[00:02] Touka
    Now's your chance.
[00:04] Touka
    Before she comes back to the surface...!
[00:09] Jellal
    What's going on?!
[00:11] Touka
    You plan to get in my way, Touka?
[00:15] Touka
    Please do not hurt
     anyone else, White Mage...!
[00:21] Gajeel
    You're under arrest!
[00:23] Lily
    Gajeel! Restrain her with iron, now!
[00:27] Brandish
    I just happened to be passing by.
[00:30] Brandish
    He seemed to be in trouble, so I shrank him.
[00:33] Lucy
    You...!
[00:35] Brandish
    It's been a while, Lucy.
[00:40] Erza
    You deserve a thorough thank-you
    for how you treated me.
[00:44] Erza
    But attacking a foe in their sleep
    is an act unbefitting a knight.
[00:52] Brandish
    I simply enlarged the rocks
    at the bottom of the ocean.
[00:56] Natsu
    Time for a counterattack!
[00:58] Erza
    I can halve the effect of magic
    cast through eye contact.
[01:02] Kiria
    Being submissive suits you,
    but this feisty you has its charms.
[01:11] Kiria
    Didn't I tell you?
[01:13] Kiria
    There is nothing I cannot cut.
[01:16] Erza
    No matter what you may cut...
[01:19] Erza
    You can never sever the bond of friendship.
[01:22] Madmole
    Armor Dragon's Steel-Fist Strike!
[01:25] Natsu
    Fire Dragon's Iron Punch!
[01:30] Wendy
    Natsu-san!
[01:31] Madmole
    The scales of the Armor Dragon would never...
[01:36] Natsu
    No matter how mighty your armor
    might be, can it withstand heat?
[01:45] Natsu
    Burn!
[01:47] Natsu
    Fire Dragon King's Purgatory!
SIGN    A Bitter Choice
[03:44] Wendy
    Natsu-san... um, my clothes...!
[03:51] Lucy
    Gate of the Gemini, I open thee!
[04:06] Lucy
    The clothes of the Celestial World!
[04:08] Charle
    Don't you dare dress Wendy in a weird outfit.
[04:11] Wendy
    Lucy-san! Charle!
[04:15] Happy
    We're here, too!
[04:17] Gray
    Yeah!
[04:18] Natsu
    Gray!
[04:24] Gray
    It'd be a disgrace to the name of Fairy Tail
    if I stayed beaten down.
[04:28] Gray
    Let me take this guy.
[04:31] Skullion
    Madmole.
[04:34] Wendy
    No way... After he took
    Natsu-san's attack, he can still...
[04:45] Kiria
    What's this... heat?
[04:47] Erza
    It's Natsu's fire.
[04:49] Kiria
    The ship... no, even my clothes are melting!
[04:54] Kiria
    Why aren't yours melting?!
[04:56] Erza
    Because this is the Fire Empress's Armor,
    with high resistance to fire.
[05:02] Kiria
    Nice...
[05:04] Kiria
    I love this fire.
[05:07] Kiria
    We'll be feasting on this!
[05:16] Erza
    You who devour dragons...
[05:20] Erza
    Now it's time for you
    to be devoured by Natsu!
[05:27] Erza
    Fire Empress's Soaring Fire Blade!
[05:37] Natsu
    Erza!
[05:38] Skullion
    Kiria!
[05:48] Kiria
    Put me down, darn it!
[05:52] Skullion
    I didn't expect you to be this strong.
[05:56] Kiria
    I'll cut you all into bits!
[05:59] Madmole
    Kiria, calm yourself, cha.
[06:01] Natsu
    Stay away from the Water Dragon God.
[06:03] Natsu
    We'll take care of him.
[06:05] Skullion
    "Take care"?
[06:07] Skullion
    You mean you'll kill him.
[06:08] Skullion
    How is that different
    from us trying to eat him?
[06:11] Natsu
    We won't kill him.
[06:13] Natsu
    We'll find a way.
[06:16] Skullion
    Interesting.
