[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?
[00:10] ---
    Previously on Fairy Tail:
[00:13] ---
    A past comrade of Erza's, Jellal, is plotting
    to resurrect Zeref using the Tower of Heaven.
[00:18] ---
    We linked up with Sho and
    other past friends of Erza's
[00:21] ---
    and somehow managed to defeat
    Trinity Raven of the Assassin's Guild.
[00:24] ---
    But... Hurry, Natsu! Etherion is about to fire!
[00:47] [SONG] ---
    Yo Ho! Steer that rudder! Hard to port!
[00:52] [SONG] ---
    Yo Ho! Our high-flyin' lives are every which way!
[01:00] [SONG] ---
    When the sun goes down, there's a bon voyage bash.
[01:09] [SONG] ---
    It ain't sad at all.
[01:14] [SONG] ---
    As long as we're alive, we'll meet again somewhere!
[01:21] [SONG] ---
    Blast straight through a headwind, set off!
[01:25] [SONG] ---
    Stay strong until the tears dry up! A man gotta be tough.
[01:30] [SONG] ---
    Friends, friends, laugh one day!
[01:35] [SONG] ---
    As proof of our strong, strong bonds!
[01:39] [SONG] ---
    Now, grab that map to the shining future!
[02:04] ---
    What is your real goal?
[02:09] ---
    You haven't really completed
    the R-system, have you?
[02:13] ---
    I haven't been doing nothing
    for these past 8 years.
[02:17] ---
    I researched the R-system myself.
[02:20] ---
    It's true there were no errors in the construction
    or theory of the blueprints back then.
[02:24] ---
    But there is something essential
    missing from the R-system.
[02:30] ---
    I told you, remember? You are the sacrifice.
[02:33] ---
    A problem more basic than that.
[02:35] ---
    The thing you lack is... magical power!
[02:43] ---
    A Prayer Under the Holy Light
[02:49] ---
    To activate a magical spell of this magnitude,
    you need a tremendous amount of magical energy.
[02:55] ---
    Even if you assembled every wizard on this
    continent, I'm not sure it would be enough.
[03:01] ---
    So of course there is no way an individual
    could store enough energy in this tower.
[03:08] ---
    And moreover, you know about the Council's
    attack but are not trying to escape.
[03:14] ---
    What are you thinking?
[03:17] ---
    Three minutes until Etherion.
[03:20] ---
    Jellal!
[03:21] ---
    Your dream is already over!
[03:24] ---
    Do you simply wish to die like this?
[03:28] ---
    If that's the case, then we go together.
[03:30] ---
    I will not release this hand
    until the final moment!
[03:34] ---
    Sure... That doesn't sound too bad.
[03:39] ---
    My body was possessed by Zeref's spirit.
[03:42] ---
    No words will reach me.
[03:45] ---
    I'm nothing but a puppet used for
    the purpose of resurrecting Zeref.
[03:49] ---
    Possessed?
[03:51] ---
    I wasn't able to save myself.
[03:54] ---
    Not friends nor anyone else could save me.
[03:59] ---
    There is no Heaven... There
    is no freedom, anywhere.
[04:04] ---
    Everything was over before it even began.
[04:11] ---
    Etherion, final firing phase complete!
[04:14] ---
    Satellite Square, deploy!
[04:16] ---
    No problems with the transference lacrima!
[04:19] ---
    Coordinates, locked.
[04:19] ---
    No signs of rejection from elemental merger.
[04:22] ---
    Begin countdown!
[04:23] ---
    Let us pray...
[04:26] ---
    Let us pray...
[04:27] ---
    Let us pray...
[04:29] ---
    Let us pray...
[04:31] ---
    Let us pray.
[04:47] ---
    That light!
[04:48] ---
    It's Etherion!
[04:51] ---
    Natsu, Erza... Hurry up and escape...
[04:56] ---
    I knew that the R-system wouldn't
    be able to be completed.
[05:01] ---
    But the spirit of Zeref wouldn't let me go.
[05:07] ---
    It's too late to stop it. I'm a
    broken engine that he's driving...
[05:12] ---
    Erza, you win.
[05:15] ---
    Please put an end to this.
[05:18] ---
    That's why you came here, yes?
[05:39] ---
    There is no point in delivering the final blow.
[05:42] ---
    The Satellite Square is already deployed above.
[05:47] ---
    It's over. For me... and you...
