[00:11] ---
    You can't end this on
    your own anymore, can you?
[00:18] ---
    I...
[00:19] ---
    ...can't move!
[00:28] ---
    Natsu!
[00:29] ---
    Hit him with...
[00:31] ---
    ...everything we got!
[00:32] ---
    Only you can do it!
[00:34] ---
    It's up to you!
[00:36] ---
    Natsu!
[00:37] ---
    Leave it to me!
[00:43] ---
    This is the end!
[01:42] ---
    I need more...
[01:45] ---
    More blood... More destruction...
[01:51] ---
    More tears...
[01:56] ---
    I...
[02:01] ---
    ...will destroy everything...
[02:07] ---
    ...and have--
[02:11] ---
    I...
[02:14] ---
    I will... have everything...!
[02:18] ---
    You can't have everything.
[02:23] ---
    Which is why you should
    treasure what you do have.
[02:30] ---
    Don't be greedy.
[02:31] ---
    In my case, as long as I have my friends,
    I don't need anything else.
[02:42] ---
    I see...
[02:45] ---
    You are indeed worthy of being king...
[02:52] ---
    I don't wanna be king of anything.
[03:00] ---
    --Acnologia just...
    --...shattered.
[03:04] ---
    The Fairy Sphere can do that?!
[03:07] ---
    No, it was because--!
[03:09] ---
    They did it!
[03:12] ---
    Yeah!
[03:14] ---
    Natsu and the others won!
[03:25] ---
    Manly!
[03:28] ---
    All right!
[04:21] ---
    Way to go!
[04:23] ---
    Sweet!
[04:26] ---
    Rogue! Rogue! Rogue!
[04:40] ---
    I'm back!
[04:43] ---
    Welcome home!
[04:44] ---
    All right! Let's get back to the guildhall!
[04:51] ---
    This day marked the end of an era.
[04:55] ---
    But, at the same time,
    it marked the beginning of a new one!
[05:02] ---
    This spell we're under
[05:04] ---
    is the real deal, I'm watching closely
[05:06] ---
    Oh, I wonder if we can change
    this shattered world
[05:22] ---
    Let's keep on journeying and
    picking up the pieces, every last one
[05:26] ---
    Oh, if we can reach beyond
    the shattered tears
[05:32] ---
    You think other people are
    impossible to understand
[05:35] ---
    I'm gonna take away that sad notion
[05:41] ---
    Let's begin
[05:42] ---
    I just can't let it go
[05:46] ---
    because it's just too sad
[05:51] ---
    Your words, more than anyone else's
[05:56] ---
    Your answers, more than anything else
[06:00] ---
    are what I want to know
[06:02] ---
    I want to keep shaking them up
[06:04] ---
    Even if now isn't the time
[06:10] ---
    My words, more than anyone else's
[06:15] ---
    My answers, more than anything else
[06:19] ---
    are what I want to give
[06:21] ---
    So hear them and know
[06:23] ---
    I want to see the same things as you
[06:33] ---
    793. One year after the battle...
[06:38] ---
    A lot has happened since then, but...
[06:41] ---
    And now for the winner of this year's
    Kemu Zaleon Award for Best New Writer...
[06:47] ---
    Lucy Heartfilia, with "The Adventure of Iris"!
[06:50] ---
    Fairy, where are you going?
[06:52] ---
    I'm going to gather up all
    the light and illuminate your tomorrow
[06:52] ---
    ...we're all doing great!
[06:57] ---
    Dearest Friends
[07:02] ---
    What a surprise! I'd heard that Iris,
    the main character, was based on the author...
[07:06] ---
    But to think that the author was
    such a beautiful woman herself!
[07:07] ---
    Oh yeah can you hear my voice?
[07:09] ---
    Indeed!
[07:11] ---
    Oh, don't you know? Ms. Lucy is
    a member of the Fairy Tail wizard guild.
[07:11] ---
    Oh yeah even if I go hoarse I'll keep shouting
[07:16] ---
    Oh yeah until your heart can hear it
[07:17] ---
    My stars!
[07:18] ---
    Ah...
[07:20] ---
    --Then...
    --Yes...
[07:20] ---
    Oh yeah Oh yeah
[07:22] ---
    That explains...
[07:24] ---
    ...why her friends are so rowdy.
[07:26] ---
    The moon and the sun high-five
[07:27] ---
    Oh, man! This meat is awesome!
[07:29] ---
    You're eating too much, Natsu!
[07:30] ---
    You haven't forgotten anything, have you?
