**[00:05] ---**
Princess, let's leave this
to the wizards. Come.
**[00:10] ---**
I'll escort you.
**[00:11] ---**
No. Please let me stay here.
**[00:14] ---**
I have a duty to watch what happens.
**[00:17] ---**
Princess... But...
**[00:19] ---**
Everyone!
**[00:23] ---**
Look! Look at this!
**[00:25] ---**
What is it?
**[00:27] ---**
A memo pad from the future me!
**[00:29] ---**
Future you?
**[00:31] ---**
Here...
**[00:36] ---**
"If by any chance the portal in
this time period is destroyed,
**[00:41] ---**
the Eclipse portal in the
future will cease to exist.
**[00:45] ---**
As part of a chain reaction,
I'll also disappear from existence."
**[00:48] ---**
What does that mean?
**[00:49] ---**
It's talking about what will happen if the
portal in our time period is destroyed.
**[00:54] ---**
Then the future will be painted over with
a future in which the portal was destroyed.
**[00:59] ---**
The portal will wink out
of existence in the future.
**[01:03] ---**
If that happens, Rogue won't have any means
to come back to our time period.
**[01:06] ---**
But is it possible to stop
what's already happened?
**[01:10] ---**
If everything works out, then both the dragons
and Rogue will disappear from our time!
**[01:14] ---**
It's worth a shot!
**[01:16] ---**
However, there's one big problem.
**[01:19] ---**
How do we destroy a giant
structure like that?
**[01:23] ---**
It won't be an easy job.
**[01:25] ---**
But if Rogue doesn't come from the future,
the world should return to its proper history.
**[01:32] ---**
We have to do it. And I have to
keep my promise to my future self!
**[03:15] ---**
We'll just have to slam into it
with all our magical power.
**[03:19] ---**
Right.
**[03:24] ---**
Open...
**[03:26] ---**
...the 12 Gates!
**[03:29] ---**
Zodiac!
**[03:50] ---**
Everyone, please!
**[04:16] ---**
I don't believe it!
We didn't even make a dent!
**[04:19] ---**
It's made out of Magnanium alloy,
which is highly resistant to magic.
**[04:24] ---**
It won't be easy to destroy.
**[04:27] ---**
Even so...
**[04:30] ---**
Golden Grassland!
**[04:53] ---**
Gajeel!
**[05:05] ---**
Go back to your own...
**[05:08] ---**
...time period!
**[05:11] ---**
I have no intention of going back.
**[05:13] ---**
Then what'll happen to the current Rogue?!
**[05:16] ---**
Eventually, I'll become one with myself.
**[05:19] ---**
Like two overlapping shadows...
**[05:22] ---**
So you wanna steal Rogue's future, too?
**[05:24] ---**
There is no future!
Not as long as Acnologia exists!
**[05:32] ---**
That's why I came here, to create the future!
**[06:39] ---**
Where's Frosch?
**[06:42] ---**
Dead.
**[06:44] ---**
He's alive.
**[06:47] ---**
And I bet he's terrified right now...
because of you...
**[06:54] ---**
It'll be okay! I'm here with you!
**[06:58] ---**
He'll die... about a year from now.
**[07:01] ---**
You can't protect him?
**[07:04] ---**
I couldn't protect him.
**[07:07] ---**
He's alive right now!
**[07:13] ---**
I don't care.
**[07:15] ---**
I'm not the same man who
kept a cat as a sidekick.
**[07:21] ---**
You...
**[07:23] ---**
Someone who has never known
despair wouldn't understand.
**[07:26] ---**
I finally obtained hope, and I won't let the
insanity of a desperate man interfere!
**[07:34] ---**
Your hope...
**[07:37] ---**
...means turning the past into despair?!
**[07:42] ---**
Not everyone can be equally happy!
**[07:48] ---**
Grow up, Natsu Dragneel!
**[07:52] ---**
Even if you're right, everyone has
the right to choose the future!
**[07:58] ---**
We're headin' for the future that we chose!
**[08:02] ---**
Not the one you chose!
**[08:07] ---**
Natsu!
**[08:10] ---**
We don't have to know what tomorrow holds!
**[08:16] ---**
That's why we can live for
everything we're worth today!
**[08:39] ---**
Everyone...
**[08:42] ---**
Natsu!
**[09:13] ---**
Sorry to keep you waiting, Lucy.
**[09:16] ---**
Bastard...
**[09:18] ---**
Hey, lizards, don't go gettin' cocky!
**[09:23] ---**
I'm Natsu Dragneel, a Fairy Tail wizard...
**[09:28] ---**
...and a Dragon Slayer!
**[09:37] ---**
Brilliant Flame of the Fire Dragon! Roar!
**[09:42] ---**
Crushing Fang of the Fire Dragon!
**[09:46] ---**
Natsu! It's too late!
**[09:51] ---**
We can't stop them!
**[09:52] ---**
That ain't true! I'm not done yet!
**[10:05] ---**
Natsu!
**[10:07] ---**
I ain't... givin' up...
**[10:12] ---**
Ain't gonna run away...
**[10:19] ---**
Ain't gonna backtrack...
**[10:23] ---**
Natsu!
**[10:33] ---**
I've reached...
