**[00:01] ---**
Don't give up, humans!
**[00:15] ---**
That big-ass face...
**[00:16] ---**
It pisses me off.
**[00:18] ---**
I can't believe we couldn't destroy it
with Christine's cannons...
**[00:23] ---**
Ichiya-san, what should we do?
**[00:25] ---**
Never mind about the cannons.
The ship's losing magic fast.
**[00:30] ---**
We're gonna drop!
**[00:31] ---**
Is this where it ends?
**[00:34] ---**
Move back.
**[00:36] ---**
Who's that?
**[00:40] ---**
There!
**[00:41] ---**
Evasive action!
**[00:52] ---**
What was that?!
**[00:54] ---**
A bird?
**[00:56] ---**
Grandine!
**[01:07] ---**
That's... a dragon.
**[01:09] ---**
What's it doing?
**[01:11] ---**
Anyway, let's hurry.
**[01:18] ---**
To Magnolia...
**[01:25] ---**
The Face marks are disappearing
one after another!
**[01:31] ---**
Metallicana...
**[01:38] ---**
I sense Weisslogia...
but he should be dead...
**[01:42] ---**
Skiadrum is here, too?
**[01:46] ---**
The unleashed dragons...
**[01:52] ---**
...are dancing in the sky over Ishgar.
**[02:02] ---**
It's a miracle...
**[02:16] ---**
Awesome...
**[04:03] ---**
You...
**[04:05] ---**
Not budging in the least...
**[04:07] ---**
Is the magic already gone?
**[04:13] ---**
I can't move...
**[04:14] ---**
That's it...
**[04:18] ---**
Kagura-chan! Look! Something's coming!
**[04:22] ---**
What is it?
**[04:24] ---**
That's...
**[04:36] ---**
...Grandine!
**[04:42] ---**
With just one blow!
**[04:45] ---**
What was that?!
**[04:47] ---**
A huge kitty-cat?
**[04:49] ---**
No. It may have been...
**[04:52] ---**
...a dragon!
**[04:58] ---**
None of my magic has an effect on it?!
**[05:03] ---**
My uselessness is pathetic!
**[05:10] ---**
Is this some kind of joke?
**[05:21] ---**
Is this a dream... or reality?!
**[05:25] ---**
What might! What destructive force!
**[05:29] ---**
A dragon is our savior?!
***SIGN*** Tartaros Arc: Drops of Flame
**[06:06] ---**
I sense it...
**[06:15] ---**
Weisslogia...
**[06:27] ---**
What is it?!
**[06:28] ---**
Something's approaching!
**[06:34] ---**
It's a dragon!
**[06:35] ---**
Now there's even a dragon overhead?!
**[06:37] ---**
It's all over!
**[06:39] ---**
Retreat! Run!
**[06:45] ---**
Skiadrum...
**[06:55] ---**
The dragon...
**[06:56] ---**
...destroyed that thing!
**[06:58] ---**
What the hell is going on here?!
**[07:09] ---**
Um... What does this mean?
**[07:12] ---**
What's going on outside?!
**[07:24] ---**
Ichiya-san! Christina's
magic is being replenished!
**[07:28] ---**
How about communications?
**[07:29] ---**
Messages are coming in from guilds all over!
**[07:32] ---**
"A dragon came flying in,
**[07:34] ---**
and is destroying Face!"
**[07:37] ---**
What does it mean?
**[07:48] ---**
Unbelievable! The Face units are
going down, one after another!
**[07:52] ---**
How much will our loss be?! How much?!
**[08:07] ---**
Whoa...
**[08:23] ---**
Yes!
**[08:24] ---**
All the Faces are gone!
**[08:26] ---**
How?
**[08:27] ---**
I have no idea.
**[08:30] ---**
Neither does Fro!
**[08:32] ---**
Anyway...
**[08:33] ---**
Yes. Now magic...
**[08:36] ---**
...won't disappear from the world.
**[08:42] ---**
The dragons...
**[08:44] ---**
...destroyed those Face things
across the continent.
**[08:47] ---**
I feel it! The magic is back!
**[08:52] ---**
Then it's over.
**[08:54] ---**
But...
**[08:55] ---**
...the power of human wizards...
**[09:00] ---**
...is still so small.
**[09:02] ---**
Dragons!
**[09:05] ---**
I never dreamed that dragons
would save the continent.
**[09:29] ---**
We prevented END's resurrection.
**[09:33] ---**
We won.