[07:32] ---
    The fish is great, too!
[07:34] ---
    Stop that! Have some manners, Happy!
[07:35] ---
    It's strange, without you
[07:37] ---
    Hey! Don't strip in a place like this!
[07:39] ---
    I can't even find something to want
[07:40] ---
    Whoa, when did that happen?!
[07:42] ---
    My darling...!
[07:42] ---
    Snowing, I was able to open up and give a smile
[07:44] ---
    Time for booze!
[07:46] ---
    I wanna eat that!
[07:47] ---
    because we have time to
    snuggle up and be together
[07:47] ---
    You need some veggies, too...
[07:49] ---
    --I'm taking today off from work!
    --Just like every day!
[07:51] ---
    Fairy, where are you going?
[07:53] ---
    I'm going to gather up all
    the light and illuminate your tomorrow
[07:54] ---
    Manly!
[07:56] ---
    Hush!
[07:57] ---
    --This is tasty, top-quality iron.
    --You're not supposed to eat it...
[08:01] ---
    And it's not even iron.
[08:04] ---
    Our Lucy won Best New Writer!
[08:06] ---
    Don't say goodbye
[08:07] ---
    Heck yeah!
[08:10] ---
    Sheesh!
[08:11] ---
    You're embarrassing me! I agreed to invite you,
    but only if you behaved yourselves!
[08:16] ---
    --Can't!
    --Aye!
[08:19] ---
    Plus...
[08:20] ---
    You were supposed to dress up for this event.
[08:23] ---
    Like you're one to talk, jerk!
[08:25] ---
    --Say what?!
    --You pickin' a fight?!
[08:28] ---
    This is a happy occasion! No fighting!
[08:32] ---
    Well, in that case...
[08:34] ---
    ...I'll take my clothes off.
[08:36] ---
    Who gave her booze?!
[08:38] ---
    This is great! Give her some more!
[08:40] ---
    That's so manly of you, Juvia!
[08:43] ---
    Oh, jeez.
[08:44] ---
    Uhh, Big Brother Elf...
[08:48] ---
    Oh, man. My big award ceremony
    has turned into a big mess.
[08:55] ---
    Yes.
[08:56] ---
    A lot has happened, so I'll start with myself.
[08:59] ---
    To my surprise, the novel I'd written
    bit by bit won the Best New Writer award!
[09:06] ---
    The book didn't make me rich or anything,
    but it wasa dream come true for me!
[09:13] ---
    Lucy.
[09:14] ---
    Congratulations!
[09:16] ---
    Anna!
[09:17] ---
    Anna is still in this era.
[09:21] ---
    There's a proper order for
    the writer's life ahead of you.
[09:26] ---
    Meeting my own ancestor is kind of strange,
[09:30] ---
    but I visit her once in a while.
[09:32] ---
    She teaches at a school
    in a small village now!
[09:38] ---
    Oh, yeah!
[09:40] ---
    Lucy smells just like you! That's why
    I feel so nice and relaxed around you!
[09:45] ---
    I... smell?! Don't say that!
[09:47] ---
    You always did like Anna
    when she was our teacher.
[09:51] ---
    Yeah. So what?
[09:53] ---
    What do you mean, so what?!
[09:56] ---
    --Gajeel! Over here!
    --Oh, hey!
[09:59] ---
    Gajeel and Levy have grown really close.
[10:03] ---
    I almost feel envious of them!
[10:08] ---
    Did I... just hear the word "baby"...?
[10:13] ---
    M-Must've been my imagination.
[10:16] ---
    Oh! She has even better hearing than me!
[10:20] ---
    Wendy?
[10:21] ---
    --What's wrong?
    --N-Nothing!
[10:24] ---
    Wendy and Charle visit Lamia Scale often.
[10:29] ---
    Wendy was forced to be in this year's
    Lamia Scale Thanksgiving Festival, too.
[10:36] ---
    You better come again next year!
[10:38] ---
    Don't get ticked off.
[10:39] ---
    Visit again anytime.
[10:41] ---
    No one understands
    what goes through Toby's mind.
[10:47] ---
    Oh!
[10:48] ---
    Look, Wendy!
[10:50] ---
    That's amazing, Shelia!
[10:51] ---
    You did it!
[10:53] ---
    But don't rush. Take it slow and steady.
[10:56] ---
    Shelia can use a little bit of magic again.
[10:59] ---
    She tells me about it so happily!
[11:03] ---
    Speaking of the other guilds...
[11:07] ---
    Behold, my overwhelming victory.