[05:54] ---
    Always the awkward one...
[05:57] ---
    You're also a sacrifice to Zeref, yes?
[06:00] ---
    This is my punishment for
    giving in to my weakness.
[06:04] ---
    My heart wasn't able to handle the
    huge gap between dreams and reality.
[06:10] ---
    Didn't you have friends there to fill
    in for your weaknesses and deficiencies?
[06:18] ---
    Erza...
[06:20] ---
    I am also repenting for my sin
    of not being able to save you.
[06:27] ---
    I was...
[06:31] ---
    ...saved.
[06:39] ---
    Let us pray to the holy light!
[06:42] ---
    Release Etherion!
[06:53] ---
    Here it comes!
[06:54] ---
    Natsu! Erza!
[07:00] ---
    This light...
[07:03] ---
    They didn't make it?
[07:07] ---
    Erza!
[07:28] ---
    It's over...
[07:53] ---
    Etherion has hit the target!
[07:56] ---
    Was it successfully destroyed?
    Hurry and confirm!
[07:59] ---
    Ethernano fusion density increasing!
[08:02] ---
    Predicting extreme weather patterns!
[08:06] ---
    I wonder how many people were in that tower?
[08:09] ---
    It was to stop Zeref from being resurrected.
    Their sacrifices were not in vain.
[08:16] ---
    Whether or not what we did
    was the right decision,
[08:20] ---
    that will not bring peace
    to the victims' families.
[08:28] ---
    No...
[08:30] ---
    Natsu... Erza...
[08:48] ---
    I'm alive?
[08:54] ---
    Jellal?
[08:59] ---
    Ethernano neutralizing around explosion center!
[09:03] ---
    W-Wait, that's...
[09:05] ---
    Fusion density dropping suddenly!
[09:07] ---
    A powerful, different magical
    energy is manifesting!
[09:10] ---
    The gauge can't keep up!
[09:11] ---
    What is this?
[09:12] ---
    Restore visual!
[09:18] ---
    Crystal?
[09:19] ---
    No, it's magic crystal.
[09:21] ---
    Lacrima!
[09:23] ---
    Hey, they're okay, right?
    Natsu, Erza, and Simon too?
[09:35] ---
    What the hell is going on?
[09:39] ---
    Etherion fired... So why am I still alive?
[09:45] ---
    Finally... Finally, the time has come!
[09:49] ---
    Why, you...
[09:50] ---
    This is the true form of the Tower of Heaven!
[09:53] ---
    It's a giant lacrima!
[09:55] ---
    And thanks to the attack
    by the Council's Etherion,
[09:58] ---
    it has absorbed an incredible
    amount of magical energy!
[10:02] ---
    Now the R-system is complete!
[10:08] ---
    The target is standing!
[10:10] ---
    A giant lacrima!
[10:11] ---
    The lacrima absorbed the
    magical power from Etherion!
[10:15] ---
    It what?!
[10:19] ---
    Sieg... What is the meaning of this?
[10:27] ---
    He disappeared...
[10:43] ---
    You tricked me?
[10:45] ---
    You were really cute there, Erza.
[10:48] ---
    Jellal was not able to produce his true power.
[10:52] ---
    He was in mortal danger, so he
    had no choice but to trick you.
[10:56] ---
    Siegrain!
[11:12] ---
    Why are you here?
[11:15] ---
    Remember the first time we met, Erza.
[11:21] ---
    That time you came with Makarov to deliver a
    written letter of apology to the council, yes?
[11:27] ---
    You mistook me for Jellal and attacked me.
[11:31] ---
    Well, we look identical, so it's to be expected.
[11:35] ---
    After you heard we were twins,
    you finally were pacified.
[11:39] ---
    However you always treated me as your enemy.
[11:42] ---
    Obviously!
[11:43] ---
    Instead of behaving as an older brother
    should, you tolerated what Jellal was doing!
[11:48] ---
    Or rather, you were spying on me!
[11:51] ---
    Yes.
[11:52] ---
    That was my mistake.
[11:54] ---
    I should have said something like "I will find
    Jellal and make him stop, no matter what."
[12:00] ---
    I had finally become a member of the council,
[12:03] ---
    so meeting you at all was my greatest mistake.
[12:07] ---
    The lies we tell in an unplanned
    moment cause us the greatest pain.
[12:11] ---
    So you two really did plot this together.
