[00:01] ---
    Code Blue here. I've hit a snag.
[00:05] ---
    No, it's not that. Yeah.
[00:09] ---
    Hell if I know. Ask him yourself. Yeah.
[00:14] ---
    The pattern on his body...
[00:18] ---
    --Put it to your ear.
    --What is this thing?
[00:22] ---
    Is that you... Natsu?
[00:27] ---
    Good grief.
[00:29] ---
    So much for Gray's undercover mission.
[00:33] ---
    No matter how far, far away we are
[00:37] ---
    you just need to keep on believing
[00:40] ---
    So, please, stop crying, look up...
[00:44] ---
    ...and let's move forward together
[01:02] ---
    Why do you look down
[01:04] ---
    and stare at the tears you've shed?
[01:09] ---
    Even if today is a bust
[01:11] ---
    we can always walk forward with faith in tomorrow
[01:16] ---
    Having someone who can reach out to me
[01:20] ---
    and someone I can laugh with
[01:24] ---
    gives me a new strength
[01:28] ---
    that can change the world as we know it
[01:30] ---
    No matter how far, far away we are
[01:35] ---
    you just need to keep on believing
[01:38] ---
    everything is for you for you
[01:40] ---
    The morning sun has driven the night away
[01:45] ---
    I won't be afraid or hesitate anymore
[01:48] ---
    I'm going to turn my dream into reality
[01:52] ---
    So, please, stop crying, look up...
[01:57] ---
    ...and let's move forward together
[02:06] ---
    Undercover mission?
[02:08] ---
    Yeah. There's no way I'd seriously
    join a creepy cult like this.
[02:14] ---
    We gotta hurry.
[02:16] ---
    I'll explain on the way.
[02:22] ---
    "The Purification Plan"
[02:27] ---
    Half a year ago, Jellal and the
    others asked me to investigate
[02:31] ---
    the Avatar black magic cult
    and its connections to Zeref.
[02:41] ---
    But just when my investigation
    hit a dead end, I ran into Gray.
[02:46] ---
    That lacrima is amazing.
[02:48] ---
    It's a portable communication lacrima.
[02:51] ---
    After the weird pattern appeared on my body,
[02:54] ---
    I regularly visited old lady Porlyusica for help.
[02:57] ---
    Now I can control it on my own,
    as you just saw.
[03:01] ---
    So, after discussing our current situations,
    we hatched this plan.
[03:07] ---
    I agreed in part because Erza wanted my help,
[03:11] ---
    but I was personally interested
    in the Book of E.N.D.
[03:15] ---
    My dad wanted me to destroy it, after all.
[03:18] ---
    But you didn't tell Juvia
    any of this? That's messed up!
[03:25] ---
    I made him keep quiet.
[03:30] ---
    The fewer outsiders who know the truth,
[03:33] ---
    the more likely an undercover
    mission will succeed.
[03:37] ---
    Telling others might also
    place them in danger, too.
[03:41] ---
    So it was also for Juvia's sake...
[03:44] ---
    Still...!
[03:47] ---
    I truly feel bad for Juvia.
[03:50] ---
    I had no idea the mission
    would last this long either.
[03:55] ---
    The situation changed.
[03:57] ---
    Originally, it was supposed
    to be an internal investigation.
[03:59] ---
    But then we learned of
    their Purification Plan.
[04:04] ---
    Avatar is planning to wipe out
    an entire city to summon Zeref.
[04:09] ---
    They seriously believe he'll appear
    at a site of concentrated death.
[04:16] ---
    We have to stop that from happening.
[04:19] ---
    You should've wiped 'em out from the start.
[04:22] ---
    It would've been easy for you and Erza.
[04:24] ---
    That wouldn't work.
[04:27] ---
    It turns out Avatar is a much bigger
    organization than we thought.
[04:33] ---
    I was only inside one branch.
[04:36] ---
    And each branch is kept secret
    from other branches and HQ itself.
[04:41] ---
    One false step and we'd be unable
    to stop the Purification Plan.
[04:46] ---
    So we had to wait until today.
[04:49] ---
    Yeah.
[04:50] ---
    We bet everything on today,
    when all the branches gather.
[04:54] ---
    To destroy them and the Purification Plan.
