**[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!
