09x325 - World Destruction

[bunniefuu]

Natsu.

Come on. Where'd ya go?

[GRAY] Look, this isn't

the time for jokes, man!

[crying]

[LUCY]

Why?

I rewrote it and everything.

So why?

Please! Come back!

No way!

[LUCY]

Natsu!

[gasps]

What is that?

A cr*ck in the sky?

[cracking]

[gasps]

[WIZARDS murmuring]

That's strange. Now what?

[WIZARD A]

Oh, no. That dragon.

[WIZARD B]

Is he coming back?

No, that's impossible.

Ichiya and Anna gave their lives

to seal him away for good.

[gasps]

[WIZARDS gasp]

The cr*ck's getting bigger!

[WIZARDS scream]

[ACNOLOGIA laughing]

[gasps]

Oh, no!

I'm overflowing with power.

It feels like when

I mastered the art

of dragon slaying

all those years ago.

I was a king before,

but I've become a god!

This world and everything

in it... is my dominion!

Did he consume the time rift?

I can't believe it!

How could this be?

[ACNOLOGIA laughs]

[ACNOLOGIA] Oh, yes. I wield

the power of time itself.

This immense magic energy

cannot be controlled!

I will erase all of humanity!

Eternal Flare!

Everyone! Out of the way!

[WIZARDS screaming]

[screams]

[ALL screaming]

[WIZARD D screams]

[WENDY screams]

[ERZA] Is this it?

Is this how the world ends?

[ERZA]

No.

[ERZA] I refuse to let

our world and our future

be taken from us!

[ERZA screams]

[gasps]

Everyone! Be strong!

[gasps]

What is it?

Wendy!

[ERZA gasps]

[gasps]

[gasps]

No, please.

No!

[screaming]

Wendy!

What's he doing to her?

And now, the final step

of dragon slaying begins.

What does he mean by

that? "Final step"?

[ERZA]

Wendy!

All dragons will be eliminated.

I'll pull them into

my temporal realm!

[BOTH gasp]

[BOTH gasp]

[ERZA]

She's gone!

[laughing]

[gasps]

Laxus!

[BIXLOW gasps]

Gajeel!

What in the hell is happening?

No!

[GAJEEL screams]

Stay away!

[gasps]

[GAJEEL] I feel like...

something's pulling me!

[COBRA grunting]

No! Gajeel!

[LEVY]

What was that? Where did he go?

I wonder, was it only them?

[LECTOR]

Something horrible has happened!

[FROSCH]

It's really bad!

Please! Help!

Sting and Rogue just

disappeared all of a sudden!

They just vanished!

[LEVY gasps]

Hey, they're all Dragon Slayers.

So that can't just be

a coincidence.

[FRIED gasps]

[BIXLOW gasps]

[HAPPY]

Natsu!

Come back!

No way.

[LUCY]

Natsu!

Hold on, where am I?

[ACNOLOGIA]

You're inside a rift in time.

And in this realm, I am god!

[chuckles]

[gasps]

[NATSU] I know this feeling,

and I know who you are.

You're Acnologia.

And you're the last to join me.

[rumbling]

Huh?

[gasps]

[NATSU]

Wendy!

Gajeel!

[NATSU]

What's goin' on here?

We're all Dragon Slayers!

This rift is like

nothing in the world.

It's granted me the

power of time itself.

Beyond this temporal realm,

I shall destroy the world.

And within this realm,

I shall destroy the last

remnants of the dragons.

[growls]

[NATSU]

I've heard enough of your crap!

You will now take your

place among the others

as a sacrificial pillar.

Where's Wendy? What

have you done with her?

[ERZA] You're just going

to run away? You coward!

He's heading towards town.

Magnolia.

Damn you!

[ERZA gasps]

Man!

Is that them?

They're still alive!

I don't understand.

How did you survive that?

Honestly... I don't know,

but I'm grateful.

[WIZARDS chattering]

What happened to Wendy?

[ERZA]

I'm not quite sure,

but Acnologia somehow

made her disappear.

Should've known.

I fear the joyous ending I'd

hoped for won't come to pass.

