[00:02] ---
Damn! Why didn't we see them approaching?!
[00:05] ---
All members, prepare for battle!
[00:08] ---
The enemy is coming from the sky!
[00:11] ---
Approximately 50 full-size aerial cruisers!
[00:34] ---
Nakagami...
[00:36] ---
...Starlight!
[00:43] ---
You're horrible.
[00:52] ---
Me & you made it through the bad times
[00:56] ---
Change the game -
You taught me the importance
[01:03] ---
of sharing roundabout times
that are too much to overcome alone
[01:08] ---
I have faith in our vision
[01:12] ---
for the future -
Sure enuff (uh, uh huh)
[01:16] ---
Unneeded reasons,
lingering hopes, and feelings of apprehension
[01:19] ---
Just ball it all up and let it go
[01:21] ---
No matter what happens, keep ya head up
[01:26] ---
Now let's go, to the future we seek
[01:30] ---
We can make it (uh huh)
[01:32] ---
There's no stopping us (uh huh)
[01:34] ---
The world may change again today,
[01:38] ---
but you're my family (uh huh)
[01:40] ---
We have an unwavering wish and dream
[01:42] ---
We are down by law -
Just know this
[01:46] ---
We'll never, ever run from a fight
[01:51] ---
We are down by law -
no matter what walls stand in our way
[01:55] ---
We'll go right over them -
Woo we do it for real
[02:05] ---
(We do it for real)
[02:26] ---
We've managed to fend off one wave of attacks.
[02:29] ---
However, the fact we're being besieged
from all sides remains unchanged.
[02:35] ---
Yeah, but we got all the guilds
in Fiore to help us now!
[02:40] ---
Talk about reassuring!
We've got this one in the bag!
[02:43] ---
No.
[02:46] ---
This is a Fairy Tail issue.
[02:49] ---
I had hoped to keep
the other guilds out of this mess...
[02:52] ---
We'll never win with
a goody-two-shoes attitude like that.
[02:57] ---
The battle's taking place on Ishgar.
[02:59] ---
This was gonna happen sooner or later.
[03:02] ---
But all I care about right now
is getting the guy who attacked Fried's team.
[03:07] ---
Laxus does have a point.
[03:11] ---
We should gratefully accept
the other guilds' help
[03:14] ---
and devise a brand new plan.
[03:19] ---
Warren.
[03:20] ---
What's the situation?
[03:22] ---
I'm on it!
[03:26] ---
"Natsu vs. Zeref"
[03:37] ---
So this Magic Sealstone stuff
actually works, right?
[03:41] ---
Well, she's not causing any trouble...
[03:44] ---
...so maybe it really is blocking her magic?
[03:51] ---
She is pretty hot, though!
[03:54] ---
Do all western girls dress like her?
[03:59] ---
I mean, look at Bisca.
[04:08] ---
Y-Yeah. No ordinary mom dresses like that...
[04:13] ---
Since she's our prisoner and all,
let's restrain her in a sexier way!
[04:17] ---
Y-Yeah!
[04:19] ---
We could tie her legs up
and then make it so her rear--
[04:24] ---
Knock it off.
[04:26] ---
Oww...
[04:28] ---
Master told you to treat her
with respect, you know!
[04:32] ---
Look away for just a second
and this is what happens...
[04:35] ---
We're sorry!
[04:39] ---
Tell me.
[04:40] ---
Are you and my mom connected somehow?
[04:43] ---
You called me "Layla's daughter" after all.
[04:48] ---
I'm not telling you a thing.
[04:50] ---
If you're gonna kill me, kill me.
[04:52] ---
We don't do that to prisoners here.
[04:56] ---
Please. Tell me about my mom.
[04:59] ---
You should kill me now,
while you have the chance.
[05:02] ---
You brought me inside your guildhall, correct?
[05:06] ---
You're going to regret that choice, you know.
[05:10] ---
It's no use, Lucy.
[05:18] ---
So that's the enemy's base,
where Lady Brandish is being held...
[05:24] ---
With my Law of Space,
sneaking in will be a piece of cake!
[05:34] ---
Your Majesty.