**[10:37] ---**
...my limit!
**[10:55] ---**
How can the portal be that strong?
**[10:57] ---**
It hasn't *mooved* an inch...
**[11:02] ---**
Huh?
**[11:06] ---**
Get back! Everyone, get away from the portal!
**[12:46] ---**
The portal is broken!
**[12:48] ---**
Natsu!
**[13:04] ---**
I don't believe it... A door
made of Magnanium, destroyed...
**[13:08] ---**
What will happen now?
**[13:10] ---**
We believe the portal in
the future can't be used.
**[13:14] ---**
In other words, Rogue can't
come back to this time period.
**[13:17] ---**
History will return to normal.
**[13:27] ---**
The dragon's body...
**[13:29] ---**
It's glowing!
**[13:35] ---**
Are we going back to our own time?
**[13:50] ---**
Running away with your
tail between your legs?
**[13:54] ---**
No...
**[13:57] ---**
What is this?!
**[13:59] ---**
The dragon...
**[14:01] ---**
It's disappearing?!
**[14:04] ---**
Humans did this?! Lowly humans did this?!
**[14:14] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[14:16] ---**
It's still dangerous!
**[14:18] ---**
Princess!
**[14:19] ---**
Hey!
**[14:23] ---**
I'm the one who constructed the time portal.
**[14:28] ---**
I disrupted the natural
flow of your time stream.
**[14:34] ---**
You, who live 400 years in the past...
**[14:39] ---**
...and we, who live in the present...
**[14:42] ---**
...have no real reason to fight.
**[14:47] ---**
I perverted nature.
**[14:52] ---**
Who are you, wench?
**[14:55] ---**
Hisui E. Fiore.
**[14:58] ---**
Hisui?
**[14:59] ---**
That's right. Hisui, or jade,
the same color as your body.
**[15:05] ---**
The same, you say?
**[15:09] ---**
The same.
**[15:10] ---**
Stare...
**[15:13] ---**
Jade dragon...
**[15:16] ---**
Jade dragon... I kind of
like the way that sounds.
**[15:22] ---**
Wait a second! Dammit! I fell for it!
**[15:26] ---**
I'm...
**[15:58] ---**
Did we do it?
**[16:05] ---**
It looks like we won.
**[16:08] ---**
Fro thinks so, too.
**[16:34] ---**
I won't forget you, Natsu... Dragneel...
**[16:42] ---**
Thanks, Uncle.
**[16:57] ---**
They're gone!
**[17:07] ---**
The little ones are disappearing!
**[17:09] ---**
Did we beat 'em?!
**[17:10] ---**
I don't know how, but it's over!
**[17:12] ---**
It was Natsu-nii. I bet it was Natsu-nii!
**[17:20] ---**
The dragon vanished...
**[17:23] ---**
You did it, Gajeel!
**[17:26] ---**
Yeah. But...
**[17:29] ---**
This isn't satisfying.
**[17:35] ---**
None of the Dragon Slayers...
**[17:39] ---**
...were able to take down a dragon.
**[17:42] ---**
Pathetic, huh?
**[17:44] ---**
Makes me sick of hearing
the term "Dragon Slayer."
**[17:47] ---**
It just goes to show how strong dragons are.
**[17:52] ---**
And Acnologia is probably stronger than them.
**[17:55] ---**
Yeah, well, forget him for now.
**[17:59] ---**
Agreed.
**[18:00] ---**
It doesn't feel like we won,
but for now, the battle is over.
**[18:12] ---**
We won.
**[18:14] ---**
We protected our comrades.
**[18:32] ---**
The Rogue I know ain't gonna become you.
**[18:37] ---**
The shadows...
**[18:39] ---**
The shadows try to consume me...
**[18:43] ---**
They follow me around, wherever I go...
**[18:48] ---**
...and the day I lose Frosch is the day
the shadows and I become one.
**[18:55] ---**
Frosch ain't gonna die.
**[18:57] ---**
A year from now.
**[18:59] ---**
Be sure to tell me...
to protect Frosch in one year.
**[19:10] ---**
...is going to kill Frosch.
**[20:15] ---**
Where am I?
**[20:37] ---**
Hey! Lucy!
**[20:46] ---**
Get over here!
**[20:54] ---**
We're all here!
**[21:08] ---**
Come on, the adventure continues!
**[21:15] ---**
Okay!
**[21:49] ---**
Tears...
**[22:03] ---**
What's wrong, Lucy?
**[22:06] ---**
Nothing. Just a feeling...
**[22:12] ---**
Thank you.
**[23:56] ---**
Natsu, listen to this! Big news!
**[23:58] ---**
What are you so excited about, Happy?
**[24:00] ---**
The king invited us to a party to
say thanks for saving the kingdom!
**[24:05] ---**
Really?!
**[24:05] ---**
The party's at the palace, so I bet
they'll put out an incredible spread!
**[24:09] ---**
Yeah, like teriyaki flames
or pot-roasted flames...
**[24:13] ---**
Um... I think that'd be tough to pull off.
**[24:16] ---**
Next time: The Grand Ball!
**[24:18] ---**
Whole roasted flames would be nice, too!
**[24:20] ---**
I can't even imagine cooking flames!
