**[00:03] ---**
I'm sorry. Some happy reunion
this turned out to be.
**[00:11] ---**
I'll find him for you.
**[00:13] ---**
For all of us.
**[00:16] ---**
We're gonna get everyone back together...
**[00:19] ---**
...and rebuild Fairy Tail!
**[00:28] ---**
Hey, Natsu. Are you sure Gray's in there?
**[00:31] ---**
Yeah. No doubt about it.
**[00:34] ---**
We need to take him back to Juvia right away.
**[00:38] ---**
Man, this place sure is gloomy.
**[00:40] ---**
Why would they build it here, of all places?
**[00:43] ---**
These guys are shady, through and through.
**[00:46] ---**
--All right! Charge!
--Aye, Sir!
**[00:49] ---**
Hold on!
**[00:52] ---**
That hurts, Lucy...
**[00:53] ---**
What's the big idea?!
**[00:55] ---**
We don't really know who
we're dealing with this time.
**[00:59] ---**
Rushing straight in isn't the best idea.
**[01:03] ---**
But Gray might be in there!
**[01:06] ---**
Precisely. We need to be cautious
and gather info first.
**[01:10] ---**
Fair enough.
**[01:12] ---**
Virgo can help us sneak into
the church from under the ground.
**[01:16] ---**
Oh!
**[01:17] ---**
Come out, Virgo!
**[01:19] ---**
Open, Gate of the Maiden!
**[01:21] ---**
Vir...
**[01:24] ---**
...go?
**[01:28] ---**
No matter how far, far away we are
**[01:32] ---**
you just need to keep on believing
**[01:35] ---**
So, please, stop crying, look up...
**[01:39] ---**
...and let's move forward together
**[01:57] ---**
Why do you look down
**[01:59] ---**
and stare at the tears you've shed?
**[02:04] ---**
Even if today is a bust
**[02:06] ---**
we can always walk forward with faith in tomorrow
**[02:11] ---**
Having someone who can reach out to me
**[02:15] ---**
and someone I can laugh with
**[02:18] ---**
gives me a new strength
**[02:23] ---**
that can change the world as we know it
**[02:25] ---**
No matter how far, far away we are
**[02:30] ---**
you just need to keep on believing
**[02:33] ---**
everything is for you for you
**[02:35] ---**
The morning sun has driven the night away
**[02:40] ---**
I won't be afraid or hesitate anymore
**[02:43] ---**
I'm going to turn my dream into reality
**[02:47] ---**
So, please, stop crying, look up...
**[02:52] ---**
...and let's move forward together
**[02:58] ---**
Virgo needs help.
**[03:00] ---**
Wh-What happened?! Are you okay?!
**[03:02] ---**
Who did this to you?!
**[03:04] ---**
Oh, don't mind me.
**[03:06] ---**
Huh?
**[03:07] ---**
I had free time, so I decided to punish myself.
**[03:10] ---**
Are you for real?
**[03:12] ---**
There's so much to learn about celestial spirits!
**[03:15] ---**
Aye...
**[03:16] ---**
It's good to see you again,
Sir Natsu and Sir Happy.
**[03:19] ---**
Well, whatever.
**[03:20] ---**
Okay! Here goes!
**[03:24] ---**
Star Dress: Virgo Form!
**[03:29] ---**
She transformed!
**[03:30] ---**
Reminds me of a certain scary armor person!
**[03:33] ---**
It grants her some of my abilities
and increases her magic power.
**[03:38] ---**
Let's do it, Virgo!
**[03:40] ---**
Yes, Princess!
**[03:45] ---**
"Underground Clash"
**[04:02] ---**
Infiltration complete.
**[04:04] ---**
Is this the basement?
**[04:06] ---**
Hey!
**[04:07] ---**
Move your butt already!
**[04:09] ---**
Natsu. Lucy's panties were
showing the whole time.
**[04:13] ---**
I wonder what the Avatar guys are doing here.
