09x297 - Not Until the Battle Is Over

[bunniefuu]

WEBVTT

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

[LYON] Their numbers

are too great for us.

At this point, we can't even

get anywhere close to the city.

I know, but we have to take it

back to stave off the invasion.

Because if we don't,

they're going to keep on

sending ships full

of reinforcements.

[SHELIA]

We have to get the upper hand.

Oh, I wish Wendy were here.

How lame!

You had a four-against-one

advantage,

and this is the best

you old farts can do?

My old friend.

Sadly, I'll never see

your smiling face again.

Huh?

[WARROD]

Yuri. Precht.

I'll be joining you very soon.

[GOD SERENA] I think

turning you into firewood

is going to be a lot

of fun, Warrod, no joke.

This does not bode well.

He took us down with

no help from the others.

I'm afraid going to Alvarez

has only made him stronger.

How can this be?

We've failed.

We've sullied the name of

the Four Emperors of Ishgar.

Time to say God-bye-bye.

[WARROD]

Sorry, Mavis, this is farewell.

However...

As one of the founders

of Fairy Tail,

it's not in my nature

to go down quietly.

I will fight to the end!

God Serena.

I'm taking you with me!

[WARROD] God Serena.

I'm taking you with me!

[grunting]

[WOLFHEIM roars]

I see. You're not as

weak as I thought.

[gasps]

[GOD SERENA]

Hyberion!

Nice.

Vampiric magic.

Without any contact. Seems

he's earned his stature.

[HYBERION]

As I suspected,

your bluster exceeds your

abilities, God Serena.

[AUGUST]

No need to get involved.

Just be content to

stand back and watch.

This will be a delight.

All right! Cavern Dragon!

Earth Collapse!

[gasps]

[WARROD groaning]

[WOLFHEIM yells]

What is this? Earth

Dragon Slayer magic?

There's more.

Purgatory Dragon:

Blazing Inferno!

Mighty Sea King Dragon:

Water Vortex!

Fire and water?

I've got Tempest

Dragon magic, too.

More elements?

[AUGUST]

You've done enough, God Serena.

[GOD SERENA] Whoops.

Seems I had too much fun.

Seeing him in action

was a delight indeed.

A Dragon Slayer with

eight dragon lacrimas.

Puts on a hell of a show.

The Hybrid Theory personified.

He is a man favored

by the god of dragons.

[chuckles]

There aren't any gods or kings

when it comes to dragons.

How could there be when none

can even compare to my power?

[AUGUST]

With those four bested,

let us continue

onward to Fairy Tail.

[WARROD]

They'll destroy everything,

leaving only death

in their wake.

But who can stop them?

[gasps]

[WARROD]

Wait. What is this presence?

This power?

Who is that approaching?

I smell the putrid

stench of a dragon.

[AUGUST]

Acnologia.

[grunts]

So you've come to me,

aren't I lucky?

I left Ishgar behind with the

dream of k*lling you, so--

[gasps]

[gasps]

[groaning]

[ACNOLOGIA] Only seven

more dragons remaining.

I will slay them all.

That's him. That's Acnologia.

[AUGUST]

Calm down.

You'd be dead before

you hit the ground.

[AUGUST] Perhaps His Majesty

could defeat him,

once he's acquired

the Fairy Heart.

[AUGUST]

Let us make haste to Fairy Tail.

So we may help secure

his extraordinary prize.

[footsteps]

How's his condition?

Can't tell. He hasn't

woken up yet.

Have you checked on

Bixlow and Evergreen?

Yes, they're feeling

much better.

[LUCY]

I'm happy to hear it.

If anyone's curious,

I should recover, too.

[FRIED] Do you happen

to know where Laxus is?

I think he left town

with Erza's team.

They're going to go

liberate Hargeon.

Gray and Wendy went with them.

I see. I hope he's not reckless.

[LUCY]

And how likely is that?

