**[00:03] ---**
Etherious Natsu Dragneel...
**[00:05] ---**
He is the mightiest demon
of the Book of Zeref.
**[00:11] ---**
He is your true foe!
**[00:18] ---**
Wow wow
**[00:21] ---**
Oh We'll get strong!!
**[00:23] ---**
Wow wow
**[00:25] ---**
Hey! Mr. Pain!!
**[00:26] ---**
Bring it!! Bring it!!
**[00:27] ---**
I won't let you do as you like!!
**[00:30] ---**
I'll get stronger than you.
**[00:32] ---**
I've already made up my mind to be so!!
**[00:36] ---**
Yeah, I'm an out-and-out dreamer
**[00:38] ---**
heading to where my heart sings
**[00:41] ---**
Obstacles in the way of tomorrow? Bring 'em on!
**[00:46] ---**
ey Yo!! Bring it! Anytime, anywhere!
**[00:48] ---**
Mr. PAIN
**[00:49] ---**
I'll tear challenges right in half, non-stop
**[00:51] ---**
I'm not gonna lose to anything
**[00:54] ---**
(Raise a flag!!)
**[00:55] ---**
Even if I get covered in bruises
**[00:59] ---**
(Raise a flag!!)
**[01:00] ---**
I have friends who'll fight by my side
**[01:08] ---**
A brilliantly shining new world!!
**[01:10] ---**
I'll gouge the darkness blocking the light
**[01:13] ---**
and break through my so-called limits
**[01:18] ---**
to grab the new world with my own two hands!!
**[01:21] ---**
I'll mercilessly unleash critical hits
**[01:23] ---**
into the boundless future
**[01:26] ---**
Wow wow
**[01:29] ---**
Oh We'll get strong!!
**[01:31] ---**
Wow wow
**[01:51] ---**
We'll have to fight you, too,
if you're gonna stand in our way.
**[01:56] ---**
Please, Brandish. Stop this.
**[02:04] ---**
This is annoying...
**[02:11] ---**
--Natsu!
--What is it?!
**[02:13] ---**
What's wrong?!
**[02:20] ---**
"The Mightiest Demon of the Book of Zeref"
**[02:27] ---**
What's... happening...?
**[02:30] ---**
Hang in there, Natsu!
**[02:35] ---**
--Natsu!
--Natsu!
**[02:39] ---**
I'm the one who managed
to shrink the tumor, remember?
**[02:45] ---**
There's no heartbeat...
**[02:47] ---**
He's developed an anti-ether-nano tumor.
**[02:50] ---**
My magic can alter the size of any object.
**[02:55] ---**
If I know the exact location of his tumor...
**[02:58] ---**
...I can make it small enough
to disappear for good.
**[03:02] ---**
I reverted its size.
**[03:04] ---**
Why would you do that?!
**[03:06] ---**
Why?
**[03:09] ---**
Because he's a threat to us.
**[03:12] ---**
Stop this! Please don't make Natsu suffer!
**[03:17] ---**
You are our enemy.
**[03:19] ---**
That's not true! We can be friends!
**[03:23] ---**
You're thinking of you and my mother.
**[03:27] ---**
You and I grew up in
completely different countries
**[03:30] ---**
and face each other
with completely different goals.
**[03:33] ---**
It's true that I don't hold
a grudge against you anymore.
**[03:37] ---**
But as things stand now...
**[03:40] ---**
I don't know what I should do anymore!
**[03:48] ---**
This is getting annoying, so I want to
settle things for good, Lucy.
**[03:56] ---**
If I win, will you promise to heal Natsu?
**[04:03] ---**
You got it all wrong, Lucy.
**[04:05] ---**
I don't want to settle things
by fighting with you.
**[04:10] ---**
I'm going to part ways by killing you...
**[04:13] ---**
...so I can be rid of this sentimentality.
**[04:16] ---**
What is this magic power...?
**[04:19] ---**
Besides, you have no chance...
**[04:22] ---**
...of beating me anyway!
**[04:24] ---**
Promise me now!
**[04:29] ---**
Fine. You'll never win, anyway!
**[04:35] ---**
Lucy!
**[04:39] ---**
Open, Gate of the Scorpion!
**[04:42] ---**
Scorpio!
**[04:43] ---**
We are!
**[04:45] ---**
Let's do it, Lucy!
**[04:46] ---**
Okay!
**[04:52] ---**
Sand Buster Advance!
