**[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.
