**[00:01] ---**
Hey, all you viewers out there!
**[00:03] ---**
When you're watchin' Fairy Tail, make
sure to keep the room nice and bright,
**[00:07] ---**
and sit back from the screen, 'kay?
**[00:14] ---**
You killed Karen, your owner?
**[00:21] ---**
Spirits who kill their masters
cannot return to the Spirit World.
**[00:25] ---**
I will now start to disappear.
**[00:28] ---**
In front of her grave...
**[00:31] ---**
But, that's...
**[00:54] [SONG] ---**
It'll be all right! I'll yell it out countless times.
**[00:58] [SONG] ---**
I believe your every tomorrow will be shining.
**[01:03] [SONG] ---**
The intersection of all people
**[01:06] [SONG] ---**
whose dreams have come true is one point:
**[01:08] [SONG] ---**
Never giving up. And that's why we're not gonna lose!
**[01:13] [SONG] ---**
When it seems like you'll be blown away by the headwinds,
**[01:18] [SONG] ---**
grasp this hand, try to take a chance.
**[01:20] [SONG] ---**
Because you're not alone anymore, got it?
**[01:27] [SONG] ---**
Go forward, more and more!
**[01:29] [SONG] ---**
Don't give up on your awesome dream!
**[01:31] [SONG] ---**
That's right, don't cry!
**[01:32] [SONG] ---**
Move on, my way!
**[01:34] [SONG] ---**
Now, with the light shining down upon you.
**[01:36] [SONG] ---**
Don't even think about something like giving up!
**[01:38] [SONG] ---**
Even if you trade being hurt again for strength.
**[01:41] [SONG] ---**
Your eyes, always looking straight ahead,
**[01:46] [SONG] ---**
can surely see the light!
**[02:08] ---**
It all started three years ago...
**[02:11] ---**
Sorry, I'm heading to the spa now.
**[02:15] ---**
You be good boys and run home now.
**[02:17] ---**
Hey, what about our date today?
**[02:17] ---**
What's with her?
**[02:18] ---**
She's got another harem?
**[02:20] ---**
Ugh.
**[02:23] ---**
Oh, Karen my dear, you're back?
**[02:25] ---**
If I must...
**[02:28] ---**
Gate of the Ram, I open thee!
**[02:31] ---**
Aries!
**[02:35] ---**
Um... Did you call me?
**[02:38] ---**
I'm sorry...
**[02:40] ---**
Oh-boy!
**[02:40] ---**
She's fluffy and cute!
**[02:40] ---**
There she is!
**[02:42] ---**
Aries!
**[02:43] ---**
Do me a favor and keep them company, 'kay?
**[02:46] ---**
B-But, I...
**[02:48] ---**
I'm sorry!
**[02:49] ---**
Fine by me.
**[02:49] ---**
Let's play, fluffy-wuffy...
**[02:51] ---**
I'm not a spirit for entertaining men, though...
**[02:56] ---**
Are you disobeying my orders, huh?
**[02:59] ---**
I'm sorry!
**[03:01] ---**
Okay, then it's settled!
**[03:02] ---**
Let's play, Aries!
**[03:03] ---**
Let's go for a drive in my magic wheels!
**[03:07] ---**
The Spirit King!
**[03:12] ---**
Honestly, when a spirit starts
talking back to her master...
**[03:16] ---**
What's the world coming to?
**[03:18] ---**
Karen, deary... Don't go
treating your spirits so badly.
**[03:24] ---**
I'm free to use my property
as I see fit, aren't I?
**[03:29] ---**
Little Aries seems like she's suffering.
**[03:33] ---**
Like when you used her as a shield to
block the opposing wizard's attack...
**[03:41] ---**
I'm sorry!
**[03:45] ---**
Suffering? Spirits don't
have feelings like that.
**[03:49] ---**
They're just tools.
**[03:51] ---**
Karen!
**[03:53] ---**
Spirits are living things, too!
**[03:55] ---**
Treat them poorly, and *you'll*
be the one suffering next!
**[04:04] ---**
Don't bring your petty grievances to the master!
**[04:07] ---**
No! I didn't say a thing!
**[04:11] ---**
I'm sorry...
**[04:12] ---**
Making Master Bob angry at
me is no laughing matter!
**[04:18] ---**
I-I didn't... I'm sorry...
**[04:20] ---**
Playing innocent, are you?
**[04:23] ---**
What are you going to do?
**[04:24] ---**
As punishment, I will have you stay
in the human world for seven days.
