[ZEREF] He's turned the
ground itself to fire!
Incredible!
This is the end, Zeref! Goodbye!
[ZEREF] After what's
felt like an eternity,
my wish shall be granted.
[ZEREF]
Thank you.
Igneel...
Anna...
Layla...
Mavis...
And...
...my dear little brother...
[ZEREF]
Natsu.
[laughs]
[HAPPY]
Are you okay?
[NATSU]
I'm good!
Don't worry. I've got enough
for one more att*ck.
[NATSU]
Igneel. I need your strength.
One more sh*t is all
it's gonna take!
[ZEREF]
I'm impressed.
You've grown so
strong. It's true.
[ZEREF] If there's anyone alive
who can stop me, it's you.
At least, that's what
I've wanted to believe.
But so much time has passed.
I shifted my focus away
from destroying myself
some years ago, and
directed those wishes
toward the world at large.
This moment has once
again... changed things.
[ZEREF]
Although I am immortal,
your next strike could
very well end my life.
Yet another contradiction.
It all depends on your strength.
[ZEREF] With that said, I have
something to share with you.
And this may be the last
chance I'll ever get.
Huh?
[ZEREF]
My true name is Zeref Dragneel.
I'm your older brother.
[gasps]
Huh?
[ZEREF]
About years ago,
both of our parents
were k*lled by dragons.
They were b*rned alive.
I lost my entire
family that day.
Including my little
brother, Natsu.
[NATSU gasps]
No way. I don't believe it.
For years I tirelessly
researched ways
to bring you back from the dead.
Instead, I created new life.
"Etherious," also known as
"demons from the
Books of Zeref."
You are one of those.
Originally named
Etherious Natsu Dragneel.
Or... E.N.D.
[gasps]
[HAPPY]
He's lying!
Why would you believe
a word he says?
[NATSU gasps]
Yeah!
So, I'm supposedly
your dead brother
and some kinda demon you made?
I've never heard
such a load of crap!
Anyway, I thought Igneel
wasn't able to b*at E.N.D.!
We all know he could've
totally crushed me
whenever he felt like it,
so there's no way that's me.
[ZEREF]
It's not that he couldn't
physically defeat you, brother.
He simply refused to
out of fatherly love.
Huh?
What about E.N.D. being
the demon who made Tartaros?
That ain't me!
Besides, I'm human!
Mard Geer was responsible for
bringing Tartaros into being.
He happened upon this book
by a stroke of sheer luck,
then used it to
gather other demons,
claiming it was
the will of E.N.D.
So, one could still
make the argument
that you created Tartaros.
That's enough! There's no
way in hell I'm a demon!
[groans]
Natsu!
[ZEREF]
All these years,
and it's still impossible
to reason with you.
Back then, you refused
to learn how to read,
among other things.
That's why... I turned to my
old friend Igneel for advice
on what to do with you.
[NATSU]
Huh?
You were friends?
[ZEREF] At the time, Igneel was
one of the very few dragons
that harbored no hostility
toward humans.
We met completely
by chance one day,
while I was out collecting
herbs for my research.
[ZEREF] He offered to share
his knowledge with you,
to teach you Dragon
Slayer magic.
Igneel, Metalicana,
and the others
had devised a special plan.
They would all raise
Dragon Slayers.
Then, after using the
Dragon Soul technique
to seal away their power
inside the children,
they would travel to the future.
[ZEREF] The ultimate goal
was to slay Acnologia.
[ZEREF] You may be
wondering why they'd need
to travel to the future.
The truth is, the dragons
were simply at their weakest
at that moment.
They needed more Ether-nano
in the environment.
The only way they
could break the seals
on the Dragon Soul
spells was by going
to an era rich with Ether-nano.
Five children were chosen to be
their vessels for this mission.
You, Gajeel, Wendy,
Sting, and Rogue.
[ZEREF] Each one of them
a child without a family.
Well, you had me,
but I gave my approval
for my own reasons.
I did want Acnologia
dead, but...
...there was a more
selfish factor.
I hoped you'd grow strong enough
to someday end my suffering
and k*ll me as well.