**[04:17] ---**
Beats me.
**[04:18] ---**
Farting around, I guess.
**[04:20] ---**
We need to find info about Gray
without getting spotted.
**[04:24] ---**
Gray!
**[04:26] ---**
If you're here, show yourself!
**[04:33] ---**
That shouting...
**[04:35] ---**
I don't recognize his voice.
**[04:37] ---**
It's coming from inside the church.
Does that mean...?
**[04:40] ---**
Intruders? This sounds like fun!
**[04:47] ---**
Natsu?
**[04:48] ---**
What did you do that for?!
**[04:50] ---**
You ruined our whole reason for sneaking in!
**[04:53] ---**
I assume this calls for punishment, Princess?
**[04:56] ---**
I found this. Feel free to use it on me.
**[04:59] ---**
You be quiet!
**[05:00] ---**
--Punishment it is.
--Why me?!
**[05:03] ---**
Quit it already!
**[05:05] ---**
--He's here.
--Huh?
**[05:08] ---**
Gray's here. I can smell him.
**[05:11] ---**
He's here?
**[05:13] ---**
Then there's no need for us to hide!
**[05:16] ---**
Hey!
**[05:18] ---**
Whatcha doing inside our hideout?
**[05:21] ---**
Is it something fun? Is it? Is it?
**[05:25] ---**
The enemy?!
**[05:26] ---**
Wait, that doll...!
**[05:28] ---**
It's Mr. Cursy!
**[05:30] ---**
Ack! Now I remember!
**[05:32] ---**
"Curse"
**[05:33] ---**
It belonged to that guy
we fought on Tenrou Island!
**[05:35] ---**
Yeah, you had a lot of fun with it.
**[05:38] ---**
It was the opposite of fun!
**[05:41] ---**
"Curse"
**[05:42] ---**
Oh, you already know Mr. Cursy? How fun!
**[05:46] ---**
A former big shot in
Grimoire Heart gave him to me.
**[05:52] ---**
He uses truly terrifying black magic.
**[05:55] ---**
So many bad memories...
**[05:57] ---**
Be careful.
**[05:59] ---**
This person is far stronger than he looks.
**[06:13] ---**
Sorry, but I only got business with Gray.
**[06:18] ---**
Abel!
**[06:23] ---**
Trouble is brewing!
**[06:25] ---**
Curse you intruders!
How dare you "leaf" Abel like this!
**[06:29] ---**
Unfortunately for you,
you broke into my personal training room!
**[06:35] ---**
Training room?
**[06:37] ---**
Just look at that flabby face.
**[06:39] ---**
Prepare to suffer torture upon torture!
**[06:43] ---**
Oh, is it punishment time?!
**[06:45] ---**
Don't react like that!
**[06:47] ---**
Tea-tea-tea-tea-tea-tea!
**[06:56] ---**
This is no time to be mesmerized, you know.
**[06:59] ---**
You did that on purpose!
**[07:00] ---**
Triangular Dummy Dragon!
**[07:05] ---**
How is this ugly thing a dragon?
**[07:07] ---**
While I actually attack with...
**[07:09] ---**
"Iron Maiden"
**[07:10] ---**
...the Iron Maiden!
**[07:12] ---**
Natsu!
**[07:14] ---**
What is this hurty-looking thing?!
**[07:19] ---**
Steep tight.
**[07:20] ---**
Natsu!
**[07:22] ---**
Oh, no!
**[07:24] ---**
Punishment completed... to a T.
**[07:35] ---**
Th-The iron! It's melting--!
**[07:42] ---**
A bitter end...
**[07:44] ---**
That's two down.
**[07:46] ---**
You're wide open.
**[07:50] ---**
Three down.
**[08:01] ---**
I-Incredible.
**[08:02] ---**
That's Natsu for ya!
**[08:03] ---**
Three of 'em, just like that!
**[08:05] ---**
I-Impossible... We're top-level black wizards...