[06:18] Skullion
    But what we want isn't the Water
    Dragon God who lost his power.
[06:23] Skullion
    We're after the White Mage
    who has taken that power.
[06:28] Skullion
    So long as there are dragons,
    we'll consume them.
[06:32] Skullion
    You cannot stop us.
[06:34] Gray
    Oh, yeah? Looks like two of you guys
    are out of commission, though.
[06:38] Kiria
    How dare you?!
[06:40] Skullion
    I will admit that the odds are against us.
[06:42] Skullion
    If we were talking about
    just us three, that is.
[06:46] Lucy
    There are more of you?
[06:47] Madmole
    I've told you, cha.
[06:49] Madmole
    We're a guild of Dragon Eaters.
[06:52] Skullion
    There are plenty more of us.
[07:01] Skullion
    But for now, we'll retreat.
[07:04] Skullion
    If you plan on chasing after dragons,
    I'm sure our paths will cross again.
[07:10] Skullion
    That's when you'll see...
[07:14] Skullion
    the true terror of Diabolos.
[07:23] Lucy
    A guild exclusively for Dragon Eaters.
[07:27] Natsu
    They left their own ship behind.
[07:31] Charle
    Silly, aren't they?
[07:35] Happy
    What?!
[07:37] Natsu
    Wh-What is it?!
[07:39] Lucy
    The ship's turning into ash?
[07:49] Lucy
    That ship was made of ash?
[07:51] Erza
    So he can use Ash Make Magic?
[07:54] Gray
    That can't be Make Magic!
[07:57] Gray/I
    There can't be Make Magic so elaborate...
[08:00] Happy
    What do we do next?
[08:02] Natsu
    Let's just get back to the old man
    Water Dragon God dude.
[08:05] Lucy
    He's an "old man" in your eyes?
[08:08] Charle
    But the thing is...
[08:09] (Flashback) Karameel
    Get the hell out, now!
[08:11] Natsu
    It'll be just fine!
[08:13] Natsu
    We chased the bad guys away, and we're not
    going to kill the Water Dragon God.
[08:17] Lucy
    Well, aren't you positive...
[08:26] Karameel
    Holy Water Dragon!
[08:35] Karameel
    Holy Water Dragon, I don't think
    you should get up yet...
[08:40] Karameel
    What's going on?
[08:44] Mercphobia
    Run...!
[08:50] Lucy
    Isn't this obviously beyond capacity?
[08:55] Erza
    Gray, can't you make a boat with ice?
[08:58] Gray
    I can, but it'll be in shape only,
    as you should know.
[09:01] Wendy
    So it won't be operational.
[09:05] Happy
    Hey, we can just fly, can't we?
[09:08] Charle
    I suppose.
[09:11] Charle
    Why were we cramped up in there?
[09:16] Lucy
    What's the matter?
[09:20] Natsu
    Something's wrong with Ermina.
[09:22] Wendy
    Smoke?
[09:25] Happy
    Maybe something happened?
[09:27] Natsu
    Let's go, Happy!
[09:29] Happy
    Aye, sir!
[09:30] Wendy
    Charle!
[09:31] Charle
    I know!
[09:32] Erza
    We must hurry as well.
[09:34] Gray
    Yeah!
[09:34] Lucy
    Okay!
[09:46] Kashima
    No way!
[09:47] Kashima
    Sharkette-san, are you all right?!
[09:49] Sharkette
    Kashima-san!
[09:52] Kashima
    Sharkette-san!
[10:04] Kashima
    Y-You...!
[10:07] Natsu
    What happened here?
[10:09] Kashima
    Well...
[10:44] Natsu
    A dragon?!
[10:45] Happy
    What's going on?
[10:47] Charle
    Could it be...
[10:49] Wendy
    The Water Dragon God?
[10:50] Natsu
    He's bigger than Igneel.
[10:52] Happy
    This is the dragon they call a "god."
[11:03] Erza
    Get the people in town to safety.
