[00:02] ---
    It's been five days since Fairy Tail's rebirth.
[00:07] ---
    I'm so lucky I got to
    move back into my old place!
[00:10] ---
    The landlady seems to be doing well, too.
[00:13] ---
    The others are back in
    the girls' dorm or their homes in town.
[00:16] ---
    Some found new places to stay, though.
[00:21] ---
    Everyone has settled in nicely!
[00:25] ---
    The battle with Tartaros
    nearly destroyed the city a year ago.
[00:30] ---
    Even so, the citizens have
    warmly accepted us back.
[00:34] ---
    I think it's because of
    the strong bond of mutual trust
[00:37] ---
    that has existed between
    the town and the guild for generations.
[00:40] ---
    Phew! That felt great!
[00:43] ---
    --Yo.
    --My home!
[00:47] ---
    --You gotta try this!
    --There's fish, too!
[00:48] ---
    --Will you ever stop barging in like this?!
    --There's fish, too!
[00:50] ---
    Nice try.
[00:52] ---
    Wait--
[00:53] ---
    You need way more training, Lucy.
[00:56] ---
    Put me down!
[00:58] ---
    --We got a job.
    --A job!
[01:00] ---
    A job?
[01:01] ---
    What-- Hey!
[01:02] ---
    Oh.
[01:03] ---
    Ahh!
[01:06] ---
    No matter how far, far away we are
[01:10] ---
    you just need to keep on believing
[01:13] ---
    So, please, stop crying, look up...
[01:17] ---
    ...and let's move forward together
[01:35] ---
    Why do you look down
[01:37] ---
    and stare at the tears you've shed?
[01:42] ---
    Even if today is a bust
[01:44] ---
    we can always walk forward with faith in tomorrow
[01:49] ---
    Having someone who can reach out to me
[01:53] ---
    and someone I can laugh with
[01:56] ---
    gives me a new strength
[02:01] ---
    that can change the world as we know it
[02:03] ---
    No matter how far, far away we are
[02:08] ---
    you just need to keep on believing
[02:11] ---
    everything is for you for you
[02:13] ---
    The morning sun has driven the night away
[02:18] ---
    I won't be afraid or hesitate anymore
[02:21] ---
    I'm going to turn my dream into reality
[02:25] ---
    So, please, stop crying, look up...
[02:30] ---
    ...and let's move forward together
[02:37] ---
    This is the job?
[02:39] ---
    Don't complain.
[02:42] ---
    We need to hurry and rebuild our building.
[02:44] ---
    If we divide the work among us,
    it'll be complete sooner.
[02:49] ---
    We want Master to praise our
    new guildhall when he returns.
[02:53] ---
    Do you really think he'll come back?
[02:57] ---
    Yeah, one of these days.
[02:59] ---
    And if he doesn't, we'll just go look for him.
[03:01] ---
    --Or put a bounty out.
    --Like a criminal?! And talk about cheap!
[03:07] ---
    Juvia. Could you hand me those nails?
[03:09] ---
    Certainly, darling!
[03:12] ---
    Don't get 'em wet.
[03:14] ---
    Hey, is it true those
    two shacked up all that time?
[03:17] ---
    Nah, I heard they got married.
[03:20] ---
    --I heard they even had a kid.
    --And apparently Lucy is his mistress!
[03:26] ---
    Mistress?!
[03:27] ---
    I heard he's seeing Erza, too...
[03:29] ---
    Could this story get any crazier?!
[03:31] ---
    Besides, it was more like she
    haunted me than lived with me...
[03:35] ---
    O-Oh...
[03:41] ---
    "The 7th Guild Master"
[03:45] ---
    Here! Have a refreshment!
[03:47] ---
    Thanks, Lisanna!
[03:48] ---
    Refreshments!
[03:49] ---
    --Yay!
    --Thanks, Lisanna!
[03:51] ---
    --Here you are!
    --Oh, thirst-quenching liquid!
[03:54] ---
    You seem like a pro at that.
[03:56] ---
    Yeah! I spent the last year
    helping out Mira at a restaurant!
[04:01] ---
    Whoa... Did Elfman work there, too?!
[04:04] ---
    I'm manly!
[04:06] ---
    He said he had "manly training"
    to do and went off somewhere.
[04:10] ---
    Oh-ho! We'll have to spar later, then!
[04:14] ---
    Right now is fine by me.
[04:17] ---
    Big Brother Elf...