[05:35] ---
It appears that Ajeel and Brandish
have been defeated.
[05:39] ---
What?
[05:42] ---
That's fine.
[05:43] ---
It wouldn't be fun any other way, Mavis.
[05:48] ---
Ajeel--my grandson--has fallen in battle?
[05:53] ---
They killed two of the Twelve...
This is most unexpected.
[05:58] ---
They haven't been killed.
[06:01] ---
That's another of our opponents' weaknesses.
[06:09] ---
News from the east!
[06:11] ---
Almost every guild in Bosco
has been wiped out!
[06:14] ---
--What?!
--Almost every guild in an entire country?!
[06:18] ---
That's insane!
[06:19] ---
It's not clear if their goal is to conquer Bosco,
[06:22] ---
but they've stopped advancing
this way for now!
[06:24] ---
There's good news, too!
[06:26] ---
The enemy army coming from the north...
[06:30] ---
...is about to get a visit from
Sabertooth and Blue Pegasus!
[07:10] ---
The southern invasion group
has taken over Hargeon's port...
[07:13] ---
...but Mermaid Heel and Lamia Scale
are on their way to take it back!
[07:39] ---
So we just need to deal with
the guys to the east and west!
[07:44] ---
Not exactly. There's no guarantee
we'll win to the north or south.
[07:49] ---
C'mon! Have some faith in the other guilds!
[07:52] ---
First Master! We should go help them, too!
[07:56] ---
Yeah! We can't just sit here
and let the other guilds protect us!
[07:59] ---
It'd look bad!
[08:00] ---
Now's our time to go on the offensive!
[08:04] ---
Of course.
[08:06] ---
Mirajane, Elfman, Lisanna,
Gajeel, Levy, and Lily will head north.
[08:13] ---
Manly!
[08:15] ---
I would hate to have to owe Jenny.
[08:18] ---
--Let's do our best!
--Yeah!
[08:20] ---
Besides, I wanna arrest Sabertooth.
[08:23] ---
Hey. That's not our goal.
[08:25] ---
Natsu, Gray, Juvia, Wendy, Charle,
and Laxus will head south.
[08:32] ---
Guess we'll get to see ol' Lyon again.
[08:35] ---
Personally, I'd rather not...
[08:38] ---
That mecha-freak's real body
is to the south, right?
[08:42] ---
I can fight alongside Shelia again!
[08:45] ---
The Sky Sisters, back in business!
[08:47] ---
Yeah!
[08:48] ---
Wait, where's Natsu?
[08:50] ---
Come to think of it, where did he go?
[08:53] ---
Is Natsu seriously off doing
his own thing at a time like this?!
[08:57] ---
Find him!
[08:59] ---
Natsu! Where are you?!
[09:02] ---
--Natsu!
--Where are you?!
[09:05] ---
Natsu!
[09:07] ---
I'm certain Natsu will be fine!
[09:10] ---
Erza!
[09:11] ---
I will go south in his place.
[09:14] ---
I would like to see Kagura again...
[09:16] ---
But you're too hurt...!
[09:18] ---
Natsu...
[09:20] ---
Lucy and Cana will continue
to watch the prisoner.
[09:24] ---
R-Right!
[09:25] ---
Yeah. Definitely can't leave her
to those old creeps.
[09:31] ---
Everyone else will defend the guildhall!
[09:34] ---
There's still the possibility
of a surprise enemy attack.
[09:37] ---
First Master...
[09:39] ---
What shall we do about the east and west?
[09:42] ---
The western force is moving
the slowest of them all.
[09:45] ---
I believe that's where Zeref is located.
[09:50] ---
Once the other three groups are dealt with,
[09:53] ---
we'll have to fend him off
with everything we have left.
[09:56] ---
Then what about the east?! Let me go there!
[10:01] ---
The eastern army currently
poses the greatest threat.
[10:04] ---
As such, the situation calls for
our greatest military resource, too.
[10:08] ---
What do you mean?!
[10:11] ---
Warren. I assume we're in contact?
[10:13] ---
Yep! Fiore's ultimate
military power is in position!