[11:06] Kashima
    No way!
[11:07] Gray
    Just do it!
[11:09] Lucy
    But why would he...?
[11:11] Lucy
    I thought he said his power was stolen!
[11:15] Karameel
    It is my fault.
[11:18] Karameel
    The Holy Water Dragon turned
    into this because of me.
[11:22] Erza
    Karameel.
[11:25] Gray
    What do you mean by that?
[11:29] Karameel
    I'm the one who let the White Mage
    take the Holy Water Dragon's power.
[11:40] (Flashback) Mercphobia
    Ermina is underwater longer and longer.
[11:43] (Flashback) Karameel
    Is that a problem?
[11:49] (Flashback) Karameel
    The locals don't seem to know
    if they're humans or fish.
[11:54] (Flashback) Mercphobia
    And that's not a good thing.
[11:56] (Flashback) Mercphobia
    I want them to have normal lives.
[12:01] (Flashback) Mercphobia
    I can no longer control my power.
[12:09] (Flashback) Mercphobia
    Next time Elefseria sends a wizard
    after me, perhaps I should give up my life.
[12:16] (Flashback) Karameel
    That's absurd!
[12:19] (Flashback) Karameel
    You can't try to solve a problem
    at the expense of someone's life!
[12:22] (Flashback) Mercphobia
    But this power could eventually hurt you.
[12:27] (Flashback) Karameel
    I don't care.
[12:28] (Flashback) Karameel
    It's the life you saved.
[12:31] (Flashback) Mercphobia
    If I take it away, then what was
    the point of my saving you?
[12:38] (Flashback) Mercphobia
    It would also rob my life
    of its very purpose.
[12:45] Karameel
    That's when I heard rumors
    of the White Magic Cult.
[12:50] Karameel
    I heard they had the power to remove strong
    Magical energy and turn everything white.
[12:57] Karameel
    I begged them to take the power
    of the Holy Water Dragon.
[13:01] Karameel
    I thought that if he didn't have his power,
    the town would return to normal,
[13:06] Karameel
    and he would become a regular human being.
[13:10] Touka
    Very well. I shall grant you your wish.
[13:17] Karameel
    But...
[13:25] Karameel
    I was wrong.
[13:44] Karameel
    As you saw, the town didn't change back.
[13:47] Karameel
    And the Holy Water Dragon's power
    continued to spiral out of control.
[13:51] Natsu
    But why?
[13:52] Lucy
    Does that mean the White Mage
    didn't take his power after all?
[13:56] Karameel
    Oh, she did take his power.
[13:59] Karameel
    But it wasn't the magical energy itself.
[14:04] Karameel
    What the White Mage took from the Holy
    Water Dragon was "the power to control."
[14:10] Karameel
    The White Mage can manipulate another's
    magical energy from zero to max at her will.
[14:19] Gajeel
    Looks like you're up.
[14:24] Jellal
    Which Touka are you right now?
[14:37] Touka
    I-It is me, not the White Mage.
[14:41] Gajeel
    Well, then. You wanna explain what's going on?
[14:45] Juvia
    Tell us why you deceived us!
[14:47] Levy
    What was your purpose in coming to Fairy Tail?
[14:50] Jellal
    The White Mage said it was to erase
    too much magical energy... didn't you?
[14:58] Touka
    I...
[15:01] Touka
    It is true that I wanted to see Natsu-sama.
[15:05] Touka
    But I also heard that there was
    an expert on Enchantment Magic.
[15:10] Jellal
    You mean Wendy?
[15:12] Touka
    That's right.
[15:13] Touka
    I was hoping that she might know
    how to cast Separation Enchantment.
[15:18] Gajeel
    What's that?
[15:20] Touka
    My body has been taken over
    by the White Mage.
[15:24] Touka
    With Separation Enchantment Magic,
    I thought maybe I could drive her out of me.
[15:34] Touka
    So I...
[15:39] Touka
    Would you stop giving away
    my secrets, Touka?