**[04:59] ---**
Command T! Diminish!
**[05:02] ---**
Lucy!
**[05:04] ---**
I'll crush you with my bare hands!
**[05:13] ---**
Cancer Form!
**[05:19] ---**
Hiyaaah!
**[05:22] ---**
This is annoying!
**[05:24] ---**
Revert size!
**[05:28] ---**
She vanished--
**[05:33] ---**
Aquametria!
**[05:40] ---**
Whoa...
**[05:42] ---**
It makes the ground swell
and surge like waves.
**[05:45] ---**
It's my girlfriend Aquarius's spell!
**[05:49] ---**
Command T! Diminish!
**[05:54] ---**
She compressed my magic?!
**[05:57] ---**
Our magic powers are on
totally different levels.
**[06:00] ---**
I'm one of the Twelve, and you're not.
**[06:04] ---**
Command T! Magnify!
**[06:13] ---**
L-Lu...
**[06:15] ---**
Natsu!
**[06:17] ---**
Natsu!
**[06:20] ---**
His body is cold! His fire's gonna go out!
**[06:29] ---**
I fully admit that you're stronger than me.
**[06:32] ---**
But I can't afford to lose!
**[06:35] ---**
I really don't want to fight you!
**[06:38] ---**
But I have to! To keep Natsu safe!
**[06:46] ---**
Enough.
**[06:49] ---**
You can drop your little act.
**[06:53] ---**
Mary...
**[06:55] ---**
Now there's another one...
**[06:57] ---**
What act?!
**[07:00] ---**
Randi was never going to kill you
or that man from the very start.
**[07:11] ---**
Seriously? Reverting his tumor?
**[07:14] ---**
You could've expanded his innards
until he popped and died.
**[07:20] ---**
And you could've stomped
the girl to death after shrinking her.
**[07:24] ---**
But why didn't you?
**[07:28] ---**
Because you knew I was watching
and planned to pretend to lose.
**[07:33] ---**
Huh?
**[07:35] ---**
It's all over for you...
**[07:39] ---**
...Randi!
**[07:41] ---**
No, don't--!
**[07:59] ---**
She did it... instantly...
**[08:03] ---**
Who ruined my dear Randi?
**[08:08] ---**
Was it you?
**[08:16] ---**
Don't expect a quick death, girl!
**[08:34] ---**
It's never taken me this long before
to strip magic power out of a person.
**[08:40] ---**
Irene.
**[08:42] ---**
Your Majesty. Is there
something you still need?
**[08:46] ---**
I'd like to focus, if at all possible...
**[08:49] ---**
Stop for a moment.
**[08:54] ---**
Listen to me.
**[08:57] ---**
What is this about?
**[08:59] ---**
I want to speak with Mavis
one final time. In private.
**[09:04] ---**
At this late stage?
This is very wishy-washy of you.
**[09:08] ---**
I only need three minutes.
Can you give me that?
**[09:13] ---**
But, Your Majesty...
**[09:16] ---**
Irene! That isn't me!
**[09:19] ---**
Your Majesty?!
**[09:24] ---**
It couldn't be...!
**[09:28] ---**
An illusion?!
**[09:30] ---**
Illusions are Mavis's specialty.
**[09:33] ---**
But when did she...?!
**[09:35] ---**
Invel must've been defeated.
**[09:39] ---**
She... actually tricked me? Me?
**[09:44] ---**
Pursue her at once.
**[09:46] ---**
But... you aren't to harm her.
**[09:51] ---**
As you wish.
**[10:07] ---**
To think that I would have
to flee our own guildhall...
**[10:12] ---**
I need to rendezvous with the others somehow.
**[10:15] ---**
But given my present position,
reaching them will be difficult.
**[10:22] ---**
What should I do?
**[10:30] ---**
I can take you to them!
**[10:32] ---**
Mest!
**[10:47] ---**
I'm finished... I can't move anymore...
**[10:53] ---**
Droy! Get up!
**[10:56] ---**
Sorry... But...
**[11:02] ---**
This is... the end of the line... for me...
**[11:07] ---**
Droy!
**[11:09] ---**
Don't give up!
**[11:12] ---**
I'll deal with this! You guys get back!
**[11:16] ---**
Gajeel!
**[11:19] ---**
Don't... be reckless... just for us...
**[11:27] ---**
You're all beat up, too, you know!
**[11:33] ---**
I already almost died.
**[11:35] ---**
So I'm more than glad to protect...
