Ahh... The pain is
beginning to fade.
As always, I sincerely thank you
for patching me up, Doctor.
It warms my heart to know that
there are humans among us
that have your level of
kindness and understanding.
Of course.
But I'm afraid that you give me
much more credit than I deserve.
I can stop the bleeding,
but not heal you.
The protection that you
dragons give us is invaluable.
Although some disagree.
And I think of you
as nothing less
than our divine
guardian, Acnologia.
[PROTON ACNOLOGIA]
Doctor,
I heard an unsettling rumor
during my recent travels.
There's talk of a new type of
magic on the western continent,
with the sole purpose
of k*lling dragons.
Our future will be filled
with needless fighting
and unimaginable slaughter.
I can feel it in my scales.
[DOCTOR] Humans taking
arms against dragons?
Who has such hubris?
It would be impossible.
Foolish, at the very least.
However, this dragon-k*lling
magic has the potential
for great harm.
If such terrifying sorcery
exists, I couldn't protect you.
I'm simply not strong
enough for that.
I barely have enough magic
power to tend to you now.
If only I were stronger.
What matters most is heart,
not strength.
Never lose sight of that fact.
Doctor, I intend to travel
west to see for myself
if there's any truth to
this "dragon-k*lling" magic.
If it's real, it poses a
thr*at to lands like ours
where dragons and humans
coexist peacefully.
We could be caught in a
long and bloody conflict.
[DOCTOR]
Go with care, Acnologia.
I will be praying
for your safe return.
Humans committing v*olence
against the dragons.
This dragon slaying magic...
sounds like fantasy, but...
If it is true, it leaves me
with an overwhelming feeling--
one of dread.
[DOCTOR] I'm not strong
enough to fight it.
[DOCTOR] Acnologia did
return to our hidden land,
and he brought death
and destruction with him.
Let's do this!
[OTHERS]
Yeah!
You can hear me, right, Cobra?
Now that's a stupid question!
All physical abilities
will now be enhanced
with my Deus Eques!
Oh, yeah! This is awesome!
This power's incredible.
Never underestimate
what a shrimp can do!
[GAJEEL chuckles]
Iron Dragon Sword!
[gasps]
[BOTH yell]
Poison Dragon...!
Lightning Dragon...!
Fire Dragon...!
Come on, you guys!
Stay with me!
[COBRA] This guy's mind...
Total silence.
I can't hear it!
Get outta the way, Natsu!
[gasps]
That sucked.
Crazy.
We knew that this
wouldn't be easy.
Thought we'd get in
a few hits, at least.
He's barely even moved
since we started.
He's powerful.
But don't give up.
[NATSU]
Hmph.
I said I'd show you why
I'm called Dragon King.
Is the lesson beginning
to sink in yet,
or will I have to
start k*lling you?
[MAKAROV] I'm not going
to sugarcoat this.
With all of the Dragon Slayers
stuck inside the time rift,
we are left with no clear path
to victory against Acnologia.
Seems like it.
[HAPPY]
We're in trouble.
What now?
We have no choice but to fight.
Maybe we can't k*ll it,
but do you think we could
immobilize it or somethin'?
That's a good idea!
You could freeze it in its
tracks with your ice magic.
Not an option. Magic
has no effect on him.
We've got all these
wizards gathered here
and you're telling us that
magic's not gonna work?
Is there a sword or some
other kind of w*apon
we could use against him?
If it were that easy
to k*ll a dragon,
somebody would've
done it already.
That only happens in
children's stories. Oh, yeah!
But we shouldn't rule
that out entirely.
[ERZA] No, a sword
would only be effective
imbued with Dragon Slayer magic.
If only Wendy was with us...
Damn it. We've got nothing.
[LUCY]
Hmm...
Think of something? What is it?
Actually, there might be
one thing we can do.
[MAKAROV]
Hm?
[gasps]
Hey! Here he comes, guys!
He's just mindlessly destroying
everything he sees.
We gotta get outta
here, right now!
Lucy, if you've got
a plan, spill it!
Some of our people should go to
the port in Hargeon, right away.
They need to get a
big ship ready for us!
[WIZARD A]
A ship?
[WIZARD B]
What for?
[WIZARD C]
I know!
Because of the Dragon
Slayers' weakness!
Do you think we're gonna get
that big dragon onto a boat?
That should make him
extremely sick, at least.
Yes, this is true for every
Dragon Slayer. Oh, yeah!