[04:20] ---
    What are you doing, Levy?
[04:23] ---
    Oh, just some paperwork.
[04:26] ---
    Restarting the guild is a lot more
    complicated than you'd think.
[04:32] ---
    Without Council approval,
    we'd basically be like a dark guild.
[04:36] ---
    We laid the groundwork over
    the past year for this very purpose.
[04:42] ---
    That's quite thoughtful.
[04:43] ---
    Now we'll be able to say that
    Fairy Tail is officially back.
[04:48] ---
    Thank you so much, Levy!
[04:51] ---
    Why the tears?!
[04:53] ---
    I just need to fill out this last part, but...
[04:56] ---
    Yeah, that's a tough one.
[04:58] ---
    How so?
[05:00] ---
    We need to decide who our
    seventh guild master will be.
[05:07] ---
    Our seventh guild master...
[05:12] ---
    I mean, I guess I could do it...
[05:15] ---
    Knock that off, Dad!
[05:16] ---
    Why not Gildarts?
[05:19] ---
    Get real! We can never even find
    that wandering lunkhead!
[05:23] ---
    It's just temporary until our
    sixth master returns, right?
[05:27] ---
    --So anyone will do.
    --I agree.
[05:30] ---
    Still, our guild is different from before.
[05:43] ---
    We need someone who can
    keep them under control
[05:45] ---
    while the sixth master is away.
[05:51] ---
    Oh, my.
[05:54] ---
    You've upped your game.
[05:56] ---
    --Good luck, both of you!
    --They've both gotten stronger.
[06:00] ---
    So you better not get too flabby, Al!
[06:03] ---
    Huh?
[06:04] ---
    Daddy, you're flabby!
[06:06] ---
    R-Really...?
[06:09] ---
    In that case...
[06:15] ---
    My darling!
[06:19] ---
    That's manly.
[06:20] ---
    That hurts, dammit!
[06:25] ---
    Sheesh...
[06:26] ---
    Want some fish, Lucy?
[06:28] ---
    No.
[06:30] ---
    --Oh! A brawl!
    --Let's join in!
[06:33] ---
    All right! Count me in!
[06:35] ---
    I'm lusting for a rumble!
[06:37] ---
    Why am I not surprised?
[06:39] ---
    It feels like old times again.
[06:43] ---
    Loke! I didn't summon you!
[06:46] ---
    You're all under arrest!
[06:50] ---
    Yeah! That's it! Get 'im!
[06:55] ---
    That hurts...
[06:57] ---
    You jerks...
[07:00] ---
    I'm glad for you, Elfman...
[07:03] ---
    No one ever blamed you
    for the guildhall's destruction,
[07:08] ---
    but it always weighed heavily on you.
[07:10] ---
    That's why you focused on getting stronger--
[07:15] ---
    Mira!
[07:17] ---
    Come on, you guys!
[07:24] ---
    Back to work.
[07:31] ---
    Yes, ma'am...
[07:36] ---
    That answers that.
[07:40] ---
    Our seventh guild master is Erza Scarlet!
[07:47] ---
    W-Wait a minute!
[07:49] ---
    Me, as guild master?! That's hardly--
[07:52] ---
    You're the only one up to the task.
[07:56] ---
    You...!
[07:58] ---
    --You're, umm...
    --Who, again?
[08:02] ---
    Actually, yeah, he's one of us, but...
[08:06] ---
    I can't remember his name...
[08:11] ---
    I've been waiting for this moment.
[08:13] ---
    For all of you to gather again.
[08:17] ---
    Only you guys can help Makarov,
    our sixth guild master.
[08:33] ---
    I had no idea such a place
    existed beneath the guildhall...
[08:36] ---
    Even the entrance is normally sealed away.
[08:39] ---
    By the way, Doran-- Err, Mest.
[08:43] ---
    That one's my real name.
    Is your memory still muddled?
[08:47] ---
    I'm sorry about that.
[08:50] ---
    Why am only I allowed here?
    Natsu wouldn't stop complaining.
[08:55] ---
    Because you're the seventh guild master.
[08:59] ---
    That's the kind of place we're headed to.
[09:04] ---
    It would normally be off-limits to me, too.
[09:13] ---
    What is this?!
[09:16] ---
    Fairy Tail's ultimate secret:
    the Lumen Histoire.
[09:21] ---
    Our first master?!
[09:23] ---
    --Whoa, hey!
    --Stop pushing, idiot!
[09:26] ---
    Watch where you put your hands!
