**[00:21] ---**
We're overrun here! We should retreat!
**[00:23] ---**
Not yet!
**[00:25] ---**
I wanna drink tasty booze with the Fairy Tail
guys later on, so let's dig in one more...
**[00:31] ---**
Bacchus! Behind you!
**[02:10] ---**
Hang in there, Droy!
Somebody! Somebody, help!
**[02:15] ---**
Droy isn't breathing!
He's not breathing!
**[02:22] ---**
Pop!
**[02:23] ---**
Stay here, Romeo!
**[02:24] ---**
But...
**[02:25] ---**
I'll go.
**[02:27] ---**
Be right there, Macao!
**[02:28] ---**
Don't worry about me! Take care of Romeo!
**[02:32] ---**
Pop!
**[02:44] ---**
Life Time!
**[02:48] ---**
Cheria! Where are you?!
**[02:51] ---**
Cheria! Cheria!
**[02:57] ---**
Cheria... We need your Healing Magic...
**[03:02] ---**
Please! Gray's been...
**[03:07] ---**
It went... right through his head...
**[03:23] ---**
Shall I deliver the finishing blow?
**[03:26] ---**
Do it! Mother Glare!
**[03:35] ---**
What are you thinking, Atlas Flame?
**[03:38] ---**
Why are you assisting that human?
**[03:41] ---**
I told you. We're talking about a child
raised by Igneel, king of the Fire Dragons.
**[03:47] ---**
Human or not, we're kin!
**[03:50] ---**
I cannot comprehend that.
**[03:52] ---**
But if you're standing against me,
I shan't hold back!
**[03:56] ---**
I wouldn't want you to.
**[04:00] ---**
Bastard. You still intend to fight?
You don't know when to give up.
**[04:06] ---**
That's 'cause I just need to eat flames
to get my power back!
**[04:10] ---**
That may be, but your wounds haven't healed.
**[04:13] ---**
No matter how much power you get back,
if you suffer a fatal blow, it's all over!
**[04:29] ---**
Eat this!
**[04:30] ---**
I can't afford to lose!
Not against nobody or nothin'!
**[04:37] ---**
I made a promise!
**[04:40] ---**
A promise?
**[04:42] ---**
Raging Volt!
**[04:46] ---**
What's wrong?! This attack is unworthy of
someone so high-spirited.
**[04:53] ---**
I'm just warmin' up.
**[05:01] ---**
Even Laxus's attack won't go through.
That Zirconis is truly formidable.
**[05:06] ---**
Even though he's a Dragon Slayer, that's
no guarantee he'll beat the dragon, right?
**[05:12] ---**
If he can't do it alone,
then maybe with my help...
**[05:15] ---**
Wing Attack of the Sky Dragon!
**[05:23] ---**
Nice one, Wendy!
**[05:30] ---**
Did it work?
**[05:31] ---**
It was a palpable hit.
This should do it right here!
**[05:37] ---**
Old man, it's almost too easy to end
it here after all your boastful talk.
**[05:45] ---**
You struck a blow to my face...
You stripling...
**[05:51] ---**
I don't believe it! That wasn't fatal?!
**[05:53] ---**
Even though that same punch took down Jura?!
**[05:56] ---**
You're actually starting to make me mad.
**[05:59] ---**
I enjoy mocking girls, but I'll
never enjoy bantering with males.
**[06:07] ---**
I'll just devour you whole, clothes and all.
**[06:14] ---**
The man here looks unappetizing
with his tough meat, but you...
**[06:24] ---**
Wendy, get away!
**[06:26] ---**
Laxus-san!
**[06:29] ---**
Rogue! Give up and come with me!
**[06:32] ---**
I refuse!
**[06:35] ---**
Accept your fate! Eventually, your
heart will be tainted with darkness!
**[06:41] ---**
I'll make sure that doesn't happen!
As long as he's around...
**[06:45] ---**
How tough is this son of a bitch?!
**[06:54] ---**
You would interfere with me?
If you can't help me, fight elsewhere!
**[06:59] ---**
This is my territory! Don't act
so high and mighty, latecomer!
**[07:03] ---**
Now, Rogue!
**[07:05] ---**
Yeah!
**[07:12] ---**
We did it!
**[07:16] ---**
I don't feel a thing from
an attack like that.
**[07:20] ---**
This is annoying. I think we
should just finish this now.
**[07:28] ---**
Sting!
**[07:30] ---**
Rogue. I'm done trying to reason with you.
Like it or not, you're coming with me.
**[07:40] ---**
Sword of the Iron Dragon!
**[07:59] ---**
Right? Or left?
**[08:04] ---**
Which way will it come from?!