**[08:10] ---**
How could this brat beat us?
**[08:12] ---**
He's way too much for you guys to handle.
**[08:26] ---**
I'll deal with him.
**[08:28] ---**
Yo!
**[08:30] ---**
How's it going?
**[08:43] ---**
Gray, my darling...
**[08:46] ---**
I'm...
**[08:48] ---**
I'm...
**[08:50] ---**
Juvia. I'm going to dry you off, okay?
**[08:57] ---**
So jiggly...
**[09:00] ---**
...and big...
**[09:01] ---**
These belong to my sweet Gray...
**[09:05] ---**
These fish are his...
**[09:07] ---**
Wh-What is she dreaming about?
**[09:13] ---**
Say, Wendy.
**[09:14] ---**
Yes?
**[09:16] ---**
Do you think they've found Gray yet?
**[09:19] ---**
Yeah. I hope so.
**[09:22] ---**
I hope they aren't quarreling.
**[09:25] ---**
Oh, but Natsu and Gray are always fighting.
**[09:28] ---**
It's normal for them.
**[09:33] ---**
That's true.
**[09:34] ---**
No... fighting...
**[09:38] ---**
Erza will get angry... and flatten you both...
**[09:43] ---**
I-It's scary how realistic that sounds.
**[09:46] ---**
That's also true.
**[10:07] ---**
Come on!
**[10:08] ---**
Stop it, both of you!
**[10:10] ---**
What are you lot doing here?
**[10:14] ---**
Likewise...
**[10:16] ---**
What are you doing here?!
**[10:19] ---**
I can do whatever I want.
**[10:22] ---**
You're wrong!
**[10:23] ---**
Juvia is waiting for you!
**[10:27] ---**
I'm waiting for you, too!
**[10:30] ---**
We're rebuilding Fairy Tail!
**[10:33] ---**
And we need you!
**[10:39] ---**
Don't be stupid.
**[10:42] ---**
Fairy Tail no longer exists!
**[10:49] ---**
In form only.
**[10:52] ---**
All our memories and bonds
with our friends still exist.
**[10:56] ---**
Fairy Tail will always be right here.
**[11:00] ---**
Always has...
**[11:02] ---**
...and always will.
**[11:04] ---**
Then shouldn't that be enough?
**[11:07] ---**
If it's already in your heart, then leave me be.
**[11:11] ---**
I'm following my own path now.
**[11:16] ---**
Gray...
**[11:18] ---**
Fairy Tail is no longer a part of me.
**[11:23] ---**
So quit acting like we're friends anymore.
**[11:41] ---**
"Acting like we're friends"?
**[11:44] ---**
We've always been friends!
**[11:47] ---**
Stop saying such heartbreaking things!
**[11:51] ---**
We don't want to hear you talking like that...
**[11:54] ---**
After all we...
**[12:02] ---**
Lucy!
**[12:03] ---**
My stomach... suddenly...
**[12:07] ---**
Oh, it's you, Mary.
**[12:10] ---**
Who are these people? Old friends of yours?
**[12:15] ---**
Friends from that guild that went belly-up?
**[12:19] ---**
--Princess!
--What did you do to Lucy?!
**[12:23] ---**
Simmer down!
**[12:25] ---**
These are made of Sealstone!
**[12:27] ---**
Natsu!
**[12:33] ---**
Mr. Cursy!
**[12:36] ---**
Thanks for the help, Lady Mary.
**[12:39] ---**
Now, now. Don't fight it. You're too weak.
**[12:44] ---**
Does it hurt? It hurts, doesn't it?
**[12:48] ---**
My black magic, I mean.
**[12:50] ---**
--Gray!
--Simmer down!
**[12:52] ---**
These chains are blocking his magic, yet...
**[12:56] ---**
What brute strength!
**[13:00] ---**
Stop right there.
**[13:04] ---**
I-It hurts...
**[13:06] ---**
Princess!
**[13:07] ---**
Stop it...!