[09:29] ---
    Yo...
[09:31] ---
    You guys...
[09:32] ---
    Oh, good grief.
[09:34] ---
    I was about to explain that only
    the guild's masters are allowed in.
[09:40] ---
    That's not fair! Tell us, too!
[09:43] ---
    What is this, anyway?
[09:44] ---
    It's our first master, isn't it?
[09:47] ---
    --She's butt naked!
    --Yes, so please stop staring.
[09:50] ---
    Is this the first master's body? Is she alive?
[09:55] ---
    Why is she inside a crystal
    beneath the guildhall?
[09:59] ---
    Explain, Mest.
[10:02] ---
    I don't know what to make of it, either.
[10:05] ---
    All I do know is that it's
    something extraordinarily important.
[10:10] ---
    Never mind her! Where's Gramps?!
[10:12] ---
    I know you know!
[10:13] ---
    "Never mind her"?
[10:19] ---
    What is this? In my mind, I'm seeing--
[10:23] ---
    Images?
[10:25] ---
    They're my memories.
[10:28] ---
    Ten years ago...
[10:31] ---
    You want me to infiltrate the Council?!
[10:33] ---
    You're the only one who can.
[10:36] ---
    What do you want me to steal?
[10:38] ---
    This isn't that kind of mission.
[10:41] ---
    I need you to leak me everything
    they know about the western continent.
[10:46] ---
    I'm pretty sure that's still stealing.
[10:49] ---
    I don't need any documents
    or cover-ups for our kiddos' incidents.
[10:52] ---
    Just everything the Council
    says about the western continent.
[10:59] ---
    What for?
[11:00] ---
    Please, don't ask.
[11:03] ---
    This is for the safety of our guild! Our family!
[11:08] ---
    If I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do it right!
[11:10] ---
    Yeah! I'll even erase my own memory!
[11:13] ---
    No, don't do that!
[11:17] ---
    There's not much info, mostly
    because diplomatic relationships
[11:21] ---
    with the western continent are non-existent.
[11:23] ---
    I see.
[11:25] ---
    Besides that, the Council members
    really don't like our guild.
[11:30] ---
    Mm. Hardly a surprise.
[11:32] ---
    You really need to rein Natsu in a little.
[11:35] ---
    Natsu is fine the way he is.
[11:37] ---
    Ugh...
[11:38] ---
    The same is true for you.
[11:40] ---
    I can't believe you really erased
    your memory to go undercover.
[11:44] ---
    I'm fine. My memory gets restored
    whenever you lift this spell.
[11:49] ---
    You're certainly a clever one, Mest.
[11:52] ---
    Hold on. I go by "Doranbolt"
    while I'm undercover.
[12:00] ---
    Doranbolt.
[12:02] ---
    You have a visitor.
[12:04] ---
    A visitor?
[12:05] ---
    Huh? What does Fairy Tail's
    master want with me?
[12:10] ---
    Is it my imagination,
    or did you visit me last month, too?
[12:14] ---
    What a pain this is...
[12:17] ---
    You have a visitor, Doranbolt.
[12:20] ---
    Fairy Tail's master wants to see me?
[12:22] ---
    He visits a lot lately.
[12:25] ---
    --I just had a good idea.
    --What is it?
[12:28] ---
    I can use my magic to infiltrate
    that notorious guild.
[12:33] ---
    Oh...
[12:34] ---
    I bet we'd get some great info that way!
[12:37] ---
    Hopefully, anyway...
[12:39] ---
    First, I'll plant a memory into
    Makarov that I'm a guild member.
[12:45] ---
    My name'll be Mest.
[12:46] ---
    Mest, huh?
[12:48] ---
    Oh, man!
[12:50] ---
    I can't wait to discover
    Fairy Tail's evil deeds!
[12:53] ---
    That hurts.
[12:56] ---
    And... that's how you joined
    the Tenrou Island S-Class Trial?
[13:02] ---
    Hey, now.
[13:03] ---
    I'm very sorry.
[13:06] ---
    --Then what happened?
    --Seven years later...
[13:12] ---
    It's been quite a while.
[13:14] ---
    I'm so happy to see you and
    the other members are doing well!
[13:20] ---
    I'm sorry for putting you
    through all this for so long.
[13:24] ---
    Don't be. I chose to do this.
[13:27] ---
    Your mission is over now.
    Come back to Fairy Tail.
[13:33] ---
    I can't.