**[11:37] ---**
...my friends!
**[11:40] ---**
Friends...
**[11:42] ---**
Gajeel seriously just called us...
**[11:45] ---**
...his friends?!
**[11:58] ---**
Lily!
**[11:59] ---**
You're surprisingly candid today, Gajeel.
**[12:09] ---**
Levy...
**[12:11] ---**
Gajeel...
**[12:17] ---**
Gajeel...
**[12:19] ---**
You big dummy!
**[12:25] ---**
You dummy...
**[12:29] ---**
You're supposed to take me back
to the guildhall, remember?
**[12:34] ---**
You have to keep your promise...
**[12:38] ---**
Yeah. The guildhall's not far now.
**[12:43] ---**
Oh, adolescence is great!
**[12:46] ---**
Who are you?!
**[12:48] ---**
Wait. That voice...
**[12:52] ---**
I'm Zera. Hi.
**[12:55] ---**
That person who gave us directions?
**[12:58] ---**
She's the First Master's friend.
**[13:01] ---**
But, your body...
**[13:04] ---**
It's see-through!
**[13:07] ---**
It looks like Mavis has finally
regained consciousness...
**[13:11] ---**
I was starting to worry she might
never remember me.
**[13:14] ---**
I'm an illusion created by
Mavis's unconsciousness,
**[13:18] ---**
which means I'll disappear
once she remembers me.
**[13:22] ---**
That's terrible...
**[13:24] ---**
Oh! I already died over a hundred years ago!
**[13:28] ---**
So don't feel bad for me now.
**[13:30] ---**
A girl's voice told everyone to gather here?
**[13:35] ---**
And I'm pretty sure only
Fairy Tail members could hear it.
**[13:41] ---**
Who could it have been?
**[13:45] ---**
Zera!
**[13:50] ---**
What a relief. You remembered.
**[13:54] ---**
I got a little nervous there!
**[14:00] ---**
You brought everyone here?!
**[14:06] ---**
Now I see! It was because I came to!
**[14:11] ---**
I've done all I can.
**[14:16] ---**
We're all one again, thanks to you!
**[14:25] ---**
Stay strong, Mavis.
**[14:27] ---**
Sweet dreams, Zera.
**[14:31] ---**
Stay strong, Fairy Tail.
**[14:35] ---**
You and I will always be together.
**[14:43] ---**
She's gone...
**[14:45] ---**
B-But she was so cute...
**[14:49] ---**
Thanks for everything, Zera.
**[14:52] ---**
Thank you.
**[14:54] ---**
Now we have another thing
to look forward to after we win.
**[14:59] ---**
We get to ask the First Master
about her adventures with Zera.
**[15:03] ---**
We get to hear about Fairy Tail's beginning.
**[15:10] ---**
First Master...
**[15:12] ---**
Zera has returned to her place within me.
**[15:17] ---**
I, um... I...
**[15:22] ---**
Now it's time for us to return to our guildhall.
**[15:38] ---**
You killed her. You killed my Randi.
**[15:44] ---**
Now, then...
**[15:46] ---**
What sort of hell should I put you through?
**[15:52] ---**
We finally found her!
**[15:55] ---**
What the...?! She's seriously wounded!
**[16:00] ---**
Wh-Who are you...?
**[16:02] ---**
I'm Porlyusica, Fairy Tail's
consultant pharmacist!
**[16:07] ---**
But never mind that! Where is Natsu?!
**[16:10] ---**
Natsu...
**[16:12] ---**
My diagnosis was wrong.
**[16:14] ---**
That tumor you shrunk...
It isn't made of anti-ether-nano at all!
**[16:21] ---**
It could be something far worse!
**[16:34] ---**
Natsu!
**[16:37] ---**
What is this?!
**[16:39] ---**
When did I get tied up?!
**[16:41] ---**
Sealstone?!
**[16:44] ---**
Ishgar sure has some handy stuff available.
**[16:47] ---**
I had this done to me, too.
**[16:50] ---**
I was strapped in just like you are now.
**[16:54] ---**
You killed Brandish...!
**[16:57] ---**
You ruined her.
**[17:01] ---**
Now you're going to pay.
**[17:03] ---**
Teleportation?
**[17:09] ---**
What's the big idea, you pervert?! Give it back!
**[17:12] ---**
Don't worry. I'm gonna strip this guy, too.
**[17:16] ---**
But, actually...
**[17:18] ---**
He hasn't moved one bit. Is he dead?