But why? What changed?

[ANNA]

I made a huge miscalculation.

I never considered he could

actually consume the time rift.

And now it would appear the

cost of the enormous power

he's gained was

a loss of control.

Acnologia has been split

into two separate forms:

Flesh and spirit.

He has?

What do you think he'll do?

[ANNA] His physical form will

wreak havoc in this world

while his spirit tries

to maintain a balance

from inside the rift.

A balance?

We weren't necessary in

maintaining that balance,

thus, ejected.

But Dragon Slayers

play a vital role.

He's going to circulate their

magic power throughout the rift

in an attempt to

stabilize his own.

[gasps]

[groaning]

All the Dragon Slayers

are trapped in there?

Inside the rift?

Well, there has to be

a way to save them!

Only thing we can do is

pray they save themselves.

[JELLAL]

Where are you going?

[ERZA]

To Magnolia!

You're swimming there?

[ERZA] I have faith in

Natsu and the others!

But that dragon is headed

straight towards my guild--

towards my home!

They need my help!

It's Mest!

I'll get us there much faster.

[NATSU groaning]

[ACNOLOGIA]

Restoring balance using

the Dragon Slayers' power.

Amusing, yet fascinating.

No! I can't move my right hand!

[GRAY gasps]

Erza!

Come with us!

No time to explain. Let's hurry!

But... Natsu.

Natsu's still alive.

[NATSU yelling]

He's alive? But I thought...

Really?

What in the hell is goin' on?

What happened to him?

[gasps]

Master?

I'm sorry for the worry

I caused you, Erza.

It's okay.

[GRAY, LUCY, HAPPY chuckle]

All right, listen up.

[NATSU groaning]

Why the hell can't

I make any fire?!

Come on, damnit!

You stood against the legendary

Black Wizard himself.

I find it rather surprising

you walked away

with your life after that fight.

[MAKAROV]

You're saying that Natsu

and the rest of

the Dragon Slayers

are currently trapped inside

this mysterious rift in time,

and what's more, Acnologia's

spirit's in there with them?

That means all

they gotta do now

is b*at him, and then

they'll get out!

Since Laxus is in there,

it'll be no problem!

I wouldn't say that.

No one's ever beaten Acnologia.

That's true.

Even if they are alive,

we don't know if they're

badly injured, or what.

Poor Wendy.

Don't cry! I'm sure

they'll all be okay!

Gajeel.

I'm scared for Sting.

Rogue, too.

There's another issue

to deal with.

Acnologia's flesh form

is heading this way.

So now he's got a spirit form

and some kinda flesh form, too?

Is Erik also trapped there?

Hm?

Whoa, I get it now!

Not good.

To put it in other words,

what you're trying to tell us,

is it completely hopeless?

[CARLA]

I still have hope!

I know Wendy is fighting.

And we're going to have

to fight as well.

Natsu.

Stay strong.

[NATSU screaming]

[NATSU yelling]

[gasps]

[NATSU yells]

My fire... It's back.

I can protect us with sky magic!

[NATSU]

Wendy!

How did you break

outta that crystal?

I heard Carla's voice,

and then I sorta just did it.

I heard Levy and Lily

a second ago, too.

Yeah, I pretty much

hear everything.

We could all hear the voices of

people rooting for us out there.

And that bond gives

us our strength.

[chuckles]

Huh?

Well, guys, it's dragon

hunting time. You with me?

[chuckles]

Let's hunt that dragon!

[OTHERS]

Yeah!

It would seem you fools

need to learn a lesson.

One I'll gladly teach you.

Why I'm known as

the Dragon King!

[LUCY]

Inside the time rift,

and with the fate of the world

hanging in the balance,

the seven Dragon Slayers

begin their hunt.

Meanwhile, in Magnolia,

Acnologia's physical form

continues to wreak

havoc and devastation,

leading up to an att*ck

that could obliterate

everything in sight.

Who will win this return of

the Dragon King Festival,

humankind or dragon-kind?

Next Time: "Magic of Hope."

The battle for tomorrow is

about to take a brand new turn.
