09x304 - Fairy Tail Zero

[bunniefuu]

[LUCY]

An eerie light illuminated

the entire Kingdom of Fiore,

transporting everyone and

everything to unexpected places.

If you disappear on me,

I'll just have to use my

magic to create you again!

We can still be

together forever.

I know that's what you want,

but it only worked

the first time

because you weren't aware of it.

If you know I'm an illusion,

it can't be like before.

Hey, Mavis.

You know where you can

find a fairy, don't you?

[MAVIS]

Yeah. Inside my heart.

It's true. And I'll be there.

[gasps]

[ZERA]

I'm not leaving you.

I'll always be in

your heart. Forever.

Promise me you'll

always be my friend.

Cross my heart.

[MAVIS]

I'm not leaving you.

[MAVIS]

Cana? Cana? Where are you?

[MAVIS] I'm having a little

bit of trouble moving around,

but I'll manage.

Cana!

That's good. My

magic still works.

Now I need to get upstairs.

[MAVIS]

Huh? There's not a soul in here.

That strange light earlier.

What's going on?

Zeref!

Hello, Mavis.

Everybody's disappeared.

What'd you do?

[ZEREF] I assure you,

I had no part in that.

Nor did I expect to

be here right now.

Honestly, the whole

situation is perplexing.

So, why are you here?

The question is,

why are you alive?

[gasps]

What in the hell is going on?!

I don't even know where I am!

Well, right now

you're on top of me.

Me, too.

Didn't even realize

you were here.

The last thing I

remember is being hit

by August's fire spell.

Please stop groping me.

His spell? No way.

I cancelled that out.

I mean, mostly.

Were you really

able to dispel it?

Yeah, pretty much.

Luckily, it was a

little heat magic.

Now cancel out

your grabby hands!

[HAPPY]

It's weird.

I gotta wonder, how in the heck

did we end up

wherever we are now?

I can't get a whiff

of Mest or Brandish.

Nope. No trace of August.

What in the world

could've happened?

The landscape changed

somehow. Or maybe...

Were we transported somewhere?

[JUVIA]

Gray, darling.

Sorry, but I can't find

Wendy or Carla anywhere.

[GRAY]

I'll go out and look for 'em.

You take care of Erza.

[JUVIA]

Okay.

[WENDY]

Hey, Gray! Juvia!

Where are you guys?

What'll we do?

We all got separated.

[WENDY]

I can't even smell them.

They must be far away.

[MAKAROV]

What in blazes was that?

[JET]

We're outside?!

But we were just

in the guild hall!

[DROY]

Yeah, where the heck are we?

I'm totally confused!

[WAKABA] We seem to be

missing some folks!

The First Master! Does

anybody know where she is?

This is so crazy.

What's up with the map?

Can you even figure out where

we are on that doohickey?

Uh...

What's everybody doing here?

Wait. What?

Yeah, Mira and Lisanna

weren't with us before.

[MIRAJANE]

The sky lit up and here we are.

That's exactly what

happened to us.

Hey, you guys! Enemy forces!

And they're super close!

Whoa! Really?

They're startin'

to come this way!

What now?

We must prepare to do battle!

[FAIRY TAIL yelling]

Fiore looks wrong.

[BRANDISH] I was able

to shrink your wound,

so that should help a bit.

August, what'd you do?

It's not my magic.

Irene's cast a

compression spell.

So what does that mean?

[AUGUST] She used her power to

enchant this entire landmass,

and then altered its shape.

[BRANDISH]

The whole kingdom?

Everyone in Fiore has

randomly changed locations

as a result of this enchantment.

Universe One.

[BRANDISH]

But why would she do that?

[AUGUST] I understand this

to be a side effect

of moving specific individuals

to specific locations.

My guess is that she

moved His Majesty

close to the Fairy Heart,

and Acnologia as far

away as possible.

She's trying to speed up the

final conflict and end the w*r.