[13:34] ---
    I'm close to obtaining
    the information you want.
[13:43] ---
    And then, one year ago,
    after the final battle with Tartaros...
[13:50] ---
    I'm disbanding Fairy Tail.
[13:54] ---
    Huh?
[13:55] ---
    Based on your information and
    my own investigation, I'm now certain.
[14:01] ---
    This is the only way to
    protect our guild... Our family.
[14:05] ---
    You're disbanding the guild
    because of the western continent?!
[14:08] ---
    That makes no sense!
[14:10] ---
    You don't need to agree with it.
[14:13] ---
    The Alvarez Empire on the western
    continent is just too dangerous.
[14:20] ---
    What do they matter?!
[14:22] ---
    Sure, they tried to invade
    our continent of Ishgar ten years ago,
[14:26] ---
    but they failed!
[14:27] ---
    Do you know why they tried to invade?
[14:31] ---
    No.
[14:32] ---
    The Lumen Histoire.
[14:34] ---
    Alvarez tried to invade ten years ago
    to obtain the Lumen Histoire.
[14:43] ---
    The invasion didn't fail.
[14:45] ---
    It was called off after
    the Council flexed its muscle.
[14:50] ---
    The Etherion!
[14:52] ---
    On top of that, the Faces
    that were just brought to light
[14:55] ---
    were another set of weapons
    in the Council's arsenal.
[14:57] ---
    Not even Alvarez could afford
    the risk involved.
[15:01] ---
    However, that Council is gone now,
[15:04] ---
    and the Etherion and the Faces are no more.
[15:07] ---
    Do you know what that means?
[15:09] ---
    Ishgar has lost its ability to deter Alvarez?
[15:13] ---
    Mm.
[15:15] ---
    They will try to invade again.
[15:19] ---
    So what does that have to do
    with disbanding the guild?!
[15:22] ---
    When someone hits, we hit back!
    That's the Fairy Tail way!
[15:26] ---
    We can't do that.
    The only option is to disband.
[15:30] ---
    Wha--?
[15:31] ---
    This continent is home to
    500 guilds or so, including Fairy Tail.
[15:38] ---
    The western continent, however,
    used to have 730 wizard guilds
[15:42] ---
    if you include both official and dark guilds.
[15:46] ---
    And it was the Alvarez Magic
    Empire that unified all 730 guilds
[15:50] ---
    under one banner to become
    the military superpower it is today.
[15:58] ---
    Seven hundred and thirty guilds against
    just one? We'd be child's play for them.
[16:04] ---
    They're on a completely different
    level than any previous foe.
[16:07] ---
    What?! Then what can we do?!
[16:10] ---
    I'm going to the Alvarez Empire to negotiate.
[16:15] ---
    If they are going to invade,
    then I'll try to buy us extra time
[16:21] ---
    by threatening to activate the Lumen Histoire.
[16:24] ---
    You can't be serious!
[16:26] ---
    It's a gamble, but if you can restore
    the Council during that time...
[16:31] ---
    W-Wait! Hold on!
[16:34] ---
    If something were to happen
    to me while our guild still existed,
[16:38] ---
    the kiddos would get targeted next.
[16:41] ---
    I can't let that happen!
[16:45] ---
    So I'm setting our guild's
    history and standing aside
[16:49] ---
    and disbanding it to protect our family.
[16:54] ---
    Master... This is reckless.
[16:58] ---
    Trying to hold back
    an entire nation all by yourself...
[17:02] ---
    You're basically asking to die!
[17:05] ---
    Bearing the lives of your family
    on your shoulders...
[17:09] ---
    That's what a parent does.
[17:15] ---
    So...
[17:17] ---
    Gramps went to this Whatever
    Empire and never came back?!
[17:22] ---
    And he disbanded the guild
    entirely for our sakes...
[17:27] ---
    You haven't heard from him in a year?
[17:30] ---
    No.
[17:31] ---
    Why didn't you try to stop him?
[17:33] ---
    Do you honestly think he'd stop
    and say, "Okay, you're right"?
[17:38] ---
    I hope he's all right...
[17:40] ---
    I am worried.
[17:42] ---
    He's either still negotiating,
    is locked up somewhere...
[17:47] ---
    Or...
[17:50] ---
    Don't even say it.
[17:52] ---
    What happened next?
[17:54] ---
    I focused on restoring the
    Council as per Makarov's plan.
