09x291 - The Magnolia Defensive w*r

[bunniefuu]

WEBVTT

X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=MPEGTS:,LOCAL:::.

No matter what

we're up against,

Fairy Heart must remain secret.

The world just

isn't ready for it.

We'll need to formulate

our strategy.

Everybody, pay close attention.

Zeref will inv*de Ishgar

with his entire army.

I won't sugar coat it.

There's no question we are at

an overwhelming disadvantage.

Our enemy is greater in number

and far more powerful than

any we've faced before.

But due to our courage and

our bond, we will prevail.

Let's show them what

our guild is made of!

[chuckles]

[LUCY]

Fairy Heart.

A powerful source of

everlasting magic,

with a limitless potential.

[LUCY] Zeref can't resist

its destructive power,

and is launching an invasion

of Ishgar to get it.

We have to make sure

that doesn't happen.

We can't let that thing

be used for evil.

No. I shouldn't say

it's a "thing."

It's the body of our First

Master, Mavis Vermiliion.

Which is even more

reason to keep it safe.

Had it not been for

her kind heart,

Fairy Tail would never have

brought us all together.

Who knows where we'd be.

Pretty good stuff there, Lucy!

If you keep it up,

you could turn into a

real novelist someday.

[LUCY gasps]

"Had it not been for

her kind heart"...

..."Fairy Tail would've never

brought us all together."

[LUCY] There's a difference

between "being together"

and "breaking and entering!"!

You should try to

relax a little.

The town is all

empty and boring,

so we decided to come over here.

Well, I'm glad they

were able to evacuate

all the citizens at least.

Cut loose, Lucy! Heh.

Let's have some fun!

Yeah, come on!

We brought a whole

buncha games and stuff!

You know, we're going

into a huge battle

with a terrifying

enemy tomorrow.

I'm not feeling games.

And unlike the two

of you knuckleheads,

I'm really not feeling all that

excited about fighting, either.

Huh?! I'm not "excited"

about the w*r!

I don't think you understand

somethin' about me.

I mean, I enjoy a good fight,

but only when it's

a competition.

I hate it when it involves

death, like this one.

Giving everything

I've got in a fight

to see how much I've

grown is what I live for.

But this time is way different.

I'll do anything for us to win,

or else we won't survive this.

Plus, there's somethin' I really

wanna do when it's over.

Aye!

I know you're dyin' to

hear what it is, Lucy!

[LUCY]

Nope, stop right there!

Don't say a thing.

This is actually a classic

literary technique

we writers call

"foreshadowing."

And what does that mean?

Like when someone talks

about their future plans

right before something big.

But then a tragedy strikes

and prevents them

from fulfilling their dream.

[NATSU] We're not scared

to talk about the future.

[HAPPY]

Aye.

Igneel himself told me I

should always talk about it.

Because that's what gives us

the strength to make it there!

That's a nice way to look at it.

[NATSU] All right!

Let's play some games!

[HAPPY]

Who's in for strip poker?

[LUCY] Not me, you freaky cat!

Besides, you're already naked!

So do you think it's possible

Jellal and Crime

Sorcière will help?

I do.

Since Zeref is the enemy,

I'd say it's almost guaranteed.

That does make me feel

a little bit better.

Although, most of that

crew were the ones

who destroyed Cait Shelter.

Well, they've changed!

[ERZA]

Ah, that reminds me

of the day I first invited

you to join Fairy Tail.

[WENDY]

We're so grateful!

[ERZA] Which also means I was

the one who dragged them

into this life filled

with so much fighting.

I'm responsible for them.

I have to keep them

safe best I can.

[WENDY]

Hey, Erza!

This time I'll protect you

for all you've done for me.

Oh, my!

I have loved watching you

grow into who you are.

Everyone in the guild

is so very proud of you.

[gasps]

[giggles]

Are you okay, my love?

[GRAY]

Hm?

I'm fine. Care for a bite?

Wow! My darling Gray is

sharing his food with me?

His lips touched this!

I hope you know

I appreciate you.

[JUVIA gasps]

[GRAY] I can always count on

you to be by my side, right?

[JUVIA] Oh, well, uh,

yes, of course, my love!

If that's what you want!

I'll give you my answer

once the battle is over.

[JUVIA]

Huh?

[GRAY] But for now,

let me focus on this.

Sure.

I'm gonna take down Zeref.

With my secret w*apon!

Natsu's not the only one of us

who's got a trick up his sleeve.

So Zeref... E.N.D...

...we're coming for both of you.

[MAKAROV] Has your scanner

picked up anything yet, Warren?

There's been no sign of the

enemy inside of Fiore so far.

That's good to hear,

but are you positive we can

put our trust in that thing?

I built this ultra-high

performance

radar myself, ya know?

They're coming. That we know.

But we don't know

from what direction.

Finding out where they plan

to launch their as*ault

may mean the difference

between life and death.

The most orthodox

strategy would be

creating a diversion

in the north,

with the main force

coming from the south.

First Master!

I just checked up on everyone,

before the battle begins.

Our guild, they all seem so

carefree despite the danger.

Their bravery is

quite remarkable.