**[13:10] ---**
This is what you get for butting in
where you don't belong, Natsu.
**[13:15] ---**
Wake up, Gray! A demon's
taken control of you!
**[13:20] ---**
I am perfectly sane.
**[13:24] ---**
I removed my family's mark
of my own free will.
**[13:28] ---**
To reach my answer.
**[13:33] ---**
He erased his guild mark...?!
**[13:37] ---**
Gray!
**[13:55] ---**
Gajeel. Someone is approaching.
**[13:57] ---**
I hear 'em.
**[13:58] ---**
It smells like...
**[14:02] ---**
I'm back.
**[14:04] ---**
Levy!
**[14:05] ---**
Well done!
**[14:07] ---**
Nice work infiltrating the cult!
**[14:09] ---**
Being petite certainly is handy!
**[14:11] ---**
Sorry for taking so long, everyone.
**[14:15] ---**
Sneaking in among the cultists
was easy enough...
**[14:21] ---**
But sneaking back out
was definitely the hard part.
**[14:26] ---**
Say, Gajeel. Did you get my news about Gray?
**[14:29] ---**
Yeah.
**[14:31] ---**
I wonder what happened.
**[14:32] ---**
It was as if his heart was
completely consumed by darkness.
**[14:37] ---**
Doesn't matter.
**[14:39] ---**
Our job is to stop the Purification Plan.
**[14:43] ---**
What do you mean, it doesn't matter?
Gray was our friend!
**[14:50] ---**
Not anymore.
**[14:52] ---**
If the Purification Plan happens,
lots of innocent people will die.
**[14:57] ---**
He's part of that plan.
You expect me to see him as a friend?
**[15:02] ---**
Can you really fight an old comrade?
**[15:06] ---**
He's our enemy now, plain and simple.
**[15:10] ---**
We have to stop the Purification Plan.
**[15:24] ---**
Fish... Fish...
**[15:27] ---**
Don't cook that... That's my...
**[15:30] ---**
Huh?
**[15:32] ---**
You're awake.
**[15:33] ---**
Yeah.
**[15:34] ---**
Is your stomach okay, Lucy?
**[15:37] ---**
Yeah. I'm fine now.
**[15:39] ---**
Where's Virgo?
**[15:41] ---**
The Sealstone closed her gate.
**[15:43] ---**
Gray, you jerk... What happened to you?
**[15:47] ---**
I can't believe he erased his guild mark.
**[15:50] ---**
He's definitely been taken over by something.
**[15:54] ---**
Or maybe someone's controlling him.
**[15:58] ---**
Yeah. Gray would never do anything like this.
**[16:10] ---**
Someone's coming.
**[16:22] ---**
He bowed to empty air!
**[16:25] ---**
Scary!
**[16:27] ---**
Where's Gray?!
**[16:29] ---**
Bring him here!
**[16:31] ---**
Sir Gray and the others are no longer here.
**[16:35] ---**
What?
**[16:36] ---**
They've left to begin the Purification Plan.
**[16:40] ---**
I, on the other hand,
am here to find out who sent you...
**[16:45] ---**
...via torture.
**[16:47] ---**
Purification Plan?
**[16:49] ---**
The purification of souls.
**[16:52] ---**
The deaths of countless innocents
will beckon Zeref's arrival.
**[16:58] ---**
L-Leave Gray out of your crazy schemes!
**[17:03] ---**
--You've noticed, have you?
--Huh?
**[17:06] ---**
I-I'm c-c-cosplaying as Lord Zeref!
**[17:11] ---**
If you say so!
**[17:13] ---**
Wow...
**[17:15] ---**
I love Lord Zeref so much
that I even got this in the Far East.
**[17:19] ---**
I can't read these characters myself,
but I'm told they say "Zeref."
**[17:23] ---**
Uhh, they mean "powdered tea."
**[17:28] ---**
I think I did something bad...
**[17:29] ---**
That's enough, you noisy strumpet!
