[00:01] ---
    You hideous... demon!
[00:06] ---
    Close. The name "Spriggan"
    actually means "hideous fairy."
[00:14] ---
    --Gramps!
    --Master!
[00:15] ---
    Gramps!
[00:17] ---
    K-Kiddos...
[00:20] ---
    Zeref...! Zeref was there!
[00:25] ---
    Zeref!
[00:29] ---
    So, you're here...
[00:32] ---
    ...Natsu.
[00:35] ---
    No matter how far, far away we are
[00:39] ---
    you just need to keep on believing
[00:42] ---
    So, please, stop crying, look up...
[00:46] ---
    ...and let's move forward together
[01:04] ---
    Why do you look down
[01:06] ---
    and stare at the tears you've shed?
[01:11] ---
    Even if today is a bust
[01:13] ---
    we can always walk forward with faith in tomorrow
[01:18] ---
    Having someone who can reach out to me
[01:22] ---
    and someone I can laugh with
[01:26] ---
    gives me a new strength
[01:30] ---
    that can change the world as we know it
[01:32] ---
    No matter how far, far away we are
[01:37] ---
    you just need to keep on believing
[01:40] ---
    everything is for you for you
[01:42] ---
    The morning sun has driven the night away
[01:47] ---
    I won't be afraid or hesitate anymore
[01:50] ---
    I'm going to turn my dream into reality
[01:54] ---
    So, please, stop crying, look up...
[01:59] ---
    ...and let's move forward together
[02:06] ---
    Zeref is here, on this continent?!
[02:09] ---
    I had no idea either...
[02:12] ---
    The man known as Emperor Spriggan
    is actually Zeref, in the flesh.
[02:18] ---
    --Spriggan...
    --...is Zeref?!
[02:25] ---
    If you guys are here...
[02:28] ---
    ...I take it Mest has
    filled you in on the situation?
[02:33] ---
    Yes.
[02:34] ---
    I'm just so glad you're all right.
[02:37] ---
    I was too naïve.
[02:41] ---
    They never had any intention
    of negotiating from the start.
[02:47] ---
    I even tarnished our guild's history
    before journeying west...
[02:53] ---
    But it was all for nothing!
    I've never felt such regret!
[03:00] ---
    It wasn't for nothing.
    This past year helped us all grow.
[03:06] ---
    And that's how we were
    able to get back together.
[03:17] ---
    I believe anything you do for
    another's sake is always meaningful.
[03:23] ---
    Because that's what you taught us.
[03:35] ---
    Let's go home, Gramps...
[03:39] ---
    To Fairy Tail!
[03:48] ---
    Yes.
[03:55] ---
    "To the God-Forsaken Land"
[04:01] ---
    So...
[04:02] ---
    We have lots of catching up to do,
    but let's get out of here first.
[04:06] ---
    Yeah.
[04:07] ---
    Who is this person?
[04:10] ---
    I used too many Direct Lines in a row.
[04:13] ---
    I only have enough power
    to teleport us one more time.
[04:18] ---
    I'd like to use that last
    teleport to reach Sorano's ship.
[04:23] ---
    So we need to head back until
    we're within range of her ship.
[04:27] ---
    Aww, leaving so soon, Makarov?
    We just became friends, too...
[04:32] ---
    Did you get your farewell gift?
[04:34] ---
    'Cause you're about to end up in the ground.
[04:39] ---
    Ajeel!
[04:41] ---
    Impossible! How did he find us?!
[04:44] ---
    Sand!
[04:46] ---
    Sand is nice. It tells me everything.
[04:51] ---
    This guy's got as much power
    as that girl on Caracol Island...
[05:02] ---
    Nice...
[05:04] ---
    Stop!
[05:06] ---
    Don't fight him! He's too powerful! Run!
[05:14] ---
    But...!
[05:15] ---
    You heard our master! Retreat!
[05:17] ---
    --Damn!
    --Everyone, retreat!
[05:20] ---
    We have a magic-mobile ready and waiting!
[05:29] ---
    Now! Get in!
[05:31] ---
    A car...!
[05:32] ---
    I'll drive!
[05:34] ---
    SE plug, connected!
[05:36] ---
    Here we go!
[05:42] ---
    So those are Makarov's soldiers...
[05:45] ---
    Huh.
[05:46] ---
    Nice...
[05:54] ---
    --Hit it, Erza!
    --I know!
[06:02] ---
    --He's coming!
    --Huh?
[06:04] ---
    What is that?!
[06:11] ---
    Sand?! It's a sand monster!
[06:15] ---
    Drat!
[06:18] ---
    No good! It's gaining on us!
