[00:01] ---
    The Tartarus issue has been on the back-burner,
    but now is the time to address it.
[00:07] ---
    The enemy's identity is unknown.
[00:09] ---
    But if we destroy them now, the whole
    Balam Alliance will fall apart.
[00:13] ---
    Now is the time for us, the Magic Council,
    to wield our great power and fight.
[00:24] ---
    We have an emergency!
[00:27] ---
    What is it?
[00:29] ---
    Fool! We're in the middle of a meeting!
[00:31] ---
    Th-This is more important. I-Intruder...
[00:50] ---
    Sage Org!
[00:52] ---
    You are okay?
[00:59] ---
    No, no.
[01:01] ---
    I need you dead.
[01:03] ---
    We were after all nine members.
[01:07] ---
    Explode.
[01:10] ---
    D-Don't!
[01:13] ---
    Doranbolt...
[01:15] ---
    Escape!
[01:18] ---
    I can't!
[01:19] ---
    What good is it if you die, too?
[01:22] ---
    Nobody can escape... my explosions.
[01:29] ---
    Go, Doranbolt!
[01:34] ---
    My name is Jackal.
[01:36] ---
    I'm a member of Tartaros,
    one of the Nine Demon Gates.
[01:39] ---
    Remember that in hell.
[01:42] ---
    Remember the name of the man
    who slaughtered the Council.
[01:47] ---
    L-Live so you can avenge us...
[01:52] ---
    ...Doranbolt!
[01:57] ---
    Sage Org!
[02:06] ---
    None of them are human.
[02:09] ---
    They're all demons from the Books of Zeref.
[02:13] ---
    The name of their master is END.
[02:16] ---
    He's the most powerful demon
    from all the Books of Zeref.
[02:20] ---
    Rumble.
[02:27] ---
    Who is he?!
[02:29] ---
    Yajima-san!
[02:34] ---
    Boom.
[02:40] ---
    Whipper-snapper!
[02:42] ---
    Gust.
[02:45] ---
    The enemy is Tartaros.
[02:47] ---
    They're a cornerstone of the Balam Alliance,
    like Oracion Seis and Grimoire Heart were.
[02:52] ---
    However, we destroyed both of them.
[02:57] ---
    And like them,
[02:58] ---
    Tartaros will regret making
    an enemy out of us!
[03:07] ---
    Our comrades have been hurt.
    Their pain is ours.
[03:11] ---
    Their blood that is shed
    flows from our bodies just the same.
[03:15] ---
    This pain! This suffering!
[03:18] ---
    Turn it into fighting spirit and avenge them!
[03:21] ---
    We don't act out of justice!
[03:23] ---
    We act out of will!
[03:27] ---
    Take pride in our bond,
[03:29] ---
    and drive away your family's enemy!
[03:35] ---
    You should listen when someone
    wants to tell you something.
[03:39] ---
    Natsu! Your hands!
[03:43] ---
    What the...?!
[03:45] ---
    My curse is the power to turn
    anything I touch into an explosive.
[03:50] ---
    How many times did you touch me?
[03:54] ---
    Natsu!
[03:55] ---
    Stay back! Everyone move away from me!
[03:58] ---
    But...
[03:59] ---
    Natsu-san!
[04:00] ---
    Hurry!
[04:09] ---
    Natsu!
[04:10] ---
    Wendy!
[04:18] ---
    Natsu-san!
[04:20] ---
    Oh, no...
[04:22] ---
    Natsu-san!
[05:57] ---
    Tartaros's targets aren't
    only current Council members,
[05:57] ---
    The members of Tartatos don't
    use magic. We use curses!
[06:01] ---
    Curses?!
[06:01] ---
    but former members as well,
    so when Fairy Tail learns this,
[06:03] ---
    Power that's ranked above magic!
[06:06] ---
    Mere wizards can't beat us!
[06:06] ---
    they split up and head out to act as
    bodyguards for the former members.
[06:13] ---
    Explosive Helix!
