Previously on Fairy Tail:
**[00:03] ---**
Aye, sir!
**[00:04] ---**
The S Class Wizard Advancement
Exam has finally started!
**[00:07] ---**
Both Erza and Mira passed this exam to
become S Class Wizards, didn't they?
**[00:11] ---**
I'm all fired up!
**[00:13] ---**
And the first test finished, but...
**[00:15] ---**
It was hard right off the bat.
**[00:17] ---**
So, what was the second test again?
**[00:19] ---**
It was searching for the
founding Master, Mavis's grave.
**[00:23] ---**
But a weirdo went and barged in on us!
**[00:26] ---**
You're gettin' in the way
of the exam, damn you!
**[02:11] ---**
By the way, Erza-san... What
kind of magic does Mest-san use?
**[02:15] ---**
Ah yes, I suppose you aren't yet aware.
**[02:18] ---**
Mest uses... Uh, that! You know...
**[02:22] ---**
You don't know either, Erza-san?
**[02:26] ---**
What do you mean that Mest might
not be a member of the guild?
**[02:30] ---**
It was just a hunch at first.
But the strange thing is,
**[02:34] ---**
the more doubts I have, the more
clear my knowledge of Mest becomes.
**[02:39] ---**
Huh? I don't follow you in the slightest.
**[02:44] ---**
It's unnatural.
**[02:46] ---**
The knowledge I have of him, even
though I just joined the guild...
**[02:51] ---**
His name is Mest Gryder.
**[02:54] ---**
He is the disciple of Mystogan, the Prince.
**[02:57] ---**
He was chosen to take the S Class Exam
last year, but unfortunately failed.
**[03:03] ---**
That's all.
**[03:04] ---**
Any other information on
him is cloudy and vague...
**[03:08] ---**
See why I told her not to
partner with that weirdo!
**[03:11] ---**
Anyway, we must hurry!
Wendy might be in danger!
**[03:15] ---**
I've never seen this kind of flower before!
**[03:18] ---**
Mest-san, look!
**[03:23] ---**
I want to know! I want to know what
these strange flowers taste like!
**[03:28] ---**
Please don't eat the flowers!
**[03:32] ---**
Hey, Natsu... Aren't we heading to the top?
**[03:36] ---**
I'd like to...
**[03:38] ---**
But I ain't gonna be satisfied
until I give that bastard
**[03:41] ---**
who did this to Igneel's
scarf a taste of my fist!
**[03:43] ---**
So... You're gonna search for the grave
while also searching for that guy?
**[03:47] ---**
Just choose one or the other...
**[03:49] ---**
I'm gonna do both at once, geez!
**[03:52] ---**
That's Natsu for you, I guess.
**[03:57] ---**
What are you people after?
**[04:01] ---**
To hunt the fairies here!
***SIGN*** Thundering Roar
**[04:09] ---**
Soul of Iron.
**[04:14] ---**
What a racket!
**[04:16] ---**
Magic from letters?
**[04:18] ---**
It's the same magic as yours!
**[04:20] ---**
Right, Levy?
**[04:22] ---**
That magic is Eastern Solid Script!
**[04:28] ---**
Gajeel!
**[04:29] ---**
Gajeel, hey!
**[04:30] ---**
He can't hear me?
**[04:40] ---**
Eggs?
**[04:43] ---**
Egg Buster!
**[04:53] ---**
Damn it... I can't hear his
steps with all the noise!
**[05:02] ---**
Gajeel!
**[05:04] ---**
Solid Script: Silent!
**[05:13] ---**
The noise has gone back to normal!
**[05:15] ---**
Did your writing cancel out mine?
**[05:18] ---**
I heard that!
**[05:19] ---**
There!
**[05:25] ---**
Fire!
***SIGN*** Zuzazazazazazaza
**[05:37] ---**
How dare you!
***SIGN*** Slash
***SIGN*** Supepepepepepe
***SIGN*** Slash-Slash
**[06:03] ---**
Man... This is messed up...
**[06:12] ---**
Fire!
**[06:14] ---**
There's too many!
**[06:20] ---**
Levy!
**[06:24] ---**
He's cutting my iron scales
like they're nothing?!