[ZEREF] They used the
Eclipse gate to create a portal
into the future.
A celestial wizard named Anna
was in charge of the entrance.
The exit was left to an
undetermined point in time.
Anna's family passed
this responsibility
down for generations.
The gate was finally
unlocked in this current era,
when Ether-nano is abundant.
A Celestial Spirit wizard named
Layla opened the Eclipse.
That event happened
on the seventh day
of the seventh month
of the year .
The day you thought
the dragons disappeared.
In fact, it was the day
you Dragon Slayers
awoke in this era.
You were children. Ones born
years in the past.
I waited for you. Centuries
spent in anticipation.
However, years
is a long time.
Much has happened since then.
I've seen ages come and go,
countless people being
born only to die.
For a while, the importance
of any one life lost meaning.
Then I met Mavis.
And inevitably lost her.
So I...
Shut up!
I don't believe any of
this crap you're spewin'!
[yells]
Since you're a demon
of the Book of Zeref,
if you k*ll me...
...you'll die, too.
If that's what it takes,
then so be it!
Natsu!
[NATSU]
I've already made up my mind!
I came here for one reason only:
To take you down for good!
This is your last
chance, brother.
Please don't fail me.
[grunts]
What the hell's gotten into
you, Happy?! Take me down!
[HAPPY crying]
[HAPPY] I can't let
you do it. You'll die!
[gasps]
If I let that happen, I couldn't
live with myself, Natsu!
[NATSU]
I'm losin' Igneel's power,
so ya gotta put me down!
This is our last chance!
If he gets away, he's gonna
destroy the whole world!
But you're my best
friend, Natsu!
You'd stop me from
dying, wouldn't you?
I'm taking you home,
no matter what! Right now!
[ZEREF]
It could've ended here.
[ZEREF]
Goodbye, Natsu.
[ZEREF] Now, there's not a
soul left who can stop me.
I've been unburdened
of all hesitation.
Have the troops resume
their advance at once.
The target is the
Fairy Tail guild hall.
The unending power of the
Fairy Heart shall be mine,
and mine alone.
Also, a new set of
clothes in in order.
A wardrobe befitting an emperor. line:%
[DIMARIA]
This place is pretty nice.
I suppose that it was wise
of you to not destroy it.
[WALL laughs]
Well, I was aiming for
Magnolia, if you must know!
Then we're quite fortunate
that wasn't destroyed, either.
It's where Randi's
being held prisoner.
The mere thought
of the humiliation
she must be feeling...
I can't wait to see it.
[chuckles]
You humans don't make a
damn bit of sense to me.
Do you know where Neinhart is?
[SOLDIER A]
Still on his ship, ma'am.
[DIMARIA]
Wonderful.
I'm stuck babysitting a
sullen loner and a machine.
But seeing Randi like that
should cheer me right up.
[MILLIANNA]
Meow...
How many of these Alvarez
g*ons did they send our way?
[KAGURA]
From what I'm hearing,
nearly , are in position
outside of Hargeon.
There's a ton more
inside the city.
Supposedly there are
boatloads full of troops
that haven't landed yet.
Prob'ly more than ,.
That's just crazy!
Between Lamia Scale
and Mermaid Heel,
we have around people.
We're at a disadvantage,
so we must fight with
everything we've got.
They've come onto our
homeland of Ishgar.
No matter the cost,
we will not be overrun!
The forces of Mermaid Heel and
Lamia Scale have come together.
We will give our lives in the
fight to liberate Hargeon!
Forward!
[WIZARDS cheer]
[DIMARIA] Well now,
it seems we must teach
these arrogant fools
a hard lesson.
They must learn what power is.
Yes. Ha!
Happy. Are your paws okay?
Yeah, they're fine, thanks.

[HAPPY]
Natsu?
[NATSU]
Hm?
You and me are friends
forever, aren't we?
Yeah. We are.
What's up?
You gotta find some
other way. Okay?
I won't let my best
friend die. You hear me?
Yeah.
I mean it!
[HAPPY crying]
[LUCY] I really hope
you're okay, Natsu.
