**[00:06] ---**
Christina DX, heading out!
**[00:08] ---**
All right! Come get us, Acnologia!
**[00:16] ---**
This spell we're under
**[00:17] ---**
is the real deal, I'm watching closely
**[00:20] ---**
Oh, I wonder if we can change
this shattered world
**[00:36] ---**
Let's keep on journeying and
picking up the pieces, every last one
**[00:40] ---**
Oh, if we can reach beyond
the shattered tears
**[00:46] ---**
You think other people are
impossible to understand
**[00:48] ---**
I'm gonna take away that sad notion
**[00:54] ---**
Let's begin
**[00:56] ---**
I just can't let it go
**[01:00] ---**
because it's just too sad
**[01:05] ---**
Your words, more than anyone else's
**[01:10] ---**
Your answers, more than anything else
**[01:14] ---**
are what I want to know
**[01:16] ---**
I want to keep shaking them up
**[01:18] ---**
Even if now isn't the time
**[01:24] ---**
My words, more than anyone else's
**[01:29] ---**
My answers, more than anything else
**[01:33] ---**
are what I want to give
**[01:35] ---**
So hear them and know
**[01:37] ---**
I want to see the same things as you
**[01:51] ---**
Captain. This way.
**[01:54] ---**
Mm.
**[01:55] ---**
Everyone. We'll explain on
the way to our destination.
**[02:00] ---**
Right. That should give us plenty of time.
**[02:05] ---**
Wh-Who exactly are you?
**[02:12] ---**
"Neo Eclipse"
**[02:15] ---**
Things are about to get bumpy, guys!
**[02:27] ---**
S-Sorry!
**[02:29] ---**
Uh, it was nothing...
**[02:34] ---**
Wendy...
**[02:37] ---**
This ship was actually built with
Dragon Slayers in mind.
**[02:43] ---**
Calm yourself and take a deep breath.
**[02:47] ---**
She knows Wendy?
**[02:54] ---**
See? You're just fine.
**[03:02] ---**
Perfect! Acnologia's following us!
**[03:06] ---**
Let's rile him up a bit.
**[03:08] ---**
Roger that!
**[03:09] ---**
Charging focused magic cannon Jupiter!
**[03:14] ---**
High-speed rotation!
**[03:16] ---**
Target locked!
**[03:21] ---**
Energy charge complete!
**[03:24] ---**
Fire!
**[03:31] ---**
Yes! Bulls-eye!
**[03:43] ---**
He ate it!
**[03:45] ---**
Uh-oh. Don't tell me he's immune to magic?!
**[03:48] ---**
Switch to physical ammunition!
**[03:50] ---**
I doubt they'll do much,
but chew on these 120mm rounds!
**[03:55] ---**
Assault Pegasus!
**[03:59] ---**
Do you truly believe
you can escape from me?!
**[04:05] ---**
He's sped up!
**[04:07] ---**
Let's show him what this ship can do!
**[04:09] ---**
Igniting magic boosters!
**[04:20] ---**
S-Sorry!
**[04:22] ---**
Y-You're...
**[04:24] ---**
Maintaining orientation!
**[04:28] ---**
Do you remember me?
**[04:31] ---**
Mrs. Anna, our teacher?!
**[04:34] ---**
Teacher?!
**[04:37] ---**
I am an ancestor of a close friend
of yours known as Lucy.
**[04:45] ---**
I don't understand at all.
**[04:47] ---**
I don't care who you are! But is it true
that you can defeat Acnologia?!
**[04:53] ---**
We mustn't get ahead of ourselves.
All things have their due time.
**[05:01] ---**
You've really grown, Wendy.
**[05:04] ---**
I'm... still a little confused...
**[05:10] ---**
It's all right.
**[05:12] ---**
I'm sorry about Grandeeney
and the other dragons.
**[05:18] ---**
But their efforts weren't in vain.
**[05:28] ---**
Four hundred years ago, I was the one
**[05:32] ---**
who taught Wendy, Natsu, and the others
about things like language and culture.
**[05:37] ---**
I passed through the Eclipse alongside
the Dragon Slayers and traveled to this era...
**[05:44] ---**
...to the year 777.
**[05:46] ---**
All for the purpose...
**[05:48] ---**
...of defeating Acnologia.
**[05:58] ---**
--Lucy?!
--Wh-Whoa! What's wrong?!
**[06:02] ---**
It's just...
**[06:04] ---**
Natsu's life is literally this one book?
**[06:08] ---**
How is that possible?
**[06:15] ---**
I mean, Natsu is just an ordinary boy.
**[06:20] ---**
So why...?!