[FRIED]

Touché.

Caution? Not his style.

[ICHIYA] A man who dives

headlong into danger.

Man.

We'll reach Hargeon by morning.

So get all the rest

you can tonight.

Okay.

And you'd be wise to

take your own advice.

Wendy has better things

to do than play nurse.

Gray, my darling!

Aren't you glad I

brought my special

two-person sleeping bag

with me on this trip?

No way I'm gettin'

in that thing!

Juvie!

Feel like I haven't

seen Laxus in a while.

Earlier he said he was hungry

and he ambled towards the woods.

He's prob'ly off tryin'

to eat a bear or somethin'.

Think so?

Are bears tasty?

[WENDY]

Uh. You're drooling.

[LAXUS grunting]

[GRAY]

When did it start?

[LAXUS]

None of your damn business.

[GRAY]

Come on, man, we're guild mates.

I'm askin' as a friend.

[GRAY]

I'd guess a year ago?

Right when you got a double

lung full of Bane Particles?

That sound right?

[LAXUS sighs]

[gasps]

[LAXUS]

He's not human!

[TEMPESTER yelling]

I missed?

[TEMPESTER yelling]

Stand still. Coward.

Is this still enough for ya?

Lightning Dragon Jaw!

[TEMPESTER] A great number

of people are about to die.

And we'll be the first.

[LAXUS]

No one else is gonna die here!

Not while I'm around!

[FRIED]

Laxus. Shield your mouth!

[FRIED]

What are you doing?

[LAXUS] That's twice you've

misjudged me, "Disaster."

First you underestimated

the strength of my magic,

now you've done the

same with my lungs.

[FRIED] Please stop.

You'll k*ll yourself!

No way you're talkin'

me outta this.

But you can make sure

they get home safe.

Not one word.

Okay, this is between us.

Enough with the death glare.

[LAXUS sighs]

[LAXUS]

It's nothing.

Just bothers me every

once in a while.

Don't worry about it.

[GRAY]

Hm.

[LAXUS]

Tch.

I'm gonna protect the guild,

up until the battle is over.

Even if it kills me.

[LAXUS]

Get dressed, damn it!

Aw, man! Sorry about that!

[LEVY]

Hey, Gajeel.

Trouble sleeping?

Yeah. Guess I'm

not the only one.

I'm worried.

It feels like there's

a good chance

we're not gonna make

it back from this one.

We've said it before,

but there's something

different about this enemy.

I'm scared.

And I'm not nearly as

strong as everyone else.

Is this gonna be the end

of the story for us?

[gasping] What the--?

Gajeel!

You're under arrest

for self-doubt.

Sorry.

[GAJEEL] Ya know what

that means, don't ya?

I'm gonna throw your butt

in a guild hall cell

when we get back.

[WIZARDS yelling]

Today we will take back Hargeon!

Drive them out!

I rattled her yesterday,

but look at her now.

All fired up.

[WALL laughs]

Still though, I think I'll play

with someone else today.

Now Sky God... Boreas!

[SOLDIER A]

Who's that little shrimp?

[SOLDIER B]

She's pretty tough!

And Sky God--

I'm claiming this

little one for myself.

No please! Don't do this!

[DIMARIA] You're just

getting me more excited.

You want me to do to you

what I did to your friend?

[SHELIA growls]

[DIMARIA] Too bad, because

today is going to be different.

[gasps]

Let's see. You're

a healer, right?

Well, that means

I can't let you live.

[gasps]

[gasps] Wendy, it's you!

Sorry I got here late.

But the Sky Sisters

are back in action!

[DIMARIA] That brat...

kicked me in the face.

Ice Make Eagle.

If I can pull that off a couple

thousand more times, we're good.

[GRAY]

Lyon!

We're headed for the front line!

Let's send them back home!

Juvia? And Gray?

It's now or never, guys!

This is our chance!

[LYON] Whoa! She's

practically glowing!