[06:19] ---
    Lucy! Let's attack back!
[06:21] ---
    Yeah!
[06:25] ---
    Oops! Sorry!
[06:31] ---
    Stop! He's too powerful for us!
[06:35] ---
    We won't know for sure unless we try.
[06:45] ---
    Star Dress...
[06:47] ---
    ...Sagittarius Form!
[06:50] ---
    What is this magic power coming from Gray?!
[06:53] ---
    And... Lucy, too?!
[06:55] ---
    They're nothing like they were a year ago!
[06:59] ---
    Ice Make...
[07:01] ---
    Oh? Gonna fight, are ya?
[07:04] ---
    ...Silver.
[07:09] ---
    The entire area instantly froze!
[07:11] ---
    Incredible!
[07:13] ---
    Nice one!
[07:23] ---
    The sand turned into creatures!
[07:25] ---
    We're on it!
[07:27] ---
    Star Shot!
[07:33] ---
    Nice! Nice!
[07:36] ---
    He vanished!
[07:37] ---
    Below! He merged with the sand!
[07:41] ---
    Antlion Pit!
[07:43] ---
    Oh, no!
[07:45] ---
    Damn!
[07:50] ---
    Nice! You guys look so clumsy and pathetic!
[07:54] ---
    Hurry! Out of the car!
[07:57] ---
    Curses! The magic-mobile...!
[08:00] ---
    Happy! Hang on!
[08:02] ---
    There's sand in my mouth!
[08:05] ---
    The sand...!
[08:06] ---
    It's grabbing onto us!
[08:08] ---
    I can't move!
[08:16] ---
    How many people has it killed?
[08:19] ---
    How many cities has it swallowed?
[08:25] ---
    This Antlion Trap is the doorway to doom.
[08:28] ---
    No one has ever escaped it.
[08:32] ---
    Here's one last tidbit before you die!
[08:36] ---
    We've exterminated so many wizards
    like you that I've lost count!
[08:41] ---
    We're on a totally different
    level than you maggots!
[08:44] ---
    Ishgar has been forsaken by the gods!
[08:48] ---
    But it'll fall under
    Alvarez's control soon enough!
[08:51] ---
    Sucks to be you guys!
[08:55] ---
    Nice! That look on your faces is nice!
[09:02] ---
    Forsaken by the gods, huh?
[09:04] ---
    Not a problem!
[09:06] ---
    'Cause Fairy Tail is still around!
[09:12] ---
    He evaporated the sand--?!
[09:24] ---
    It's been years since I took
    a nice punch like that!
[09:28] ---
    Nice! Bring on more!
[09:33] ---
    Freeze!
[09:36] ---
    Dry.
[09:38] ---
    What?!
[09:41] ---
    The sand is wrapping around us!
[09:45] ---
    Oh, no! This sand...!
[09:48] ---
    Curse you!
[09:51] ---
    Whoops!
[09:56] ---
    I won't let you take my kiddos from me!
[10:01] ---
    Stop, Gramps! We can fight!
[10:04] ---
    Natsu... Please don't yell...
[10:07] ---
    Oh? You think you can
    protect 'em all like that?
[10:11] ---
    You don't understand
    the power of the Spriggan 12 at all!
[10:18] ---
    My sands of death will swallow you whole.
[10:25] ---
    Mest! Teleport us!
[10:27] ---
    Where to?!
[10:32] ---
    Gramps!
[10:34] ---
    I will keep you safe, if it's the last thing I do!
[10:38] ---
    I swear it!
[10:39] ---
    This is the end!
[10:41] ---
    This sandstorm strips the moisture
    out of everything it touches!
[10:47] ---
    --Gramps!
    --Master!
[10:49] ---
    Gramps!
[10:50] ---
    Please! Run!
[10:52] ---
    One fairy mummy, coming up.
[11:11] ---
    Laxus!
[11:23] ---
    Laxus!
[11:25] ---
    He disintegrated that sandstorm
    with one attack?!
[11:28] ---
    The guy's as flashy as ever.
[11:31] ---
    Awesome!
[11:35] ---
    You're gotten much older, old man...
[11:39] ---
    We're in enemy territory! We gotta pull back!
[11:41] ---
    Hop on! Although it's technically his ship!
[11:45] ---
    Gajeel?
[11:46] ---
    I smell Levy and Lily, too.
[11:49] ---
    Wait, but that's a ship!
    How are you and Laxus not sick?!
[11:53] ---
    Gray, my love! I'm here, too!
[11:56] ---
    L-Let me say something, too!
[11:59] ---
    Stop, Big Brother Elf.
