[00:17] ---
    You're that black wizard...
[00:21] ---
    What brings you here?
[00:23] ---
    Wait, is that Mavis you're holding?!
[00:27] ---
    She's been missing for a whole year.
    She had us worried!
[00:32] ---
    Are you the only person here?
[00:35] ---
    Yeah. Everyone's getting ready
    for the harvest festival.
[00:38] ---
    After Mavis disappeared, I wound up
    serving as temporary master.
[00:43] ---
    Master?
[00:45] ---
    Oh, right. This is a guild.
[00:50] ---
    I came to return Mavis.
[00:56] ---
    H-Hey! You can't throw her around like that!
[01:01] ---
    She's not a doll!
[01:05] ---
    These are her remains.
[01:09] ---
    No matter how far, far away we are
[01:13] ---
    you just need to keep on believing
[01:16] ---
    So, please, stop crying, look up...
[01:20] ---
    ...and let's move forward together
[01:38] ---
    Why do you look down
[01:40] ---
    and stare at the tears you've shed?
[01:45] ---
    Even if today is a bust
[01:47] ---
    we can always walk forward with faith in tomorrow
[01:52] ---
    Having someone who can reach out to me
[01:56] ---
    and someone I can laugh with
[01:59] ---
    gives me a new strength
[02:04] ---
    that can change the world as we know it
[02:06] ---
    No matter how far, far away we are
[02:11] ---
    you just need to keep on believing
[02:14] ---
    everything is for you for you
[02:16] ---
    The morning sun has driven the night away
[02:21] ---
    I won't be afraid or hesitate anymore
[02:24] ---
    I'm going to turn my dream into reality
[02:28] ---
    So, please, stop crying, look up...
[02:33] ---
    ...and let's move forward together
[02:41] ---
    Hey! Mavis!
[02:43] ---
    Mavis! Are you okay?!
[02:45] ---
    What happened?!
[02:48] ---
    Is she asleep?!
[02:49] ---
    Yes. Asleep forever.
[02:56] ---
    Pleasant dreams, Mavis.
[03:00] ---
    Who... are you?!
[03:04] ---
    Zeref.
[03:07] ---
    Hmm...
[03:09] ---
    If Mavis was a fairy,
[03:10] ---
    then I suppose you could say
    I'm a spriggan--a hideous fairy.
[03:18] ---
    "Fairy Heart"
[03:22] ---
    I'm so tired...
[03:26] ---
    I don't want to see anyone...
[03:29] ---
    Oh, yes...
[03:31] ---
    I'll play my simulation game some more.
[03:34] ---
    I won't have to worry about
    running into anyone in Alakitasia.
[03:41] ---
    It was wrong of me to try and love someone.
[03:46] ---
    It was wrong of me.
[03:50] ---
    Zeref?
[03:52] ---
    He's... the legendary black wizard Zeref?!
[03:58] ---
    Mavis! What happened?!
[04:01] ---
    What happened between you two?!
[04:06] ---
    Are you really dead?
[04:11] ---
    No... Her heart is still going.
[04:15] ---
    She's no longer alive,
    but I do sense some faint magic power.
[04:20] ---
    I need to revive her immediately!
[04:23] ---
    As I recall, there's a revival lacrima
    in the guild's basement!
[04:33] ---
    And that's how my body came
    to be sealed inside a lacrima.
[04:41] ---
    He tried many different resurrection spells,
[04:45] ---
    but not a single one had any effect.
[04:51] ---
    Eventually...
[04:52] ---
    Precht, being the exceptionally
    talented wizard that he was...
[04:56] ---
    ...realized I had been stricken
    by the curse of Ankhselam.
[05:01] ---
    It can't be... Was Rita's death
    actually caused by...?
[05:07] ---
    I can't...!
[05:09] ---
    I can't let the other members
    know about this!
[05:15] ---
    And that is how it became a secret.
[05:22] ---
    In 697, Precht opted to tell
    the others that I had died.
[05:30] ---
    An empty grave was placed
    on Tenrou Island, our guild's holy land.
[05:37] ---
    Tenrou Island was my homeland,
[05:40] ---
    and it was where I met Precht and the others.
[05:47] ---
    The same year, Precht became
    Fairy Tail's second master.
[05:53] ---
    He did so as per my living will.
[05:57] ---
    While Precht performed
    his duties as guild master,
[06:01] ---
    he also devoted himself to reviving me.
[06:04] ---
    Three years later, in 700...
[06:07] ---
    ...Makarov's father, Yuri, passed away
[06:10] ---
    without ever learning
    the truth of his wife's death.
[06:13] ---
    Precht continued to try to revive me
    for the next 30 years or so,
[06:18] ---
    but then the situation took
    an unexpected turn.
