[00:18] ---
    Ahh, the pain is fading.
[00:25] ---
    A superb patch-up job as always, Doctor.
[00:29] ---
    I am truly glad that there are humans
    as understanding as you are.
[00:35] ---
    No, you give me too much credit.
    I can't even heal your wounds.
[00:40] ---
    The most I can do is stop the bleeding.
[00:43] ---
    This hidden land is blessed
    with the dragons' protection.
[00:46] ---
    Despite some differences of opinion,
[00:48] ---
    you are our divine guardian, Acnologia.
[01:08] ---
    Doctor.
[01:09] ---
    During my travels,
    I heard a most ominous rumor.
[01:13] ---
    They say a type of "dragon killing" magic
    has emerged on the western continent.
[01:18] ---
    Needless fighting and horrific
    slaughter lie ahead of us.
[01:23] ---
    I can feel it in my scales.
[01:25] ---
    Humans standing up to dragons?
[01:28] ---
    Is... that even possible?
[01:32] ---
    It does sound foolish.
[01:34] ---
    But we cannot ignore the existence
    of this "dragon killing" magic.
[01:38] ---
    It would be impossible for me to protect
    you against such terrifying sorcery.
[01:46] ---
    If only I had more magic power...
[01:50] ---
    If only I were stronger...
[01:54] ---
    What matters most is heart, not strength.
[02:00] ---
    Doctor. I intend to head west to see
    if this magic for destroying dragons is real.
[02:08] ---
    Should it pose a threat to lands like ours
    in which dragons and humans can coexist,
[02:16] ---
    then this land risks being
    caught in the storm, too.
[02:25] ---
    Please be careful, Acnologia...
[02:28] ---
    ...our divine guardian.
[02:32] ---
    The idea of people fighting dragons...
[02:36] ---
    Magic that can destroy dragons...
[02:39] ---
    Dragon Slayer magic.
[02:43] ---
    Acnologia...
[02:45] ---
    I have a very bad feeling about this.
[02:48] ---
    I'm...
[02:52] ---
    I'm not strong enough...
[03:19] ---
    Acnologia returned some time later...
[03:21] ---
    ...to destroy us.
[03:26] ---
    This spell we're under
[03:28] ---
    is the real deal, I'm watching closely
[03:30] ---
    Oh, I wonder if we can change
    this shattered world
[03:46] ---
    Let's keep on journeying and
    picking up the pieces, every last one
[03:50] ---
    Oh, if we can reach beyond
    the shattered tears
[03:56] ---
    You think other people are
    impossible to understand
[03:59] ---
    I'm gonna take away that sad notion
[04:05] ---
    Let's begin
[04:06] ---
    I just can't let it go
[04:10] ---
    because it's just too sad
[04:15] ---
    Your words, more than anyone else's
[04:20] ---
    Your answers, more than anything else
[04:24] ---
    are what I want to know
[04:26] ---
    I want to keep shaking them up
[04:28] ---
    Even if now isn't the time
[04:34] ---
    My words, more than anyone else's
[04:39] ---
    My answers, more than anything else
[04:43] ---
    are what I want to give
[04:45] ---
    So hear them and know
[04:47] ---
    I want to see the same things as you
[05:15] ---
    "Magic of Hope"
[05:18] ---
    Let's do it!
[05:19] ---
    Yeah!
[05:20] ---
    Can you hear me, Cobra?!
[05:22] ---
    Yep, loud and clear!
[05:25] ---
    All physical abilities up!
[05:28] ---
    Deus Eques!
[05:30] ---
    Whoa! This is great!
[05:32] ---
    I'm brimming with power!
[05:34] ---
    Never underestimate our pipsqueak!
[05:38] ---
    Iron Dragon Sword!
[05:50] ---
    Poison Dragon...
[05:52] ---
    Thunder Dragon...
[05:55] ---
    Fire Dragon...
[06:01] ---
    Laxus! Cobra!
[06:03] ---
    What?! This guy's mind...!
[06:06] ---
    I can't hear it!
[06:08] ---
    Natsu! Dodge!
[06:23] ---
    Damn...
[06:25] ---
    This guy...!
[06:27] ---
    I knew he'd be tough, but...
[06:29] ---
    This is rough, right off the bat.
[06:31] ---
    He hasn't even taken a single step.