[06:24] ---
    Lucy!
[06:25] ---
    Wendy!
[06:29] ---
    Then Jackal of Tartaros appeared
[06:31] ---
    in front of Natsu.
[06:32] ---
    Well, bye-bye!
[06:36] ---
    I've gotten the hang of it!
[06:38] ---
    Hang of it?
[06:43] ---
    Natsu!
[06:44] ---
    Natsu-san!
[06:54] ---
    See?
SIGN    Tartaros Arc (Prologue): Natsu versus Jackal
[07:17] ---
    Impossible...
[07:19] ---
    It can't be...
[07:21] ---
    It just can't...
[07:22] ---
    I'm fired up.
[07:25] ---
    You...
[07:27] ---
    What are you?!
[07:33] ---
    I'm Natsu!
[07:43] ---
    You...
[07:45] ---
    ...touched me again!
[07:47] ---
    Ka-boom!
[07:49] ---
    Detonate!
[07:54] ---
    Natsu!
[07:55] ---
    Natsu-san!
[08:06] ---
    I told you I got the hang of it.
[08:09] ---
    It ain't gonna work anymore.
[08:12] ---
    What is he?
[08:16] ---
    How can a mere human...
[08:20] ---
    ...make me...
[08:21] ---
    ...quiver?
[08:24] ---
    Wait... Is he really human?
[08:29] ---
    This can't be!
[08:36] ---
    It's impossible!
[08:41] ---
    What is he?!
[08:42] ---
    Natsu-san, be careful! He's changing!
[08:54] ---
    He turned into a monster!
[09:22] ---
    Scumbag! What, does he intend
    on wrecking the town?!
[09:30] ---
    No puny human is superior to us demons!
[09:35] ---
    Stop trying!
[09:37] ---
    Demons?!
[09:39] ---
    He said "demons"?!
[09:41] ---
    You're all demons?!
[09:44] ---
    Perish, humans!
[09:48] ---
    Is that what you're fightin' for?!
[09:53] ---
    We're different!
[09:55] ---
    We're fightin' for our comrades
    that you people hurt!
[09:59] ---
    The enemy could be humans, demons,
[10:02] ---
    gods, it doesn't matter!
[10:05] ---
    Lend me your power, Laxus!
[10:10] ---
    Hammer...
[10:13] ---
    ...of the Lightning Flame Dragon!
[10:36] ---
    Both of them made a shambles of the town.
[10:39] ---
    True.
[10:53] ---
    Natsu!
[10:54] ---
    After absorbing an explosion of
    that scope, even Natsu-san...
[10:59] ---
    Is everyone okay?!
[11:01] ---
    We finished evacuating
    all the area residents!
[11:05] ---
    Natsu!
[11:06] ---
    Is he all right?
[11:08] ---
    The enemy was powerful. It took all of
    Natsu's might just to make it a draw.
[11:12] ---
    No, I won.
[11:14] ---
    It seems he won.
[11:16] ---
    You beat him, huh?
[11:17] ---
    We have to somehow get information from him.
[11:24] ---
    Boy... You really beat me.
[11:28] ---
    No one has ever done this before.
[11:32] ---
    It's frustrating...
[11:35] ---
    I'm sorry... Kyoka.
[11:42] ---
    At least... I'll take them to hell...
[11:46] ---
    ...with me!
[11:48] ---
    W-What is this?!
[11:51] ---
    Don't tell me...
[11:55] ---
    He's going to blow up the whole town?!
[11:58] ---
    Don't!
[12:00] ---
    It's too late...
[12:03] ---
    I'm going to detonate.
[12:07] ---
    Nothing can stop it, not even death!
[12:15] ---
    I'll see you in hell!
[12:18] ---
    What should we do?
[12:20] ---
    At this rate, the whole town will...
[12:25] ---
    I won't let that happen!
[12:31] ---
    Happy!
[12:33] ---
    Hey...
[12:34] ---
    You...