**[17:37] ---**
He can control his torture devices!
**[17:40] ---**
You only now noticed?
**[17:41] ---**
Let her go!
**[17:44] ---**
Quiet, you powerless prisoners.
**[17:49] ---**
Sit back and enjoy...
**[17:51] ---**
...the Gōmon Torture Show.
**[17:54] ---**
Lucy!
**[17:56] ---**
It won't come off!
**[17:58] ---**
They are Sealstone restraints, after all.
**[18:14] ---**
Whip torture...
**[18:16] ---**
Candle torture...
**[18:18] ---**
Water torture. Rope torture.
**[18:20] ---**
Foot-licking torture.
**[18:22] ---**
So, which shall it be?
**[18:25] ---**
Are you some kind of pervert?
**[18:29] ---**
Stop bowing to nobody! It's scary!
**[18:33] ---**
Just go with foot-licking torture.
It can't be too bad.
**[18:37] ---**
No way! I don't like the sound of it!
**[18:40] ---**
It appears you have no understanding
of how that torture works.
**[18:45] ---**
What's that? Salt water?
**[18:48] ---**
Indeed.
**[18:49] ---**
I slather your bare feet in
salt water and release a goat.
**[18:52] ---**
The goat begins licking your feet
to consume that salt.
**[18:56] ---**
Eventually, the goat's scratchy tongue
will peel off the skin
**[18:59] ---**
and tear away your flesh.
**[19:02] ---**
Yet, the goat will continue
to lick your feet... forever.
**[19:06] ---**
Wha...?! For real?!
**[19:09] ---**
Th-That sounds more painful than I thought!
**[19:15] ---**
Shall we try it out?
**[19:16] ---**
No!
**[19:18] ---**
You bastard!
**[19:26] ---**
Now, tell me who sent you...
**[19:29] ---**
...before the girl loses her feet.
**[19:32] ---**
Stop it, damn you!
**[19:36] ---**
I already told you!
**[19:37] ---**
We only came here to take Gray back with us!
**[19:41] ---**
How many times must I tell you?
Sir Gray is one of us!
**[19:54] ---**
He's our friend!
**[19:56] ---**
But if he can't believe in himself,
then we'll believe for him!
**[20:03] ---**
Silence!
**[20:12] ---**
Lucy!
**[20:13] ---**
What are you doing to her?!
**[20:21] ---**
Foot-licking torture is canceled!
**[20:24] ---**
This calls for chop-in-half torture!
**[20:27] ---**
Stop!
**[20:31] ---**
Do you still have faith in Sir Gray now?!
**[20:55] ---**
Gray...
**[21:05] ---**
Urgh. Dammit.
**[21:07] ---**
You guys ruined everything.
**[21:16] ---**
Code Blue here. I've hit a snag.
**[21:21] ---**
No, it's not that. Yeah.
**[21:26] ---**
Hell if I know. Ask him yourself. Yeah.
**[21:30] ---**
The pattern on his body...
**[21:34] ---**
--Put it to your ear.
--What is this thing?
**[21:38] ---**
Is that you... Natsu?
**[21:44] ---**
Good grief.
**[21:46] ---**
So much for Gray's undercover mission.
**[21:50] ---**
Until you fall asleep, until you give that smile
**[22:00] ---**
You are beautiful to me more than anything
**[22:25] ---**
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] ---**
Avatar's secretly-prepared
"Time of Purification" approaches.
**[23:25] ---**
The goal is to offer countless deaths
to the cult's revered Zeref.
**[23:31] ---**
After learning the details,
**[23:33] ---**
Natsu and friends hurry to
the scene to put a stop to the plan.
**[23:37] ---**
The five members of Fairy Tail's mightiest team
**[23:40] ---**
take on the corrupted cult.
**[23:42] ---**
Next Episode: "The Purification Plan."
**[23:43] ---**
"The Purification Plan"
**[23:45] ---**
The fairies' solid bond will strike down evil.