[12:15] ---
    Together?
[12:16] ---
    No.
[12:18] ---
    That's not it, Erza.
[12:23] ---
    We are a single person.
[12:26] ---
    From the very beginning.
[12:38] ---
    No...
[12:40] ---
    A thought projection?
[12:42] ---
    Yes. Siegrain is me.
[12:45] ---
    So you, yourself, fired Etherion?
[12:49] ---
    That's why you infiltrated the Council?
[12:51] ---
    Did you enjoy your fleeting freedom, Erza?
[12:55] ---
    Everything went according to
    Zeref's scenario for resurrection.
[13:00] ---
    You fiend... How many people
    have you deceived in your life?
[13:05] ---
    Power...
[13:08] ---
    ...my magical power has returned!
[13:11] ---
    A tremendous magical power is
    building in the Tower of Heaven!
[13:14] ---
    If that magical power is held
    in one place it'll explode!
[13:18] ---
    We were had.
[13:22] ---
    What is going on?
[13:24] ---
    The building is suddenly aging!
[13:27] ---
    Lost Magic?
[13:29] ---
    Time Ark?
[13:42] ---
    Ultear...
[13:44] ---
    Everything is for Lord
    Sieg... I mean, Lord Jellal.
[13:50] ---
    Right now, his dream is being fulfilled!
[13:56] ---
    That's the R-system?
[13:59] ---
    Yes, that's the true form of
    the R-system we built, got it?
[14:05] ---
    It's activating...
[14:07] ---
    Activating? You mean it's resurrecting Zeref?
[14:10] ---
    I don't know. We've never seen it operate.
[14:15] ---
    And Natsu and Erza are inside of it?
[14:18] ---
    Simon as well... And, Jellal...
[14:26] ---
    What happened to your previous strength?
[14:29] ---
    Did you use up too much of your magical
    power in the battle with Ikaruga?
[14:36] ---
    Jellal!
[14:45] ---
    Right now the Council should
    be completely paralyzed.
[14:50] ---
    I must be grateful to Ultear.
[14:53] ---
    She did quite well.
[14:55] ---
    She said, "If in heaven all are seen as
    one, then we need not fear even death."
[15:01] ---
    For my ideal, for my dream, she said
    she'd gladly lay down her own life.
[15:09] ---
    I truly must be thankful
    to be given stupid women!
[15:15] ---
    You fiend!
[15:18] ---
    You should die from the curses
    of all those you've used!
[15:26] ---
    What is this?
[15:28] ---
    Bind Snake.
[15:30] ---
    I put it on you when we hugged before.
[15:37] ---
    I have the magical power
    to activate the R-system.
[15:41] ---
    All I need now is the human
    sacrifice to resurrect Zeref.
[15:46] ---
    I have no more time to play with you, Erza.
[15:51] ---
    The tremendous amount of magical
    power this lacrima now stores,
[15:54] ---
    will be fused into your body.
[15:57] ---
    Your body will be deconstructed,
    and then reconstituted into Zeref's.
[16:11] ---
    I loved you, Erza.
[16:14] ---
    Damn it! Damn!
[16:23] ---
    O Great Zeref...
[16:26] ---
    I give to you this woman's body!
[16:34] ---
    Jellal!
[16:38] ---
    Jellal!
[16:42] ---
    Gotcha.
[16:48] ---
    Erza is a Fairy Tail wizard.
[16:51] ---
    You can't have her.
[16:57] ---
    Natsu...
[17:00] ---
    Sheesh.
[17:02] ---
    What are you doing?
[17:04] ---
    We need to get back and do some work,
    or the rent won't get paid this month.
[17:08] ---
    Lucy's rent, that is.
[17:09] ---
    Sorry. I can't move.
[17:12] ---
    Oh, yeah?
[17:14] ---
    You used to work me over pretty good!
[17:16] ---
    So take some of this!
[17:20] ---
    Natsu, get away from here as soon as you can.
[17:24] ---
    Not a chance.
[17:25] ---
    If you can't do it, then I'll do it for you.
[17:28] ---
    Stop. He's got the advantage.
[17:31] ---
    You don't know enough about him.
[17:33] ---
    So I can't win unless I do?
[17:36] ---
    Please, listen to me.
[17:43] ---
    What are you...
[17:44] ---
    Erza, I don't know anything about you either.
[17:48] ---
    But... I can win!
