[NATSU]
Cowards!
Calm down!
The house didn't do it!
Plus, it belongs to that
big-shot former chairman!
It's the former chairman
who's been workin'
with Tartaros, Happy.
Then he's the reason whole
reason we're in this mess!
Mira and Erza came to help him,
they didn't have a clue!
In that case, he probably
caught 'em by surprise.
[NATSU]
Yeah, but we're gonna find 'em.
Nothin' stops a
Dragon Slayer's nose!
[CRAWFORD]
How dare they vandalize
the home of their Chairman!
[FRANMALTH]
Yes well technically,
you're their former chair--
[CRAWFORD] I got a pension
from the council before
I helped you destroy it,
now that's gone with my home!
Pension? You're about
to have more jewel
than even you could find
a way to spend. [laughs]
I suppose I can always say
that Tartaros destroyed it.
Make sure the firebug's
too dead to contradict me.
Then they'll really think
I've been kidnapped.
Speaking of, how are
my prisoners?
[FRANMALTH] Lady Kyoka's
begun her t*rture process.
They'll have a
gruesome end, no doubt.
Make sure they die. If those
two were to escape somehow
and speak of what I've done
for you, I'd lose my shot
at becoming Chairman again!
You can rest easy.
They aren't going anywhere.
And on top of that,
no one's ever gonna
find us in this place.
Say, what is that thing?
[nervous laughing]
It's headed right for us!
Aaah!
You just said that no
one would find us here!
Well, no one's found us before!
Where the hell are my friends?!
[gasps]
[LUCY]
Natsu!
It's Lucy and Wendy!
Can you hear us?
Anyone here?
Please say something!
Happy?!
Where did you go?
[LUCY] It looks like
Tartaros beat us here.
You think they were
waiting for Erza and Mira?
I hate to say it, but I'm
afraid that those two
may have been captured.
Hey Wendy.
Do you think you can track
'em down by their scents?
I'll give it a try.
[sniffing]
Natsu... Please be okay.
[stuttering]
What'd you do with
Erza and Mira?!
Why would I tell you?
You just busted a wyvern-sized
hole in my ceiling!
This fortress is made of
imported Pergrande Gneiss!
It costs so much!
Someone's making a fuss.
[KYOKA]
Yakdoriga.
[YAKDORIGA growls]
[KYOKA]
Keep an eye on this one.
I'm going to check on the boys
upstairs. Don't touch her, yet.
If I let you at her now,
I wouldn't get to see her break.
[YAKDORIGA growls]
[NATSU]
Don't make me ask again.
The new prisoners?
Well with so many t*rture
chambers to choose from,
you're better off
listening for screams
than asking me. He, he, he.
[HAPPY] Guess he wants
to do this the hard way!
[FRANMALTH] I'm quite curious
as to how you found us.
Wait, wait, don't tell me.
You followed old
Crawford didn't you?
What a fool! How much'll
this mistake cost us?!
Does no one else care
about the finances?!
[NATSU]
I'm sick of hearin' your crap!
[FRANMALTH screams]
We're almost back to the guild.
Then, I'm heading out to one
of those new addresses,
but you're more than
free to come along.
I'll go with you.
I don't think I've ever been
this scared of a fight before.
[GRAY] You saw a whole city
put to death for no reason.
That would scare anybody.
[JUVIA]
It's more than that.
What happened there was awful,
and I'm afraid what's
coming is worse.
[GRAY]
We'll be fine.
We'll win this w*r like
we've won all the others.
Count on it.
[grunts]
Now you've broken into my
home and assaulted me!
That was foolish.
Your criminal actions
are about to cost you!
Ka-ching!
Uh?
This court takes its
payment in souls!
Watch out, he's all stretchy!
[FRANMALTH laughs]
Connection.
[NATSU screams]
What are you doing?
Can't move... Too weak.
[HAPPY growls]
Someone get this monster off me!
[NATSU grunts]
Thanks, Happy.
