**[00:00] ---**
Natsu, Happy, and Lucy,
hoping to rebuild Fairy Tail,
**[00:05] ---**
set out to find their old friends.
**[00:07] ---**
They found Wendy and Charle
working for the Lamia Scale guild.
**[00:13] ---**
However...
**[00:15] ---**
The Sky Sisters! Shelia and Wendy!
**[00:26] ---**
I'm a Lamia Scale wizard now.
**[00:29] ---**
I can't go with you.
**[00:33] ---**
Sticking around just out of pity...
**[00:37] ---**
That doesn't sound like what a friend would do.
**[00:42] ---**
Tonight, the hammer of judgment
will fall upon Lamia Scale.
**[00:46] ---**
The thanksgiving festival of blood begins!
**[00:49] ---**
Using monsters to attack us...
Orochi is utterly despicable.
**[00:55] ---**
I'm all fired up! Let's go, Happy!
**[00:59] ---**
Aye, Sir!
**[01:01] ---**
Sorry, Natsu!
**[01:07] ---**
Move!
**[01:11] ---**
Whoa!
**[01:13] ---**
He's more of a monster than them!
**[01:16] ---**
No matter how far, far away we are
**[01:20] ---**
you just need to keep on believing
**[01:23] ---**
So, please, stop crying, look up...
**[01:27] ---**
...and let's move forward together
**[01:45] ---**
Why do you look down
**[01:47] ---**
and stare at the tears you've shed?
**[01:52] ---**
Even if today is a bust
**[01:54] ---**
we can always walk forward with faith in tomorrow
**[01:59] ---**
Having someone who can reach out to me
**[02:03] ---**
and someone I can laugh with
**[02:06] ---**
gives me a new strength
**[02:11] ---**
that can change the world as we know it
**[02:13] ---**
No matter how far, far away we are
**[02:18] ---**
you just need to keep on believing
**[02:21] ---**
everything is for you for you
**[02:23] ---**
The morning sun has driven the night away
**[02:28] ---**
I won't be afraid or hesitate anymore
**[02:31] ---**
I'm going to turn my dream into reality
**[02:35] ---**
So, please, stop crying, look up...
**[02:40] ---**
...and let's move forward together
**[02:51] ---**
So many monsters!
**[02:53] ---**
And they're all about to attack the city...
**[02:57] ---**
We'll let Lyon and the others
handle the city's defense.
**[03:00] ---**
Plus, Natsu and Lucy are there, too.
**[03:02] ---**
We're going to strike at
Orochi Fin's heart: its monster tamer.
**[03:07] ---**
Sorry, Happy.
**[03:09] ---**
Oh, I'm fine. You're not heavy, like Lucy.
**[03:14] ---**
No, I mean... I just really want
to protect the city myself!
**[03:21] ---**
Shelia...
**[03:26] ---**
"Because of Love"
**[03:31] ---**
It's funny, isn't it?
**[03:33] ---**
We first met as enemies,
**[03:36] ---**
but now we're trying to protect
Lamia Scale together.
**[03:40] ---**
It's all thanks to you.
You offered to be my friend afterward.
**[03:45] ---**
No. It's because you accepted my offer.
**[03:58] ---**
U-Um, are you all right?!
**[04:13] ---**
I-It's nice to meet you!
**[04:16] ---**
Mm! Same to you!
**[04:24] ---**
Dragon Slayer Secret Art!
Shattering Light: Sky Drill!
**[04:39] ---**
You're really amazing, Wendy!
**[04:45] ---**
I don't hate fighting,
**[04:49] ---**
but I have no love for one-sided
violence in a match with a clear outcome.
**[04:54] ---**
I don't need pity!
**[04:57] ---**
Please fight me with everything you have
**[04:59] ---**
until I fall and can no longer move! Please!
**[05:03] ---**
Responding to full-powered feelings
with full power of your own!
**[05:07] ---**
That's love!
**[05:11] ---**
Gathering Clouds of Heaven!
**[05:17] ---**
Sky Dragon Crushing Fang!
**[05:42] ---**
I had a lot of fun, Wendy!
