09x315 - Dragon or Demon

[bunniefuu]

[IRENE]

It's over, Erza!

This is how you die!

[laughs]

[ERZA]

I can still move my right arm.

[ERZA]

It's all or nothing!

At some point in time, people

started calling me Titania,

the named shared by

a legendary Fairy Queen.

Honestly, I've never

given that much thought

to what people chose to call me.

But if you're the

Queen of the Dragons...

...then I'll take the

name Titania with pride.

A queen who cherishes her

people and protects them.

I'll do all I can to

help those in need,

even if it ends

up destroying me!

Lend me your strength, Master!

Please!

[yelling]

Erza?

[yells]

[yells]

[gasps]

[gasps]

[IRENE]

That's insane.

[yells]

[IRENE]

It's impossible!

[ERZA]

Get ready!

[IRENE] Maybe you can

cut through a meteor,

but you can't pierce

my dragon scales!

Never!

[WENDY] I can enchant her sword

with Dragon Slayer magic.

[WENDY]

Enchant!

--[ERZA yells]

--[IRENE screams]

[yelling]

Hey. Y'okay?

[IRENE]

You've been a thorn in my side.

But that's all you are to me.

Your pathetic life ends here.

I'll see to that myself!

[gasps]

[BABY crying]

[IRENE sighs]

It's a girl.

I'm so relieved.

With her body,

I can live a new life.

It'll be easy.

Just enchant my

personality into her,

and I'll be free of this curse.

This wretched prison of flesh.

It's finally happening.

[IRENE] After years,

I can be me again.

[IRENE] I'll have a body

without this Dragon Seed

growing inside of it.

Now, it's time for you

to be my vessel.

Stop.

Stop smiling.

Please.

I've endured years

of pain and suffering.

I can't afford to hesitate.

[IRENE]

I've earned this chance.

And this child belongs to me.

[IRENE] I can do whatever

I want with her!

[IRENE gasps]

[IRENE]

Stop it.

Please! Stop smiling!

[IRENE]

Stop smiling!

[grunts]

[ERZA]

I smile....

...because there's

still fight in me!

Amazing.

[IRENE]

Too soft.

You don't know how

to finish a fight.

[ERZA]

My sword... it's gone.

[IRENE]

I have your blade.

Why?

[IRENE]

This is pathetic.

I'm the most powerful woman

in the empire, but still...

I can't go through with it.

I can't k*ll my daughter.

[ERZA]

But why?

Why? Good question.

[IRENE] I've tried to bury

the truth from myself.

I didn't enchant myself

into you back then...

...because I chose not to.

[IRENE]

You were so innocent.

So new.

And so beautiful.

[IRENE] Before I could change

my mind, I chose to abandon you.

[IRENE]

I'm not so naive

to think you'd believe

me after all I've done.

But your smile... reminded me...

Deep down, beneath this

cold shell, this mask...

Inside my heart...

I truly loved you.

[ERZA]

Farewell... mother.

[WENDY]

Erza?

Wendy.

Are you hurt?

I'm way more

worried about you.

Thank you, but... I think

I'm gonna be all right.

I mean, are you...

...are you okay emotionally?

[ERZA] Yeah, that was tough,

but I'll be fine.

You're sweet. Thank you.

[ERZA] Her life was full

of anger born from sorrow.

But the only parent

I've ever known...

...is our Master.

Actually, I've been wondering

about something for a bit.

Why can't I smell Master's scent

on the b*ttlefield anymore?

There are a lot of other

scents all mixed together.

Maybe I just lost him somehow.

[ERZA]

It's okay, Wendy.

I'll always be here for you.

[WENDY]

He's... gone?

So... I'm dying?

Yes.

The Dragon Seed and

Demon Seed are merging.

Which means, your human

life is no more.

But I'm not ready.

There's so much for me to do.

This sucks.

I mean, I still gotta b*at

Zeref and Acnologia.

Aw, man!

Hey! Why'd you do that?

I was already feelin' crappy!

[IGNEEL] I'm not done

talking, so listen closely.

[NATSU]

What is it?

[IGNEEL] Think about

what I just told you.

I clearly said that those

two seeds combining

would spell your death.

So don't let that happen.

You must choose

one or the other.

Choose one? But how?

By reflecting on yourself.

Deep inside, what are you?

[IGNEEL]

Are you a dragon...

[IGNEEL]

...or a demon?

E.N.D. is my most powerful

creation. My legacy.

You'll face the same

choice as Igneel.

To let live or to k*ll.

Either way, I look

forward to it.

Am I a dragon? Or a demon?

I think you may have

found your answer.

Well?

I have.

I'm neither of 'em.

Because I'm human.

I'm Natsu Dragneel!

[IGNEEL]

Hm.

Yes.

I'm impressed, Natsu.

You found the right answer.

[NATSU]

Huh?

[IGNEEL] You were reborn

by a demon's power.

[IGNEEL] And you were raised

under a dragon's care.

But in your heart, you're human.

[IGNEEL] The struggle inside you

caused both seeds to grow,

each trying to take dominance.

Thanks, dad.

And now, you're ready

to move forward.

To walk on your own two feet.

I am.

[NATSU gasps]

[HAPPY, LUCY gasp]

Natsu!

You're alive!

You jerk!

Do you know how worried we were?

[HAPPY]

I was so scared.

I thought you would

never wake up again!

Is there a reason why

you're buck naked, Lucy?

I, uh... I can explain!

[PORLYUSICA]

You were as cold as the grave.

It was all she could do

to try and keep you warm.

[NATSU]

Granny!

You should be thanking

her right now.

I helped, too. I was

petting you the whole time.

You were?

Aw, buddy. Thanks!

Aye-aye, Sir!

Thanks, Lucy!

Of course. No big deal.

How are you feeling, Natsu?

I'm feelin' awesome.

All fired up!

That's great, but--

[NATSU]

Hm?

It's just... If you take

out Zeref, won't you--?

No way! You told her that?

[HAPPY]

Uh...

Don't worry, okay?

I'm gonna be fine.

Really.

A bunch of stuff

went on in my head,

and now, I made up my mind

that I'm human after all.

Boom! Problem solved.

[LUCY]

O-Okay, if you say so.

You know where

Gray and Erza are?

My memory's kinda fuzzy,

but I feel like I did

somethin' bad to 'em.

Gray's probably still

asleep in the next room.

And I think Erza is outside

fighting somewhere.

[ALL gasp]

What the--?

Hang on. We've seen

this light before.

Whoa!

This light.

Irene has fallen.

She must have.

The Universe One

spell is dissipating.

The world is going

back to how it was.

[WIZARDS chattering]

It's Magnolia!

Oh, wow!

It's back to normal again!

I think.

[LUCY]

Uh. Where are we?

We're at my place now?!

Seems perfect to me!

[NATSU] This is where

things usually start.

All we gotta do is

walk down the street...

...and head to Fairy Tail!

Aye, Sir!

[LUCY]

After Irene's defeat by Erza,

Magnolia finally goes back

to how it should be.

Mavis leads the

members of Fairy Tail

as they race to the guild hall

with fire in all their bellies.

Meanwhile, the leader of

the Spriggan , August,

watches them from on high.

But just when order is

restored to the land,

calamity rains down.

Next Time: "Gray's Tr*mp Card."

The end of Ragnarok

is drawing near.