I think I may have a different

read on the situation.

The kids are all

desperately trying

to keep their anxiety at bay,

so they're spending

time with each other

to pool their fortitude and

lift one another's spirits.

That is crucial at

a time like this.

But still, I cannot hold them

at fault for their fear tonight.

When a parent is afraid,

that feeling will be shared

with their children.

So it's a parent's duty to stand

up in front of their children,

and though they may tremble,

plant their feet firmly

into the ground.

You're right!

[ALL gasp]

What's that?

[LUCY gasps]

I think something's

happening outside.

Is that fog?

It can't be.

Warren, is your contraption

working properly or not?

Yes, of course it's working!

But I don't know

that this is magic!

[alarm blaring]

How in the hell were we not able

to see them approaching earlier?

All members, prepare for battle!

They're coming from the sky!

Approximately

full-size aerial cruisers!

There's way too many of 'em!

Just one of those

suckers is big enough

to wipe out the whole guild!

[MAKAROV]

This is but a tiny fraction

of the empire's full forces.

No one ever said anything

about an aerial att*ck!

[laughs]

Listen up, 'cause I've travelled

halfway around the world

to do one thing!

And that's to pulverize all

of you into fairy dust!

Ring the bell

immediately! It's time!

They're coming from the west

with aerial cruisers!

They're here now!

Already?

I don't think I'm ready

for this fight, you guys!

Fire!

What?

Enchantment activated.

Ah.

They've conjured up some

kind of magic barrier.

I'll have to punch through it.

So what now?

Fried's spells are powerful,

but I'm not sure how long he

can hold back this onslaught.

You can't give up now, Fried!

I'll lend you some of my

magic power if you need it!

This att*ck is

absolutely nothing

like we were anticipating.

How do we fight back?

Stay calm.

I thought it unlikely,

but I had considered this.

At the moment,

what we're dealing with

is an advance squad,

and as luck would have it,

this is a much

smaller-scale att*ck

than I'd originally feared.

Uh...

Ahh...

Now! I need you to

relay this message:

"Start Strategy D! Flying

Dragons and Ospreys!

Commence the att*ck!"

Got it!

This is Osprey reporting

from the Eastern Woods.

Target is currently

too far out of range.

Why is Mommy calling

herself "Osprey"?

Beats me.

Bisca, I have complete

faith in you.

Yes, ma'am.

So how do ya like that?

[laughs]

A few more rounds

and that shield's gone!

[CREWMAN A] Ajeel, sir!

Something's coming up quickly!

Now what do we have here?

[CREWMAN B] That one's moving

towards us really fast!

[CREWMAN C]

Evasive maneuvers!

[CREWMAN D] Ship number

four has been destroyed!

The hell?

Say hi to the Flying

Dragon squad!

It's that guy again.

Now let's rock!

Right!

[CREWMAN E]

A tornado? Uh!

[AJEEL]

Blow 'em outta the sky!

[HAPPY]

Whoa!

[NATSU]

Nice moves, Happy!

Curses! There's too

much enemy fire!

Bisca needs to get sh**ting!

[BISCA] This is Osprey unit!

Magic power charged and ready!

Go, Mommy! I know

you can do it!

[ALZACK]

Asca! Get back!

It takes minutes

to charge a sh*t,

so I gotta make this one count.

You're good!

Don't worry, you've

got this, honey!

You know what an osprey is?

A bird that never

loses its prey.

Focused magic cannon Jupiter.

Fire!

Wasn't that Phantom Lord's?

When did we get it?

Don't know. Let's hope it works.

[AJEEL]

Nice try, ya losers!

He broke up the blast!

Maybe, but it looks like you

still took out a few ships!

[PANTHERLILY] He diffused a

sh*t from the Jupiter Cannon?

Guess we gotta

fight 'em up close.

I say we start with

the sandy bastard!

You guys really know

how to break stuff.

[ALL groan]

What the hell?!

Oh, no! We forgot

this is a vehicle!

What a huge oversight.

Hey, Wendy, time to

use your Troia spell!

I'm so sorry, you guys...

...but I can't use it if I'm

already feeling pukey, too.

That's no good.

This part completely

slipped my mind.

[NATSU, GAJEEL, WENDY groaning]

What are you guys gonna do,

throw up on my feet?

Works for me.

We've taken some hits tonight.

I want you to have some

of the ships land

while I deal with these idiots.

[CREWMAN A]

Yes, sir!

Are you really the same

cocky little fire wizard

I fought back in Alvarez?

Because you and

your queasy crew

look like a freakin' joke

on your home turf.

Whoa!

[NATSU, GAJEEL, WENDY screaming]

[CREWMAN F]

The bow has been sliced off!

Listen up!

Happy! Carla! Lily!

Help them out!

[HAPPY laughs]

[CREWMEN yelling]

Who do you think you are?

I'm the woman who'll

strike you down.

You'd better beg for mercy.

You're dealing with Titania.

Kneel before the Fairy Queen!

Thanks, Erza.

[CARLA] Several in their

fleet are landing.

We need to deal

with them at once!

You're right.

She's got a way better chance

fighting on a ship than we do.