[10:37] ---
The Four Emperors of Ishgar?!
[10:39] ---
Awesome!
[10:40] ---
But, why...?
[10:42] ---
They've been working behind the scenes
all this time, trying to avoid war.
[10:47] ---
But now they feel responsible
for what's happening,
[10:50] ---
even though it isn't their fault.
[10:52] ---
Should the enemy somehow get past them,
[10:56] ---
then there's no one who can
hold the eastern army back.
[10:59] ---
We're counting on you... Warrod.
[11:06] ---
Wh-Whoa! Look!
[11:09] ---
It's Natsu! We found Natsu!
[11:13] ---
He's traveling super-fast!
[11:16] ---
Where is he going?
[11:19] ---
He can't be...!
[11:26] ---
Your Majesty. An object is
approaching at a tremendous speed.
[11:35] ---
Let's finish this once and for all, Zeref!
[11:40] ---
Natsu is seriously rushing
right at Zeref, all by himself?!
[11:45] ---
That's way too reckless!
[11:47] ---
That idiot...
[11:48] ---
--Change of plan! Let's go after him!
--All right! I'm coming, too!
[11:53] ---
Wait.
[11:54] ---
We need to stick to our first master's plan.
[11:58] ---
Let's leave Zeref in Natsu's hands.
[12:00] ---
Are you being serious?!
[12:02] ---
This is Zeref we're talking about!
He even has the Book of E.N.D.!
[12:06] ---
Natsu said he had a secret weapon
for defeating Zeref.
[12:10] ---
My right arm here holds a "secret weapon!"
[12:15] ---
I'm certain he'll succeed.
[12:17] ---
You always put too much faith in Natsu, Erza!
[12:23] ---
Umm...
[12:24] ---
My darling...
[12:27] ---
Are you saying you don't have faith in Natsu?
[12:36] ---
Come on! Stop it, you two!
[12:40] ---
First Master... What should we do?
[12:44] ---
Let's put our trust in Natsu.
[12:47] ---
It might seem like
a reckless strategy at first glance,
[12:50] ---
but it's also a logical one.
[12:52] ---
We're currently surrounded on all sides.
[12:55] ---
Dispatching their leader and ending
the battle as early as possible
[12:58] ---
might be an effective way
out of this predicament.
[13:02] ---
Gray...
[13:03] ---
Let's have faith in Natsu.
[13:06] ---
It ain't that I don't have faith in him.
[13:09] ---
I'm... just worried about him going alone.
[13:12] ---
I can't believe it! You? Worried about Natsu?!
[13:15] ---
He isn't alone.
[13:18] ---
After all, he does have Happy with him.
[13:23] ---
Natsu.
[13:24] ---
--There they are.
--Yeah.
[13:27] ---
There's so many.
[13:29] ---
It's like a big, black carpet.
[13:31] ---
And they're trying to roll it out
in someone else's house.
[13:34] ---
That reminds me, what happened
to that dirty rug we used to have?
[13:38] ---
You burned it up.
[13:40] ---
Oh, yeah!
[13:42] ---
I burned it up!
[13:44] ---
Here we go, Happy!
[13:45] ---
Aye, Sir!
[14:10] ---
What the hell?!
[14:11] ---
Enemy attack!
[14:13] ---
Take us down, Happy!
[14:15] ---
You're seriously gonna fight 'em all?!
[14:17] ---
Yeah! I'm gonna drag Zeref out!
[14:40] ---
--Bastard!
--You're goin' down!
[15:06] ---
--He deflected it!
--Doesn't matter!
[15:09] ---
Fire! He's only one man!
[15:22] ---
Natsu!
[15:24] ---
I'm fine!
[15:27] ---
I wanna protect the others...
[15:30] ---
...so I have to fight!
[15:34] ---
Fire Dragon King...
[15:36] ---
...Roar!
[16:01] ---
Th-The terrain totally changed shape!
[16:04] ---
H-He's a monster...
[16:11] ---
No one ever mentioned
that Ishgar has a guy like him!
[16:16] ---
How many men did he take out?!
[16:19] ---
Nine hundred seventy-three.