[11:11] ---
    Minerva won Sabertooth's annual
    eating competition yet again.
[11:17] ---
    Sting! Say something!
[11:19] ---
    M'lady... Is just too powerful...
[11:22] ---
    I think so, too!
[11:24] ---
    Next year, I will win...
[11:26] ---
    Thirty more desserts, please.
[11:29] ---
    That's our Lady Minerva!
[11:31] ---
    Actually, she might be unbeatable...
[11:33] ---
    I agree, yes.
[11:35] ---
    I think so, too!
[11:37] ---
    As for Blue Pegasus, Ichiya was chosen
    as Most Handsome Man of the Year.
[11:42] ---
    Man!
[11:44] ---
    I didn't know that was even a thing.
[11:46] ---
    Way to go, Director Ichiya!
[11:48] ---
    General Ichiya!
[11:49] ---
    Ichiya of Destiny!
[11:50] ---
    Lord Ichiya!
[11:52] ---
    Ready! Set! And, go!
[11:54] ---
    --Ichiya is...!
    --Ichiya is...!
[11:57] ---
    --...the handsomest man.
    --...the handsomest man!
[11:59] ---
    --All right!
    --All right!
[12:01] ---
    --All right!
    --All right!
[12:02] ---
    --All right!
    --All right!
[12:03] ---
    --All right!
    --All right!
[12:07] ---
    What am I even doing?
[12:10] ---
    The members of Mermaid Heel
    became exclusive models for Sorcerer Weekly.
[12:15] ---
    Feelin' full of life!
[12:17] ---
    Never underestimate...
[12:19] ---
    ...chubby power!
[12:20] ---
    Yay! Kitties!
[12:23] ---
    What am I even doing?
[12:25] ---
    I'm so happy that everyone is doing well!
[12:29] ---
    Oh, you're still such a lightweight!
[12:31] ---
    Cana...
[12:32] ---
    This is a happy occasion!
[12:34] ---
    You gotta drink more!
[12:37] ---
    Careful. If you give a girl too much to drink...
[12:40] ---
    I want to take even more off! Waah!
[12:43] ---
    You idiot! Stop that!
[12:45] ---
    ...this is what happens.
[12:49] ---
    Actually, give her more...
[12:50] ---
    You old pervert!
[12:52] ---
    What are you thinking?!
[12:54] ---
    I'm sorry...
[13:02] ---
    You have that scar still...
[13:05] ---
    I don't mind it.
[13:07] ---
    I'm sure Wendy could get rid of it
    for you, if you asked her.
[13:12] ---
    Well, what about your scars?
    You still have yours.
[13:16] ---
    It's, you know, different for guys and girls!
[13:18] ---
    I mean, your body might--
[13:20] ---
    Might...?
[13:27] ---
    Might, umm, you know...
    be mine to have sometime or something...
[13:32] ---
    Juvin!
[13:35] ---
    She heard a little too much again...
[13:38] ---
    Gray and Juvia's relationship
    is interesting, for sure,
[13:41] ---
    but I've been keeping an eye
    on other couples lately, too!
[13:45] ---
    Elfman and Evergreen?
[13:47] ---
    --Manly!
    --Shut up!
[13:50] ---
    Not another marriage spat...
[13:52] ---
    Good grief.
[13:53] ---
    Well, they're interesting enough,
    but they've always been a close couple.
[13:59] ---
    --Ichiya asked us to visit again sometime.
    --Laxus and Mira?
[14:01] ---
    Get real.
[14:02] ---
    Nope! But there was a rumor
    about them at one point!
[14:06] ---
    --Are you really the real her?
    --Laxus and Lisanna?
[14:07] ---
    --You're still suspicious about that?
    --Laxus and Lisanna?
[14:09] ---
    --Laxus! Let's drink!
    --Laxus and Cana?
[14:12] ---
    Yeah!
[14:13] ---
    He has too many girl rumors!
[14:16] ---
    Laxus!
[14:18] ---
    You should try some of this!
    And, say, how about a shoulder rub?!
[14:22] ---
    Uhh, okay...
[14:23] ---
    Okay! It's chow time!
[14:25] ---
    You won a big writing award!
    That's an impressive achievement!
[14:30] ---
    Personally, I have no literary talent at all.
[14:33] ---
    One time, I sent a thank-you letter
    to a guild for helping me...
[14:36] ---
    ...and they came after me
    with weapons in hand!
[14:41] ---
    In any case, congratulations, Lucy.