[12:01] ---
    This ship's been customized
    so Dragon Slayers can ride on it!
[12:07] ---
    Oh? Have you gotten a little bigger, Wendy?
[12:10] ---
    She's gone from a girl to a lady.
[12:12] ---
    Everyone's grown this past year.
[12:15] ---
    Umm... I haven't changed much, actually.
[12:19] ---
    Mest! I assume you're down there!
    Teleport onto the ship!
[12:23] ---
    Got it!
[12:24] ---
    You're not running away!
[12:27] ---
    Running?
[12:29] ---
    We're just going home.
    We don't wanna miss supper.
[12:45] ---
    Whoa...
[12:48] ---
    Are those guys for real?
[12:54] ---
    Was that barrier your doing?
[12:58] ---
    It is painful to lose a comrade, Ajeel.
[13:03] ---
    You're suggesting that attack
    would've killed me?
[13:07] ---
    You must be getting senile, August.
[13:18] ---
    It begins, Natsu.
[13:28] ---
    You guys made it out okay!
[13:30] ---
    Nice work!
[13:31] ---
    Master rescue mission, complete!
[13:34] ---
    What are you guys doing here?
[13:37] ---
    We hatched our own plan
    to rescue Master, too.
[13:41] ---
    And Laxus was one part of it.
[13:43] ---
    How dare you run off without us!
[13:45] ---
    It was a covert operation.
[13:47] ---
    This ship is awesome!
    I don't feel sick one bit!
[13:50] ---
    Anyway, let's fight, Laxus!
[13:53] ---
    You're annoying.
[13:56] ---
    Everyone...
[14:11] ---
    Fairy Tail is the finest family
    I could ever ask for!
[14:18] ---
    Here's to Fairy Tail's official return!
[14:22] ---
    Cheers!
[14:23] ---
    Welcome back, Master!
[14:25] ---
    Wait. If Erza is our master, then he's, uhh...
[14:30] ---
    Mr. Makarov, I guess?
[14:32] ---
    That doesn't sound right somehow.
[14:35] ---
    Call him "Master." I'm stepping down.
[14:38] ---
    Little Asca! I'm back!
[14:42] ---
    Does this make him our eighth master?
[14:44] ---
    So this is his third time?
    How many times has he revived?!
[14:49] ---
    Uhh, he never died in the first place...
[14:51] ---
    At this point, I'm staying
    as guild master till I die.
[14:54] ---
    Now that's manly!
[14:56] ---
    We've heard you say that before.
[15:00] ---
    Booze! Bring on the booze!
[15:04] ---
    Let's drink!
[15:05] ---
    I'm still surprised you guys
    joined Blue Pegasus.
[15:09] ---
    Entertaining customers isn't a bad job at all.
[15:12] ---
    But I feel much more at home in shabby pubs.
[15:15] ---
    Did Laxus, umm...
    do any "hospitality" work, too?
[15:22] ---
    Once in a while. And was it ever hilarious!
[15:26] ---
    Just mind your own business.
[15:28] ---
    Say, did you manage to contact Sorano?
[15:32] ---
    Yeah. She was really fuming, too.
[15:36] ---
    Then there was a temple
    that could go through the ocean
[15:39] ---
    and then there were lots of fishies there!
[15:42] ---
    They looked so yummy!
[15:45] ---
    Huh. So vehicles affect you, too, now?
[15:49] ---
    --Yes...
    --Don't sweat it!
[15:51] ---
    I've always been that way!
[15:53] ---
    Uhh... Is that supposed
    to comfort her somehow?
[15:56] ---
    --You pickin' a fight?!
    --Bring it on!
[15:58] ---
    How did that conversation turn into a fight?!
[16:01] ---
    I can't ride in horse carriages anymore...
[16:03] ---
    Is that that big of a deal for you?
[16:06] ---
    Gray, my love! Please give me
    your "hospitality," too!
[16:10] ---
    What are you talking about?!
[16:11] ---
    Fairy Tail's the best!
[16:14] ---
    Are Star Mangoes not available
    in this kingdom?
[16:17] ---
    I've never heard of 'em.
[16:18] ---
    Do they taste manly?
[16:20] ---
    Yuck, that sounds gross.
[16:22] ---
    Sheesh! The place is so noisy!
[16:25] ---
    Still, it looks like things
    are finally back to normal.
[16:30] ---
    Yeah.
[16:33] ---
    Our master has finally returned to Fairy Tail.
[16:37] ---
    As have Laxus and the Thunder Legion.
[16:42] ---
    We learned that the Alvarez Empire
    on the western continent
[16:45] ---
    is home to wizards more powerful
    than we ever imagined.