[06:22] ---
    Precht possessed unparalleled
    knowledge and talent
[06:27] ---
    while my life was preserved
    in a semi-permanent state
[06:31] ---
    due to my inability to age or die.
[06:34] ---
    These elements combined to create
    an inexplicable form of magic...
[06:43] ---
    Magic that would rock
    the wizarding world to its very core.
[06:52] ---
    The everlasting magic: Fairy Heart.
[07:01] ---
    Everlasting magic...?
[07:04] ---
    What does that entail?
[07:06] ---
    It is literally everlasting. It's limitless.
[07:10] ---
    It offers magic power that will never dry up.
[07:13] ---
    Say what?!
[07:15] ---
    It's a source of magic you can use forever?!
[07:18] ---
    Take, for example, the Etherion weapon.
[07:23] ---
    It was the old Council's ultra magic spell
[07:25] ---
    that could wipe out a nation with one blast.
[07:29] ---
    The Fairy Heart contains enough magic energy
[07:32] ---
    to fire an infinite number of Etherion blasts.
[07:35] ---
    No, it's not quite correct to say
    that it "contains" magic energy.
[07:42] ---
    Because it's limitless.
[07:45] ---
    If word of this got out...
[07:47] ---
    The wizarding world would
    get thrown into upheaval.
[07:51] ---
    Ivan once coveted it, in fact.
[07:54] ---
    It seems word of it leaked out
    and reached Alvarez, too.
[07:59] ---
    So Alvarez is gonna invade us
    to try and get the Fairy Heart...
[08:03] ---
    But why? They're already
    super strong as it is.
[08:09] ---
    My guess is that they hope
    to defeat Acnologia.
[08:13] ---
    Even Zeref himself
    considers him to be pure evil.
[08:17] ---
    Wait, does that mean Acnologia is so strong
[08:19] ---
    that that's the only way to beat him?
[08:23] ---
    That's insane...
[08:26] ---
    Um, I know this is a simple question...
    But if we have something this powerful,
[08:32] ---
    can't we just use it to make
    Alvarez and Acnologia go boom?
[08:37] ---
    You know, boom!
[08:38] ---
    You make a good point.
[08:41] ---
    I briefly considered using it
    to stop all those countless Faces.
[08:45] ---
    We could've had a short-term victory
[08:49] ---
    but there was no telling
    what might happen afterward.
[08:52] ---
    What if, for example,
    we lost control of the Etherion
[08:55] ---
    and it continued to rain
    limitless destruction on us all?
[09:00] ---
    Sorry for asking...
[09:02] ---
    We can't fight a poison
    with another poison, after all.
[09:06] ---
    Poison? We're talking about
    our first master's body, you know.
[09:10] ---
    The Fairy Heart must never be released
    into the world, no matter what.
[09:16] ---
    Yeah! Goes without saying!
[09:18] ---
    It's our first master's body anyway!
    We won't let anyone take it!
[09:25] ---
    I never imagined the magic
    resulting from my sin
[09:28] ---
    would cause any of this or that
    it'd drag you into this mess, too.
[09:32] ---
    Sin?
[09:35] ---
    How is loving someone a sin or a crime?!
[09:39] ---
    I couldn't arrest you for that.
[09:47] ---
    What's yer problem?!
[09:50] ---
    First Master. You mustn't blame yourself.
[09:55] ---
    It was just a series of
    unfortunate events, that's all.
[10:01] ---
    Without you, Fairy Tail
    would never have existed.
[10:06] ---
    Which also means...
[10:07] ---
    We never would've met each other.
[10:10] ---
    Right?!
[10:13] ---
    You're the one who brought all of us together.
[10:19] ---
    We want to protect the guild you created!
[10:23] ---
    That's why we're gonna fight!
[10:29] ---
    Your guild has grown into
    something wonderful, First Master.
[10:33] ---
    Sob...
[10:35] ---
    It's so sad that you have to fight
    the person you once loved...
[10:41] ---
    That was a long time ago.
[10:44] ---
    Zeref is now a threat to all of mankind.
[10:48] ---
    We must defeat him.
[10:50] ---
    Still, even if we manage to
    deal with Alvarez's army...
[10:55] ---
    ...Zeref himself can't age or die, right?
[10:58] ---
    Meaning he's immortal?!
[11:00] ---
    Meaning he can't die?!
[11:05] ---
    How do we defeat him, then?
[11:12] ---
    Leave that to me!
[11:15] ---
    I'll take down Zeref.
[11:19] ---
    My right arm here holds a "secret weapon!"
[11:33] ---
    Oh! You're always such an A+, Lady Brandish!
[11:40] ---
    Could you do these nails, too?
[11:43] ---
    Of course! I'll wholeheartedly
    paint them with the greatest of care!
[11:48] ---
    Oh, such a lovely foot! A+!