[14:44] ---
    I'm proud to have you
    as a fellow guildmate.
[14:48] ---
    Thanks, Erza!
[14:50] ---
    Yes.
[14:52] ---
    I'm most interested in...
[14:54] ---
    ...the couple that was always passing
    each other by: Erza and Jellal.
[15:01] ---
    On a slightly different topic,
[15:03] ---
    the previous king of Fiore retired
[15:06] ---
    and Princess Hisui took over as queen.
[15:09] ---
    She's begun restoring
    diplomatic relations with Alvarez,
[15:13] ---
    and she's working really hard
    to help our kingdom prosper.
[15:17] ---
    As part of that...
[15:18] ---
    ...she granted Jellal and the other members
    of Crime Sorcière amnesty.
[15:23] ---
    Your Majesty. Are you saying...?!
[15:26] ---
    --Amnesty?
    --That's crazy!
[15:30] ---
    What does that mean?
[15:31] ---
    Our crimes are forgiven?
[15:33] ---
    Yes!
[15:35] ---
    B-But we were part of a dark guild...
[15:39] ---
    I've aware of your circumstances.
    And of your past.
[15:43] ---
    You have borne the
    heavy burden of your sins,
[15:47] ---
    even though, deep down, you look
    to tomorrow more than anyone else.
[15:51] ---
    Henceforth, please continue
    to live for the sake of others.
[15:59] ---
    Live...
[16:02] ---
    And so Jellal and his friends
    were given their freedom.
[16:06] ---
    I thought Erza would be elated for sure, but...
[16:11] ---
    It's complicated...
[16:13] ---
    This is too complicated, Lucy!
[16:15] ---
    Can't you write in simpler terms?!
[16:17] ---
    Sheesh. There's no understanding her.
[16:20] ---
    All these complicated words...
[16:22] ---
    But there is one thing I know.
[16:24] ---
    She never cared much about her hair before,
[16:27] ---
    but she started combing it every day
    since news of his pardon arrived.
[16:33] ---
    Hiya! What an auspicious occasion!
[16:36] ---
    Sorry we're late, everyone.
[16:39] ---
    Now listen up!
[16:41] ---
    I'm the one who raised Lucy!
[16:44] ---
    Me! It was all me!
[16:46] ---
    Quit acting so arrogant!
[16:48] ---
    --Ouch!
    --Now, now...
[16:51] ---
    Our master has trouble getting around now,
    after what happened back then...
[16:55] ---
    Who hits an ailing patient in the head?!
[16:58] ---
    If you're ailing, you shouldn't be drinking!
[17:00] ---
    Now, now...
[17:02] ---
    ...but he's still full of life.
[17:04] ---
    Sometimes, he talks about
    the incident with a puzzled air.
[17:10] ---
    What was that, I wonder...
[17:18] ---
    Was that--?!
[17:22] ---
    --First Master?!
    --Huh?!
[17:29] ---
    How--?!
[17:31] ---
    Excuse me. You dropped this.
[17:39] ---
    --Oh, thank you!
    --Not at all.
[17:42] ---
    Are you with a publisher?
[17:44] ---
    Yes. It's just a small one, though.
[17:47] ---
    --Are you also--?
    --Oh, no.
[17:49] ---
    I'm just an aspiring writer.
[17:53] ---
    I was so moved by Ms. Lucy's writing
    that I snuck in here to get her autograph.
[17:59] ---
    Me, too!
[18:02] ---
    --By the way...
    --Yes?
[18:04] ---
    Umm...
[18:06] ---
    What happened to your shoes?
[18:10] ---
    Oh! How careless of me!
    I forgot to put any on!
[18:22] ---
    My name is Alios.
[18:24] ---
    I'm Mio.
[18:26] ---
    Would you, umm, like to chat for a bit?
[18:30] ---
    Yes, I'd love that!
[18:32] ---
    It certainly is hot this August!
[18:34] ---
    Yes, that's probably why
    I forgot to put on shoes!
[18:40] ---
    Maybe I should take mine off, too!
[18:44] ---
    All this happiness makes me
    feel so warm and fuzzy inside!
[18:51] ---
    Hey. Have you seen Gajeel and Levy?
[18:54] ---
    --Don't ask us!
    --Think about our feelings!
[18:57] ---
    --This modern age'll be my time to shine!
    --Oh, shut up!
[19:03] ---
    --Hey, girl!
    --Hey, hot stuff!
[19:07] ---
    I'm not gonna grow up to be like them.
[19:10] ---
    --Like this?