[ZEREF]

Anyway.

You likely know why I'm here,

but how I got here

is another matter.

The game board has

been re-arranged.

The players have moved.

A result of Fiore

itself being shrunk.

It's now /th

of its original size.

Perhaps even smaller.

[MAVIS] Was that to increase

the probability of clashes

between our forces?

[ZEREF]

Ah, that tactical mind.

It seems Irene wishes to

bring an end to the w*r

in her own special way.

And as good fortune

would have it...

...I'm now face to face

with the Fairy Heart.

I must say, that went

better than expected.

That was my first try.

His Majesty is now at

Fairy Tail's headquarters,

and hopefully, Acnologia

is across the sea.

I admit, there is a curious

feeling of excitement

in not knowing exactly

where I ended up, either.

But maybe... you'll tell me?

This woman, where'd

she come from?

Hey. Who are you?

[LUCY]

The light moved us.

It took us to unfamiliar places.

Look!

[LUCY]

Fiore had been twisted.

Nothing in the kingdom was

where it should've been.

[LUCY] Mercurius next

to Kardia Cathedral?

[NATSU] I don't remember

them bein' this close.

[LUCY] Yeah, because

they're supposed to be

hundreds of miles

from each other!

[LUCY]

It was like we had wandered

into an alternate world.

But what would we

find waiting for us?

Hope or despair?

[GAJEEL coughing]

[GAJEEL]

Huh? Where am I?

Because I think... I d*ed.

Hey, you there.

We in hell, or what?

[ZERA]

That's so rude!

You see me and then

assume we're in hell?

Huh?

[GAJEEL]

Who are you?

My name is Zera.

And I'm one of

the first Fairies.

[ZERA grunting]

Oh my gosh! This is so hard!

I'm just not very

good with people.

You're tellin' me.

So, this place has gotta

be either heaven or hell.

Which one?

[ZERA] It's neither?

Because you're still alive?

[GAJEEL]

Huh?

[ZERA]

You got lucky.

Someone out there cast a

spell that warped the land

and moved everybody around

completely at random.

And right before you got sucked

into the underworld,

you were transported

here instead.

Just in the nick of time, huh?

[grunts]

You kiddin' me?

I wanted us to be

together forever.

[gasps]

[GAJEEL] If this ain't the

afterlife, then where are we?

[ZERA] Fairy Tail's sacred

ground, Tenrou Island.

But it's not really

an island anymore

because it's connected

to the mainland now.

And who are you?

[ZERA]

I told you! I'm Zera!

Never heard of you before.

[growls]

Jeez, Mavis. You really never

told the guild about me?

That hurts my feelings.

Anyway, in another

coincidence,

Mavis finally woke up

from her long sleep.

It happened just

a little while ago.

And when she woke up,

I was reborn.

Uh, maybe "revived" is

a better way to put it.

[GAJEEL]

Huh?

[ZERA] In other words,

Mavis' magic power

and consciousness

were instantly reset.

I was automatically

regenerated as well,

but only for a short time.

[GAJEEL]

I don't totally get it,

but you're sayin'

somethin' like,

you came back to life

because she woke up?

Kind of. I guess that's

one way to put it.

But I'll only be

around temporarily.

I'd be willing to bet that

the moment Mavis remembers me,

I'll probably disappear again.

But no matter how

long I'm here for,

I need to make the most

of the time I have.

I gotta figure out exactly what

I can do to help her out.

Wait a second!

This is actually

happening, isn't it?

You can see and hear me, right?

Well, yeah.

Your magic's gotten stronger,

Mavis. I'm so proud!

Not to be rude,

but this ain't really the best

time to be sh**t' the breeze.

You're right.

And since I'm an

original guild member,

I say, let's go and

protect Fairy Tail.

[LUCY]

How in the heck are they

right next to each

other like that?

I don't know.

They look like they're

in two different cities.