[12:36] ---
    Happy! Fly away fast!
[12:42] ---
    We're not gonna lose to you guys!
[12:45] ---
    Dammit!
[12:52] ---
    Happy!
[13:17] ---
    Oh, no...
[13:29] ---
    Happy...
[13:46] ---
    Hair?
[13:51] ---
    That was close...
[14:15] ---
    I can see it.
[14:17] ---
    That town...
[14:24] ---
    What did you suddenly stop for?!
[14:31] ---
    It seems to be afraid of something.
[14:35] ---
    Then something's here?
[14:41] ---
    Well?
[14:43] ---
    No good. We were too late.
[14:46] ---
    What?! Where's Sage Fogg?
[14:50] ---
    He's... gone...
[14:53] ---
    Someone apparently went on
    a rampage through the town.
[14:57] ---
    I can't bear to look at it.
[15:01] ---
    Good lord...
[15:03] ---
    How about your team, Gajeel?
[15:05] ---
    Have you found Sage Belno?
[15:13] ---
    We were too late.
[15:16] ---
    There are no signs of violence here.
[15:19] ---
    We believe she was assassinated.
[15:22] ---
    Dammit!
[15:24] ---
    If we'd only gotten here a little earlier...
[15:27] ---
    Gajeel...
[15:28] ---
    Even Sage Fogg and Sage Belno...
[15:32] ---
    There's still Natsu's team,
    which headed for Sage Michello.
[15:36] ---
    And there's Elfman's team,
    which set out for Sage Yuri.
[15:47] ---
    No good. He's not breathing...
[15:51] ---
    Oh, no...
[15:53] ---
    Prepare a communications lacrima.
    I'll report to the guild.
[15:58] ---
    Right.
[15:59] ---
    Still, how was he murdered?
[16:03] ---
    He doesn't have any visible wounds.
[16:09] ---
    Sage Yuri, you're alive...?
[16:16] ---
    What are you doing?!
[16:18] ---
    That was our communications lacrima!
[16:25] ---
    W-What's going on here?!
[16:28] ---
    What is this?!
[16:29] ---
    I guess Macro doesn't work
    so well with the dead.
[16:40] ---
    Who the hell are you?!
[16:42] ---
    What did you do to Sage Yuri?!
[16:46] ---
    I helped him reach the realm of the dead.
[16:50] ---
    You're Tartaros!
[16:52] ---
    Human-penned tales are boring, aren't they?
[16:58] ---
    I'll spin you a tale.
[17:02] ---
    A tale of demons.
[17:04] ---
    Lisanna, she's gonna attack!
[17:05] ---
    Right!
[17:09] ---
    Elf-nii-chan?
[17:13] ---
    It's not me!
[17:15] ---
    My body is moving on its own!
[17:19] ---
    Lisanna! Lisanna!
[17:22] ---
    I... I can't breathe...
[17:25] ---
    What did you do?! Stop it!
[17:27] ---
    Stop it right now!
[17:29] ---
    In demons' tales...
[17:32] ---
    ...you'll never find the word "mercy."
[17:36] ---
    Good! We finally got through!
[17:39] ---
    Lucy!
[17:40] ---
    The thing we brought got broken.
[17:43] ---
    This is one from the town.
[17:46] ---
    What's going on by you?
[17:47] ---
    Michello-san is safe.
[17:50] ---
    Though Natsu was hurt badly...
[17:53] ---
    I won!
[17:54] ---
    He defeated a member of Tartaros.
[17:56] ---
    I won!
[17:58] ---
    So it seems.
[18:00] ---
    The town is a wreck, though.
[18:02] ---
    And so is my hair...
[18:04] ---
    Did you get any info out of Michello?!
[18:08] ---
    Actually...
[18:11] ---
    White legacy...
[18:13] ---
    Face...
[18:16] ---
    I don't know anything...
[18:19] ---
    I really don't know anything...
[18:22] ---
    Face?
[18:24] ---
    Face... is one of the Council's weapons.