**[08:07] ---**
Crap!
**[08:17] ---**
Unless your poison can penetrate
this body, it's useless!
**[08:22] ---**
And I think it's about time for my turn.
**[08:29] ---**
Prepare yourself!
**[08:36] ---**
I have to hurry! I need to tell
everyone about that note!
**[08:50] ---**
Oh no!
**[09:18] ---**
My life was cursed.
**[09:24] ---**
I've deceived people, mocked them,
and taken their lives.
**[09:29] ---**
But, Gray... You gave me a chance
to live as a human being.
**[09:36] ---**
I intended the independent guild Crime Sorciere
to be my way of atoning for my sins.
**[09:43] ---**
I meant to atone... but I didn't change.
**[09:48] ---**
I'm still a witch who doesn't think twice
about murdering someone.
**[09:54] ---**
I... I don't deserve to live.
**[10:17] ---**
I'm impressed by all the tomes of magic
you've gathered in such a short time.
**[10:23] ---**
Master Hades! I didn't know you were here.
**[10:27] ---**
You needn't humble yourself. Come, stand up.
**[10:32] ---**
Master Hades, before you told me about a
kind of magic that can restore lost happiness.
**[10:40] ---**
Perhaps you mean the Arc of Time?
**[10:42] ---**
I finally got a clue!
**[10:45] ---**
I found a description of what's
believed to be that magic in here.
**[10:50] ---**
Last Ages. That magic must never be used.
**[10:54] ---**
Why not? This is the magic
I've been searching for!
**[10:58] ---**
This would let me turn back time
and do it over again.
**[11:01] ---**
I would do anything
to learn this magic...
**[11:06] ---**
Last Ages comes with a price
that the caster must pay.
**[11:11] ---**
In exchange for turning back time,
all of the spellcaster's time is stolen.
**[11:16] ---**
Time?
**[11:19] ---**
In other words, "life."
**[11:22] ---**
In turning back the clock of the world,
the caster loses all of their time.
**[11:28] ---**
Is that the world you desire?
**[11:33] ---**
I-I don't want that...
**[11:40] ---**
But now... I do.
**[11:45] ---**
If giving up my life can reset the world...
**[11:51] ---**
...I'll gladly offer it.
**[11:59] ---**
Arc of Time! Last Ages!
**[12:25] ---**
Tough it out!
**[12:27] ---**
Think of the agony you
inflicted on so many people!
**[12:31] ---**
Compared to that, this pain is...
**[12:36] ---**
Exquisite pain... running through
my cells... one by one...
**[12:43] ---**
Is this where I pay the price
with my time... with my life?!
**[12:54] ---**
My life is flowing out of me...
**[12:57] ---**
My time is vanishing...
**[13:01] ---**
My life... My future is...
**[13:08] ---**
It was a life tainted by villainy and vice,
**[13:12] ---**
but looking back, someone
was always there for me.
**[13:18] ---**
Gray, Jellal, Meldy...
**[13:25] ---**
It was more happiness than
someone like me deserved.
**[13:32] ---**
And yet, I didn't realize it.
**[13:35] ---**
I spent my time and my life
on foolish things.
**[13:39] ---**
But it's not too late!
**[13:42] ---**
I'll sacrifice the rest of my time for
the sake of those who are dear to me!
**[13:51] ---**
Please! Bring the world back...
to at least before the portal was opened!
**[13:58] ---**
Take my life in exchange
for just a little time!
**[15:44] ---**
Time... Time... went back...
**[15:53] ---**
...one minute?!
**[15:56] ---**
The value... of my life...
**[16:01] ---**
...is just one minute?!
**[16:04] ---**
No...
**[16:08] ---**
I couldn't save a single soul...
**[16:17] ---**
Look out!
**[16:20] ---**
Don't lose focus!
**[16:24] ---**
This is a battleground!
**[16:26] ---**
Sorry!
**[16:31] ---**
Gray-sama touched Juvia's behind...
**[16:34] ---**
Juvia...
**[16:39] ---**
What was that just now?
**[16:41] ---**
I'm gonna be killed?
**[16:44] ---**
A dream?
**[16:46] ---**
Juvia saw it, too.
**[16:48] ---**
What the hell?!
**[16:50] ---**
Suddenly getting a vision of
my death is just too creepy!
**[16:53] ---**
The little dragons appear from over there...
**[17:02] ---**
They really did show up!
**[17:06] ---**
What the hell is going on here?!
**[17:09] ---**
Did someone warn us?
**[17:14] ---**
Who could've done that?
**[17:22] ---**
Whoa!
**[17:26] ---**
But what was that just now? It's like
I caught a glimpse of the future.