**[09:46] ---**
This is bad!
**[09:48] ---**
Without the return of Master END, what's
the probability of my survival? How much?
**[09:57] ---**
Defeat...
**[10:09] ---**
Weisslogia was...
**[10:11] ---**
...alive all this time?!
**[10:13] ---**
Skiadrum, Metallicana, and Grandine, too...
**[10:19] ---**
All of us were inside
the Dragon Slayers' bodies.
**[10:24] ---**
Or to be more precise, we were
lying dormant inside your bodies
**[10:28] ---**
through a secret art.
**[10:31] ---**
And when I felt that pulsating...
**[10:35] ---**
...that was you rising up inside of me?
**[10:37] ---**
That's right! Come to think of it,
I didn't ask about that.
**[10:41] ---**
Why the hell were you inside my body?!
**[10:43] ---**
I don't remember eatin' you!
**[10:46] ---**
There are two reasons for that.
**[10:49] ---**
The first is him.
**[10:52] ---**
It was to prevent
**[10:53] ---**
Dragon Slayers from turning
into dragons, like Acnologia.
**[11:00] ---**
You know, this other dragon, Zirconis,
said something like that.
**[11:04] ---**
He was once human, huh?
**[11:06] ---**
Yes.
**[11:09] ---**
The other reason...
**[11:22] ---**
Igneel!
**[11:24] ---**
I'll tell you after I deal with him!
**[11:27] ---**
Get that book!
**[11:29] ---**
Igneel!
**[11:31] ---**
What did he just say?
**[11:33] ---**
Book?
**[11:35] ---**
This book, right?
**[11:38] ---**
The Book of END.
**[11:41] ---**
Gray...
**[11:43] ---**
I made a promise...
**[11:46] ---**
...to defeat END without fail.
**[11:48] ---**
Jackass...
**[11:53] ---**
To keep Dragon Slayers from
transforming into dragons...
**[11:57] ---**
...you inhabited their bodies?
**[12:00] ---**
What is your aim?!
**[12:02] ---**
You feared END and now he is gone.
**[12:08] ---**
Leave the humans alone!
**[12:10] ---**
Feared?
**[12:12] ---**
The likes of a demon from the Books of Zeref?
**[12:16] ---**
Nonsense.
**[12:18] ---**
I am Acnologia, King of the Dragons!
**[12:21] ---**
You were once human, too!
**[12:25] ---**
I won't let you make Natsu
and the others like you!
**[12:29] ---**
My desire is the destruction of everything.
**[12:32] ---**
Destruction! Destruction!
**[12:43] ---**
Natsu-san, Gray-san, both of you, stop it!
**[12:46] ---**
This is why Fairy Tail is...
**[12:57] ---**
It's gone!
**[12:58] ---**
Gray!
**[12:58] ---**
It wasn't me!
**[13:02] ---**
This is my book.
**[13:11] ---**
I'm taking it back.
**[13:18] ---**
It's an important book.
**[13:42] ---**
It's gone!
**[13:43] ---**
Gray!
**[13:44] ---**
It wasn't me!
**[13:48] ---**
This is my book.
**[13:57] ---**
I'm taking it back.
**[14:04] ---**
It's an important book.
**[14:08] ---**
Zeref!
**[14:13] ---**
That's...
**[14:22] ---**
Mard Geer...
**[14:24] ---**
You did well.
**[14:26] ---**
You were one step away from reviving END.
**[14:34] ---**
Now you can sleep.
**[14:40] ---**
Mard Geer...
**[14:42] ---**
...can bring about...
**[14:44] ---**
...whatever you desire...
**[14:46] ---**
No.
**[14:48] ---**
You can't.
**[15:15] ---**
You!
**[15:17] ---**
You created that demon yourself!
**[15:19] ---**
True.
**[15:21] ---**
But I had no more need of it.
**[15:26] ---**
I came here to settle things
once and for all between us.
**[15:31] ---**
But Acnologia got in the way.
**[15:35] ---**
Will he end history once again?
**[15:38] ---**
Or will a miracle happen?
**[15:41] ---**
I don't know.
**[15:44] ---**
What are you talkin' about?
**[15:50] ---**
If you can survive these
hopeless circumstances...
**[15:56] ---**
...then...
**[16:01] ---**
...I will give you even more despair.
**[16:20] ---**
That bastard...
**[16:22] ---**
He took the book!
**[16:29] ---**
Zeref...