[11:51] ---
    So, if it's not too much to ask,
[11:54] ---
    do you think you could
    return me to normal size now?
[12:00] ---
    Randi.
[12:01] ---
    Mary.
[12:03] ---
    Rumor is going around that you
    let the troublemakers escape.
[12:07] ---
    I didn't let them escape.
    I just didn't feel like dealing with them.
[12:12] ---
    Yeah! I tried to tell her it was a bad idea!
[12:16] ---
    Oh, you're an A+, too, Lady Dimaria!
[12:20] ---
    Turn him back to normal.
[12:22] ---
    He's like a talking insect. It's disgusting.
[12:24] ---
    --Insect?!
    --Too much of a hassle.
[12:26] ---
    You can't be serious!
[12:29] ---
    Everything's a hassle for you.
    That's why you need him.
[12:33] ---
    The Spriggan 12 have been
    ordered to convene.
[12:37] ---
    I suggest you use his magic to get there.
[12:46] ---
    Lady Brandish! Wh-What are you--?!
[12:49] ---
    I don't like her. She's not cute at all.
[12:52] ---
    In your terms, she's an F-.
[12:56] ---
    Please spare me...
[12:59] ---
    So...?
[13:00] ---
    What is this "secret weapon" of yours?
[13:03] ---
    --It's a secret.
    --What?!
[13:06] ---
    That's what makes it a secret weapon!
[13:08] ---
    Quit acting all mysterious!
[13:09] ---
    What kind of secret do you
    got in your right arm?!
[13:12] ---
    Still, knowing Natsu, it must be
    something really special!
[13:19] ---
    It sounds like you know what
    this "secret weapon" is, too.
[13:23] ---
    Maybe!
[13:24] ---
    I'm impressed you can look so smug
[13:27] ---
    even though it's not even your own secret.
[13:30] ---
    Anyway, I can only use this
    technique one time,
[13:33] ---
    but I invented it specifically to beat Zeref!
[13:38] ---
    I'm 100% sure it'll take him down!
[13:39] ---
    Oh!
[13:43] ---
    Only one time?!
[13:44] ---
    So it really is a secret trump card!
[13:47] ---
    Yep!
[13:48] ---
    If he's so sure, then I'm convinced.
[13:52] ---
    Indeed, his confidence is
    encouraging to hear.
[13:57] ---
    He's really something!
[13:58] ---
    He instantly boosted everyone's morale!
[14:01] ---
    Aye!
[14:03] ---
    That's Natsu for ya.
[14:10] ---
    I do have several strategies of my own,
[14:14] ---
    but for now I'll leave it to Natsu.
[14:18] ---
    Master!
[14:19] ---
    --Yes?
    --Uhh... the old man one.
[14:24] ---
    Could you tell us about the enemy
    we're about to fight?!
[14:27] ---
    Mm. That's a good question.
[14:30] ---
    I'll tell you everything that I do know.
[14:35] ---
    First, Emperor Spriggan.
[14:37] ---
    Here in Ishgar, he's known as
    the mightiest black wizard of all: Zeref.
[14:45] ---
    And beneath him is an elite force
    known as the Spriggan 12.
[14:52] ---
    During my year there,
    I only managed to meet six of them.
[14:56] ---
    Because it's such a large region,
    it's apparently quite rare
[15:00] ---
    for all of them to get together.
[15:09] ---
    Seven members...
[15:11] ---
    I'm impressed so many are in attendance
    despite the sudden notice.
[15:14] ---
    Actually, Sir Neinhart is also
    in the palace, but, well...
[15:20] ---
    That's all right.
[15:22] ---
    It is not all right.
[15:24] ---
    Defying Your Majesty's orders
    tarnishes the Twelve's name.
[15:29] ---
    Invel, the Winter General.
[15:31] ---
    He is Zeref's chief of staff...
[15:34] ---
    ...and his chief administrator.
[15:35] ---
    Given his title, I believe that
    he uses ice-based magic,
[15:40] ---
    but I don't know any details.
[15:43] ---
    Ice...
[15:44] ---
    Don't be such a stick in the mud, Invel.
[15:47] ---
    We can just start with
    everyone who's here.
[15:50] ---
    A small, elite force
    would be nicer anyway.
[15:53] ---
    Ajeel, the Desert King,
[15:55] ---
    is the sand wizard we
    encountered during our escape.
[15:59] ---
    He's one of the Twelve's most
    aggressive members.
[16:04] ---
    Him...
[16:06] ---
    As you've likely already surmised,
[16:09] ---
    we're finally about to begin
    our invasion of Ishgar.
[16:13] ---
    What a hassle.
[16:15] ---
    Now don't say that, Brandish.
[16:18] ---
    You agreed to follow my orders, remember?