**[17:30] ---**
A warning? Then it's dangerous here.
Let's go over there!
**[17:35] ---**
Yeah!
**[17:38] ---**
It can't have been a dream...
**[17:39] ---**
It was like images from the future...
**[17:42] ---**
Then this area is dangerous.
**[17:52] ---**
That day, people all over the world
saw one minute into their future.
**[17:58] ---**
However, like a dream,
it quickly faded from memory,
**[18:04] ---**
so not many people would dwell on
this mysterious phenomenon.
**[18:09] ---**
But for the wizards who were
in the middle of battle,
**[18:12] ---**
seeing one minute into the future made
the difference between life and death.
**[18:18] ---**
What was that just now?
**[18:20] ---**
We can think about it later!
**[18:24] ---**
Roar of the Sky Dragon!
**[18:29] ---**
Roar of the Lightning Dragon!
**[18:37] ---**
Images... of the future...
**[18:41] ---**
Was that your power, Carla?
**[18:43] ---**
It wasn't me.
**[18:44] ---**
It wasn't me, either.
**[18:46] ---**
We know that.
**[18:50] ---**
A vision?!
**[18:56] ---**
You did it, Bacchus! Awesome!
**[19:00] ---**
That one minute...
**[19:02] ---**
Right?!
**[19:04] ---**
Here!
**[19:07] ---**
That one minute became the root
of the human race's counterattack.
**[19:12] ---**
What the...?
**[19:13] ---**
For just an instant,
I could see his movements.
**[19:16] ---**
Take this!
**[19:21] ---**
Here I come!
**[19:24] ---**
Where did you go, Rogue?! Come out!
**[19:28] ---**
I won't let you get your way! I refuse!
**[19:44] ---**
What is this? If I turn that corner...
**[19:55] ---**
I can't turn there...
**[20:02] ---**
What the...? There was just
a ripple in the flow of time.
**[20:07] ---**
Did something happen to Eclipse?
**[20:09] ---**
Never look away in the middle of a fight!
**[20:17] ---**
I'm gonna keep my promise!
**[20:19] ---**
Promise? What are you talking about?
**[20:22] ---**
I made a promise to the future Lucy.
**[20:47] ---**
Princess, let's leave this
to the wizards. Come.
**[20:52] ---**
I'll escort you.
**[20:53] ---**
No. Please let me stay here.
I have a duty to watch what happens.
**[20:59] ---**
Princess... But...
**[21:01] ---**
Everyone!
**[21:05] ---**
Look! Look at this!
**[21:07] ---**
What is it?
**[21:09] ---**
A memo pad from the future me!
**[21:11] ---**
Future you?
**[21:13] ---**
Here...
**[21:18] ---**
"If by any chance the portal in
this time period is destroyed,
**[21:23] ---**
the Eclipse portal in the
future will cease to exist.
**[21:26] ---**
As part of a chain reaction,
I'll also disappear from existence."
**[21:30] ---**
What does that mean?
**[21:31] ---**
It's talking about what will happen if the
portal in our time period is destroyed.
**[21:36] ---**
Then the future will be painted over with
a future in which the portal was destroyed.
**[21:41] ---**
The portal will wink out
of existence in the future.
**[21:45] ---**
If that happens, Rogue won't have any means
to come back to our time period.
**[21:48] ---**
But is it possible to stop
what's already happened?
**[21:52] ---**
If everything worked out, then both the dragons
and Rogue would disappear from our time!
**[21:56] ---**
It's worth a shot!
**[21:58] ---**
However, there's one big problem.
**[22:02] ---**
How do we destroy a giant
structure like that?
**[22:05] ---**
It won't be an easy job.
**[22:08] ---**
But if Rogue doesn't come from the future,
the world should return to its proper history.
**[22:14] ---**
We have to do it. And I have to
keep my promise to my future self!
**[23:55] ---**
Happy, it looks like we can see the
light at the end of the tunnel.
**[23:58] ---**
It sounds like destroying that Eclipse
portal will solve everything!
**[24:02] ---**
In that case, it's a job for Fairy Tail!
**[24:04] ---**
'Cause we're great at
destroying things, right?
**[24:07] ---**
Yeah! I'm fired up!
**[24:09] ---**
The problem is, how do we break
that tough-looking gate?
**[24:13] ---**
It's obvious, ain't it?
**[24:14] ---**
Yeah! I'm thinking the same thing!
**[24:17] ---**
Next time: Golden Grassland!
**[24:19] ---**
There's only one thing to do!
**[24:21] ---**
Right!
**[24:22] ---**
Punch it with all our magical might!