[04:59] ---
    Lucy...
[05:00] ---
    Sorry about earlier.
[05:03] ---
    I said some terrible things
    while they were watching.
[05:07] ---
    No, it's okay. I should
    apologize for slapping you.
[05:11] ---
    Well, being disciplined by a girl
    in a maid outfit wasn't so bad.
[05:14] ---
    I-It wasn't like that...
[05:17] ---
    I still consider you guys my friends, even now.
[05:21] ---
    That's good to hear!
[05:25] ---
    Then that simplifies things!
[05:27] ---
    Let's go wreck this
    Purification Plan thing together!
[05:32] ---
    Yeah!
[05:33] ---
    Count me in, too!
[05:36] ---
    Guys...
[05:39] ---
    We didn't mean to drag you into this...
[05:42] ---
    Doesn't matter if you drag us or we drag you!
[05:45] ---
    We get to fight together again
    after a whole year!
[05:49] ---
    There's only one thing to say at a time like this!
[05:53] ---
    I'm fired up!
[06:13] ---
    Where are Gray and Gōmon, Briar?
[06:16] ---
    Aren't they dealing with the prisoners?
[06:18] ---
    I understand why Gōmon stayed
    behind, but why Gray, too?
[06:22] ---
    Do you suppose...?
[06:23] ---
    Listen, "Bottom Lashes."
    None of that matters anymore.
[06:28] ---
    Bottom Lashes?
[06:29] ---
    Just look at all these followers.
[06:32] ---
    Every member of every branch
    has gathered for the Purification Plan.
[06:37] ---
    Even if No-Clothes or
    the Council do show up now,
[06:41] ---
    they won't stand a chance
    against our monumental faith.
[06:45] ---
    Mm, indeed.
[06:48] ---
    "Bottom Lashes" might be acceptable...
[06:50] ---
    The Purification Plan is finally happening.
[06:56] ---
    We can finally meet Zeref!
[06:59] ---
    We will now enact our Purification Plan
    upon the city of Malba!
[07:10] ---
    This city is completely innocent.
[07:14] ---
    Its 30,000 lives are in motion,
    oblivious to their impending fates.
[07:20] ---
    Their pure souls shall bring Him,
    the black wizard Zeref...
[07:27] ---
    ...to this place!
[07:32] ---
    We now offer these 30,000 souls
    so that we may walk beside Him.
[07:40] ---
    Purify every life in the city!
[07:44] ---
    Charge!
[07:57] ---
    There's someone in front of the city!
[07:59] ---
    Doesn't matter! We'll start with them!
[08:02] ---
    Purify them all!
[08:23] ---
    You're not takin' one step past us!
[08:26] ---
    Bring it on!
[08:31] ---
    I'm guessing you've gotten a little stronger?
[08:34] ---
    Wanna find out later?
[08:37] ---
    Don't forget me!
[08:39] ---
    Open, Gate of the Golden Bull!
[08:43] ---
    Taurus!
[08:47] ---
    I'm all beefed up!
[08:52] ---
    And...
[08:53] ---
    Star Dress...
[09:03] ---
    ...Taurus Form!
[09:05] ---
    It's round-up time!
[09:07] ---
    Gray! Curse you!
[09:10] ---
    What are you doing?
    There are only three of them!
[09:13] ---
    Thrash them!
[09:15] ---
    Sir Jerome! The enemy is
    attacking from the rear, too!
[09:18] ---
    We're taking enormous damage!
[09:20] ---
    What?! The Council's army is already here?!
[09:24] ---
    A-Actually...
[09:28] ---
    It's just one person!
[09:31] ---
    All right! Let's get started!
[09:35] ---
    Let's make it big and flashy!
[09:38] ---
    This feels just like old times!
[09:40] ---
    Aye!
[09:42] ---
    You're the ones about to be purified!
[09:45] ---
    Let's do it!
[09:50] ---
    Yeah!
[10:06] ---
    They're udderly powerful!
[10:09] ---
    Now it's our turn!
[10:14] ---
    Earth Wave!
[10:21] ---
    Moo!
[10:25] ---
    Okay! Now! Charge!
[10:30] ---
    Lucy!
