**[00:01] ---**
All kinds of charts are floating in the air.
**[00:03] ---**
That large sphere looks like a map.
**[00:10] ---**
Is this the control room?
**[00:13] ---**
They've made it this far already?
**[00:15] ---**
How shoddy are the sentries? How shoddy?
**[00:19] ---**
Look at this!
**[00:22] ---**
It's just like Erza said.
Face's seal has apparently been lifted.
**[00:27] ---**
What should we do?
**[00:29] ---**
We couldn't use this
magic circle to reseal it?
**[00:33] ---**
No. This is totally locked up.
**[00:37] ---**
We can't do anything with it.
**[00:39] ---**
Huh?
**[00:40] ---**
Even though this says it can
only be activated manually,
**[00:44] ---**
on site...
**[00:47] ---**
...it's already activated?!
**[00:50] ---**
You work fast, Ezel-san.
**[00:54] ---**
This is...
**[01:01] ---**
Face is going to go off...
**[01:04] ---**
...in 41 minutes.
**[01:10] ---**
41 minutes?!
**[01:12] ---**
In 41 minutes,
magic all across the continent...
**[01:15] ---**
You little brat!
**[01:21] ---**
Of all the souls inside me,
I'm gonna show you
**[01:26] ---**
my highest form!
**[01:35] ---**
Face, a magic pulse bomb that would
**[01:38] ---**
wipe out all magic throughout the continent.
**[01:41] ---**
Natsu and the others are fighting
to prevent it from going off,
**[01:45] ---**
while Wendy and Carla escaped the Cube
**[01:50] ---**
and are hurrying towards Cowbane Valley
to shut Face down directly.
**[01:55] ---**
However, not much time is left.
**[01:59] ---**
Will Wendy and Carla be able
to keep Face from going off?
**[03:42] ---**
Carla, go faster!
**[03:44] ---**
I'm trying!
**[03:45] ---**
If we don't get a move on,
we won't make it in time!
**[03:47] ---**
We can't let all magic throughout
the continent be extinguished!
**[03:53] ---**
But how are we going to stop Face?
**[03:56] ---**
I don't know! But we have to do it!
**[03:59] ---**
That's what Natsu-san would do.
We will stop it!
**[04:03] ---**
Carla, go faster!
Give it everything you've got!

**[04:24] ---**
What the...?
**[04:32] ---**
I don't believe it...
**[04:33] ---**
What's happening?
**[04:35] ---**
Why is *his* soul...
**[04:40] ---**
Master Hades!
**[04:42] ---**
No. It's a warped version of him!
**[04:47] ---**
Your body's just weird!
**[04:49] ---**
Not scary.
**[04:50] ---**
I don't care how I look.
**[04:53] ---**
I am Hades! Hades, remember?
**[04:56] ---**
So you say...
**[04:58] ---**
So you don't know it, eh?
**[05:02] ---**
The fearsome might of Master Hades...
**[05:05] ---**
Oh, I wouldn't say that.
**[05:07] ---**
We're pretty familiar with it.
**[05:09] ---**
I think you're the one who doesn't know it!
**[05:12] ---**
Fine. I shall enlighten you ignorant fools.
**[05:17] ---**
Um, the master of Grimoire Heart,
formerly the strongest dark guild,
**[05:23] ---**
a brilliant wizard who dove
too deeply into the darkness.
**[05:27] ---**
That is Master Hades!
**[05:29] ---**
Yes, we know that.
**[05:31] ---**
Hey, are you listening to us?
**[05:34] ---**
I was tracking down Zeref-sama seven
years ago when I happened upon this body.
**[05:39] ---**
This man was the closest thing to
a demon while still being human.
**[05:43] ---**
How much magic does he possess? How much?
**[05:47] ---**
Do you know how Hades kicked the bucket?
**[05:49] ---**
No, not even I know that.
**[05:55] ---**
We took him down!
**[06:03] ---**
Even if they come back, I ain't afraid
of anybody I beat once before.