[16:51] ---
    We also discovered that
    the black wizard Zeref
[16:54] ---
    rules over Alvarez under
    the name "Emperor Spriggan."
[17:00] ---
    And now he's about to spring
    into action to take the Lumen Histoire,
[17:03] ---
    which is actually our first master's body,
    beneath our guildhall.
[17:09] ---
    A war is about to erupt,
[17:12] ---
    and it'll probably be the most
    grueling fight we've ever faced.
[17:17] ---
    I don't want to lose anyone.
[17:19] ---
    I want to win like always...
[17:22] ---
    ...so we can keep laughing
    and smiling like this forever.
[17:27] ---
    At the time, that was my one and only wish.
[17:41] ---
    Everyone... I'm sorry.
[17:45] ---
    I won't make excuses.
    I took your home away from you.
[17:51] ---
    I'm truly sorry.
[17:53] ---
    Mest explained everything!
[17:55] ---
    You did it to protect us, right?
[17:59] ---
    It's no big deal at all.
[18:00] ---
    Yeah! We have our guild back now anyway!
[18:03] ---
    Wipe that grumpy look off your face!
    You'll ruin my booze!
[18:16] ---
    What's more, my plan was all for nothing.
[18:20] ---
    Alvarez is going to invade.
[18:27] ---
    They're a vast superpower,
    and they'll be coming straight for us.
[18:32] ---
    So what?!
[18:37] ---
    We've fought for our guild before.
    Time after time.
[18:42] ---
    We've fought for what's important to us,
[18:44] ---
    no matter how tough our enemies were.
[18:47] ---
    That determination has always
    made us stronger.
[18:52] ---
    It's not that I'm not scared.
[18:54] ---
    It's more like I have a heavy burden
    I dunno how to let go of.
[18:59] ---
    But I know I can count on everyone.
[19:04] ---
    What I am afraid of
[19:06] ---
    is never having fun times like this anymore.
[19:11] ---
    We have to fight, so we can all laugh
    and smile together again.
[19:19] ---
    We have to make a stand!
[19:21] ---
    Not to win, but to live!
[19:23] ---
    That's what our fight is for!
[19:32] ---
    Looks like everyone's made up their mind.
[19:38] ---
    So have I.
[19:40] ---
    Listen up!
[19:42] ---
    We're going to make them
    regret messing with our family!
[19:47] ---
    Let's take 'em down!
[19:51] ---
    I'm all fired up!
[19:53] ---
    Let's win this thing!
[19:54] ---
    Goes without saying!
[19:56] ---
    This is one fight we can't lose.
[19:58] ---
    Our enemy is Zeref!
[20:00] ---
    E.N.D...
[20:02] ---
    We'll be just fine!
[20:05] ---
    I'm gonna fight, too!
[20:07] ---
    I will protect the guild this time. I swear it!
[20:12] ---
    And I'd like to show off
    the results of my year of training.
[20:15] ---
    Huh?! You did training, Mira?!
[20:18] ---
    Yeah, she's way, way stronger now! So am I!
[20:22] ---
    Man, I love this guild!
[20:27] ---
    Before the battle begins,
    there's something I must tell you all.
[20:32] ---
    It's about the Lumen Histoire,
    formally known as the "Fairy Heart."
[20:39] ---
    Perhaps I should do the explaining, Sixth--
[20:44] ---
    Err, Eighth Master.
[20:47] ---
    First Master?!
[20:51] ---
    Is this a projection of her?! Or is it...
[20:56] ---
    Everyone...
[20:57] ---
    Fairy Heart has always been
    our guild's most confidential secret,
[21:03] ---
    because it holds something that
    the world must never learn of.
[21:09] ---
    However, it's also important
    you know why Zeref wants it...
[21:16] ---
    ...and about my own sin.
[21:19] ---
    First Master...
[21:21] ---
    It's all right.
[21:23] ---
    The time has come
    to reveal everything, that's all.
[21:35] ---
    This is a tale of a cursed boy
    and a cursed girl,
[21:42] ---
    and a tale of the primordial
    magic they sought.
[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
[23:20] ---
    Over a century ago,
    a girl living in a turbulent world
[23:27] ---
    crossed paths with a young black wizard.
[23:30] ---
    The ever-turning gears of fate
    offered chance glimpses of hope,
[23:37] ---
    but they also produced a tragic contradiction.
[23:41] ---
    Next Episode: "Mavis and Zeref."
[23:41] ---
    "Mavis and Zeref"
[23:45] ---
    This is a story of the
    primordial essence of magic.