[10:31] ---
    I'm fine!
[10:32] ---
    My Taurus Form...
[10:35] ---
    ...has some serious power!
[11:19] ---
    What the...?!
[11:21] ---
    They're monsters!
    They're animals! They're... things!
[11:25] ---
    Enough with the low-vocabulary quips, Mary.
[11:30] ---
    I guess only we can put an end to them.
[11:33] ---
    I'll deal with the enemy at the rear.
[11:35] ---
    Gray and his friends are all yours.
[11:39] ---
    It's time we show these sewer rats
    the true horrors of black magic.
[11:49] ---
    It's clear that this lone fighter
    is quite experienced.
[11:53] ---
    However, my dark sword is forged
    in forbidden black magic.
[11:58] ---
    With it, I shall cleave and purify them.
[12:04] ---
    Magic! Fight back with magic!
[12:15] ---
    Requip!
[12:20] ---
    Ataraxia Armor!
[12:22] ---
    Fly forth!
[12:26] ---
    --Are those her wings?!
    --No, they're swords!
[12:29] ---
    They're flying around on their own!
[12:44] ---
    Do you still intend to fight?
[12:51] ---
    What a beautiful knight.
[12:59] ---
    It's Jerome!
[13:01] ---
    Dark Sword Jerome is here!
[13:17] ---
    I won't let you interfere with our plan!
[13:27] ---
    My Dark Sword corrodes everything it touches!
[13:34] ---
    My sword...
[13:43] ---
    ...cuts without being noticed!
[13:55] ---
    Do you still intend to fight?
[13:58] ---
    Gray!
[14:00] ---
    Briar!
[14:01] ---
    How dare you betray us!
    Or should I say fool us?!
[14:07] ---
    Was your time with us a complete lie?!
[14:13] ---
    Of course it was, idiot!
[14:16] ---
    Like I'd ever be pals with
    a pack of murderers like you.
[14:20] ---
    It isn't murder! It's purification!
[14:23] ---
    We're going to summon Zeref
    through purification!
[14:28] ---
    So... was all your blather about
    the Book of E.N.D. a lie, too?!
[14:34] ---
    That had some truth to it.
[14:38] ---
    Someday, I will destroy E.N.D.
[14:41] ---
    But not this way.
[14:44] ---
    I'd be a disgrace to my old man.
[14:50] ---
    This is udderly great!
[14:54] ---
    Moo!
[14:57] ---
    M-Miss Lucy...
[15:00] ---
    What's wrong? You almost
    sound like you're in tears...
[15:03] ---
    My stomach, it's suddenly...
[15:06] ---
    I'm not in the moo-d to fight--
[15:09] ---
    Wha...?! Now, of all times?!
[15:14] ---
    Huh? No way...
[15:16] ---
    Not me, too...
[15:22] ---
    My black magic Virus spells can
    eat away at a person's body!
[15:29] ---
    By the way, this one messes
    with people's guts.
[15:32] ---
    Yep. If you don't get to
    a bathroom quick, things'll get messy!
[15:37] ---
    Wh... What nasty magic...
[15:40] ---
    I got it, too...
[15:42] ---
    M-Miss Lucy...
[15:44] ---
    I can't hold on any moo-re...
[15:54] ---
    Are you one of Gray's old friends?
[15:57] ---
    Are you from the oh-so-famous Fairy Tail?
[16:01] ---
    It's hilarious how weak you actually are!
[16:05] ---
    Get real. This is nothing...
[16:08] ---
    I can handle this... just fine!
[16:11] ---
    Just so you know, my Virus magic
    can take your life easy-peasy.
[16:16] ---
    Like, it could mess up your brain, for example.
[16:27] ---
    Moo!
[16:29] ---
    Huh? My stomach doesn't hurt anymore.
[16:33] ---
    Mine, either!
[16:34] ---
    I feel udderly better!
[16:39] ---
    Status ailments nullified...
[16:41] ---
    ...and status immunity
    enchantment activated.
[16:45] ---
    Status ailment spells don't work
    against sky magic!
[16:49] ---
    Wendy!
[16:51] ---
    What is this huge army anyway?
[16:53] ---
    Charle! What are you doing here?