***SIGN*** Go
***SIGN*** Bi
***SIGN*** Ba
***SIGN*** Do
***SIGN*** Za
***SIGN*** Zan
***SIGN*** Stab
**[06:31] ---**
Stab!
***SIGN*** Kasha
**[06:41] ---**
Darkness Sword...
**[06:44] ---**
No!
**[06:46] ---**
Crying Bite!
***SIGN*** Zan-zan-zan-zan-zan-zan-zan-zan-zan... Zan!
***SIGN*** Jaki
**[06:59] ---**
Gajeel!
**[07:05] ---**
Gajeel...
**[07:06] ---**
If they're all as weak as these two,
**[07:09] ---**
I bet we can finish them all off
before the main force arrives.
**[07:16] ---**
M-Main force, you say?
**[07:19] ---**
Looks like he's still alive-peron.
**[07:22] ---**
The main force is the full might
of our Guild, Grimoire Heart!
**[07:28] ---**
B-But...
**[07:30] ---**
Levy, escape.
**[07:33] ---**
This isn't just some war.
**[07:35] ---**
It's gonna be way bigger than that.
**[07:37] ---**
But, I...
**[07:39] ---**
Go and tell everyone about
this, on the double!
**[07:43] ---**
I can handle these chumps fine on my own!
**[07:49] ---**
You aren't getting away!
**[07:53] ---**
Gajeel!
**[07:53] ---**
What the hell are you doing? Hurry and go!
**[07:59] ---**
Iron?
**[08:02] ---**
Please, don't die.
**[08:11] ---**
Damn you... Letting that woman get away.
**[08:14] ---**
Whatever-peron... Just makes
the hunt more fun-peron.
**[08:22] ---**
An all-out war against Fairy Tail, is it?
**[08:26] ---**
Y-You can stand?
**[08:29] ---**
Reminds me of back then...
**[08:33] ---**
I'll show you that picking a fight
with Fairy Tail was a mistake!
**[08:40] ---**
Yeah...
**[08:43] ---**
You're gonna taste the same fear!
**[08:49] ---**
The full force of Grimoire
Heart is coming to attack!
**[08:53] ---**
I don't know why...
**[08:55] ---**
But I have to tell everyone!
**[08:58] ---**
Something terrible is happening!
**[09:10] ---**
Gajeel...
**[09:14] ---**
Roar of the Iron Dragon!
***SIGN*** Block
**[09:29] ---**
What the...
**[09:30] ---**
Fool, look above you!
**[09:33] ---**
Heavy Egg Rain!
***SIGN*** Shubabababababa
**[09:49] ---**
You think my forged iron is going
to lose to that rusty blade?!
**[09:57] ---**
Take this!
**[10:00] ---**
You're a pest!
***SIGN*** Stab-stab-stab-stab
**[10:06] ---**
Stab!
**[10:10] ---**
You're open!
**[10:14] ---**
What?
**[10:20] ---**
I-I can't lose.
**[10:23] ---**
Damn you!
**[10:25] ---**
I can't lose, damn it!
**[10:37] ---**
Levy... Levy... Levy!
**[10:44] ---**
Where did you get those injuries?
**[10:47] ---**
Erza, Juvia...
**[10:49] ---**
What happened?
**[10:51] ---**
We've got trouble! Gajeel is...
**[11:07] ---**
Making an enemy of Fairy Tail...
**[11:11] ---**
These guys are the same as I was back then...
**[11:16] ---**
Gajeel was once part of another guild.
**[11:20] ---**
Its name was Phantom Lord.
**[11:23] ---**
They kidnapped Lucy, and drove
Fairy Tail into a corner,
**[11:28] ---**
but were completely defeated
and Phantom Lord was destroyed.
**[11:33] ---**
Their various wizards all set out
and went their separate ways, but...
**[11:52] ---**
Yo!
**[11:56] ---**
Master Makarov!
**[12:01] ---**
What the hell are you here for?
**[12:04] ---**
Whoa there...
**[12:06] ---**
For a little talk.
**[12:12] ---**
Juvia entered my guild the other day.
**[12:16] ---**
She what?
**[12:17] ---**
Yeah, and she's pretty worried about you.
**[12:22] ---**
What the hell is that rain woman thinking?
**[12:31] ---**
What are you going to do now?
**[12:34] ---**
Beats me. I ain't decided.
**[12:37] ---**
Well, I'll get by somehow.