**[06:32] ---**
Yes! Give me more, E.N.D.!
**[06:38] ---**
Break... Destroy me!
**[06:41] ---**
Destroy you...! Destroy me!
**[06:45] ---**
Talk right, Big Brother!
**[06:48] ---**
E.N.D.!
**[06:51] ---**
I'm Natsu!
**[06:59] ---**
Man!
**[07:02] ---**
Four hundred years ago, we had
absolutely no way to oppose Acnologia.
**[07:08] ---**
So the dragons decided to place
their hope in the future.
**[07:13] ---**
They would enter Dragon Slayers' bodies
and travel to the future--to this era.
**[07:20] ---**
Yes. Grandeeney told us about that.
**[07:23] ---**
She mentioned this era is filled with
the most magic power, I believe.
**[07:28] ---**
Yes. It's why we were able
to connect to this period in time.
**[07:34] ---**
Zeref created the gateway, and I opened it.
**[07:39] ---**
Zeref?!
**[07:40] ---**
He was constantly studying how time works.
**[07:45] ---**
Even so, his wish of traveling
to the past remained out of his reach.
**[07:52] ---**
But, I think he still had hope
for the future back then.
**[07:58] ---**
It was Layla Heartfilia
who connected us to this era.
**[08:03] ---**
I opened the entrance,
and she opened the exit.
**[08:08] ---**
Lucy's mother?!
**[08:11] ---**
I originally came to explain the situation
to the person at the exit
**[08:16] ---**
and to bring you here and raise you.
**[08:20] ---**
To raise us?
**[08:23] ---**
You were still children, after all.
**[08:28] ---**
But an unforeseen accident flung you
all through the gate in different directions.
**[08:35] ---**
Natsu, Gajeel, Wendy, Sting, Rogue...
**[08:41] ---**
It took five years to find all of you.
**[08:47] ---**
But when I saw the lives you'd found
for yourselves in this era,
**[08:52] ---**
I decided it wasn't time to contact you yet.
**[08:55] ---**
All things have their due time, after all.
**[09:00] ---**
While searching for everyone,
I made an extraordinary discovery.
**[09:06] ---**
I don't know if it was caused by
the Eclipse accident or something else,
**[09:11] ---**
but something new had come into existence.
**[09:16] ---**
I stayed behind the scenes all this time
so I could investigate and prepare for it.
**[09:23] ---**
This "thing" possesses
tremendous, dangerous power.
**[09:27] ---**
No, it's more of a concept than power.
**[09:33] ---**
Just what is this tremendous
"thing" you discovered?
**[09:38] ---**
A rift in time.
**[09:41] ---**
Rift in time...?
**[09:43] ---**
Yes.
**[09:45] ---**
It's our only hope of trapping Acnologia
and returning him to nothingness.
**[10:01] ---**
An eclipse?
**[10:03] ---**
Talk about ominous-looking.
**[10:05] ---**
Look, Mommy!
**[10:07] ---**
The Ryuzetsu Land
amusement park is about to open!
**[10:14] ---**
Wow! Shooting stars!
**[10:17] ---**
How odd. Shooting stars
usually streak downward.
**[10:24] ---**
Look! There's five!
**[10:27] ---**
Now then, Princess.
Let us go look for His Majesty.
**[10:31] ---**
I wonder where he went!
**[10:43] ---**
My royal family has watched
this gate for generations.
**[10:47] ---**
Finally, someone arrives
to open it, and now...
**[10:54] ---**
...someone else has come through the gate!
**[11:02] ---**
Where...?
**[11:04] ---**
Wh-What year is it now?
**[11:09] ---**
777.
**[11:12] ---**
Four hundred years in the future...
**[11:16] ---**
It worked.
**[11:20] ---**
The children!
**[11:21] ---**
Five children should've come through with me!
**[11:26] ---**
I'm not sure if they were children,
**[11:29] ---**
but several lights flew outside
when the gate opened.
**[11:35] ---**
See?
**[11:37] ---**
They shot right through the ceiling.
**[11:49] ---**
So the gate really did
"connect time" after all.
**[11:53] ---**
Thank you for opening it.
You have my gratitude.
**[11:58] ---**
"To the one of a grand era, rich in magic.
**[12:02] ---**
When the sun and moon cross,
use the 12 keys to open the gate."
**[12:10] ---**
I was a bit skeptical,
but this book had been passed down
**[12:13] ---**
by my mother, her mother,
and many generations before them.
**[12:17] ---**
I'm the one who wrote it.
**[12:20] ---**
Wait a moment. I don't understand at all!