[16:57] ---
    Lucy! Behind you!
[17:01] ---
    I know.
[17:02] ---
    It's stomach payback time!
[17:04] ---
    Lucy Punch!
[17:08] ---
    G... G... G... G...
[17:14] ---
    G... G-Grandfather...
[17:22] ---
    That was amazing, Lucy!
[17:25] ---
    Lucy Punch? Seriously?
[17:27] ---
    Whew! You really saved the day there, Wendy!
[17:31] ---
    But why are you here, anyway?
[17:34] ---
    Well, actually...
[17:41] ---
    You'll pay dearly for this, you mole!
[17:51] ---
    Ah, there's your split-image magic.
[17:59] ---
    Angry Briar!
[18:01] ---
    Smiling Briar.
[18:03] ---
    Sorrowful Briar.
[18:05] ---
    Loving Briar.
[18:07] ---
    I am furious!
[18:10] ---
    I'm amused!
[18:12] ---
    You intend to fight us
    with such measly power?
[18:16] ---
    I'm sad. Because there's
    no choice but to kill you now...
[18:21] ---
    And because I actually...
    fell a little in love with you.
[18:27] ---
    Huh?
[18:30] ---
    Does that make us romantic rivals, then?
[18:36] ---
    What are you doing here?!
[18:39] ---
    Water Claw!
[18:45] ---
    How dare you hurt Loving Briar!
[18:50] ---
    That's mean! So mean!
[18:52] ---
    Tch!
[18:54] ---
    You're starting to annoy me!
[18:56] ---
    Chill out, all of you!
[19:00] ---
    --This can't be!
    --The mighty Briar, taken out just like that?!
[19:07] ---
    Gray, my love!
[19:11] ---
    I missed you so much!
[19:14] ---
    I had a feeling you were in trouble,
    so I rushed straight here!
[19:19] ---
    I wouldn't actually call this trouble, but...
[19:23] ---
    How did you even find me?
[19:25] ---
    Wendy has a strong sense of smell!
[19:33] ---
    I'm sorry.
[19:35] ---
    I'll explain everything later. But for now...
[19:38] ---
    I know.
[19:40] ---
    --We gotta take these guys down!
    --Right, my darling!
[19:45] ---
    Oh! It looks like Juvia's all better now!
[19:48] ---
    --All thanks to Wendy.
    --That's not true...
[19:51] ---
    I'm so glad!
[19:54] ---
    There are still lots moo-re
    enemies to deal with!
[19:58] ---
    Stay sharp!
[19:59] ---
    --Got it!
    --Right!
[20:06] ---
    Sky Dragon Wave Wind!
[20:12] ---
    Dragon Force?!
[20:14] ---
    We did some re-training of our own, too!
[20:17] ---
    So cool!
[20:45] ---
    Your Eminence.
[20:46] ---
    The rear has been wiped out,
    and the front can't enter the city!
[20:51] ---
    They're just too strong!
    We're fighting a losing battle!
[21:01] ---
    They've reached us!
[21:13] ---
    H-How is this happening?!
    We have 2,000 on our side!
[21:18] ---
    But there's only seven or eight of them!
[21:21] ---
    Doesn't matter how many you have.
    You can't beat us.
[21:27] ---
    Because we're Fairy Tail wizards.
[21:33] ---
    This is all within expectations.
[21:37] ---
    When Ikusatsunagi shakes the earth,
    the purification will begin.
[21:43] ---
    In that case...
[21:45] ---
    ...we'll go beyond your "expectations"!
[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
[22:34] ---
    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
[23:20] ---
    The Avatar priest Arlock
    summons Ikusatsunagi,
[23:24] ---
    a god of calamity and war
    beyond human understanding,
[23:27] ---
    to bring the true
    Purification Plan to fruition.
[23:30] ---
    The people flee wildly before
    the war god's overwhelming power.
[23:34] ---
    Natsu, enraged by Arlock's
    contempt for life,
[23:37] ---
    thinks of his friends and unleashes
    an all-out attack of his own!
[23:42] ---
    Next Episode: "Ikusatsunagi."
[23:43] ---
    "Ikusatsunagi"
[23:44] ---
    The strength of their bond
    will be the light of evil's bane!