**[05:46] ---**
Oh, my injuries...
**[05:48] ---**
I-I had a little fun, too.
**[05:54] ---**
Let's be friends, Wendy!
**[05:57] ---**
Yes, Shelia!
**[06:08] ---**
There they are!
**[06:09] ---**
Where? Where?
**[06:11] ---**
A-ha! There!
**[06:12] ---**
Let's drop in on them!
**[06:14] ---**
Aye, Sir!
**[06:18] ---**
Who are they?!
**[06:25] ---**
The Sky Sisters!
**[06:34] ---**
Sky Dragon...
**[06:36] ---**
Sky God...
**[06:37] ---**
...Roar!
**[06:39] ---**
...Howl!
**[06:45] ---**
Get it together! They're just two girls!
**[06:48] ---**
Excuse me. Count again.
**[06:53] ---**
White Moon!
**[06:59] ---**
Charle!
**[07:10] ---**
It's time to show off
the results of my training, too.
**[07:13] ---**
Just go hide somewhere!
**[07:22] ---**
Sky Dragon Wing Attack!
**[07:26] ---**
I'll handle the monster tamer!
**[07:28] ---**
Shelia! You need to stay closer!
**[07:30] ---**
I have to stop the horde of monsters!
**[07:33] ---**
Sky God Dance!
**[07:47] ---**
This smell... It seems familiar.
**[07:57] ---**
Outta my way!
**[08:01] ---**
I'm coming for you, Happy thief!
**[08:14] ---**
They're here!
**[08:17] ---**
Here goes!
**[08:19] ---**
Open, Gate of the Lion!
**[08:23] ---**
Loke!
**[08:24] ---**
Lucy's knight has arrived!
**[08:27] ---**
And...
**[08:29] ---**
Star Dress: Leo Form!
**[08:35] ---**
Is that Erza's spell?
**[08:37] ---**
Requip magic?
**[08:38] ---**
It's a little different, actually.
**[08:40] ---**
You look wonderful, Lucy!
**[08:42] ---**
When I summon a celestial spirit,
I direct some of their magic into me.
**[08:46] ---**
--So wonderful!
--Quit it.
**[08:49] ---**
In any case, this means I can fight, too!
**[08:52] ---**
In a dress?!
**[08:53] ---**
That's my wife for you!
**[08:55] ---**
That's good to hear.
**[09:00] ---**
Ice Make...
**[09:02] ---**
...Eagle!
**[09:05] ---**
My turn! Ultra-Poison Nails:
Mega-Mega Jellyfish!
**[09:11] ---**
Wave!
**[09:15] ---**
It's spinning time!
**[09:18] ---**
Regulus Impact!
**[09:23] ---**
Regulus Lucy...
**[09:25] ---**
...Kick!
**[09:26] ---**
That's all?!
**[09:28] ---**
It's a light-based attack, by the way.
**[09:34] ---**
Sky Dragon Talon!
**[09:37] ---**
Sky God Boreas!
**[09:43] ---**
Where is the monster tamer?!
**[09:46] ---**
There!
**[09:48] ---**
That's him!
**[09:50] ---**
Look out, Shelia!
**[09:54] ---**
Wendy...
**[09:56] ---**
Shall I step in?
**[09:58] ---**
No. They're not worth your trouble.
**[10:04] ---**
--Are you okay?
--I'm sorry...
**[10:07] ---**
I've seen that girl before.
**[10:12] ---**
S-Sir?!
**[10:15] ---**
Let's see how you "fly" now.
**[10:30] ---**
What is this?!
**[10:33] ---**
The ground...!
**[10:44] ---**
Isn't that...?!
**[10:46] ---**
Bluenote Stinger of Grimoire Heart!
**[10:57] ---**
--I...
--...can't move!
**[11:01] ---**
No one can move under
the force of my gravity.
**[11:05] ---**
Sir! You're going too far!
**[11:08] ---**
You're harming my wizards, too!
**[11:12] ---**
Err, forget I said anything.
Please do as you wish...
**[11:17] ---**
What is he doing here?