**[12:25] ---**
To connect our time periods,
**[12:27] ---**
I needed someone to open
the gate in this era.
**[12:31] ---**
I need to write a book
saying I'm going to the future!
**[12:35] ---**
Got it!
**[12:39] ---**
I'll pass it on!
**[12:42] ---**
What is this book?
What does "connecting time" mean?
**[12:47] ---**
I don't really understand, but I hafta
pass this on to the next generation.
**[12:53] ---**
It's finally time. I'll open the exit!
**[12:58] ---**
My descendants passed on
the secret for generations
**[13:02] ---**
until Layla opened the gate for me in this era.
**[13:06] ---**
In other words, you're from 400 years ago?!
**[13:10] ---**
That's right.
**[13:12] ---**
But why did you need to travel to this era?
The book doesn't mention the reason.
**[13:18] ---**
I can't say just yet.
**[13:21] ---**
But I promise I will, when the time comes.
**[13:24] ---**
Okay.
**[13:25] ---**
Why were you the one
to finally open the gate, Lady Layla?
**[13:29] ---**
Was it because you knew magic
is especially strong in this era?
**[13:34] ---**
To be honest, I'm not sure. It's not
really something you can count, after all.
**[13:40] ---**
I just "felt" it was time.
**[13:43] ---**
Plus, to be fully honest,
**[13:47] ---**
I didn't want to pass this burden
on to my daughter Lucy.
**[13:55] ---**
I want her to live freely.
**[13:58] ---**
So I felt I should end it here, at my generation.
**[14:02] ---**
It was because this era is rich
with magic power that the gate opened.
**[14:07] ---**
Your judgment was correct.
**[14:10] ---**
I burdened you all so much.
**[14:14] ---**
Your mother, and all those before her...
**[14:18] ---**
I thank you all for your hard work.
**[14:21] ---**
You're welcome.
**[14:24] ---**
Humankind and civilization
still exist 400 years in the future.
**[14:29] ---**
Just knowing this world
exists fills with me with happiness.
**[14:35] ---**
But...
**[14:37] ---**
This might also mean everything
I've done was for nothing.
**[14:42] ---**
If Acnologia isn't a threat in this era, then...
**[14:47] ---**
No. I need to keep moving
forward, no matter what.
**[14:53] ---**
I'll take over from here.
**[14:56] ---**
Go live happily with your family.
**[14:59] ---**
All right...
**[15:03] ---**
Can I ask what you're going to do now?
**[15:07] ---**
All things have their due time.
**[15:11] ---**
I'll first need to find the missing children.
**[15:16] ---**
I'll see you again,
when everything can be revealed.
**[15:18] ---**
Yes... I'll keep this entire incident a secret.
**[15:24] ---**
Your Majesty.
**[15:26] ---**
Could you destroy the gate for me?
**[15:29] ---**
Hmm? Mm...
**[15:39] ---**
Layla passed away after that,
before we could see each other again.
**[15:47] ---**
Teacher...
**[15:50] ---**
The news of her death shook me deeply.
**[15:56] ---**
She was my descendant.
She was precious to me.
**[16:01] ---**
She was such a gifted celestial
spirit wizard with a future ahead of her,
**[16:05] ---**
but she willingly shortened
her life for my plan.
**[16:17] ---**
The time has come...
**[16:23] ---**
Is there anything else you can share?
**[16:27] ---**
Right.
**[16:30] ---**
I noticed something
unusual almost immediately:
**[16:33] ---**
there is an abnormal type
of magic that flows in this era.
**[16:38] ---**
This abnormal magic has no basic elements,
nor is it made of light or darkness.
**[16:44] ---**
It's simply "nothingness."
**[16:46] ---**
Nothingness?
**[16:48] ---**
Yes.
**[16:50] ---**
It's a type of magic that shouldn't exist
in this era, I suppose you could say.
**[16:55] ---**
I went to investigate.
**[16:58] ---**
And then...
**[17:01] ---**
...that's when I found it.
**[17:05] ---**
The rift in time.
**[17:14] ---**
By traveling 400 years into the future,
**[17:19] ---**
I believe we caused the natural
flow of time to warp slightly.
**[17:24] ---**
Perhaps it's the very concept
of time correcting itself...
**[17:30] ---**
...thus giving rise to a power
beyond our comprehension.
**[17:35] ---**
Inside the time rift is literal nothingness.
**[17:39] ---**
Nothing can live in it. Nothing can exist in it.
**[17:42] ---**
Not even Acnologia.
**[17:45] ---**
So you're trying to lure Acnologia
there and trap him in it?
**[17:49] ---**
Yes.
**[17:51] ---**
This is all so hard to believe!
