**[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.