**[06:07] ---**
Yeah, right? We've already won once.
**[06:11] ---**
On your own?
**[06:24] ---**
Natsu!
**[06:25] ---**
Appearance aside,
this magic is the real thing.
**[06:30] ---**
It's the power of one who was close
to the depths of magic.
**[06:43] ---**
There. Connection!
**[06:46] ---**
I'm going to take your soul!
**[06:49] ---**
Think so?!
**[06:52] ---**
Lightning Flame Dragon Mode!
**[06:55] ---**
Roar of the Lightning Flame Dragon!
**[07:07] ---**
That's a nice soul.
**[07:12] ---**
Absorb!
**[07:15] ---**
No way!
**[07:19] ---**
He absorbed the magic's soul?
**[07:22] ---**
In fact, what is a magic's soul?!
**[07:33] ---**
Is that even possible?
**[07:35] ---**
You're the one who defeated
Jackal-san, aren't you?
**[07:39] ---**
But I would advise you
not to underestimate us.
**[07:44] ---**
We're the demons of the Books of Zeref!
**[07:47] ---**
We are biological weapons
born from the demonic books
**[07:51] ---**
that the dark wizard Zeref wrote long ago.
**[07:54] ---**
Do not forget that just one of us
has the power of an entire army!
**[08:15] ---**
With my Curse power, Macro,
**[08:18] ---**
I can control anyone I cast it on,
making that person carry out my will.
**[08:22] ---**
So that's how you manipulated Elfman.
**[08:25] ---**
I see...
**[08:27] ---**
I'm going to make you pay.
You hurt my little brother and sister,
**[08:31] ---**
and now I'm going to make you pay!
**[08:47] ---**
Mira-nee! Don't get too into it!
**[08:49] ---**
Don't let her provoke you!
**[08:56] ---**
Humans are slaves to their emotions.
**[09:00] ---**
But I manipulate people from high above
as I spin my story.
**[09:05] ---**
You cannot beat me.
**[09:22] ---**
Don't assume that everything's going
to work out the way you want it to.
**[09:28] ---**
Satan Soul, Mirajane...
**[09:30] ---**
I'm going to eliminate you
for Kyoka-sama's sake, too!
**[09:33] ---**
Mira-nee! Look out!
**[09:43] ---**
Even in her Satan Soul form,
Mira-nee is on the defensive?!
**[09:50] ---**
Damn demon...
**[10:21] ---**
She's strong...
**[10:31] ---**
I'll ask you once more!
What is your purpose?!
**[10:35] ---**
What did you mean by
"being returned to Zeref"?!
**[10:39] ---**
Zeref created us.
**[10:42] ---**
In order to have an audience with our creator,
we are going to carry out his will
**[10:46] ---**
and fight on his behalf!
**[10:48] ---**
It's not going to work out for you!
**[10:51] ---**
I'm sure my comrades are already
on their way to stop Face!
**[10:54] ---**
It's not going to work out?
Is that what you say?
**[10:58] ---**
What?
**[11:02] ---**
Has she already made her move?
**[11:05] ---**
You don't have the leisure of thinking
about anything but here and now.
**[11:16] ---**
Hang in there, Carla!
**[11:17] ---**
I'm fine! I've still got
a lot of flying left in me!
**[11:23] ---**
What? What's this about Silver?
**[11:28] ---**
Then cut the nonsense and get ready!
**[11:32] ---**
This is the end of the line for you!
**[11:36] ---**
This bastard is like Juvia!
**[11:42] ---**
What are you trying to do?
Fight me like a man!
**[11:46] ---**
There is another who would be
more suitable for defeating you.
**[11:51] ---**
Trying to confuse me with words, huh?
**[11:54] ---**
Seems like demons love to gab!
**[11:58] ---**
Think of me as you like.
**[12:02] ---**
He's not even responding to me.
**[12:04] ---**
It would be a mistake to
treat your power lightly.
**[12:06] ---**
Which is why you are going
to stay here for awhile.