[17:56] ---
    You're even more outrageous than the rumors say.
[18:00] ---
    Had enough of hurting your
    friend when she can't move?
[18:04] ---
    Erza...
[18:08] ---
    ...was crying.
[18:12] ---
    She was giving up...
[18:15] ---
    And her voice was shaking...
[18:19] ---
    I don't want to see Erza like that.
[18:21] ---
    Erza should be strong and ferocious!
[18:26] ---
    I want her to be her usual self when
    she wakes up from this nightmare.
[18:34] ---
    I will fight!
[18:36] ---
    Interesting! Show me the dragon wizard's power!
[18:56] ---
    Wing Slash of the Fire Dragon!
[19:00] ---
    And!
[19:01] ---
    Talons!
[19:03] ---
    Roar of the Fire Dragon!
[19:24] ---
    Are you being serious?
[19:29] ---
    Natsu Dragneel... The child of Igneel.
[19:35] ---
    I wanted to taste the destructive power
    of a Dragon Slayer before I destroyed you,
[19:42] ---
    but this is nothing to fear at all.
[19:45] ---
    Say what?!
[19:47] ---
    How dare you interrupt the ceremony...
[19:50] ---
    I will use my Heavenly Body
    Magic to tear you to shreds!
[19:53] ---
    Meteor!
[20:04] ---
    Damn it! He's too fast!
[20:06] ---
    I shouldn't follow him with my eyes!
[20:10] ---
    Smell, sound, feel...
[20:13] ---
    Predict his movements... Concentrate...
[20:15] ---
    Concentrate!
[20:18] ---
    There!
[20:21] ---
    He's even faster?
[20:25] ---
    Your attacks will never hit me again!
[20:37] ---
    This is the end. I will show
    you true destructive magic.
[20:45] ---
    Be judged under the seven stars!
[20:48] ---
    Seven Star Blades!
[20:50] ---
    Grand Chariot!
[21:03] ---
    That's a spell that destroys
    with the power of falling meteors.
[21:08] ---
    I'm impressed your body is still intact.
[21:11] ---
    Perhaps I went a bit overboard.
[21:13] ---
    It would be dangerous to damage
    the R-system any further.
[21:18] ---
    The magical power is starting to leak out.
[21:22] ---
    I must hurry.
[21:27] ---
    Isn't that right, Erza?
[21:50] ---
    That attack hit.
[21:53] ---
    So breaking this tower, or um,
    lacrima... That's bad, huh?
[22:00] ---
    Rotten luck for you!
[22:03] ---
    Don't!
[22:06] ---
    Breaking things happens to be
    Fairy Tail wizards' specialty!
[22:11] ---
    I'm all fired up! More than I've ever been!
[22:17] ---
    You little brat!
[22:25] [SONG] ---
    That time we laughed, saying "we're both like each other,"
[22:35] [SONG] ---
    we even kindly overlooked the little lies.
[22:44] [SONG] ---
    If we lose a place to go back to together, I don't care.
[22:50] [SONG] ---
    Because I'll protect that smile.
[22:59] [SONG] ---
    The meetings and partings numerous as the stars in the sky...
[23:03] [SONG] ---
    All the things I don't want to lose...
[23:05] [SONG] ---
    Right now I feel like I don't need any of them.
[23:10] [SONG] ---
    I just want to see you by my side,
[23:15] [SONG] ---
    all my happiness and sadness.
[23:21] [SONG] ---
    Let's start from here.
[23:23] [SONG] ---
    Let's start our tomorrow.
[23:26] [SONG] ---
    Let's do it like we've just been reborn.
[23:30] [SONG] ---
    Like flowers blown in a summer wind,
[23:36] [SONG] ---
    let us bloom brightly in this instant.
[23:56] ---
    Natsu, Etherion has started
    going out of control!
[23:59] ---
    At this rate everyone will be destroyed!
[24:01] ---
    Damn it! There must be a way!
[24:03] ---
    Erza, what are you doing?
[24:06] ---
    Throwing your body into the lacrima?
[24:07] ---
    Is she attempting to fuse with Etherion
    and stop it from going out of control?
[24:11] ---
    Stop it!
[24:13] ---
    Next time: Titania Falls
[24:16] ---
    Erza disappeared...
[24:18] ---
    I won't accept it! I won't accept it, damn it!
[24:21] ---
    Erza!
[24:24] ---