Well, if swords and
magic have no effect,
I guess it's our only option.
Maybe.
But it seems like all this plan
will do is make him go "bwah,"
then he'll be fine, right?
[LUCY] That'll give
us our only chance...
...to use one of our
strongest spells!
[grunts] Magic won't
work on him, remember?
I heard that. But I think
there's one spell that could!
Levy and Fried, I'm gonna need
both of you to come with me!
We'll be searching through the
guild's library for the spell!
You three'll help us catch
up once we've found it.
Aye.
[LUCY] Everyone else
split into two teams.
One going straight to Hargeon.
The other team's mission
is more dangerous.
You'll need to lead
Acnologia to the port.
Also, it's very important
that we have as many
Fairy Tail members gathering
in Hargeon as possible.
Well, if that's the case,
Sabertooth will take point
on luring the dragon.
What makes you think
this spell will work?
Why is it special?
[LUCY] It's magic created
by close personal bonds
that even Acnologia can't break.
[MAKAROV]
Hmm.
It's her spell.
It saved us on Tenrou
Island way back then.
That's true.
Absolute Protection magic.
[LUCY] One of Fairy Tail's Three
Grand Spells: Fairy Sphere!
It is true he couldn't
overcome it,
but that spell is only meant
to be cast defensively.
Are you saying...?
You're really suggesting
that we try to trap Acnologia?
[PANTHERLILY, HAPPY]
Inside of the Fairy Sphere?
That plan is insane, Lucy!
It's all we have.
[LUCY] This is our last sh*t.
It's all or nothing!
[ACNOLOGIA]
As we stand inside here,
my flesh form is on a path
of rampant destruction
outside the time rift,
bringing about the
end of the world.
Huh?
The hour of reckoning
now is upon us.
Civilization's
reached its demise.
[NATSU]
Why are you doing all of this?
It's simple.
To bring destruction.
[laughing]
[NATSU] Sounds like
a load of crap to me.
[growls]
This world ain't that
weak, you hear me?
And it sure as hell
ain't yours to destroy!
[sighs]
Gray and Juvia are
here! And, uh...
My name's Mest.
Wouldn't it have been better
to take all of us at once?
Wouldn't be better for me.
He can only teleport a
couple of people this far
at the same time!
Since we are a couple,
it makes perfect sense!
[LYON]
Oh, man, she's cute!
What's going on? I had heard
the fighting was over.
Not yet. Acnologia's
on his way here.
[gasps]
[JUVIA] Lyon, we need your
help to get a big ship ready.
[WIZARD D]
Hargeon here we come!
[WIZARD E]
What's keeping the Mest Express?
[WIZARD F]
Give him a break, man!
Good luck, friends.
We're counting on you.
So that's him.
The Arcane Dragon
himself. Oh, no!
I'm not quite sure how
we're going to lead him
all the way to Hargeon.
His magic power is crazy.
[RUFUS] I can't recall
a beast this strong.
But we're strong, too.
You better believe we are!
I think so, too!
[LEVY]
Darn it, I can't find it!
[FRIED]
No luck here, either!
Hey, Master, are you positive
this book even exists?
The First Master told
me about it, so I am.
It's gotta be in
here somewhere;
we're just not looking
hard enough!
You're right!
We have to find it.
The Fairy Sphere is the
only hope we've got left.
[MINERVA]
No...
Nothing we've done
has had any effect.
He consumes everything.
All magic types.
And he's not filling
up. Oh, yeah!
If he doesn't have
a magic preference,
how do we get him to follow us?
I really can't even tell
what he's aiming for!
He's attacking randomly.
Almost like he has
no mind of his own.
He just fried the
Fairy Tail guild hall!
Oh, no!
[LUCY yelps]
[BOTH gasps]
Don't be afraid!
We should be safer
here underground!
[MINERVA]
This is bad.
We must put a stop
to his att*cks
before he completely
destroys Magnolia!
I got this, my lady!
Hey! Acnologia!
I'm right here! Come and get me!
Uh! Can't you hear me?
What the--? Magic att*cks
and taunts don't work?
If Acnologia's not even in
control of his own thoughts,
why did he come to Magnolia?
I was pondering the same thing.
What could be driving
his actions now?
It's pure instinct.
He was drawn to this town
because he sensed the magic
power of the wizards here.
Then perhaps the stronger the
magic, the more he'll follow?
Heh.
[BOTH yell]
[NATSU]
Sting!
[STING]
Natsu!