[06:34] ---
    So this is the Dragon King...
[06:41] ---
    Do you know why I am
    called the Dragon King?
[06:44] ---
    Because I'm the most powerful
    being in the world, naturally!
[06:53] ---
    I'll get right to the point.
[06:55] ---
    With the Dragon Slayers
    stuck inside the time rift,
[07:00] ---
    we have no way of
    defeating the dragon now.
[07:05] ---
    Yeah.
[07:06] ---
    This is bad!
[07:08] ---
    Even so...
[07:10] ---
    We can't simply ignore it.
[07:15] ---
    Even if we can't beat it, we can
    at least immobilize it or something.
[07:20] ---
    That's right! You could
    freeze it with your ice!
[07:24] ---
    Magic literally has no effect on him.
[07:28] ---
    Magic won't work? But wizards
    are all we got here...
[07:33] ---
    What about a sword or something
    else physical? Would that work?
[07:36] ---
    If it were that easy to kill a dragon,
    this would already be over and done with.
[07:41] ---
    That only happens in bedtime stories, yes!
[07:44] ---
    Is it worth a try?
[07:47] ---
    No, a sword wouldn't work. Unless it was
    imbued with Dragon Slayer power.
[07:53] ---
    If only Wendy were here...
[07:56] ---
    Damn. We've got nothing.
[08:01] ---
    What is it, Lu?
[08:05] ---
    There might be one way, actually.
[08:30] ---
    It's Acnologia! He's here!
[08:38] ---
    He's just attacking everything in sight.
[08:41] ---
    This is bad! We gotta leave!
[08:44] ---
    Lucy! What's this plan of yours?!
[08:46] ---
    We need some people to hurry to the port
    in Hargeon and get a big ship ready!
[08:52] ---
    A ship?
[08:53] ---
    What for?!
[08:55] ---
    Oh!
[08:56] ---
    The Dragon Slayers' weakness!
[08:58] ---
    We're gonna get Acnologia onto a ship?!
[09:01] ---
    Oh, yeah. Vehicles make 'em sick.
[09:03] ---
    Vehicles affect every Dragon Slayer, yes!
[09:07] ---
    I guess that is our only option,
    seeing as swords and magic won't work.
[09:11] ---
    But that plan'll just make him go
    "blergh" for a little bit.
[09:18] ---
    That'll be our one chance...
[09:21] ---
    ...to use the spell!
[09:26] ---
    You said magic won't work!
[09:28] ---
    But there is one spell that might!
[09:32] ---
    Levy! Fried! Come with me!
[09:35] ---
    We'll search the guild's library for the spell!
[09:38] ---
    Happy! You three will stay
    and help us catch up afterward!
[09:41] ---
    Aye.
[09:42] ---
    Everyone else will split into two teams.
    One will head to Hargeon first.
[09:46] ---
    The other team will lead
    Acnologia there. It'll be dangerous.
[09:52] ---
    Also, we'll need as many Fairy Tail members
    to gather in Hargeon as possible.
[09:58] ---
    In that case, leave the luring to us.
[10:03] ---
    What exactly is this spell, Lady Lucy?
[10:07] ---
    It's the one spell that not even Acnologia
    could break: one of close personal bonds.
[10:20] ---
    The First Master's spell...
[10:22] ---
    The one that saved us on Tenrou Island...
[10:26] ---
    That absolute protection spell...
[10:30] ---
    One of Fairy Tail's Three
    Grand Spells: Fairy Sphere!
[10:35] ---
    Sure, it's true he couldn't overcome it,
    but that's a defensive spell...
[10:41] ---
    Are you saying--?!
[10:44] ---
    --We're going to trap Acnologia...
    --...inside the Fairy Sphere?!
[10:49] ---
    That'll never work--!
[10:51] ---
    It's all we have.
[10:54] ---
    This is our last shot.
[10:57] ---
    It's all or nothing!
[11:03] ---
    Literally, as we speak...
[11:05] ---
    ...my flesh is outside the time rift,
    bringing about the end of the world.
[11:12] ---
    What?
[11:14] ---
    I will destroy and usher in the end of all.
[11:20] ---
    What is it you want?
[11:25] ---
    Destruction. That's all.
[11:38] ---
    Hate to break it to you, but...
[11:42] ---
    This world ain't that weak! It'd take more
    than that pathetic reason to destroy it!