Did they merge somehow?

[HAPPY] I don't see the

guild hall anywhere.

Or any other buildings.

It's like the rest of

Magnolia disappeared!

[NATSU]

What?

[LUCY]

That's crazy!

Wait. That smell.

Someone's here!

[JUVIA, GRAY gasp]

'Sup, Gray?

[LUCY, HAPPY]

Good to see ya!

Hey.

So glad we found you.

[NATSU]

What's goin' on with her?

Erza? She had a

pretty brutal fight.

[JUVIA] We were trying to

get her back to the guild.

[LUCY] Yeah, that's where

we were going, too.

[HAPPY]

I'm super worried about Carla.

[GRAY] Problem is, we don't

know what direction it's in.

[NATSU]

This sucks!

[ARCADIOS] She defeated us...

in less than a second.

How? How could she

be so powerful?

[IRENE]

Hmph.

[TOMA]

I beg of you.

Please, miss.

Do whatever you wish

with me, but spare her.

Please spare my only daughter!

[TOMA]

Don't hurt her!

Hisui!

No, not my princess!

What...? What have

you done to her?

Turned into a mouse? Dear god.

Oh, no. Hisui.

[IRENE] Can you still

love her in that form?

Love her despite the fact

she's a disgusting rodent?

Yes, of course.

No matter what she may look

like, she's still my child.

Oh, Hisui.

I promise I will get you

back to normal somehow.

[IRENE]

I'm wasting time here.

[gasps]

What is this?

Natsu! See that? Whoa.

[NATSU gasps]

[JUVIA gasps]

An eye?

A huge one!

That scarlet hair.

Can't be.

[SOLDIERS yelling]

Damn it all!

--How can there be so many?

--[SOLDIER A] It's a giant!

[SOLDIER B]

That's their master!

[SOLDIER C]

Keep fighting! g*ng up on 'em!

[SOLDIER D] We'll drive

'em all over the cliff!

Not if I can help it!

Let's make 'em scatter!

Get outta the way!

Come on, Jet!

Oh, yeah!

You can try, but you'll

never keep up with me!

[JET laughs]

[gasps]

Oh, crap!

Hey.

What is this? How did I get

sticky all of a sudden?

Not good!

[ALL]

What is this stuff?

[FAIRY TAIL gasping, grunting]

[JULIET]

These Fairies are so weak.

I can't believe it.

Irene's division is here.

[SOLDIER E]

It's Juliet! And Heine!

[SOLDIER F]

There's no stopping us now!

You wanna off Makarov?

No, idiot!

You eat the appetizers,

then the main course!

Hm?

Plus, there's someone else

here with crazy power.

[sighs]

Ooh. What a cutie.

Let's see who can k*ll

her first. Sound fun?

[SOLDIERS yelling]

Master Mavis is alone at

the guild hall. Let's go!

I have no idea

where it is anymore!

[ZERA]

Listen up!

To get to the guild hall,

start heading north, now!

[BOTH gasp]

Who is that?

It's like it's coming

from inside my head.

Mine, too!

Recognize them?

I've never heard her before.

[ZERA] You need to assemble

at the guild hall

before it's too late!

The enemy may have

separated you,

but you have to

come together now!

[NATSU]

I think the guild's that way!

[LUCY]

Sounds like we should get there.

[HAPPY]

Aye!

[GRAY] But can we really

trust some random voice?

[JUVIA] What if they're trying

to steal you from me?

[ZERA] Mavis is in trouble.

Go and help her!

I know she's like a

mother to all of you,

so don't waste any time

and get over there!

It's your duty to protect her!

Let's go!

She told us where it was.

Did anyone understand it?

That way!

But still...

This voice...

I wonder who it is,

and why they care.

Who gives a crap, man?

Let's head out!

[LUCY groans]

Came off pretty bossy, ya know?

I think you could've

sounded a little sweeter,

maybe even said please.