[16:21] ---
    Of course.
[16:22] ---
    My feelings and my actions
    are two separate things.
[16:25] ---
    Even if it's a pain,
    I'll do anything you order.
[16:28] ---
    Brandish, the Nation Destroyer.
[16:31] ---
    She isn't particularly aggressive,
[16:33] ---
    but she has enough magic power
    to wipe out entire countries.
[16:37] ---
    We encountered her before,
    on Caracol Island.
[16:41] ---
    I believe she uses magic that
    can alter an object's mass.
[16:47] ---
    You say everything you think.
    That's why everyone hates you, Randi.
[16:51] ---
    Oh? I hate them, actually.
[16:56] ---
    I see. It's no wonder
    we see eye-to-eye, then.
[17:00] ---
    Dimaria, the Warrior Queen.
[17:02] ---
    I don't know what magic she has,
[17:04] ---
    but she's a knight revered as
    a goddess of the battlefield.
[17:10] ---
    --She's a knight? Not a wizard?!
    --You're hardly one to talk.
[17:14] ---
    God Serena.
[17:16] ---
    Will scorching your homeland
    be painful for you?
[17:25] ---
    Painful, it is...
[17:27] ---
    ...not!
[17:35] ---
    Creep.
[17:45] ---
    Thank you.
[17:47] ---
    God Serena, the mightiest
    of the Ten Wizard Saints.
[17:51] ---
    He's a disappointment of a man
    in every sense of the word,
[17:54] ---
    but I know how powerful
    he is more than anyone.
[17:59] ---
    I still can't believe our top-ranked
    Wizard Saint is now our enemy.
[18:04] ---
    I wonder why he deserted Ishgar.
[18:07] ---
    I doubt there's any way to know
    without asking him personally.
[18:11] ---
    I'm gonna arrest that dirty traitor!
[18:16] ---
    Your Majesty.
[18:17] ---
    All of us are now ready for
    the final war of Ragnarok.
[18:23] ---
    August, the Wizard King.
[18:27] ---
    Be especially wary of him...
[18:29] ---
    From what little I know,
    he's on a completely different level.
[18:32] ---
    He possesses tremendous magic power
[18:35] ---
    that makes the others' pale in comparison.
[18:41] ---
    I've heard he can use every manner of magic
    from every region of the world.
[18:47] ---
    He might even wield more types
    of magic than Zeref himself.
[19:00] ---
    Those are the six I have knowledge of.
[19:03] ---
    I only know the names of three others...
[19:07] ---
    Bloodman.
[19:10] ---
    Neinhart.
[19:12] ---
    And Wall.
[19:14] ---
    In short, our target is the body
    of your former lover.
[19:18] ---
    A truly sinful act, indeed...
[19:21] ---
    Not quite.
[19:23] ---
    The Fairy Heart is a form
    of magic. Not a person.
[19:27] ---
    Plus, the Fairy Heart is not the only goal.
[19:31] ---
    We will also wipe out Ishgar.
[19:34] ---
    Humanity must be temporarily exterminated.
[19:37] ---
    Humanity, huh...
[19:40] ---
    We are simply playing pieces.
[19:43] ---
    An interesting interpretation, indeed.
[19:48] ---
    It's perfect.
[19:51] ---
    Now, let us formulate our strategy.
[19:54] ---
    Hey, mind if I do it all myself?!
[19:58] ---
    We'll now devise our strategy.
[20:00] ---
    Please listen well, everyone.
[20:03] ---
    No. I can't let you do it all.
[20:07] ---
    This is a full-scale assault.
[20:10] ---
    Zeref will come at us with his entire army.
[20:13] ---
    That's crazy! I can easily handle it myself!
[20:17] ---
    God Serena was the strongest guy
    on their continent!
[20:20] ---
    Which means I could annihilate
    them by myself!
[20:24] ---
    That would normally be fine.
[20:26] ---
    But an all-out attack by our
    entire army sends a certain message.
[20:33] ---
    There's no question that we face
    an overwhelming disadvantage.
[20:38] ---
    And our foe is far more powerful
    than any we've faced before.
[20:43] ---
    The Dragon King Festival begins.
[20:45] ---
    Let the invasion commence.
[20:48] ---
    But we will prevail with
    our courage and bonds.
[20:53] ---
    Let's show them what our guild is made of!
[21:08] ---
    My arm aches...
[21:11] ---
    My arm that was eaten by the Flame Dragon.
[21:17] ---
    The Dragon King Festival...
[21:20] ---
    It's time for me to devour all.
[21:39] ---
    I am King of the Dragons,
    and the absolute being.
[21:46] ---
    I am Acnologia!
[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] ---
    The Fairy Tail members spend
    the night in their own way
[23:24] ---
    before the battle for
    the guild's existence begins.