**[11:29] ---**
Black Hole!
**[11:32] ---**
Fly! Fly!
**[11:37] ---**
I'll start with...
**[11:44] ---**
Shelia!
**[11:46] ---**
Found ya!
**[11:49] ---**
Natsu!
**[11:51] ---**
Natsu!
**[11:52] ---**
He's standing up...
**[11:54] ---**
...like it's nothing!
**[12:06] ---**
How dare you steal Happy away!
**[12:09] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[12:11] ---**
Natsu! This is no time for that!
**[12:14] ---**
That guy who tormented us on
Tenrou Island is here!
**[12:19] ---**
Bluenote!
**[12:25] ---**
I don't remember him.
**[12:26] ---**
You can't be serious!
**[12:28] ---**
I've seen him before, too.
**[12:31] ---**
No idea what you're talking about!
**[12:35] ---**
I'm being crushed...
**[12:38] ---**
Fire Dragon Roar!
**[12:45] ---**
You're annoying me, scum!
**[12:50] ---**
He was just a small fry.
**[12:54] ---**
Yet...
**[12:56] ---**
Why does his obnoxious face
annoy me so much?!
**[13:02] ---**
S-Such magic power!
**[13:05] ---**
N-Not even I can take a single step!
**[13:10] ---**
Sir!
**[13:11] ---**
This one is trouble!
**[13:15] ---**
I'll crush you!
**[13:24] ---**
That's what you think!
**[13:30] ---**
-His flames...
**[13:32] ---**
...are lifting the ground up!
**[13:34] ---**
Impossible!
**[13:37] ---**
Fairy Tail won't stay down!
**[13:43] ---**
Fairy Tail?!
**[13:45] ---**
Now I remember!
**[13:47] ---**
Those Fairy Tail members!
**[13:56] ---**
I won't let you hold us down!
**[13:59] ---**
Black Hole!
**[14:05] ---**
This guy can "fly!"
**[14:42] ---**
Just one attack?!
**[14:44] ---**
How much stronger did he get this past year?!
**[14:50] ---**
You know better than to steal--
**[14:52] ---**
Uhh, my clothes are on fire here!
**[14:55] ---**
Never mind the lecture, Natsu.
Look around you.
**[15:00] ---**
The bad guys are still--
**[15:06] ---**
We surrender.
**[15:12] ---**
Looks like all the monsters
turned around and left.
**[15:19] ---**
--Thank goodness!
--It was a natural outcome.
**[15:23] ---**
You saved the day. We thank you again.
**[15:26] ---**
I need more to wreck.
**[15:28] ---**
I'd say you did plenty, Natsu.
**[15:31] ---**
I can't believe Orochi Fin
went and hired Bluenote.
**[15:35] ---**
Bluenote?
**[15:36] ---**
Oh! You mean that guy?!
**[15:38] ---**
You only just remembered him?
**[15:41] ---**
It's understandable.
**[15:43] ---**
Something even worse attacked us
on Tenrou Island after that.
**[15:46] ---**
Huh? Really? Now I'm the one
who can't remember.
**[15:51] ---**
Acnologia.
**[15:53] ---**
Oh, so you do remember that.
**[15:55] ---**
I couldn't forget him even if I wanted to.
**[16:54] ---**
Come to think of it,
what about Wendy and Shelia?
**[16:57] ---**
Oh, in three years' time,
they'll both be my--
**[17:00] ---**
They said they needed to talk alone.
**[17:07] ---**
So much for my plan.
**[17:09] ---**
Huh? What plan?
**[17:11] ---**
I wanted to prove to you that
I'd be fine on my own.
**[17:18] ---**
Except Natsu wrecked all of that.
**[17:22] ---**
Well, he is Natsu.
**[17:27] ---**
You need to be by Natsu's side.
**[17:31] ---**
Huh?
**[17:33] ---**
You love him, right?
**[17:35] ---**
Wha--?! N-N-No, I'm just...!
**[17:38] ---**
I don't think it's like that.
**[17:41] ---**
It's more like I look up to him,
like a big brother...
**[17:44] ---**
That's a type of love, too.