You sure you're friends

with our First Master?

[LEVY gasps]

[LEVY]

It's him.

I just heard Gajeel!

Me, too! That's awesome!

So that voice is

really on our side.

Back to the guild, you guys!

We've got work to do!

He's alive.

Head north! Let's go

help the First Master!

[FAIRY TAIL yelling]

Hey. Where's Elfman?

Don't know. He's not here.

I'm worried. He must've

gotten separated from us.

I'm kinda worried, too.

But wherever he is, I just hope

he was able to hear that voice.

[JULIET yells]

What is all this stuff?

It's so sticky!

[MIRAJANE gasps]

Mira!

Mine!

[MIRAJANE yells]

No fair! She was s'posed

to be my snack!

[MIRAJANE] Lisanna. I want you

to go with the others.

[LISANNA]

You sure?

I can handle them by myself.

It's fine, I've got it.

Okay.

That's ridiculous. You can't

take us down on your own.

Prepare to die, fool.

I'll k*ll you, while she

watches and takes notes.

[LECTOR] So, uh, does anybody

have a clue where we are?

[FROSCH] There's a mountain,

a forest, and a river!

[ELFMAN] Well, Fairy Tail's

supposed to be this way.

[YUKINO] Is that what

the nice voice told you?

[LECTOR]

Was it nice?

[FROSCH]

I think so!

Yeah, well, Elfman

was the only one

who actually heard it, so...

I didn't hear a single

word they said.

Guessin' only Fairy Tail members

could hear it or something.

If that's true,

are you sure it's okay we're

coming to the guild with you?

Aw, I wanna see Rogue.

Well, if Sting

and the rest of 'em

are with other people

from Fairy Tail,

they're probably heading to

the guild hall, too, like us.

Right?

With Rogue?

There's no other option. Just

gotta trust the voice for now.

[YUKINO]

Yeah.

[ALL]

Huh?

[ELFMAN]

Who's that?

[LECTOR] I don't know,

but whoever it is,

I hope they're friendly.

[FROSCH]

Rogue?

You're my big sister.

It's you.

Huh?

Seems like they know each other?

I think so, too.

--[ELFMAN, LECTOR] I see.

--Yeah!

[ALL]

Huh?!

This oughtta keep you busy!

It's nice and sticky!

Ugh. This slime.

It's burning me.

[chuckles]

[MIRAJANE screams]

Take that!

[MIRAJANE]

I underestimated them.

They're way stronger

than I thought.

It's stupid to show your

full power right off the bat.

No duh.

[MIRAJANE]

Heh. Oh, I agree.

Which is why I saved

something as a surprise.

[MIRAJANE]

Satan Soul...

...Form Alegria.

No.

What the--? Uh-oh.

We fought against Tartaros,

and I collected many souls

before it was all over.

I practically lost count.

[gasps]

[JULIET]

Whoa! That's terrifying!

She boiled away the sea

with her power!

She's a monster!

Heard that one before.

But I'd say I'm actually

more of a demon.

Still, though...

[HEINE, JULIET scream]

I don't like being called

either by people I don't know.

[MIRAJANE] That used up

so much magic power.

I'm drained.

Please stay down.

That's more than

enough for today.

--[whoosh]

--[gasps]

[MIRAJANE gasps]

[MIRAJANE]

Black and white swords?

This magic...

Someone enchanted those

swords to have personalities.

It's hard to believe.

To think there's a wizard

with that kind of power.

[LUCY] Mirajane defeated Irene's

top two soldiers in a flash.

But before she has a chance

to rest or celebrate,

the Scarlet Despair

herself closes in.

Meanwhile, the Fairy

Tail members

who were scattered

all over Fiore

make their way to save

the First Master.

But the invading enemy force

gathers its m*llitary might

to prevent them from

reaching their destination.

Next Time: "White Dragneel."

The life-or-death battle

for our future rages on.