**[12:42] ---**
Can I ask you a question?
**[12:45] ---**
What?
**[12:47] ---**
What were you thinking when
you picked a fight with us?
**[12:54] ---**
What did Phantom Lord mean to you?
**[12:59] ---**
What did the guild mean to you?
**[13:02] ---**
What did being a wizard mean to you?
**[13:08] ---**
That's more than one question.
**[13:12] ---**
They're all the same.
**[13:14] ---**
I'm asking what do you, yourself,
think about who you are?
**[13:21] ---**
Would you have taken people's
lives if Jose had ordered you to?
**[13:26] ---**
Are you that unquestioning?
**[13:30] ---**
You see, that's no different
than being a puppet.
**[13:34] ---**
But I don't think you're
as boring a man as that.
**[13:39] ---**
Shut up already. Leave me alone.
**[13:43] ---**
There's no need to throw
yourself into the darkness.
**[13:47] ---**
How about it? Wanna join my guild?
**[13:50] ---**
You must be joking! Are you serious?!
**[13:54] ---**
There are people in this
world who prefer solitude.
**[13:58] ---**
But there is no one who can withstand it.
**[14:07] ---**
I'm the one who destroyed your guild!
**[14:10] ---**
Let's put all that aside.
**[14:13] ---**
And... I hurt your friends...
**[14:21] ---**
That...
**[14:23] ---**
...I will never forgive, no matter what.
**[14:27] ---**
But if I ignored a young man trying
to throw himself into the darkness,
**[14:32] ---**
it'd be myself I could never forgive.
**[14:41] ---**
This isn't me saving you. I'm simply
showing you the path to tomorrow.
**[14:47] ---**
Will you go forward, or will you
stop? It's up to you to decide.
**[14:58] ---**
I...
**[15:07] ---**
...can't lose!
**[15:10] ---**
I can't lose, damn it!
**[15:17] ---**
I'm a Fairy Tail...
**[15:22] ---**
...Wizard!!
**[15:26] ---**
My katana!
**[15:28] ---**
My soul!
**[15:41] ---**
Secret Dragon Slayer Art!
***SIGN*** Hi~
**[15:59] ---**
Karma Demon:
**[16:04] ---**
Iron God Sword!
**[16:37] ---**
Gajeel!
**[16:40] ---**
This is...
**[16:42] ---**
Gajeel-kun?
**[16:45] ---**
Gajeel! Hang in there, Gajeel!
**[16:52] ---**
I told you I could handle 'em by myself...
**[16:57] ---**
Gajeel...
**[17:04] ---**
It's over!
**[17:06] ---**
The main force will be here any moment!
**[17:09] ---**
Wizards far out of my league are coming!
**[17:13] ---**
The Seven Kin of Purgatory!
**[17:19] ---**
Seven Kin?
**[17:22] ---**
I'm halting the exam.
**[17:26] ---**
All hands, deploy for battle!
**[17:29] ---**
Condition red! Prepare to intercept!
**[17:38] ---**
An enemy?
**[17:41] ---**
On this island? That's not good.
**[17:44] ---**
What's that?
**[17:46] ---**
A red signal...
**[17:48] ---**
An enemy.
**[17:49] ---**
What about the exam? Hey...
**[17:52] ---**
It's called off for now, with this.
**[17:57] ---**
Is it that guy from before?
**[18:00] ---**
That bastard!
**[18:03] ---**
I wonder... That's a signal that
means an enemy is coming to attack.
**[18:07] ---**
They're closing in now.
**[18:10] ---**
I don't know who or what they are,
**[18:12] ---**
but they think they can pick a fight with us?
**[18:14] ---**
I'll turn the tables on 'em!
**[18:16] ---**
Aye, sir!
**[18:18] ---**
Why now?
**[18:21] ---**
This is my final exam! Even though
I wish to drop out of the guild...
**[18:27] ---**
You've got to be kidding me!
I'm continuing the exam!
**[18:32] ---**
Cana...
**[18:33] ---**
Calm down, Cana.
**[18:36] ---**
Everyone feels the same way.
**[18:37] ---**
Gray! Loke!
**[18:39] ---**
Why are the two of you here?
**[18:42] ---**
We were foll...
**[18:44] ---**
We just happened upon you!