[gasps]

What the hell are

you doing here?

[ERZA] This was our

battle from the start!

We never expected

another guild to butt in.

But here you are!

So thank you!

Erza!

Let's get moving!

Right.

[WALL]

Wow.

So Fairy Tail actually decided

to bring the fight to us.

Huh?

[growls]

You're the one who messed

with the Thunder Legion?

Never heard of 'em!

[WALL screams]

They're my friends, you freak!

Ah.

Alchemizing copper and zinc,

nine-millimeter rounds.

Fire!

That lightning?

We get that kinda weather

back in Magnolia.

Sunny with a chance of Laxus.

And plenty of ice

in the forecast!

Not bad, big guy.

What makes you tick?

A quick analysis.

[WALL]

Huh?

Your organs are

in quite a state.

Tch.

What's your secret?

I honestly wanna know

how you're alive.

I mean, are you actually human?

It's not about "how I'm alive."

It's "how I live"!

So profound.

You people really

enjoy showing off

your pithy wordplay, don't you?

And for your information,

lightning doesn't work on me.

[WALL laughing]

So the conversation needs to

shift to "how you'll die."

Erza, this way!

But what about all

the enemies here?

[KAGURA] My guild mates

can handle them.

We have to get to the port!

[ERZA]

What's the situation?

[KAGURA]

Two of the are in town.

The swordswoman and

the Machias alchemist.

But there's one more

who's not left their ship.

It's up to the two of

us to dispose of them.

Right!

[CARLA] You're underdressed

for the b*ttlefield.

Here. Wendy's jacket

should fit you.

I appreciate it, thank you.

[SHELIA]

Wow, it's really tight.

I'm sorry, little girls.

But do you realize where we are?

Careful, Wendy.

I can't quite figure out what

kind of magic she uses.

[DIMARIA]

At least the one with the tail

knows it's a b*ttlefield,

not a playground.

Hargeon used to be a place

where children could play.

Till you got here!

We're gonna make you leave!

So the people here

can live in peace!

[DIMARIA]

I don't care if you're kids,

I show mercy to no one.

The truth is, I could k*ll you

in the blink of an eye.

You wouldn't even

know what hit you!

Get ready, girls!

[DIMARIA] A split second

would last an eternity.

[WALL]

Analysis complete.

His innards are swimming

with Bane Particles,

but his magic power level

is one of the highest

in Fairy Tail.

I can't maintain

the upper hand

on my current "prankster"

personality setting.

So I'll set my program

to "coldhearted."

Enhanced exoskeleton

as*ault mode.

Designating Laxus

as sole target.

Locked on.

Magic fusion reactor ignited.

Estimated time to complete

target elimination, seconds.

Huh?

[ERZA gasps]

What now?

The sky is on fire?

[WALL]

Re-calibrating.

[groans]

att*ck mode: Now engaged.

[LAXUS] Damn it! Gotta

fight through the pain!

[gasps]

[LAXUS screams]

Enemy's survival confirmed.

Activating pursuit system.

Generating missiles. Fire!

[WALL]

Anti-matter laser!

[screaming]

[WALL]

Survival confirmed.

Generating high-voltage cannon.

[gasps]

Oh, no! Electrical att*cks

only feed his magic power.

But they don't affect me at all!

[WALL]

System error.

Exceeded time for complete

elimination. System error.

Damn this pest!

[gasps]

[LAXUS groaning]

[LUCY] The Bane Particles

eating away at Laxus

thr*aten to stop him.

But can he pull off

one last ditch att*ck

that tears down Wall for good?

To the east of Magnolia,

Wendy and Shelia face

off against Dimaria,

the Warrior Queen, and the

odds are not in their favor.

But out of nowhere,

a familiar face appears,

a witch standing before them!

Next Time: "In a Silent Time."

Waiting somewhere

inside eternity,

the traveler of eras

smiles quietly.