**[04:30] ---**
Seven days? But you don't have that
sort of magical power, Madame Karen.
**[04:33] ---**
I'm sorry!
**[04:34] ---**
I wouldn't underestimate me if I were you.
**[04:37] ---**
You'd do better to worry about yourself.
**[04:41] ---**
I wonder what'll happen to a Spirit that
stays in the human world for seven days?
**[04:46] ---**
I'm curious...
**[04:48] ---**
P-Please stop...
**[04:50] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[04:54] ---**
Running away?
**[04:55] ---**
It's no use! I'll call you back
as many times as it takes!
**[04:59] ---**
You're wrong. I forcibly
switched places with her.
**[05:02] ---**
It's you...
**[05:03] ---**
Let it go, Karen.
**[05:06] ---**
Leo, the Lion.
**[05:09] ---**
That's how I was back then.
**[05:11] ---**
Aries and I were both bound
by contract to Karen.
**[05:17] ---**
How dare you open the gate on your own!
**[05:20] ---**
I'm a spirit designed for
battle and quite tough.
**[05:24] ---**
I can overlook a bit of mistreatment.
**[05:28] ---**
But if you continue to do such horrible
things to Aries, I will not forgive you.
**[05:35] ---**
And what do you, a spirit, plan to do about it?
**[05:38] ---**
I think I should just tell
you straight out today...
**[05:41] ---**
I want you to release Aries
and me from our contracts.
**[05:45] ---**
What?
**[05:47] ---**
I cannot bear watching your evil actions.
**[05:50] ---**
The other spirits fear their keys
coming into your possession.
**[05:54] ---**
Shut up! Silence!
**[05:55] ---**
You are a disgrace to Celestial Wizards.
**[05:58] ---**
Go back!
**[05:59] ---**
Gate of the Lion, close!
**[06:09] ---**
Close!
**[06:10] ---**
Close!
**[06:11] ---**
Go back, Leo!
**[06:18] ---**
Why can't I do a forced closure?
**[06:20] ---**
Until you release us from your contract,
I have no intention of going back.
**[06:26] ---**
While I am here, you can't
call any other spirits.
**[06:30] ---**
With your magical power, you aren't able to
call more than one spirit at the same time after all.
**[06:36] ---**
That'll be quite a problem for you, yes?
**[06:39] ---**
I wonder if this will go as you plan?
**[06:43] ---**
Your magical power isn't infinite, either.
**[06:46] ---**
In ten days, my magical power will be used up,
and you'll be forced to go back to the Spirit World.
**[06:53] ---**
No. I used my own magical power to come here.
**[06:57] ---**
Your magical power is irrelevant.
**[07:00] ---**
I'll stay here no matter how many days it takes.
**[07:02] ---**
There are some ruins to the west of town.
**[07:05] ---**
If you reconsider, come see me.
**[07:15] ---**
How dare he!
**[07:22] ---**
Come back, Leo!
**[07:24] ---**
Aren't you basically at your limit?
**[07:27] ---**
The Lion is the leader of the 12 Zodiac Gates.
**[07:31] ---**
Things that the other spirits
can't handle, I can.
**[07:35] ---**
Until you release us from our contracts,
I won't leave the human world.
**[07:40] ---**
You've got to be kidding me!
**[07:41] ---**
You expect me to give up two
of the 12 Zodiac gate keys?
**[07:45] ---**
With you, I can earn a whole lot more money!
**[07:49] ---**
Go away.
**[07:51] ---**
When you feel like releasing us, come back.
**[07:54] ---**
Why, you...
**[08:01] ---**
Come on...
**[08:02] ---**
It's been a month already.
**[08:05] ---**
I can't do any work with you doing this!
**[08:09] ---**
I promise... I won't mistreat Aries any more.
**[08:14] ---**
Promise?
**[08:15] ---**
You're a liar.
**[08:17] ---**
If you really regret what
you did, you'd let us free.
**[08:23] ---**
Damn you!
**[08:24] ---**
Go to hell and die!
**[08:26] ---**
If you disappear, I can call Aries again!
**[08:29] ---**
It's all 'cause you're here!
**[08:32] ---**
This is all your fault, damn you!
**[08:40] ---**
I'm getting used to being in the Human World.
**[08:46] ---**
I can't really stop my life-force from
eroding, but I'm not suffering like before.
**[08:54] ---**
It's been three months...
**[08:56] ---**
Maybe I should forgive Karen now.
