09x302 - The Third Seal

So, this August guy.

I gotta wonder what

kinda wizard he is.

Well, please, don't do

anything to test him.

The whole point is to negotiate.

You'd be obliterated before

you even knew what hit you.

So keep that in mind.

Aye, Sir.

The August I know is

kind and warmhearted,

and I believe he's the most

reasonable member of the .

However, he's also quite loyal.

His support for the emperor

will be hard to sway.

So how are you gonna get past

that major sticking point?

[BRANDISH]

No idea.

[LUCY yelps]

[NATSU]

Hm?

Ya can't hide, Mest.

I know you're there.

[LUCY, MEST gasps]

What do you expect?

I can't believe you'd put

all your trust in this girl.

Just get over it. It's not

like she's a bad person.

[MEST] But did you have to take

off her Magic Sealstone?

She's still our

prisoner, ya know!

Don't worry about

the details, man!

Natsu, is there

anything going on

inside that spiky

head of yours?

[BRANDISH] Are we really

gonna walk all the way there?

I'm not gettin' in a vehicle!

[HAPPY] And I can only

carry one person at a time.

I know what we can do.

[HAPPY]

Aye!

You're huge!

Ah, yeah! That is awesome!

Seems like we can ride him now.

So jump on this

big ball of fluff.

[LUCY]

Is she making a cutesy face?

Whoa! Hey, lady, can

you make me big, too?

[yelps]

Oh, wow! This rules!

I feel so freakin' cool

right now, you guys!

[NATSU]

Yeah, man! That is totally cool!

Please let me down!

I'm terrified!

[CANA panting]

Cana, come on.

Get serious and hit me

with all you've got.

But you're my friend.

I can't just att*ck you.

I get that you're only

a projection, but still.

You know, you're a lot

like my best friend.

She had long, brown hair, too.

[CANA] You think that

makes us "a lot" alike?

[MAVIS] She d*ed when

she was very young.

But even after she

was gone physically,

she was still there for me.

Her spirit gave me the

strength to keep going.

[MAVIS]

If Zera had lived,

I think she probably would've

grown up to be like you.

Oh, yeah?

[grunts]

Actually, forget I said that.

Damn, that's so rude!

Zera's in my heart.

So even to this day,

she's with me.

But not inside of

this empty projection.

She lives in my real heart.

Cana, we both need your help.

You're the only one who

can free me and Zera

from this crystal coffin.

So please...

[MAVIS]

You aren't "attacking" anybody.

You're using your power

to save a friend.

[LISANNA, MIRAJANE yell]

[ELFMAN growls]

Man, there are a

lot of these jokers.

But... I got somethin'

for all of 'em!

[GAJEEL]

Karmic Demon... Iron God Sword!

[SOLDIERS screaming]

[crying]

[ROGUE] Come on, Sting,

you have to snap out of it.

It's all my fault.

I'm nothing but a screw-up.

I'm supposed to be the

master of our guild.

[YUKINO]

You are our master, Sting.

And that means, when things

get as dark as they are now,

you lead us out of it.

Yukino.

You can do it. I know

you have what it takes.

I'm sorry. That

must've been painful.

[YUKINO]

No, uh.

I mean, I slapped you, so

wouldn't that hurt you more?

[STING]

Having to do something like that

because your master is pathetic

is the painful part of it.

Uh, you're not pathetic.

I'm sorry. I just didn't

know what to do.

Someone needed to knock

some sense into me.

We gotta learn from this

experience and grow stronger.

If you can still

walk, follow me!

We're tigers, yeah?

We're hungry for a fight!

And right now,

it's feeding time!

[SABERTOOTH]

Yeah!

Let's do this!

[SOLDIERS screaming]

You win! Stop! Sorry for

lookin' at your panties!

We'll fight for Mister Ichiya!

Our hero! A man who was

way too young to die!

Ichiya's still alive!

[SOLDIER B]

Whoa!

[SOLDIER C]

What's happening?

[SOLDIER D]

We're floating!

Yi Ragdo!

[MINERVA] Those savages

made our master weep.

No mercy.

Feel better, Master Crybaby?

Call me whatever

you want. Who cares?

Don't you start!

[JULIET]

Hmmm.

The ones who were taken prisoner

seem like they're

doing better now.

Should we att*ck them?

What do you think, my lady?

Bloodman and Larcade

are drawing near.

They'll handle it.

[WIZARDS, SOLDIERS yelling]

Bill, no!

[WIZARDS groaning]

[WIZARD D]

Everyone's dying! What is this?

