to another world with Suzaku.
**[16:39] Touka**
But the magical energy
is still out of control?
**[16:43] Gray**
The monsters keep on popping up.
**[16:45] Erza**
There's no end in sight.
**[16:49] Wendy**
This current of magical energy,
the density of Ethernanos...
**[16:53] Charle**
There's no mistaking it.
**[16:55] Wendy**
Everyone, please try to remember!
**[16:59] Wendy**
The Face of Tartarus!
**[17:01] Natsu**
Face?
**[17:03] Lucy**
The Magical Council's weapon?
**[17:04] Wendy**
I've looked into that incident after that.
**[17:08] Wendy**
I wanted to know how they
controlled so many weapons.
**[17:12] Erza**
Tartarus had something like a control device.
**[17:16] Gray**
Are you saying these Hands
are also operated by a human?
**[17:19] Wendy**
No, that would be
the difference from the Face,
**[17:22] Wendy**
as well as the fluctuation of magical energy.
**[17:26] Natsu**
What are you getting at, Wendy?
**[17:28] Charle**
Shut up and listen.
**[17:30] Wendy**
Face and Hand may be different,
but their mechanisms are the same.
**[17:36] Happy**
Mechanisms?
**[17:37] Wendy**
Hands may look like they just
randomly sprout out of the ground,
**[17:42] Wendy**
but I think they're connected underground.
**[17:45] Wendy**
Face was the same.
**[17:47] Charle**
Considering the flow of magical
energy, there's no doubt.
**[17:50] Touka**
But if they are, what of it?
**[17:54] Natsu**
I got it!
**[18:02] Natsu/Lucy/Gray/Erza/Wendy**
Attack the main body!
**[18:06] Lucy**
Gate of the Virgin Palace, I open thee!
**[18:08] Lucy**
Virgo!
**[18:11] Virgo**
Princess, I heard everything.
**[18:13] Virgo**
If I can't get us to the main body,
I will get punished.
**[18:16] Virgo**
Isn't that right?
**[18:18] Lucy**
Were you really listening?
**[18:20] Virgo**
You can count on me!
**[18:25] Natsu**
Let's go!
**[18:27] Gray**
Happy and Charle,
take Touka somewhere safe!
**[18:30] Touka**
But I want to...
**[18:31] Happy**
It's all right!
**[18:32] Happy**
Let's leave it to Natsu and the others.
**[18:35] Erza**
Are you sure this is the right direction?
**[18:37] Virgo**
We're headed to where the Hands'
magical energy is flowing.
**[18:41] Natsu**
By the way, your undies are showing.
**[18:44] Virgo**
Oh no.
**[18:45] Lucy**
Hey, Natsu! Don't you dare!
**[18:48] Gray/I**
*Same goes for you, too.*
**[18:57] Virgo**
What's this?
**[18:58] Wendy**
Is that a part of Hand?
**[18:59] Gray**
Is there more of it underneath?
**[19:01] Erza**
No, this magical energy...
**[19:04] Natsu**
There's something right below it!
**[19:11] Lucy**
What is this?!
**[19:13] Erza**
A monster?
**[19:14] Gray**
It's too huge!
**[19:16] Wendy**
If we can defeat this...
**[19:18] Natsu**
We can stop the magical energy, right?
***SIGN*** What a hideous world.
***SIGN*** Burst forth, magical light.
***SIGN*** Fill the world with magic and destroy it.
**[19:31] Lucy**
I-It's talking?!
**[19:33] Natsu**
Are you causing this rampage?
***SIGN*** What a hideous world.
***SIGN*** I am the source of magical energy in this world: Alta Face.
***SIGN*** The magical energy twisted by the Moon Dragon gave me a will of my own.
***SIGN*** I will fill this world with magical energy and destroy it.
**[19:55] Erza**
The Moon Dragon?
**[19:57] Erza**
You mean Selene!
**[19:58] Gray**
She never does anything good, does she?
**[20:02] Natsu**
We will stop you.
**[20:03] Priest 5**
Evacuate the children!
**[20:06] Maiden 4**
Those who can fight, come to the square!
**[20:08] Priest 4**
Don't let the fingernail dirt
come into the village!
**[20:10] Maiden 5**
Prepare for the whiteout ritual!
**[20:12] Priest 5**
We're the clan that
harmonizes magical energy!
**[20:15] Chief Maiden**
In ancient days, there was
a monster called "catastrophe."
**[20:22] Chief Maiden**
A monster that would produce magical energy
and expand it limitlessly, called Alta Face.
**[20:28] Maidens/Priests**
Alta Face?!
**[20:30] Chief Maiden**
This monster used magical energy
to destroy cities, wipe out the land,
**[20:36] Chief Maiden**
and swallow the ocean.
**[20:38] Chief Maiden**
Our ancestors in Whiteout Village
fought it many times,
**[20:44] Chief Maiden**
and it is said that they sealed Alta Face
deep in the ground over a period of years.
**[20:50] Chief Maiden**
And peace was brought to this land.
**[20:53] Chief Maiden**
But soon, Hands, which you are
all familiar with, started to appear.
**[20:57] Chief Maiden**
The villagers noticed right away
that those were parts of Alta Face.
**[21:02] Chief Maiden**
So they would cut them down
as soon as they found one.
**[21:05] Chief Maiden**
A few hundred years passed, and it became
clear that Hands were not hostile.
**[21:11] Chief Maiden**
Sometimes they would spawn monsters called
fingernail dirt, but even that was rare.
**[21:17] Chief Maiden**
And so, we started to forget
the danger of Alta Face.
**[21:22] Faris**
Ma'am, that story...
**[21:25] Faris**
Are you saying that Elentear is overflowing
with magical energy because of Alta Face?
**[21:33] Chief Maiden**
Indeed.
**[21:35] Chief Maiden**
But as long as it remained sealed,
**[21:38] Chief Maiden**
our power of whiteout was able to
maintain harmony in the land.
**[21:42] Maiden 1**
Th-Then if the Hands
are showing up like this...
**[21:46] Priest 1**
Is it possible that Alta Face was revived?