[18:37] ---
    Weapon?
[18:39] ---
    Why would the Council have that?
[18:41] ---
    It must be to maintain order
    in the magic community.
[18:44] ---
    Right now, I think we should
[18:47] ---
    continue to hear him out.
[18:50] ---
    We have many weapons.
[18:53] ---
    The way we manage each one is different...
[18:57] ---
    ...depending on its levels
    of danger and necessity.
[19:01] ---
    For example, Etherion.
[19:03] ---
    It's a super-powerful magic cannon
    that can target an entire continent.
[19:07] ---
    It has the power to decimate
    a nation in a moment.
[19:13] ---
    Firing it requires the permission
    of the nine current Council members
[19:18] ---
    and activation codes of ten senior members.
[19:24] ---
    In other words, with all the
    current members murdered...
[19:28] ---
    ...the Council can't use Etherion?
[19:32] ---
    Is one of their goals to neutralize Etherion?
[19:37] ---
    What kind of weapon is Face?!
[19:43] ---
    I know you're sworn to secrecy!
[19:45] ---
    But this is more important!
[19:51] ---
    Magical pulse bomb...
[19:54] ---
    It's a weapon that would destroy
    all magic over the whole continent.
[20:01] ---
    Wha...?!
[20:02] ---
    Magic all over the continent?!
[20:05] ---
    Destroyed?!
[20:09] ---
    All wizards would get
    magic deficiency disease.
[20:13] ---
    That's not all!
[20:14] ---
    That member said Tartaros' power
    comes from curses, not magic!
[20:19] ---
    So it would be a world in which all wizards
    would be suffering and unable to use magic,
[20:23] ---
    while only Tartaros could use their powers.
[20:28] ---
    To think they'd use a devastating
    weapon like that!
[20:35] ---
    Where is it?!
[20:37] ---
    We'll destroy it before they get there!
[20:40] ---
    I... I don't know...
[20:44] ---
    I swear...
[20:46] ---
    I've heard that
[20:47] ---
    three former Council members used
    Living Link Magic to seal it away,
[20:52] ---
    but only the former chairman
    knows who those three are.
[20:58] ---
    Living Link Magic...
[21:00] ---
    Three lives are the key to unlock the seal...
[21:04] ---
    That's why those bastards are killing them without
    trying to pump the members for information.
[21:10] ---
    Then in other words,
    they don't need information.
[21:15] ---
    So does Tartaros already know
    where Face is being hidden?
[21:20] ---
    If the three former members who are
    keeping it sealed are murdered,
[21:24] ---
    Face will belong to Tartaros, Gramps!
[21:26] ---
    We need to find those three
    and protect them, ASAP!
[21:30] ---
    The former chairman knows
    who they are, right?
[21:33] ---
    I... I believe so.
[21:39] ---
    Nobody's figured out the former
    chairman's address yet?!
[21:42] ---
    The enemy is targeting him, too, so hurry!
[21:47] ---
    It'll be okay! We found the addresses of 16
    more former Council members along the way.
[21:52] ---
    They're now under the personal protection
    of other guilds that agreed to help!
[21:59] ---
    The former chairman's address is among them!
[22:02] ---
    Send someone over there on the double!
[22:05] ---
    Relax. They're already on their way.
[22:14] ---
    Our two most reliable members!
[23:56] ---
    Erza and Mirajane are rushing over to
    Crawford, the former Council chairman.
[24:01] ---
    But it's all a ruse of Tartaros.
[24:04] ---
    Meanwhile, in order to get
    information on Tartaros,
[24:07] ---
    Doranbolt makes contact with
    Cobra of Oracion Seis.
[24:10] ---
    Now, with unwavering resolve,
    he makes an unforgivable decision.
[24:15] ---
    Next time: Tartaros Arc:
    Immorality and Sinners.
SIGN    Tartaros Arc Immorality and Sinners
[24:20] ---
    The prayers of sinners will
    reverberate through the wasteland.