**[18:46] ---**
Anyway, who cares?
**[18:48] ---**
An enemy is coming... This
is no time for exams.
**[18:54] ---**
Let's head to the emergency gathering area.
**[18:57] ---**
We don't have enough information now.
**[19:00] ---**
What's going to happen? Seriously...
**[19:08] ---**
Erza-san, what should we do now?
**[19:11] ---**
For now, let's search for Mest and Wendy.
**[19:13] ---**
It's possible they're lost and
don't know where the camp is.
**[19:17] ---**
I'll take Gajeel to the camp.
**[19:19] ---**
Right, handle that.
**[19:21] ---**
A shrimp like you shouldn't push herself.
**[19:24] ---**
You sure talk big for a
guy who can't stand up.
**[19:28] ---**
Man, this is messed up.
**[19:31] ---**
Juvia wants to see Gray-sama very soon!
**[19:36] ---**
Now then, let's hear what you're after.
**[19:41] ---**
You think I'd talk to the likes of you?
**[19:48] ---**
It's Zeref...
**[19:50] ---**
The legendary Black Wizard Zeref!
**[19:53] ---**
Zeref is here on this island!
**[19:56] ---**
Impossible!
**[19:57] ---**
Zeref lived hundreds of years ago...
**[20:01] ---**
400 years, yes.
**[20:02] ---**
I don't believe it! There's
no way he's alive!
**[20:07] ---**
After all, Jellal...
**[20:14] ---**
He's alive! He's been alive
these past 400 years!
**[20:20] ---**
But Master Hades says that
he's currently "sleeping".
**[20:28] ---**
I can't believe what you're saying.
**[20:33] ---**
When Zeref awakens,
**[20:35] ---**
this world will be bathed in pure darkness!
**[20:40] ---**
Don't be ridiculous! This
is Fairy Tail holy ground!
**[20:44] ---**
You're telling me you plan to run rampant
on this divinely protected Fairy island?!
**[20:50] ---**
Master Hade's personal
guard will be here soon.
**[20:53] ---**
You'd do well not to underestimate
the 7 Kin of Purgatory!
**[20:59] ---**
The wizard of time, Ultear!
**[21:03] ---**
Rustyrose!
**[21:05] ---**
Our boss, Caprico-sama!
**[21:08] ---**
Kain Hikaru!
**[21:11] ---**
Zancrow!
**[21:14] ---**
Meldy!
**[21:15] ---**
And the final one is
already on this island...
**[21:21] ---**
Say what?
**[21:26] ---**
Mest-san, what does that
signal flare mean again?
**[21:32] ---**
Um...
**[21:34] ---**
Huh?
**[21:35] ---**
I want to know! I seriously want to know!
**[21:39] ---**
You've forgotten too, Mest-san?
**[21:41] ---**
And besides, Mest-san... You really
shouldn't try to put everything in your mouth.
**[21:42] ---**
This is bad... Should I make my
move before the main forces come?
**[21:47] ---**
Wendy!
**[21:50] ---**
Carla! Lily?
**[21:52] ---**
Get away from him right away!
**[21:55] ---**
Mest! Who exactly are you?
**[21:59] ---**
Who am I?
**[22:02] ---**
I'm Mystogan's disciple, and...
**[22:06] ---**
Mystogan would not have taken
on a disciple in this world.
**[22:10] ---**
You did well choosing to use a human
who is no longer in this world,
**[22:15] ---**
but your cover story was too weak,
Mest. If that's your real name.
**[22:19] ---**
Who are you?!
**[23:56] ---**
Whoa, whoa! A bunch of guys
I dunno are comin' here!
**[24:00] ---**
That mark... Could they be Grimoire Heart?
**[24:03] ---**
Why would a Dark Guild be here?
**[24:05] ---**
Maybe this is also part of the S Class exam?
**[24:07] ---**
Like a big festival, testing our strength?
**[24:09] ---**
Pretty weird festival.
**[24:10] ---**
And wait, we've gone from exams to festivals?
**[24:14] ---**
Next time: Makarov's Charge.
**[24:16] ---**
Oh, it's not a festival!
**[24:18] ---**
Then I guess they're enemies.
**[24:20] ---**
That means I can blast 'em, right?
**[24:21] ---**
But try not to get blasted yourself, 'kay?