[chuckles]
Natsu!
[yells]
[ALL scream]
[yelling]
Nice goin'!
Not too shabby, I'd say.
Laxus is incredible!
Yeah. That's what
I'm talkin' about!
He get him, or what?
The smoke is clearing.
[gasps]
[LAXUS groaning]
You bastard.
Your magic has no effect on me.
[GRAY]
Okay.
So this is the largest ship
that's out here, huh?
It would seem that the Alvarez
Army left it behind.
It's big.
My question is, how are we going
to get Acnologia onboard?
I'll just have to knock
him out of the sky myself.
[JUVIA]
Thank goodness!
I'm glad you made
it here safely.
Sounds like another
crazy idea to me.
Even if we can't do any
real damage with magic,
I bet we can still push
him around a little bit.
I think I can do it.
No... I'll do it no matter what!
[JUVIA] But this plan does
rely on some other factors.
Minerva and her team
have to figure out
how to lead Acnologia
all the way here.
Plus, Lucy and the others
have to make it in time.
Is everyone okay?
It's a miracle, but yes.
[HAPPY] I'm okay, but who
turned out the lights?
You're not badly
injured, are you?
I'm fine.
Uh. Hold on, anyone see Lucy?
[ALL gasp]
You guys, I found the book!
This'll tell us how
to use Fairy Sphere!
[COBRA yelling]
[COBRA]
Oh, crap. That one got me.
Hang in there.
[COBRA]
Don't worry.
I can't let myself kick
the bucket quite yet.
Not just for my sake.
It's because... I've got
friends of my own, too!
And I know they're fighting
their hearts out down there!
I'll do whatever the hell
I gotta to keep 'em safe!
[ACNOLOGIA roars]
Acnologia, follow me!
[HOTEYE] Macbeth! Radiate all
of the magic power you can!
Oh, yeah!
[MIDNIGHT] We can definitely
lure him this way.
[HOTEYE]
Oh, yeah!
All right, Sorano!
We should be at the next
point coming up soon!
Full speed ahead, Sawyer!
[STING growls]
We gotta take this joker down,
or else we won't be able
to show our faces again.
This is the only way
we can get back home.
We have to win this fight.
[OLGA]
Hey, ugly! Try to keep up!
[RUFUS] The fact that you're
drawn to magic power
is b*rned into my memory.
We'll act as bait from here.
Okay, Lector, don't stop
till we reach Hargeon!
[LECTOR]
You got it!
[FROSCH]
I'll try hard, too!
[LAXUS] We won't let you
k*ll the old geezer.
Or anyone else, you got that?
So we're just gonna have
to go ahead and crush you
before you get the
chance to crush us!
You may be some kinda legend,
but your story ends today!
Fly as fast as you can!
[HAPPY]
Aye, Sir!
Levy! Can you read it?
I think I can translate!
You've got this, Levy!
[PANTHERLILY]
We believe in you!
Are you ready for
the final battle?
Because I'm all fired up!
[ACNOLOGIA]
Final?
We haven't even begun to fight.
But this will be your end.
[laughing]
[gasps]
[GILDARTS]
Here he comes!
[ACNOLOGIA roars]
This is our sh*t.
We need to buy some more time
before Lucy and the
rest of them get here.
You guys get ready for the
Fairy Sphere, you hear me?
What do you mean by that?
How do we get ready for it?
[CANA] Everyone, we all
need to hold hands.
[ERZA] Excellent work, ladies!
I knew we could count on you!
He'll follow whoever puts out
the strongest magic power.
If you do that, you can lead
him directly to the ship.
[MINERVA]
As for us...
I'm sorry, but I think
we're running way too low.
For sure.
Oh, yeah, I think so, too.
We can take over from here.
Hey!
It looks like he's about
to make a big move!
Everybody, get down!
[ACNOLOGIA roars]
Not the ships.
He destroyed every last one.
Oh, no.
Are you kiddin' me?
[laughs]
Instinct... He took out his
weakness on pure instinct.
[LUCY]
In the blink of an eye,
the Black Dragon obliterates
the ships in Hargeon's port.
Even so, we won't give up!
We're going to put all
our hopes on a spell
that saved our lives
before: Fairy Sphere.
However, inside the time rift,
Acnologia becomes an
even greater challenge
for the Dragon Slayers bravely
fighting for our future!
But how will that battle unfold?
Next Time: "Hearts Connected."
The only way we'll see tomorrow
is if we hold on to
each other today!