[WIZARD A]

Uh! The Grim Reaper!

[WIZARD E]

Run!

[WIZARD F]

The Grim Reaper's coming back!

[WIZARD G]

He's gonna crucify us again!

[WIZARD H] I don't think

I'd survive it this time!

[ALL gasp]

No way.

We'll get revenge for you.

They'll be pickin' their

teeth up off the ground.

[GAJEEL]

How do you like bein' crucified?

For me, this is just bringin'

up some bad memories.

Better than what

your future holds.

[BLOODMAN]

You have touched death.

There will be no reprieve,

and no escape.

You think so?

Which means this must

be my lucky day!

Because I was

gettin' pretty sick

of lookin' for a place to die.

Now, Juliet, Heine. Go join

them on the front line.

Yes, ma'am!

[JULIET]

What? How come?

You just said Bloodman and

Larcade would handle everything.

Show some respect.

When our lady gives an order,

we follow it. Idiot.

Our third guest will

be arriving shortly.

Our third guest?

Yes.

The horses and tigers,

those were our first guests.

The fairies were

today's second guests.

Soon, we'll be meeting

a third group.

And this one could

be a bit of trouble.

[ANGEL]

Here we are!

The mobile temple Olympia

has joined the party!

Our lawless days are done.

And now we're a force for

justice. We're Crime Sorciere!

What the hell?

I thought this was

a snowy mountain.

[COBRA] I just wanna

be on solid ground.

[gasps]

Something wrong, Yukino?

Nothing. Don't worry about me.

[IRENE] But the most troublesome

of all will be our fourth guest.

Another one?

Seems like too many to me!

[IRENE] This guest is

neither friend nor foe.

I shall have to deal

with them personally.

I don't know who they are, but

they're already being stupid.

Yeah, Lady Irene's a

High Enchanter after all,

so they're in for it.

Sucks for them.

Bein' huge is pretty

awesome, huh?

[HAPPY]

Aye!

I've never felt this cool!

Could you turn him back?!

So fluffy!

[BRANDISH] Sorry, Lucy, I just

did what he asked me to.

But the way he looks is

really freaking me out!

[BRANDISH]

He seems to enjoy it.

[gasping]

[screams]

[growls]

Stop playing around with

people's bodies, would ya?

I'm not sure why,

but you're definitely the

most fun to mess with, Lucy.

Ain't she?

We don't have time to be

playing these foolish games.

[gasps]

Whoa, you feel that?

Magic power.

There's no mistaking him.

Wait. You can't be serious.

He's this strong?

That's why he's called

the Wizard King.

I'm fired up now!

Natsu, we're here to talk, okay?

I've got a bad feeling

about this guy.

[COBRA groans]

[COBRA]

Have we stopped movin' yet?

'Cause I still feel

like I'm gonna hurl.

You'll feel better soon. It just

might take a moment or two.

However, in the meantime,

I think we should start flexing

the Olympia's muscle

a little bit.

Mobile temple Olympia,

main cannon engage! 'Kay?

[SOLDIERS screaming]

Be careful! They're

f*ring cannons!

Hang on! Looks like they're

targeting the invaders!

Does that mean it's

on our side? Awesome!

[WIZARD O] We've got some

serious backup now, guys!

[WIZARD P]

Yeah! But who is it?

Is something the matter?

You're not injured, are you?

Yukino, you can leave

the front line if need be.

[YUKINO]

No, it's nothing.

I'm sorry. I'll be okay.

[YUKINO] For some reason,

I've got this strange sensation.

Our fourth guest will

be arriving any moment.

We need to be prepared for them.

Seems His Majesty's little

strategy game has ended.

A more straightforward att*ck

would've already resulted

in victory, I'm sure.

But now, the game board

has been broken

by someone who doesn't

play by the rules.

Acnologia and his

wings of darkness.

A black dragon

coming to the spot

where the white

maiden prevailed.

As if seeking revenge.

But I know the last laugh

will belong to me.

The scarlet maiden.

After all, I'm known in some

places as the "Scarlet Despair."

There must be a more

charming name than that.

[IRENE chuckles]

My Bane Particles spell doom

for any wizard who inhales them.

Soon, you'll feel the sensation

of your organs liquefying.

Yeah, I don't think so,

'cause my lungs

are made of iron!

Excellent news.

It's been too long

since I've faced a truly

challenging opponent!

Iron Dragon Spear!

My body is made

of Bane Particles,

so touching me will

seal your doom.

I am a god of death! Dragging

all I face into the underworld!