I almost can't believe
you'd run off
to fight Zeref all by yourself.
That's crazy, even for you.
Listen to Happy and
make sure he's safe.
I do believe in you, you know?
[SOLDIERS groan]
Man, I can't imagine
how hard this would be
without Blue Pegasus.
There must be several
thousand of these soldiers.
[sighs]
[WIZARDS screaming]
Now what's happening?
Run, Yukino! It's bad!
We're getting slaughtered!
[gasps] line:%
[WIZARD B]
It's the Grim Reaper! line:%
[WIZARD C]
Get outta here!
What is that?
Yo.
I knew you were despicable,
but attacking Bosco?
You've sunk to a new low.
Huh?
That was not a solo endeavor.
I had some help from
August and Jacob.
Will you lecture them?
What compelled you to dishonor
your motherland, God Serena?
Surely there's a reason.
That's some glare.
You must be feeling fussy.
That's him? The former
number-one of the Wizard Saints?
What a disgrace.
And behind him stands
August, the Wizard King,
a man who has mastered
all forms of magic
from every corner of our world.
In black is a member
of the Spriggan line:%
who's an expert in assassination
magic, Jacob Lessio. line:%
Hey, tell me, priest.
What is it?
[JACOB]
Who does your hair?
[JURA grunts]
[chuckles]
[MARIN]
Brandish, my lady?
So glad I was able to find you.
Me, too. I knew
you'd come for me.
That's what pets like
you are for, right?
Now, take off these shackles.
I can hardly wait
to screw around
with this crappy guild hall.
[chuckles]
[BRANDISH]
Marin, wait!
What are you doing?
[MARIN] I've had enough
of you treating me
like some kind of sl*ve!
[MARIN laughs]
That earns you a failing grade!
You're an F-minus!
[MARIN laughing]
[laughing continues]
Let's take 'em down!
[SOLDIERS groan]
[SOLDIERS yelling]
[SOLDIERS scream]
[SOLDIER U]
These wizards...
[SOLDIER V]
They can really fight!
You should never
underestimate...
...chubby power!
Vegetable Magic.
Y'all hungry fer
Carrot Missiles?

Angry Kitten Blast!
Now Ice Make.... Titan Foot!
[SOLDIERS screaming]
[SHELIA]
Sky God Boreas!
[SOLDIER FF yelps]
[SOLDIER GG]
Don't back down! Charge!
[WALL]
Targets locked. Missiles ready.
Now! Show 'em what hell is like!
[WIZARDS scream]
Huh? What's happenin'?
[screams]
Beth, No!
[BOTH yell]
[gasps]
[MILLIANNA]
Kagura!
There's a magic att*ck
coming from the sky!
Oh, yes! That's it!
I'll take care of these things!
Archenemy...
[KAGURA]
...Flying Form.
That was awesome!
[gasps]
I must say, your reaction
speed's impressive!
I love your eastern
kimono. It's beautiful.
However...
...I'm afraid your blood
is going to stain it.
[KAGURA] No. Where is all this
magic power coming from?
Can you feel it too, Lyon?
There's intense
pressure in the air.
My goodness, Beth, you okay?
Yeah. But somethin'
scary's goin' down.
Please! Be careful!
[KAGURA]
Her power is so intense,
the entire b*ttlefield
is frozen in terror.
She has to be a member
of the Spriggan .
Your bangs kind of
remind me of Randi's.
Now this will be fun.
[gasps]
Huh? I didn't see her.
That's good! I can see
Magnolia right up ahead!
Hm? Natsu?
Oh, no! What's wrong with you?
Please, say something!
Natsu!
[LUCY] Brandish is nearly
k*lled by her "precious pet,"
but luckily for her,
we're not gonna let
something like that
happen in our guild hall!
As she recovers from
that vicious att*ck,
she finally reveals her
mysterious connection
to my mother, Layla.
Her heart has been in
the fiery grip of revenge
for all these years,
and since Mom's
not around anymore,
she's been waiting to
take her anger out on me.
Next Time: "What I Want to Do."
The memories of the stars
guide us on to a new future.