**[16:42] ---**
Destruction...
**[16:43] ---**
Destruction!
**[16:45] ---**
Is this all the power you possess,
**[16:47] ---**
King of the Fire Dragons?
**[16:49] ---**
Well, I was asleep for a long time.
**[16:59] ---**
Natsu...
**[17:02] ---**
Igneel!
**[17:03] ---**
There is something I need to
tell you while I have the chance.
**[17:08] ---**
There were two reasons
we dragons lived inside
**[17:13] ---**
the bodies of you Dragon Slayers.
**[17:16] ---**
The first was as I said, to prevent
you from turning into dragons
**[17:21] ---**
by creating antibodies.
**[17:23] ---**
Owing to that, there is almost no chance
you will ever become dragons.
**[17:32] ---**
Natsu!
**[17:33] ---**
I never showed myself before
under any circumstances
**[17:38] ---**
because I was busy making these antibodies.
**[17:42] ---**
And the other reason
**[17:45] ---**
was to defeat our negative legacy,
Acnologia, ourselves.
**[17:51] ---**
We were waiting for an opportunity.
**[17:55] ---**
You can tell me all that later!
**[17:59] ---**
Wait, Igneel!
**[18:01] ---**
I'm comin' to help you!
**[18:03] ---**
You must stay away!
**[18:05] ---**
Acnologia is stronger than I expected.
**[18:10] ---**
You don't want to get involved in this.
**[18:12] ---**
Sure I do!
**[18:13] ---**
You an' me together, we'll be invincible!
**[18:21] ---**
I was waiting for this moment.
**[18:24] ---**
The moment I could kill
Acnologia with my own claws!
**[19:06] ---**
Natsu...
**[19:09] ---**
Natsu!
**[19:10] ---**
Dad, I got it!
**[19:13] ---**
All right! Now get cooking.
**[19:15] ---**
You'll provide the fire, right?
**[19:17] ---**
What are you talking about?
You can do that yourself!
**[19:20] ---**
Tch! What, again?
**[19:23] ---**
It's what you have to do if
you wish to eat. So go ahead!
**[19:32] ---**
I did it! How's that?! Perfect, right?
**[19:35] ---**
All of the words are
spelled wrong. Start over!
**[19:40] ---**
What, again?!
**[19:42] ---**
Quit griping and just do it!
**[19:45] ---**
Darn it! Fine, watch this!
I'll get it perfect this time!
**[19:56] ---**
This feels great!
**[19:58] ---**
Hold on tight!
**[20:04] ---**
Dad, don't go crazy!
**[20:07] ---**
You're crying over a little height?
**[20:10] ---**
Here we go!
**[20:15] ---**
I... I didn't fall off! How was that?!
**[20:19] ---**
We're not done!
**[20:22] ---**
I'm still not gonna fall off!
**[20:28] ---**
Watch this, Dad!
**[20:30] ---**
Here I go!
**[20:32] ---**
Roar of the Fire Dragon!
**[20:35] ---**
How was that?!
**[20:36] ---**
You call that a roar?
It wouldn't even cook a meal.
**[20:40] ---**
What's that?!
**[20:42] ---**
Watch.
**[20:44] ---**
Roar of the...
**[20:46] ---**
...Fire Dragon!
**[20:52] ---**
You shouldn't cut down mountains, Dad.
**[20:54] ---**
I guess that was a bit too much.
**[20:59] ---**
Awesome!
**[21:01] ---**
All right, I can do that, too!
**[21:03] ---**
Accumulate as much power
as you can in your belly.
**[21:05] ---**
Then do it again and again.
**[21:08] ---**
Leave it to me!
**[21:32] ---**
Natsu...
**[21:34] ---**
I've been watching you grow up all this time.
**[21:40] ---**
You've gotten... so big.
**[21:49] ---**
The days I spent with you
**[21:51] ---**
were the happiest ones of my life.
**[22:01] ---**
You gave me the power to love.
**[22:15] ---**
Igneel!
**[23:56] ---**
The battle is over.
**[23:57] ---**
Fairy Tail pulled off a victory at the
cost of many irreplaceable things.
**[24:02] ---**
In the newly battle-scarred wilderness,
**[24:05] ---**
while the dragons reveal the startling truth,
**[24:08] ---**
Natsu can't stop the tears from
trickling down his face
**[24:11] ---**
as his father's unforgettable words
become etched in his heart.
**[24:15] ---**