[GAJEEL screaming]

Perhaps you can survive this.

But what about those

without your gifts?

Everyone get away, right now!

Don't come near him!

[BLOODMAN] My legion of the

dead will consume your soul!

All these bones. Ah, damn it!

[LEVY]

Solid Script Shine!

Some type of light? Holy magic?

[GAJEEL]

What the--?

[LEVY]

I'm not gonna leave you!

Levy! You gotta go!

Uh! Good thinkin'.

I don't wanna hear

you say things

like you're lookin'

for a place to die.

Uh, that was just fight talk.

I was trying to sound

cool and intimidating.

What's that look?

I didn't mean it!

This is serious.

Your life is important to me.

You can't die.

So watch what you say.

Those who oppose me

cannot escape death.

I'll drag your souls

through the gates of hell.

For I am death.

And this promise of life

you cling to will be broken

without any mercy.

[ZEREF]

Hmm.

Now what is this?

The magic energy of the

very land has changed.

Irene. Just what are

you planning to do?

[AUGUST] Tell me. What

is the meaning of this?

[BRANDISH] I've come here

to negotiate with you.

I assume the enemies

k*lled Jacob?

[BRANDISH]

He's been defeated.

However, instead of k*lling him,

they've taken him prisoner.

God Serena, where has he gone?

He's confined to our memory.

I thought Brandish's

magic power was crazy,

but August is on a

whole other level.

[NATSU growls]

It's like night and day.

[MEST] I think they're putting

that extremely lightly.

I mean, the power coming from

him is not even of this world.

[AUGUST] So then, what do

you mean by "negotiate"?

[BRANDISH]

I'd like you to walk away.

[AUGUST]

Hmm.

It doesn't appear to me

that you've been tortured,

which leads me to wonder...

What's brought about this

betrayal of our homeland?

I'm not betraying anyone.

I'm still devoted to Alvarez.

However, I feel like there's

no meaning to this w*r.

[AUGUST] So you'd dare

act in direct opposition

to His Majesty's wishes.

We've pledged our lives

in service to the emperor.

If you cannot comprehend why

His Majesty wages this w*r,

then you are among the enemy.

[GAJEEL]

Hey.

That mask you made for yourself,

you positive it's gonna work?

It's Solid Script magic,

so of course I'm positive.

[BLOODMAN]

When the first seal is broken,

Bane Particles drain

your magic power.

The second opens a gate

to the underworld

beneath this field of corpses.

Upon breaking the third seal,

the god of death renders

judgment upon you.

And when that happens,

you are condemned down

to the land of the dead.

I get that you're

tryin' to be scary,

but your magic power is a joke.

You got nothin' on the

rest of the , do ya?

That's because I wield

the power of curses.

So does that mean

what I think it does?

I control what rises from

the depths of Tartaros.

Curse Power... expl*si*n Spiral!

[LEVY screaming]

[GAJEEL screaming]

Tenka Goken! Onimaru!

[roars]

[BLOODMAN]

Unleash... Dark Deluge!

Are you kiddin' me?!

This again?

[GAJEEL] Aw, man, can he use

all the Tartaros curses?

[LEVY]

Maybe.

But I'm not falling for

the same trick twice!

Solid Script Hole!

Nice one, Levy!

[GAJEEL]

Iron Dragon Roar!

[BLOODMAN]

Ice Demon Rage!

[BLOODMAN] Behold, a curse

beyond the Nine Demons.

To the underworld.

To the underworld.

The dead begin to scurry.

Damn it!

The third seal breaks

as judgment is rendered.

[BLOODMAN]

Over Skelter!

[GAJEEL screaming]

[LEVY screaming]

Levy!

My death vortex... How

could they have escaped it?

[coughing]

[gasps] Oh, no! Your mask!

You gotta get it back on, now!

[LEVY]

I'm sorry. I was bluffing.

The truth is... it never worked

[gasps]

[LEVY] Bane Particles

don't just get inhaled,

they're absorbed

through the skin, too.

I guess I never had

a chance, huh?

Then why in the hell

did you even come here?!

I hoped I could save you...

[gasps] Levy!

[LUCY] As Levy succumbs

to the poisonous cloud

of Bloodman's Bane Particles,

Gajeel has to risk everything

to b*at the god of death

and save her life.

He struggles against this

powerful, curse-wielding foe

in a battle which could

very well be his last.

With his iron fists swinging,

he fights to protect

everything dear to him.

Next Time: "Together, Always."

Gajeel holds tightly to

the dream of a future

filled with happiness.