**[17:51] ---**
You'll have regrets if you don't go.
**[17:55] ---**
It's like Natsu said. Fairy Tail isn't gone.
**[17:59] ---**
He loves you... And he loves Fairy Tail.
**[18:04] ---**
That's what brought him here.
**[18:08] ---**
I'm...
**[18:11] ---**
Be true to yourself, Wendy.
**[18:14] ---**
Even if we're in different guilds,
we'll always be friends.
**[18:19] ---**
Shelia...
**[18:27] ---**
Friends forever.
**[18:29] ---**
Mm.
**[18:52] ---**
Thank you for everything!
**[18:55] ---**
Take care, Wendy.
**[18:56] ---**
I suppose I should thank you as well.
**[18:59] ---**
You take care, too, Charle.
**[19:01] ---**
I really... don't know what to say...
**[19:04] ---**
This feels so selfish of me...
**[19:10] ---**
This was part of the agreement
when you joined, remember?
**[19:13] ---**
--Mm.
--Really?!
**[19:16] ---**
We agreed to stay with them
until Fairy Tail was rebuilt.
**[19:20] ---**
--Charle!
--Don't go!
**[19:23] ---**
Even so...
**[19:25] ---**
Sheesh. Pull yourself together.
**[19:28] ---**
Wendy and Charle didn't forget
about Fairy Tail after all!
**[19:33] ---**
Oh, Wendy. You're such a crybaby.
**[19:36] ---**
I can't help it...
**[19:40] ---**
Don't worry. I'll take over
as one of the Sky Sisters.
**[19:45] ---**
Please don't.
**[19:46] ---**
How about me?
**[19:48] ---**
Definitely please don't!
**[19:50] ---**
Good luck with rebuilding Fairy Tail!
**[19:53] ---**
Thanks!
**[19:54] ---**
Give Gray my regards.
**[19:56] ---**
Speaking of which,
I've actually lost track of Gray.
**[20:02] ---**
Watch yourself out there!
**[20:07] ---**
Take care, Wendy!
**[20:10] ---**
Right! You, too, Shelia!
**[20:24] ---**
It's okay to cry now.
**[20:31] ---**
I won't cry! Because I want
Fairy Tail to get rebuilt, too!
**[20:49] ---**
Are you ever going to stop crying, Wendy?
**[20:53] ---**
It's just... They were all so kind to us
after Fairy Tail disbanded...
**[21:01] ---**
Plus, I finally found you guys again...
**[21:04] ---**
She's crying out of sadness and happiness!
**[21:08] ---**
We're just getting started.
**[21:10] ---**
We're gonna get everyone back together!
**[21:15] ---**
Right!
**[21:17] ---**
Hey. Where to next?
**[21:20] ---**
Good question.
**[21:23] ---**
To the east of here is a place
called Rain Bringer Village.
**[21:29] ---**
Rain Bringer?
**[21:32] ---**
Apparently, it never stops raining there.
**[21:35] ---**
Oh? Does that mean...?
**[21:50] ---**
Until you fall asleep, until you give that smile
**[22:00] ---**
You are beautiful to me more than anything
**[22:24] ---**
Under the same sky,
we look up at the same stars
**[22:35] ---**
May the dream we shared come true now
**[22:46] ---**
There's no doubt we can achieve
the future we wished for
**[22:59] ---**
as our harmonies connect
and stretch endlessly along this path
**[23:21] ---**
While searching for their guildmates,
**[23:23] ---**
Natsu and friends find a brokenhearted
Juvia in Rain Bringer Village.
**[23:27] ---**
When she shares what Gray
has been up to lately,
**[23:30] ---**
Natsu is reminded of a worrying
truth he learned a year earlier.
**[23:35] ---**
As a dark shadow corrodes Gray's body,
**[23:37] ---**
new dark threads coil around his
heart and stain it pitch black.
**[23:42] ---**
Next Episode: "Avatar."
**[23:42] ---**
"Avatar"
**[23:44] ---**
With the dark guilds gone,
**[23:46] ---**
an era of a new type of darkness begins.