[11:59] ---
    Gray! Juvia!
[12:01] ---
    And...?
[12:02] ---
    Mest.
[12:03] ---
    Man, can't you just bring us all at once?!
[12:06] ---
    Easy for you to say.
[12:07] ---
    He can only teleport a couple
    people this far at a time!
[12:11] ---
    A couple... like you and me!
[12:15] ---
    Yep! She's too cute!
[12:17] ---
    Err, I mean...
[12:19] ---
    I was told the fighting was over.
[12:22] ---
    Not yet.
[12:24] ---
    Acnologia's headed this way.
[12:28] ---
    A ship!
[12:30] ---
    Please get a big ship ready!
[12:33] ---
    Hurry to Hargeon!
[12:35] ---
    What's keeping the Mest Express?!
[12:36] ---
    Don't be like that!
[12:38] ---
    We're counting on you, Minerva Team!
[12:44] ---
    So that's...
[12:45] ---
    ...the Arcane Dragon, Acnologia, yes!
[12:47] ---
    Now, then. How to lead him there...
[12:51] ---
    What is this magic power?!
[12:53] ---
    I-I've no memory of such power...
[12:56] ---
    Even so, we must do this.
[12:58] ---
    But of course!
[12:59] ---
    I think so, too!
[13:04] ---
    No, it's not here!
[13:06] ---
    No luck here, either!
[13:08] ---
    Master! Are you certain this book exists?!
[13:11] ---
    From what the First Master told me, yes.
[13:14] ---
    Then it has to be here! Let's look harder!
[13:17] ---
    Yeah!
[13:19] ---
    We have to find out how to cast
    Fairy Sphere, no matter what!
[13:41] ---
    Curse him...
[13:43] ---
    Attacks have no effect whatsoever.
[13:45] ---
    So this is what it means
    to have no magic type!
[13:48] ---
    He has no likes or dislikes, yes!
[13:51] ---
    The bigger problem is:
    how do we get him to follow us?!
[13:55] ---
    We can't even tell where he's aiming.
[13:58] ---
    He's attacking at random...
[14:00] ---
    It's almost like he's turned mindless.
[14:07] ---
    Fairy Tail is that way!
[14:09] ---
    Happy!
[14:21] ---
    It's okay! The attack didn't reach down here!
[14:27] ---
    This is bad.
[14:29] ---
    We can't let him tear
    Magnolia apart any further.
[14:33] ---
    I got this, M'lady!
[14:35] ---
    Hey! Acnologia!
[14:39] ---
    Over here! Come and get me!
[14:42] ---
    Hey! What are you, deaf?!
[14:47] ---
    Damn! I guess words don't work, either!
[14:51] ---
    Say, if Acnologia's mind is gone,
    then why did he come to Magnolia?
[14:56] ---
    Indeed, he'd have no reason to do so.
    What's driving him, then?
[15:00] ---
    Instinct.
[15:02] ---
    He's come here to destroy our
    group of wizards on instinct alone!
[15:06] ---
    So maybe the stronger the magic power...
[15:09] ---
    ...the more he'll follow?
[15:20] ---
    Sting!
[15:21] ---
    Natsu!
[15:34] ---
    Natsu!
[15:56] ---
    Laxus!
[15:57] ---
    Not too shabby!
[15:59] ---
    He's incredible!
[16:01] ---
    Now we're talkin'!
[16:04] ---
    Did he get him?
[16:05] ---
    No, wait!
[16:13] ---
    Bastard...
[16:20] ---
    Magic has no effect on me.
[16:28] ---
    So...
[16:30] ---
    This is the biggest ship, huh?
[16:32] ---
    The Alvarez Army left it behind.
[16:35] ---
    Still...
[16:37] ---
    How are we going to get Acnologia onto it?
[16:41] ---
    I'll knock him out of the air.
[16:44] ---
    Everyone!
[16:46] ---
    You made it!
[16:48] ---
    Yet another crazy idea...
[16:51] ---
    Even if we can't damage him with magic,
[16:54] ---
    maybe we can bash him around
    with physical attacks.
[16:57] ---
    I think I can do it.
[16:59] ---
    No, I will do it!
[17:02] ---
    There are still two big questions left, though.
[17:06] ---
    Can Minerva's team lead Acnologia here?
[17:11] ---
    And will Lucy's group make it in time?