**[17:55] ---**
Even after all these years, not a single
other person ever found this time rift?
**[18:01] ---**
I kept it hidden.
**[18:03] ---**
Is this place really a rift in time?
**[18:09] ---**
The Eclipse opened a year ago,
during the Grand Magic Games.
**[18:13] ---**
The hole reacted intensely to it.
There's no question about it.
**[18:18] ---**
Hole?
**[18:19] ---**
Indeed. It's normally invisible.
**[18:24] ---**
It's about the size of this orange.
**[18:27] ---**
But if you accidentally touch it,
you're done for. You'll be stuck forever.
**[18:32] ---**
The plan is extremely simple!
**[18:35] ---**
--Hibiki. If you would.
--Right!
**[18:39] ---**
We'll go around the time rift
and then wait for Acnologia.
**[18:45] ---**
When he comes straight for us,
he'll touch the rift...
**[18:49] ---**
...and go poof, man.
**[18:52] ---**
Are you sure it'll be that easy?
**[18:55] ---**
It's our only option.
**[19:00] ---**
You okay, Lucy?
**[19:02] ---**
Yeah... Thanks. Sorry.
**[19:06] ---**
You're not gonna talk about destroying
this book anymore, I hope?
**[19:11] ---**
Of course I won't.
**[19:13] ---**
I just... didn't know it was
Natsu's book before.
**[19:17] ---**
Hey. Can you try opening the book?
**[19:24] ---**
I think I'm starting to understand
what our First Master was saying earlier.
**[19:32] ---**
Only one thing will be
able to save Natsu then:
**[19:35] ---**
the strength of his friends--you.
**[19:41] ---**
What worries me is Zeref's--
**[19:45] ---**
What I seek isn't something
as insignificant as that.
**[19:51] ---**
What is it, Gray?
**[19:53] ---**
Nothing...
**[19:55] ---**
No, Zeref won't get his wish.
Natsu will make sure of it!
**[20:00] ---**
Let's open it.
**[20:05] ---**
Mm!
**[20:12] ---**
Done already, E.N.D.?
**[20:15] ---**
You disappoint me!
**[20:17] ---**
I was so sure that you,
if anyone, could destroy me!
**[20:24] ---**
It's okay... I can go back to normal...
**[20:28] ---**
With Mavis' power, I can go back
to my original self...
**[20:35] ---**
The Neo Eclipse.
**[20:41] ---**
I won't go forward or backward in time.
**[20:43] ---**
I'm going to start over.
**[20:46] ---**
I'm going to reset time...
**[20:49] ---**
...to before I turned immortal.
**[20:53] ---**
So that's... been your real goal... all along?!
**[21:00] ---**
No one will be hurt.
**[21:01] ---**
You can be human again.
**[21:04] ---**
We can even kill Acnologia.
**[21:07] ---**
There's no happier ending than this!
**[21:10] ---**
Tell me, then!
**[21:12] ---**
What'll happen to us?! To everyone?!
**[21:17] ---**
How would I know?
This isn't my world anymore.
**[21:23] ---**
We're already trying as hard
as we can to live in this world!
**[21:29] ---**
There are two keys to the Neo Eclipse.
**[21:33] ---**
One is Mavis.
**[21:36] ---**
She's on her way here as we speak.
**[21:41] ---**
And the other key is...
**[21:45] ---**
...the rift in time.
**[22:01] ---**
At the top of this hill,
you can look down at the city
**[22:08] ---**
I'm sure the person you want to see
is doing the same
**[22:16] ---**
I still remember what you said that day
**[22:23] ---**
"I'm fighting for someone."
**[22:31] ---**
You even have wounds that will never heal
**[22:34] ---**
So you lament that
we'll never understand each other
**[22:38] ---**
and put on such a sad smile
**[22:41] ---**
I'll take you to a place where you can fly
as far and as long as you want
**[22:50] ---**
So don't let go of me
**[22:57] ---**
If we can accept everything
and reach that place
**[23:05] ---**
then I just know we'll be unbeatable
**[23:20] ---**
Acnologia spreads despair
and wreaks absolute destruction.
**[23:25] ---**
Erza and company hurry to the time rift
to neutralize the threat he poses.
**[23:30] ---**
Elsewhere, in Magnolia, Lucy and friends
prepare to open the Book of E.N.D.
**[23:36] ---**
Meanwhile, Zeref quietly smiles
as his plan to reset time moves forward.
**[23:42] ---**
Next Episode: "Blind to Love."
**[23:43] ---**
"Blind to Love"
**[23:45] ---**
Abiding feelings are ensnared
by the pure darkness.