[16:33] ---
That leaves 999,027 left.
[16:40] ---
--Oh!
--His Majesty!
[16:44] ---
You showed up sooner than I expected.
[16:47] ---
I just couldn't wait to see you again... Natsu.
[16:52] ---
But this is where we say goodbye... Zeref.
[17:04] ---
Did he just call His Majesty "Zeref"?
[17:09] ---
Zeref?
[17:11] ---
It's His Majesty's name in Ishgar.
[17:13] ---
Sir Invel...
[17:15] ---
The black wizard Zeref.
[17:18] ---
Or perhaps that's his true name.
[17:21] ---
Could we have some space, please?
[17:24] ---
--You should get back, too, Happy.
--Aye.
[17:29] ---
He's planning to use it right off the bat.
[17:31] ---
Good luck, Natsu!
[17:34] ---
Invel. Have them retreat
several kilometers to the west.
[17:39] ---
But, Your Majesty, is it really necessary
[17:41] ---
for you to personally handle this lowly cretin?
[17:45] ---
It's something only I can do.
[17:50] ---
Everyone! Retreat to the west!
[17:54] ---
His Majesty will clear the path for us!
[17:58] ---
You ain't getting our first master.
[18:01] ---
Things only ended up this way
because you couldn't destroy me.
[18:07] ---
I don't understand what you're saying one bit.
[18:11] ---
But I also don't care.
[18:23] ---
What is this magic power?
[18:26] ---
This heat...!
[18:29] ---
Here goes!
[18:53] ---
He burned the spell away?!
[19:26] ---
You got this, Natsu! You got this!
[19:57] ---
I'm surprised...
[19:58] ---
What is that power of yours?
[20:01] ---
It's the power Igneel gave me.
[20:05] ---
It's the last of the power he left inside me...
[20:09] ---
I spent ten months training
just so I could release it now.
[20:14] ---
The last of his power?
[20:16] ---
Yeah.
[20:18] ---
I can only use this magic power once.
It'll never regenerate again.
[20:23] ---
It's Igneel's tenacity, literally.
[20:29] ---
The power of someone who's dead...
[20:32] ---
Yes! That just might work...!
[20:36] ---
It might be able to
destroy someone who can't die!
[20:41] ---
Mode: Fire Dragon King!
[20:57] ---
The land... is burning...!
[21:01] ---
Incredible!
[21:03] ---
This is the end, Zeref!
[21:08] ---
Now, after all this time,
my wish is finally granted...
[21:15] ---
Thank you...
[21:18] ---
...Igneel.
[21:21] ---
Anna...
[21:23] ---
Layla...
[21:26] ---
Mavis...
[21:28] ---
And...
[21:31] ---
My dear little brother...
[21:38] ---
...Natsu.
[22:08] ---
The rain has stopped and it feels nice
[22:11] ---
But I'm just here, idling away
[22:14] ---
I'll come to you as you wait in the sky
[22:18] ---
So start an inner countdown and wait for me
[22:22] ---
If you see an opening,
[22:24] ---
strike without hesitation
[22:28] ---
That's what I learned
[22:31] ---
Oh yeah
[22:33] ---
from the bond of our friendship
[22:37] ---
I'm certain the miracle that brought us together
[22:39] ---
will reach beyond the sky
[22:43] ---
and my normal, constant feelings
of anxiety will cut loose
[22:49] ---
Even if we get betrayed,
just forget about them
[22:56] ---
Now go forth! Go! Go!
[23:02] ---
You gotta go
[23:20] ---
The tenacious flame entrusted
by the Fire Dragon Igneel
[23:24] ---
burns away the black wizard's body.
[23:26] ---
Zeref, who senses death's arrival,
begins to reveal the secret
[23:30] ---
behind Natsu's birth,
which is unknown even to Natsu.
[23:33] ---
After learning the shocking truth,
Natsu swings his fists even more.
[23:38] ---
But is it to protect his family,
or something else?
[23:43] ---
Next Episode: "Across 400 Years."
[23:43] ---
"Across 400 Years"
[23:46] ---
A demon of the Book of Zeref
finally returns to Zeref.