**[08:59] ---**
If she mistreats Aries again,
I can always save her once more.
**[09:14] ---**
It can't be!
**[09:16] ---**
She took on a job recklessly
without my permission.
**[09:22] ---**
She must have been horribly impatient
not being able to work for three months.
**[09:27] ---**
But Karen shouldn't have been
able to call any spirits!
**[09:31] ---**
And yet...
**[09:33] ---**
A wizard using a large amount
of magical power at once
**[09:37] ---**
should be able to call forth
two spirits at the same time.
**[09:41] ---**
Karen was betting on that.
**[09:44] ---**
But in the end her body wasn't able to take it.
**[09:50] ---**
All I wanted was for Karen
to rethink her actions...
**[09:55] ---**
To realize that spirits aren't tools...
**[09:59] ---**
That we have free will, that
we have hearts of our own...
**[10:04] ---**
That's all I wanted...
**[10:06] ---**
This...
**[10:08] ---**
This isn't what I wanted!
**[10:11] ---**
Karen!
**[10:13] ---**
Karen!
**[10:22] ---**
That is the sin I committed.
**[10:26] ---**
Human life cannot be returned once it is lost.
**[10:30] ---**
The dead never return, for eternity.
**[10:33] ---**
The only way to repent is
for me to disappear myself.
**[10:40] ---**
Loke, hey!
**[10:43] ---**
I guess it's about time...
**[10:45] ---**
Time? Time for what?
**[10:47] ---**
Time for me to disappear...
**[10:50] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[10:54] ---**
Karen...
**[11:02] ---**
Ever since that day, I've been unable
to return to the Spirit World.
**[11:06] ---**
Y-Your hand...
**[11:07] ---**
It's the law of the Spirit World. The rules.
**[11:11] ---**
I can't do anything about it.
**[11:14] ---**
I was never able to forget
about Karen since then.
**[11:19] ---**
I tried a lot of things to get my mind
off it, but I could never forget.
**[11:26] ---**
I've simply been persisting
until this time came.
**[11:30] ---**
Until the moment I disappear
in front of Karen's grave.
**[11:34] ---**
And, at long last, the time has come.
**[11:39] ---**
Thank you, Lucy, for letting me meet a truly
wonderful Celestial Wizard in the end...
**[11:45] ---**
Wait! I'll save you! Don't give up!
**[11:48] ---**
Give my regards to everyone at Fairy Tail...
**[11:54] ---**
No!
**[11:55] ---**
Lucy...
**[11:56] ---**
I won't accept this!
**[11:59] ---**
If you return to the Spirit World, your
life-force will recover really quickly!
**[12:04] ---**
I'll make it so you can return!
**[12:08] ---**
You can't do that...
**[12:10] ---**
The law is the law...
**[12:13] ---**
But... This is wrong!
**[12:16] ---**
You didn't actually kill Karen!
**[12:19] ---**
It was just an unfortunate accident!
**[12:22] ---**
Lucy...
**[12:23] ---**
Gate of the Lion, I open thee!
**[12:25] ---**
Return Loke to the Spirit World!
**[12:28] ---**
Open! Please!
**[12:31] ---**
Open!
**[12:33] ---**
Lucy... That's enough. Please stop...
**[12:36] ---**
I won't stop!
**[12:38] ---**
I can't stand by when a friend of
mine is disappearing before my eyes!
**[12:46] ---**
Gate of the Lion, I open thee!
**[12:51] ---**
Lucy! Don't use so much
magical power all at once!
**[12:55] ---**
I said I'm going to save you, no matter what!
**[12:58] ---**
I can force open the gate to
the Spirit World... Watch me!
**[13:05] ---**
Stop it!
**[13:06] ---**
Gate of the Lion, I open thee!
**[13:08] ---**
Open!
**[13:10] ---**
It won't open!
**[13:12] ---**
Spirits who let their contracted owner
die can't go back to the Spirit World!
**[13:19] ---**
Please, stop!
**[13:20] ---**
You're starting to erode along with me!
**[13:23] ---**
At this rate you'll disappear when I do!
**[13:26] ---**
You won't die!
**[13:27] ---**
I won't let you die...
**[13:29] ---**
What's the point of magic to begin with
if I can't use it protect my friends?
**[13:35] ---**
Stop it!
**[13:37] ---**
Don't make my crime any
worse than it already is!
**[13:41] ---**
What crime?!
**[13:42] ---**
If that's the rule of the Spirit
World, then I'll change it!