[17:18] ---
    Is everyone all right?!
[17:19] ---
    Yes, by some miracle...
[17:21] ---
    I can't see! Who turned out the lights?!
[17:24] ---
    Are you okay, Master?!
[17:26] ---
    Mm...
[17:28] ---
    Wait, where's Lu?!
[17:37] ---
    This is it! I found it!
[17:41] ---
    This explains how to use Fairy Sphere!
[17:52] ---
    My innards... With just one hit...!
[17:58] ---
    Cobra!
[18:00] ---
    Not yet...!
[18:03] ---
    I can't kick the bucket just yet...
[18:07] ---
    Because...
[18:09] ---
    Because I have...
[18:12] ---
    ...friends of my own, too!
[18:15] ---
    And I'm willing to do whatever
    it takes to keep them safe!
[18:23] ---
    This way, Acnologia!
[18:25] ---
    Macbeth! Give off magic power, yes!
[18:31] ---
    This should get him to follow us!
[18:33] ---
    Yes!
[18:35] ---
    Sorano! We need to get to the next point!
[18:38] ---
    Full speed ahead, Sawyer!
[18:42] ---
    I'll never be able to look 'em in
    the face again unless we beat you!
[18:47] ---
    Everyone's waiting for us.
    Beating you is our only way back!
[18:52] ---
    This way, Acnologia!
[18:54] ---
    I've committed to memory
    that you follow magic power!
[19:01] ---
    We leave the rest to you!
[19:03] ---
    Let's go straight to Hargeon now!
[19:06] ---
    Right!
[19:07] ---
    I'll try hard!
[19:12] ---
    We won't let you slaughter
    the old man, our guild members...
[19:15] ---
    ...or anyone else!
[19:16] ---
    We'll destroy you before
    you can destroy us!
[19:22] ---
    The legends about you...
[19:24] ---
    ...end today!
[19:30] ---
    Get us to Hargeon, quick!
[19:31] ---
    Aye, Sir!
[19:33] ---
    Levy! Can you decipher it?!
[19:35] ---
    I think so!
[19:37] ---
    You can do it!
[19:38] ---
    We're counting on you!
[19:43] ---
    This is our final battle, Acnologia.
[19:47] ---
    Final?
[19:50] ---
    We haven't even started fighting yet.
    How can it be final?
[20:03] ---
    Here he comes!
[20:06] ---
    Acnologia...
[20:08] ---
    We need to buy time
    for Lucy's group to arrive!
[20:12] ---
    You guys prepare for the Fairy Sphere!
[20:15] ---
    Prepare how?
[20:21] ---
    We all need to hold hands.
[20:26] ---
    Well done, Minerva! Yukino!
[20:30] ---
    He follows strong magic power!
[20:33] ---
    Please use that to lead him to the ship!
[20:36] ---
    As for us...
[20:38] ---
    Sorry! We're out of magic power...!
[20:40] ---
    --Yes...
    --M-Me, too...
[20:43] ---
    We'll take it from here.
[20:47] ---
    Hey!
[20:51] ---
    Crap! He's about to attack!
[20:53] ---
    Everyone, get down!
[21:23] ---
    The ships...
[21:29] ---
    They've all been destroyed?!
[21:32] ---
    Oh, no...
[21:34] ---
    You gotta be kidding me.
[21:39] ---
    Instinct...
[21:41] ---
    He destroyed his weakness... on instinct.
[22:01] ---
    At the top of this hill,
    you can look down at the city
[22:09] ---
    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
[22:35] ---
    So you lament that
    we'll never understand each other
[22:39] ---
    and put on such a sad smile
[22:42] ---
    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
[23:21] ---
    In the blink of an eye, the Black Dragon
    obliterates the ships in Hargeon's port.
[23:26] ---
    Despite this, the wizards refuse to give up.
[23:29] ---
    Instead, they continue preparations
    for their final hope: Fairy Sphere.
[23:33] ---
    However, inside the time rift,
[23:34] ---
    the tenacious Acnologia becomes an
    even greater challenge for Natsu's group.
[23:40] ---
    Just how will their battle unfold?!
[23:43] ---
    Next Episode: "Hearts Connected."
[23:44] ---
    "Hearts Connected"
[23:45] ---
    The power of each and every one's
    feelings will bring tomorrow closer.