**[12:10] ---**
So keeping me here was the plan!
**[12:31] ---**
Th-This guy is...
**[12:33] ---**
...strong!
**[12:33] ---**
Is this all you've got?! It's not nearly
enough for a Man to redeem himself!
**[12:41] ---**
Where are my big sister and Lisanna?!
**[12:45] ---**
Juvia understands how
frustrated you must feel,
**[12:47] ---**
but Mira-san and Lisanna-san
wouldn't be beaten so easily!
**[12:51] ---**
Surely they're fine!
**[12:53] ---**
Yeah, you're right.
**[12:56] ---**
Wait for me, Sis and Lisanna!
**[13:06] ---**
A cavern in Cowbane Valley! There it is!
**[13:14] ---**
It's deep!
**[13:16] ---**
I wonder where Face is!
**[13:29] ---**
Wendy, I'm sorry. It seems
I used up too much magic.
**[13:34] ---**
Not at all. Thank you.
**[13:39] ---**
There's a cave. Let's check it out.
**[14:22] ---**
To begin with, your magic power
can't beat our Curse power.
**[14:29] ---**
On top of that, Face will
go off in ten minutes,
**[14:33] ---**
eradicating the magic of all
the wizards on this continent.
**[14:37] ---**
Do you understand?
The age of wizards is about to be over!
**[14:42] ---**
I can't believe that all the magic on
the entire continent would disappear!
**[14:47] ---**
Horologium! How much time is left?
**[14:49] ---**
Nine minutes and 43 seconds.
**[14:53] ---**
Everyone is in the middle of battle...
**[14:55] ---**
If we suddenly couldn't use magic
at a time like this...
**[15:00] ---**
Another one!
**[15:01] ---**
Let's kick its ass and
then go find my sisters!
**[15:09] ---**
Crap! We're separated from
Master and the others.
**[15:12] ---**
More importantly, where's that guy
who has the anti-magic particles?
**[15:16] ---**
I don't know, but if we fight, we'll
probably run into him sooner or later.
**[15:19] ---**
Let's get this over with so I can
sit down with some tasty booze.
**[15:23] ---**
Sheesh!
**[15:27] ---**
Just...
**[15:29] ---**
...nine minutes left.
**[15:32] ---**
If we couldn't use our magic now,
we wouldn't stand a chance!
**[15:37] ---**
Wendy, please!
**[15:39] ---**
I'm sure it'll be okay!
**[15:41] ---**
I'm sure it'll be okay!
Carla's with her, too.
**[15:45] ---**
Carla's really smart!
**[15:52] ---**
It's gotten dark.
**[15:54] ---**
The light from above doesn't reach this far.
**[15:57] ---**
I can't really see where I'm stepping.
**[16:02] ---**
Carla, are you all right?
**[16:05] ---**
Fine. I'm just tired.
**[16:08] ---**
Forget about me.
We need to find Face, and fast.
**[16:11] ---**
But how should we look for it when we
don't even know its shape or size?
**[16:17] ---**
What would Natsu-san do at a time like this?
**[16:20] ---**
Probably go on a rampage
and destroy the cave.
**[16:25] ---**
If I had more power...
**[16:28] ---**
Keep it together. There are
things you can do, too.
**[16:33] ---**
Concentrate and feel your magic.
**[16:36] ---**
Got it. I'll try.
**[17:11] ---**
I have no idea where we are now.
**[17:15] ---**
Stay cool.
**[17:17] ---**
Breathe deeply, Wendy.
**[17:19] ---**
Breathe deeply...
**[17:26] ---**
The air is fresh here...
**[17:29] ---**
Maybe that's because of the
low temperature and high humidity.
**[17:32] ---**
I have a feeling that's not all it is.
**[17:36] ---**
Wait, Wendy.
**[17:38] ---**
I think... I think we're on
to something important...
**[17:44] ---**
I'm so exhausted that I can't
get my thoughts in order.
**[17:46] ---**
But I have a feeling it's really important...