**[14:08] ---**
What's that?
**[14:10] ---**
It can't be...
**[14:11] ---**
That's the...
**[14:13] ---**
...Spirit King?
**[14:17] ---**
Why are you here?
**[14:20] ---**
The King? You mean the ruler of the Spirits?
**[14:24] ---**
Old friend.
**[14:27] ---**
It is forbidden for we who have compacted with
humans to kill the one who possesses the key.
**[14:39] ---**
It matters not if it was direct or indirect.
**[14:44] ---**
Leo the Lion, you are no longer allowed
to return to the Spirit World.
**[14:50] ---**
Hey, that's going too far!
**[14:53] ---**
Don't, Lucy!
**[14:55] ---**
Old friend... Human girl...
**[14:59] ---**
That law shall not be changed.
**[15:03] ---**
Wait, did he show himself because Lucy
blurted out that she'd change the rule?
**[15:09] ---**
Just for that, the King came himself?
**[15:12] ---**
For three years... Loke's been
suffering for three years!
**[15:16] ---**
For his friend! For Aries!
**[15:19] ---**
What else could he do?
**[15:22] ---**
I too am pained by my old friend's wish...
**[15:28] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[15:30] ---**
He's not your "old" friend!
**[15:32] ---**
He's your friend, right now, before your eyes!
**[15:36] ---**
Listen to me, Mustache Man!
**[15:39] ---**
Mustache?
**[15:41] ---**
L-Lucy...
**[15:42] ---**
This was an unfortunate accident.
**[15:44] ---**
Loke didn't do anything wrong!
**[15:47] ---**
I won't accept anything but
his complete innocence!
**[15:49] ---**
I won't accept it!
**[15:53] ---**
Enough, Lucy...
**[15:55] ---**
I don't want anybody to forgive me...
**[15:59] ---**
I want to repent for my sins!
**[16:01] ---**
I just want to disappear!
**[16:07] ---**
You can't!
**[16:11] ---**
You disappearing isn't
going to bring Karen back!
**[16:15] ---**
All it will do is create more sadness!
**[16:20] ---**
It's not a crime!
**[16:22] ---**
Caring about your friends is not a crime!
**[16:26] ---**
This many spirits... All at once...
**[16:29] ---**
Even Karen couldn't do this...
**[16:32] ---**
If you disappear, then Aries, myself, and
everyone else here will be filled with sadness!
**[16:41] ---**
You won't be repenting for
your sins at all that way!
**[16:54] ---**
Lucy!
**[16:59] ---**
All my friends came forward to
show that they feel the same way.
**[17:05] ---**
Your friends?
**[17:06] ---**
If you're a spirit too, then you
should know how Loke and Aries felt!
**[17:12] ---**
Lucy, why are you forcing yourself like this?
**[17:16] ---**
You want to follow in Karen's footsteps?
**[17:21] ---**
If my old friend goes so far as to say that...
**[17:26] ---**
Perhaps it is the law that is in error.
**[17:32] ---**
Leo, who committed the crime
for his brethren Aries.
**[17:36] ---**
And you, old friend, who
tried to save that Leo...
**[17:41] ---**
Considering the beauty of that bond, I
will make an exception for this incident.
**[17:47] ---**
Leo, I give thee warrant to
return to the Spirit World.
**[17:56] ---**
You ain't so bad, Mustache Man!
**[18:02] ---**
You are pardoned.
**[18:04] ---**
Be grateful to the star's guidance.
**[18:08] ---**
Wait, please...
**[18:10] ---**
I...
**[18:12] ---**
If you still wish to repent for your sins,
I order you to aid your friend and live on.
**[18:25] ---**
I believe her to be a friend of such worth.
**[18:29] ---**
You should protect her with your life.
**[18:42] ---**
You heard the man.
**[18:57] ---**
Lucy...
**[19:00] ---**
Yeah.
**[19:02] ---**
Thank you, Lucy...
**[19:13] ---**
A spirit?
**[19:14] ---**
You're a spirit, Loke?
**[19:16] ---**
Yup, that's the deal.
**[19:18] ---**
So that weird feeling when we switched
places that time was from that!
**[19:23] ---**
Yup, that's what it was.
**[19:24] ---**
I didn't notice at all!
**[19:27] ---**
But wait... You're not a
cow or a horse or nothin'.
**[19:30] ---**
You know Virgo, Natsu. She
has a human form, remember?
**[19:34] ---**
Yeah, but she can turn into a gorilla.