**[17:29] ---**
You have such big eyes...
**[17:31] ---**
Do all Ishgar people have eyes like yours?
**[17:34] ---**
I think I'll start by gouging
those irritating eyes out.
**[17:41] ---**
What's with that look?
**[17:44] ---**
I'd prefer if you cried and screamed more.
**[17:48] ---**
I'd rather lose my eyes
than amuse scum like you.
**[17:55] ---**
I don't need my sight to remember
what everything looks like.
**[18:00] ---**
People's faces, the guildhall,
the streets of Magnolia...
**[18:04] ---**
I even remember the smudges
in books I've read.
**[18:08] ---**
If you're going to do it, do it!
**[18:10] ---**
I'm not afraid!
**[18:12] ---**
You little brat...!
**[18:14] ---**
I'm going to butcher that face of yours!
**[18:19] ---**
Natsu!
**[18:40] ---**
What happened?
**[18:42] ---**
Splattered blood?
**[18:44] ---**
My ropes are off...
**[18:47] ---**
And the chair's in pieces?
**[18:51] ---**
Where'd she go?! And where's Natsu?!
**[19:03] ---**
A monster...
**[19:07] ---**
Natsu!
**[19:08] ---**
Where's Natsu?!
**[19:11] ---**
He's a monster...
**[19:14] ---**
Did Natsu do this?!
**[19:17] ---**
He moved inside my "time"...
**[19:21] ---**
He surpassed the power of a god...
**[19:25] ---**
Only E.N.D. could possibly do that...
**[19:33] ---**
Lucy!
**[19:35] ---**
Happy!
**[19:38] ---**
Natsu isn't with you?!
**[19:41] ---**
Porlyusica!
**[19:46] ---**
Randi...
**[19:48] ---**
Brandish! I'm so glad you're alive!
**[19:53] ---**
Hurry and put Mary in your
restraints while you still can.
**[19:58] ---**
Her power stops time.
We can't let her use it on us.
**[20:05] ---**
What happened, anyway?
**[20:07] ---**
I'm not sure, either.
**[20:09] ---**
Natsu and I had both been captured...
**[20:12] ---**
...but when I came to, she had
been beaten and Natsu was gone.
**[20:18] ---**
Do you remember that tumor Natsu had?
**[20:23] ---**
I thought it was an anti-ether-nano tumor
produced by his overuse of magic power.
**[20:28] ---**
But it turns out it was
something else altogether.
**[20:33] ---**
I'm not even sure what it is...
**[20:36] ---**
...but when this girl reverted
the tumor to normal,
**[20:39] ---**
it might've triggered the onset--
no, the awakening...
**[20:43] ---**
...of something demonic!
**[20:47] ---**
E.N.D.?
**[20:50] ---**
I... have to go find Natsu!
**[20:54] ---**
Dressed like that?
**[20:56] ---**
Pervert.
**[21:12] ---**
Zeref...
**[21:14] ---**
Where is Zeref?
**[21:29] ---**
There.
**[21:41] ---**
Natsu...
**[21:48] ---**
Gray...
**[21:52] ---**
This dawn seems like it could wake us
**[21:58] ---**
from the dream we had that day
**[22:04] ---**
Wouldn't you like to see
that bright future again...
**[22:12] ---**
...with those eyes that believed?
**[22:16] ---**
The wavering lights are about to go out
**[22:24] ---**
So let's light up our stories
**[22:31] ---**
one by one
**[22:34] ---**
I'm not going to go anywhere
**[22:41] ---**
as long as you're here
**[22:48] ---**
And when the freezing night comes
**[22:54] ---**
we'll sing all night long
**[23:00] ---**
a heartfelt lu-lu-lullaby
**[23:04] ---**
Your and my lullaby
**[23:07] ---**
to keep the dream warm
**[23:13] ---**
to keep the dream warm
**[23:21] ---**
Natsu and Gray.
**[23:22] ---**
The two clash, unable to stop
or curb their emotions.
**[23:27] ---**
Will the hatred that's taken hold in them
**[23:29] ---**
make the old friends
see each other as enemies?
**[23:33] ---**
Meanwhile, on the front line of the battlefield,
**[23:36] ---**
Erza's group toils to break through
the massive enemy army.
**[23:41] ---**
Next Episode: "Broken Bonds."
**[23:42] ---**
"Broken Bonds"
**[23:44] ---**
The path will be opened by a heart
of self-trust and friendship.