**[17:50] ---**
What's with this munchkin?
**[17:53] ---**
Damn you, Kyoka.
**[17:56] ---**
This slip of a girl won't fill me up!
**[18:00] ---**
Why'd she foist this task on me?!
**[18:05] ---**
Tartaros?!
**[18:06] ---**
Then you're the one who activated Face!
**[18:09] ---**
That's right!
**[18:11] ---**
Kyoka told me some fools
might be coming to stop Face,
**[18:14] ---**
and that I could just devour them.
**[18:17] ---**
So imagine my disappointment when
it turns out to be a little girl!
**[18:24] ---**
What should we do?! This is no time
to be fighting something like that!
**[18:28] ---**
Get back here!
**[18:29] ---**
We should get away! You're no match
for that guy on your own!
**[18:35] ---**
There's nowhere to run! I'll have to fight!
**[18:38] ---**
No, Wendy!
**[18:40] ---**
Elemental resistances rise! Deus Corona!
**[18:44] ---**
Physical abilities rise! Deus Equus!
**[18:51] ---**
Ile Arms! Ile Armor! Ile Vernier!
**[18:55] ---**
Enchant!
**[18:58] ---**
So you're an enchanter?
**[19:00] ---**
Roar of the Sky Dragon!
**[19:12] ---**
Is it okay to let loose on you?
**[19:15] ---**
Is it okay to let loose on a runt like this?
**[19:20] ---**
Claw of the Sky Dragon!
**[19:24] ---**
No effect!
**[19:25] ---**
Five Peerless Swords!
**[19:27] ---**
Wendy, dodge!
**[19:29] ---**
Ogre Circle!
**[19:48] ---**
Rosary Circle!
**[19:50] ---**
Wendy!
**[19:53] ---**
Even though I added layers
of defensive magic! How...?!
**[20:09] ---**
Look.
**[20:16] ---**
This is Face.
**[20:21] ---**
This is...
**[20:24] ---**
It'll go off in five minutes.
**[20:26] ---**
And since we're right next to it, there's an
extremely dense concentration of Ethernanos.
**[20:30] ---**
I can't stand the stink.
**[20:33] ---**
Ethernanos...
**[20:36] ---**
But those Ethernanos things destroy magic.
**[20:40] ---**
After the continent is robbed of magic,
our Curses will rule the world!
**[20:46] ---**
Ethernanos...
**[20:48] ---**
That's right. What popped
into my head before...
**[20:54] ---**
But before that, I'm going to pulverize you!
**[21:01] ---**
Let go of Wendy!
**[21:03] ---**
You big brute!
**[21:04] ---**
Carla...
**[21:05] ---**
Let her go!
**[21:07] ---**
Don't! Get away!
**[21:10] ---**
Let go of Wendy!
**[21:14] ---**
You stupid...
**[21:17] ---**
Carla, fly away!
**[21:19] ---**
What is this cat? Are you edible?
**[21:22] ---**
Don't! Please!
**[21:26] ---**
No!!
**[21:30] ---**
Wendy, the air...
**[21:34] ---**
The air...
**[21:36] ---**
Fresh air...
**[21:38] ---**
A high concentration of Ethernanos
floating in the air near Face...
**[21:42] ---**
This is why the air felt so fresh.
**[21:47] ---**
If I can get them in my body,
**[21:50] ---**
maybe I could become like Natsu-san!
**[22:04] ---**
What the...?!
**[22:10] ---**
Wendy was weak and timid before...
**[22:16] ---**
...but now...
**[22:19] ---**
...she has the Dragon Force!
**[23:56] ---**
Only minutes are left before Face goes off.
**[24:00] ---**
In this extreme situation,
Wendy obtains the Dragon Force at last.
**[24:05] ---**
She confronts the charging Ezel, and right
when it seems the battle is about to end,
**[24:10] ---**
cruel fate shows its hand to Wendy and Carla.
**[24:15] ---**

Friends Forever.