Yes, she's more equipped

to handle the situation.

How am I ever gonna protect her

if she's always protecting me?

Defeating one of the

will be nearly impossible,

even for a warrior like Erza.

Yet I have faith

in her abilities.

If we can actually drive

back their vanguard,

it'll be a real sh*t

in the arm for morale!

[EVERGREEN]

What's the problem?

I thought your enchantment

was a perfect defense!

You should realize nothing

in this world is perfect.

He's doin' the best

he possibly can here,

but their firepower

is too brutal!

Thanks to our friends in the

Flying Dragon and Osprey squads,

the enemy forces have

been cut in half.

Gives me a better chance of

maintaining the enchantment.

Mommy, you gotta

hurry up and sh**t 'em

before they destroy the town!

She knows, sweetheart, but it

takes a while to get it ready.

[sighs]

I'm gonna blast that

sucker this time.

All right, men! Magnolia's

right in front of ya!

Go wipe it off the map for good!

[SOLDIERS yelling]

[SOLDIER A]

But, Captain!

How are we gonna get past

the enemy's enchantment?

No clue.

[SOLDIER A]

Huh?

[BAKEL laughs]

[KAREEM]

Not a problem.

We have someone to dispel it.

He's arrived, so the

barrier will fall shortly. line:%

To be honest, I feel this

overwhelming show of force line:%

is a tad bit excessive for

such a weak adversary. line:%

But still, I'm duty-bound

to execute the orders line:%

given by my commander.

[laughing]

[sneezes]

Ya know, you've done us a real

favor by landin' on the ground!

So thanks!

Take this!

[SOLDIERS scream]

[NATSU]

Fire Dragon Talon!

Ha!

[yells]

[chuckles]

[ERZA]

Heaven's Wheel: Circle Sword!

You think that lame

att*ck is gonna b*at me?

[AJEEL]

Huh?

[ERZA]

Black Wing: Moon Flash!

[AJEEL] If you're one of the

strongest in your guild,

the rest of 'em must be pitiful!

This has to be a joke,

right? Come on!

No one mocks Fairy Tail!

You'll pay for that!

More sand?

Your weakness is

what's mocking it.

[grunting]

[ERZA]

What's happening?

[AJEEL]

You're decaying into dust.

[ERZA] My Requip magic

isn't working! But why?

[ERZA screams]

[gasps]

[EVERGREEN] Fried!

Is there something wrong?

There is. A hole's been

opened in the enchantment.

[ALL gasp]

It looks like there's some

kind of breach in the barrier.

And it's a big one!

Does that mean they have someone

who nullifies enchantments?

This will prove to be

an easy victory, indeed.

[MAN A]

Impressive work, Wall, sir.

[MAN B]

We'll be done here in no time!

They'll learn the strength

of the Alvarez Empire.

One last lesson before dying.

I sense more magic power.

Could another member

of the have arrived?

The enemy has entered Magnolia!

Hold them back at all costs!

They broke through

Fried's barrier?

They're near the

girls' dormitory!

[WARREN] Someone needs

to head to the breach

in the enchantment!

Crap. Who's closest?

Uhh, let me see.

Elfman! Lisanna! Mirajane!

Get there, quickly!

I need to go and back them up.

[LUCY] Aquarius, please.

Lend me your strength.

[bang]

[gasps]

[LUCY]

What was that sound?

Something's in here.

[splashing]

[LUCY]

Is it coming from the bathroom?

Looks like I was

right after all.

I knew this was your place.

[MARIN]

Gets an A-plus from me!

[LUCY]

What in the world?

I knew the Spriggan

were coming to Ishgar,

but I wasn't expecting one

of them in my bathtub!

I don't know why,

but you have been

running through my mind

ever since we met.

[alarm blaring]

[WARREN gasps]

More bad news!

Now there's another member

of the in Magnolia!

Another one?

Three of those

monsters in one group?

How are we gonna fight

back against that?

[WARREN]

No! This can't be happening!

[DROY]

Uh-oh. What is it now?

[WARREN] A massive force

of over ships

is coming in from the north!

And judging from the

magic power signature,

it has another three of the !

[gasps]

[WARREN]

But it's worse than that!

There's an identical group

coming from the south as well!

And this one has

another three of them!

They're making an

approach on three sides?

[WARREN]

No.

There's also a million soldiers

that are marching from the east,

with three more of the .

We're completely surrounded.

The enemy has left us

with nowhere to run.

[gasps]

How are they coming

from the east?

They musta cut through

Bosco to pull that off!

It's like they're throwing

everything they have

at us all at once!

This is the worst thing

that could happen!

[MAVIS]

No matter how I calculate it...

...we have no chance of winning.

[LUCY] Fairy Tail is surrounded

by the enemy on all sides

as the Spriggan

enter Magnolia.

Brandish is especially close,

and seems personally intrigued,

until a certain name

sours the mood.

Meanwhile, out in

the western skies,

Erza struggles in the fight

against Ajeel, the Desert King.

His deadly sandstorm

envelops her,

threatening to grind her down

into whirling grains herself.

Next Time: "Morning Star."

Our perseverance

will be our light

that pierces through

the darkness.