**[19:36] ---**
Oh, yeah. That's true.
**[19:38] ---**
Loke's the Lion Spirit.
**[19:40] ---**
Lion?!
**[19:41] ---**
A grown-up cat!
**[19:43] ---**
That's right.
**[19:44] ---**
No, it's not!
**[19:46] ---**
Cool...
**[19:48] ---**
But are you feeling okay?
**[19:51] ---**
I'm not 100% yet, but I figured
I'd come to say hi to everyone.
**[19:55] ---**
And I wanted to see Lucy
again as soon as possible.
**[19:59] ---**
He lllllikes you!
**[20:01] ---**
Stop rolling your tongue!
**[20:02] ---**
So let's talk, you and I, about the future!
**[20:06] ---**
Hey, now!
**[20:07] ---**
Man, I'm jealous.
**[20:08] ---**
I wish I had a spirit.
**[20:10] ---**
What kind of spirit?
**[20:11] ---**
A dragon, duh!
**[20:13] ---**
Then I could test out my
Dragon Slayer magic for real!
**[20:16] ---**
Spirits aren't things you
summon to test your strength!
**[20:20] ---**
That's right.
**[20:21] ---**
Spirits are for spinning tales of love...
**[20:22] ---**
You, go back already...
**[20:24] ---**
You're still not fully recovered, right?
**[20:27] ---**
Wait a second.
**[20:29] ---**
Here!
**[20:30] ---**
What are these?
**[20:31] ---**
Tickets for a resort hotel.
**[20:34] ---**
You guys really helped me out a lot.
**[20:36] ---**
Fish!
**[20:36] ---**
I've never stayed at a hotel as fancy as that!
**[20:39] ---**
I already gave Erza hers, so please have fun.
**[20:43] ---**
Hey, people!
**[20:44] ---**
What are you standing around for?
**[20:46] ---**
Want me to leave you behind?
**[20:47] ---**
Now that's fast!
**[20:49] ---**
Yeah, let's go!
**[20:50] ---**
I'll head off just like this!
**[20:52] ---**
Me, too!
**[20:53] ---**
Idiot, I have to pack for a
trip a little, so hold up.
**[20:54] ---**
Lucy...
**[20:56] ---**
It's not like my sins have
completely disappeared,
**[20:59] ---**
but you've given me the
confidence now to move on.
**[21:03] ---**
Where once I was a member of Fairy
Tail, now I am your spirit, Lucy.
**[21:09] ---**
I'll show up whenever my owner's in trouble.
**[21:12] ---**
Think of me as your prince on a white horse.
**[21:16] ---**
I'm not your owner.
**[21:18] ---**
I'm your friend, right?
**[21:20] ---**
That's right.
**[21:22] ---**
From now on, let's count on each other, Lucy.
**[21:25] ---**
Same to you, Loke!
**[21:31] ---**
Lucy, we're leaving.
**[21:33] ---**
So, Erza...
**[21:35] ---**
If...
**[21:37] ---**
If someone here was hurt or lost their life
because of me, I think I'd suffer a lot like Loke.
**[21:48] ---**
But, it's okay.
**[21:50] ---**
Because if we all work together, we can
overcome any trouble we might have, right?
**[21:55] ---**
You couldn't have said it better.
**[21:57] ---**
Yeah!
**[21:59] ---**
Hey, let's hurry and go!
**[22:01] ---**
Aye, sir!
**[22:02] ---**
Let's party all day and night, non-stop!
**[22:05] ---**
It's a favor from Loke, so we're
going to have lots of fun!
**[22:09] ---**
Aye, sir!
**[22:12] ---**
There was no way I could have
known that before long,
**[22:20] ---**
Erza's smile would disappear...
**[23:56] ---**
Hey, hey, Natsu!
**[23:57] ---**
I'm going to head out for a bit!
**[23:59] ---**
Upa!
**[23:59] ---**
Wow, you're really rarin' to go.
**[24:02] ---**
Where are you going?
**[24:03] ---**
Aye! I'm going to Heaven on earth!
**[24:05] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[24:06] ---**
Did you hit your head or something?
**[24:07] ---**
You'll know if you come with me.
**[24:10] ---**
What's with you? You're creepin' me out...
**[24:13] ---**
Next time: Tower of Heaven!
**[24:16] ---**
Huh? A fish restaurant?
**[24:19] ---**
This is my paradise!
**[24:21] ---**
Happy, don't leave me!
**[24:24] ---**