    --I'm getting tired!
[19:12] ---
    Oui. Hold each other tighter.
[19:15] ---
    I'm gonna do work, starting tomorrow!
[19:17] ---
    You say that every time!
[19:19] ---
    What?! Is that a reality?!
[19:22] ---
    You have a boyfriend?!
[19:23] ---
    Yeah, his name is Erik. Now that he's free,
    we can see each other anytime!
[19:30] ---
    So much warmth!
[19:37] ---
    Huh? I'm back home?!
[19:40] ---
    Please don't tell me this was one big
    "it was all just a dream" cliché...
[19:45] ---
    When did the dream part start?
[19:47] ---
    --Yo!
    --My room!
[19:50] ---
    Look, Lucy! I made your
    trophy all nice and sparkly!
[19:55] ---
    It's all beat up!
    But I guess it wasn't a dream!
[19:59] ---
    What are you guys doing in my home anyway?!
[20:02] ---
    What do you mean? You suddenly fell down,
    so we carried you in here.
[20:06] ---
    Did I really drink that much?!
[20:08] ---
    Umm, actually, Lucy...
[20:10] ---
    Don't tell her, Happy.
[20:12] ---
    What did I do?!
[20:16] ---
    I want a piggyback ride!
[20:18] ---
    Change my clothes for me!
[20:20] ---
    Let me rub you, Happy!
[20:23] ---
    Good night...!
[20:25] ---
    I just remembered...
[20:29] ---
    I can never get married now...
[20:31] ---
    But you can go on a job request!
[20:57] ---
    Wh-Whoa. What's wrong, Lucy?
[20:59] ---
    Is it a tummy ache?
[21:04] ---
    I was just... remembering stuff, and...
[21:08] ---
    ...tears just started coming out...
[21:12] ---
    At the top of this hill,
    you can look down at the city
[21:15] ---
    If I hadn't met you two,
    I wouldn't be who I am today.
[21:20] ---
    I'm sure the person you want to see
    is doing the same
[21:23] ---
    Thank you so much...
[21:25] ---
    Thank you!
[21:27] ---
    I still remember what you said that day
[21:33] ---
    Actually, Lucy.
[21:34] ---
    "I'm fighting for someone."
[21:36] ---
    There's one other thing I wanted to tell you.
[21:41] ---
    Huh? What--?
[21:42] ---
    You even have wounds that will never heal
[21:44] ---
    But never mind that! Let's go do that job!
[21:46] ---
    So you lament that
    we'll never understand each other
[21:47] ---
    Aye, Sir!
[21:49] ---
    Wha--?!
[21:50] ---
    and put on such a sad smile
[21:51] ---
    Here I am, moved to tears,
    and you say "never mind"?! That's so mean!
[21:53] ---
    I'll take you to a place where you can fly
    as far and as long as you want
[21:57] ---
    Really, it doesn't matter!
[21:58] ---
    'Cause we're always gonna be together now!
[22:01] ---
    So don't let go of me
[22:04] ---
    Wait, I need to pack first!
    I need to get ready!
[22:07] ---
    --Already taken care of!
    --Aye!
[22:08] ---
    If we can accept everything
    and reach that place
[22:09] ---
    We even packed your sexy underwear!
[22:11] ---
    Unbelievable!
[22:12] ---
    Natsu! Hurry!
[22:15] ---
    --Sheesh! It's about time!
    --Are you trying to get left behind?
[22:16] ---
    then I just know we'll be unbeatable
[22:18] ---
    Remember how I said there was something
    I wanted to do after the fighting was over?
[22:23] ---
    Oh, is that what this job is?!
[22:26] ---
    I finally got permission to do it!
[22:29] ---
    All right. Let's go!
[22:32] ---
    100 Year Quest, here we come!
    I'm all fired up!
[22:38] ---
    Do fairies have tails or not?
[22:42] ---
    In fact, are fairies even real?
[22:47] ---
    It's an eternal mystery,
    and thus an eternal adventure.
[22:52] ---
    That's the meaning behind our guild's name.
[22:56] ---
    Admittedly, it's a cute name
    for such a wild guild...
[23:01] ---
    ...but every day here is so much fun!
    I love this guild!
[23:05] ---
    I hope everyone can find
    a Fairy Tail of their own someday.
[23:09] ---
    A precious, irreplaceable group...
[23:12] ---
    ...of dearest friends!
[23:14] ---
    All right! Let's go!
[23:16] ---
    Aye!
[23:17] ---
    See you later!