[15:48] Jellal
    Is that you, White Mage?
[15:58] Touka
    Touka doesn't know this,
[16:00] Touka
    but this high enchanter happens
    to be near my servant right now.
[16:06] Touka
    Why don't we dispose of her,
    Holy Water Dragon?
[16:12] Touka
    Well then... You all need to be dyed white.
[16:16] Touka
    You shall be my servants.
[16:20] Gray
    So are you saying that the Water Dragon God
    is remotely controlled by the White Mage?
[16:25] Karameel
    It's all my fault...
[16:33] Karameel
    I'm begging you.
[16:36] Karameel
    Please kill the Holy Water Dragon
    and end his suffering.
[16:42] Karameel
    With your dragon-slaying power...
[16:46] (Flashback) Mercphobia
    Next thing I knew, I had chosen
    the path of coexistence.
[17:09] Karameel
    I beg of you.
[17:11] Karameel
    Please release the Holy Water
    Dragon from his suffering...
[17:25] (Flashback) Mercphobia
    No, you should seal me.
[17:27] (Flashback) Mercphobia
    Treat them with respect from here on.
[17:29] (Flashback) Mercphobia
    I must retake my power and restore this town.
[17:33] (Flashback) Mercphobia
    I can't die until I do.
[17:36] Natsu
    But he's... a good guy.
[17:40] Karameel
    That's exactly why I can't bear to see
    the Holy Water Dragon hurt people.
[17:46] Karameel
    You came here to slay him, didn't you?!
[17:51] Natsu
    First you relied on the White Mage,
    and now you come to us.
[17:55] Natsu
    You're awfully selfish, aren't you?!
[17:57] Lucy
    Hey, Natsu!
[17:58] Happy
    Stop it.
[17:59] Karameel
    Because I'm not a wizard!
[18:02] Karameel
    If I could use magic—
[18:04] Erza
    Enough.
[18:09] Gray
    Now's not the time to argue.
[18:11] Wendy
    We must find a way.
[18:13] Natsu
    But how?
[18:16] Natsu
    He's... he's a good guy.
[18:20] Charle
    We all know that.
[18:23] Charle
    But you said it yourself.
[18:25] Charle
    If he hurts our friends, even a scratch...
[18:29] (Flashback) Natsu
    I'll slay them. No excuse!
[18:33] Charle
    As it stands, neither we nor
    the people in town will survive.
[18:41] Charle
    We have to do it.
[18:44] Charle
    Even if it hurts!
[18:47] (Flashback) Mercphobia
    I've been waiting for someone
    who could kill me.
[18:58] Karameel
    Please...
[19:12] Natsu
    Let's go!
[19:14] All
    Yeah!
[19:15] Wendy
    Erza-san, Lucy-san, Gray-san, I'll add
    the Dragon Slayer Attribute to your magic!
[19:21] Wendy
    Dragon Slayer Seal!
[19:24] Erza
    Now our magic can damage dragons.
[19:34] Natsu
    Fire Dragon King's Demolishing Strike!
[19:39] Gray
    Ice Cannon!
[19:47] Erza
    Requip: Tenrin Armor!
[19:51] Erza
    Tenrin: Blumenblatt!
[19:56] Lucy
    Star Dress!
[19:59] Lucy
    Gate of the Archer, I open thee!
[20:02] Lucy
    Sagittarius!
[20:04] Sagittarius
    Moshi Moshi!
[20:05] Lucy
    Star Shot!
[20:22] Wendy
    Sky Dragon's Roar!
[20:38] Happy
    He dove into the sea?!
[20:46] Erza
    What is this sound?
[20:59] Lucy
    What?
[21:11] Erza
    The sea's in the sky?!
[21:13] Gray
    What the heck is going on?!
[21:29] Lucy
    What used to be the ocean is dried up...
[21:37] Wendy
    So this is a dragon called a god.
[22:01] Touka
    And with that, another "black" bud
    has been nipped.
[22:07] Touka
    Fairy Tail is now dyed white!