[18:00] ---
    With Sir Warrod's help,
    I formed a new Council
[18:04] ---
    based around the Wizard Saints.
[18:07] ---
    Say, we did hear that
    the master's whereabouts
[18:10] ---
    posed a problem for the Council.
[18:14] ---
    Sir Warrod is aware of the situation,
[18:17] ---
    but the others are probably still in the dark.
[18:20] ---
    Even so, they all agree that
    the Alvarez Empire poses a threat.
[18:25] ---
    They quickly established a line of defense,
[18:28] ---
    which continues to act as
    a deterrent against the western continent.
[18:31] ---
    That means Gramps
    succeeded in buying us time.
[18:34] ---
    So why hasn't he come back yet?!
[18:37] ---
    It's possible he isn't aware
    of this new information...
[18:44] ---
    ...or that he's unable to come back.
[18:48] ---
    So we're gonna go save him. Right?
[18:52] ---
    Yes. I restored the Council
    just like he asked me.
[18:57] ---
    But now I'm going to do my duty
    as a Fairy Tail wizard.
[19:01] ---
    With all of us together again,
    no one can stand in our way!
[19:06] ---
    Let's all go together!
[19:08] ---
    Wait.
[19:11] ---
    Our own master has deemed
    this enemy unbeatable.
[19:14] ---
    We'll need a plan first.
[19:18] ---
    Erza!
[19:20] ---
    We've gotten stronger over the past year!
[19:22] ---
    No one anywhere can beat us!
[19:24] ---
    Our master has risked his life to buy us time.
[19:27] ---
    Do you intend to let
    that sacrifice go to waste?
[19:33] ---
    Rebuilding the guildhall,
    reopening for business,
[19:37] ---
    and restoring Fairy Tail...
[19:39] ---
    Now that we're reunited,
    I'd like us to smile again as we once did.
[19:45] ---
    That is how I feel as the new guild master.
[19:52] ---
    Erza...
[19:54] ---
    Whoa, you can't be serious!
[19:56] ---
    However...
[19:57] ---
    As a fellow guild member, I feel differently.
[20:02] ---
    We absolutely must rescue our master!
[20:06] ---
    So only the members
    in this room will participate.
[20:11] ---
    A small team is best.
[20:13] ---
    We'll infiltrate Alvarez...
[20:15] ---
    ...rescue our master...
[20:17] ---
    ...and then escape.
[20:19] ---
    This is not a battle.
[20:22] ---
    It's an infiltration and rescue operation.
[20:25] ---
    We won't start any unnecessary
    fights or cause any trouble.
[20:30] ---
    Is that clear, Natsu?
[20:31] ---
    Y-Yeah.
[20:34] ---
    We will rescue Gramps!
[20:40] ---
    Beat us to the punch...
[20:42] ---
    What is it, Gajeel?
[20:44] ---
    They're going in with
    a small invasion team, huh?
[20:48] ---
    In that case, we'll do things
    from a different angle.
[20:51] ---
    Cana. Have you seen Gray?
[20:55] ---
    I drank him!
[20:58] ---
    You did what?!
[21:00] ---
    My darling! My darling!
[21:03] ---
    If you're looking for Gray,
    I saw him following Erza and Mest.
[21:08] ---
    He was with Natsu and Lucy.
[21:10] ---
    What?!
[21:11] ---
    He... went with Lucy again?
[21:14] ---
    Oh, where did the others go?
[21:16] ---
    Who cares? Now we can be all alone!
[21:20] ---
    Lucy...
[21:22] ---
    Gray...
[21:27] ---
    Gajeel...
[21:28] ---
    Oh? You wanna drink, too?
[21:31] ---
    I'm putting the B Team back together.
[21:33] ---
    The B Team?
[21:35] ---
    Our team during the Grand Magic Games?
[21:37] ---
    We're gonna look for our old thunder pal.
[21:41] ---
    Thunder?!
[21:43] ---
    What brought this on?
[21:45] ---
    Do you know where Laxus is?
[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] ---
    Natsu and friends devise
    a secret plan to rescue Makarov,
[23:26] ---
    who is stuck inside the Alvarez Empire.
[23:29] ---
    They head for the western
    continent where the empire lies,
[23:33] ---
    but stop at Caracol Island on the way.
[23:37] ---
    There, they face an explosive situation
    before their journey even begins!
[23:41] ---
    Next Episode: "Law of Space."
[23:42] ---
    "Law of Space"
[23:44] ---
    He who controls space will win the day.