Take that you toothy freak!
You're the only freak
I see around here!
[FRANMALTH yells]
[FRANMALTH groans]
[NATSU]
Fire Dragon!
Grip Strike!
[HAPPY]
H-heh...
[FRANMALTH]
Aah! Haha!
I've spent way too much on
my skin to let you ruin it!
Okay, Natsu just roasted that
guy's face at point-blank range.
How's he okay?
[SILVER]
Now cool down, Franmalth.
Take a break.
[SILVER]
I can handle things from here.
[gasps]
[SILVER] Do grab the
old guy before you go.
Want them for yourself, eh?
Hmph.
Well, I'll just leave
you to it, then.
I'd love to watch but the
chairman has some "work"
to attend to, if you
know what I mean.
You never did know
when to shut your mouth.
It's gettin' kinda
cold in here, isn't it?
Yeah. It's like the
place has frozen over.
A fire wizard.
You must be the man who melted
all that ice in Sun Village.
[NATSU] And you must be
the thing that froze it.
Thanks! I really owe you one.
I was mortified when I heard
the news, what a complete mess!
See, I could'a sworn that
dragon soul was a demon.
Ended up icing the whole
damn village just to k*ll it.
[NATSU]
Oh...
You smell an awful lot
like someone else I know.
[laughs] Hm?
[HAPPY gasps]
Gray Full--
Natsu!
[whimpers]
You should have never said
that name in my presence, kid.
[SOLDIER A] Have I
seen a cat around here?
What? Another one from Bosco?
[SOLDIER B] Nah, Franmalth
says it's from Fairy Tail.
Real Dangerous, too.
[SOLDIER B]
Losin' my damn mind here.
[HAPPY gasps]
[SOLDIER C]
Hm?
[HAPPY]
I've gotta find the others.
Natsu needs help!
[HAPPY]
Hang in there.
I'll be back soon!
[groans]
[SOLDIER D]
Welcome to your new home.
You think these
bars can hold me?!
Open up and I won't
roast you alive!
I'll just beat your
ugly faces in!
Give me my scarf!
I know you have it!
[SOLDIER D]
Last time I checked,
animals like you
don't need scarves!
[SOLDIER E] You seen
any pigs wearing clothes?
[NATSU]
Screw you!
Look.
You jerks took
two of my friends.
--Where are they?
--[foot steps]
Get back here!
And answer my friggin' question!
You two had better be
goin' to get me my scarf!
Because if you piss me off,
you're gonna regret it!
--[LISANNA whimpers]
--Huh?!
Is that Natsu's voice?
Whoa, it is! What happened?
Never thought they'd catch you.
Lisanna, hey!
[NATSU grunts]
So did they get you
and Elfman, or what?
No...
Well, I hope not,
I can't remember anything.
Erza and Mira have gotta
be somewhere around here.
Once we get out,
we'll need to find them.
They caught my sister and Erza?
I can't believe it.
In that case, they probly
have my brother after all.
They've been wiping out
our strongest members,
one after another. I used
to believe that we could
take on anybody... That was
before Tartaros came along.
We can beat anyone.
These jerks included.
But first, we gotta
get outta here.
But how? I mean,
we can't even use magic.
What's stoppin' us,
these handcuffs?
Yeah, I think so, I've
been trying to use takeover
magic for a while now.
So far, I haven't had any luck.
Kinda hot down here, isn't it?
[SEILAH]
I've heard that you've
identified the men
body-linked to Face.
That and more.
The former chairman used
his archive magic for us.
I'm loathe to admit it,
but this was most helpful.
It does shrink our target list.
But what exactly do you
mean by "that and more"?
Two of the councilmen
identified are already dead.
We k*lled them before we
knew what they were.
And who is the last one?
[KYOKA]
Jellal Fernandes.
His pulse is the only thing that
stands between us and Face.
[SEILAH]
Face. What a horrible object.
Those humans were
fools to create it.
That they were, but mistakes
are meant to be exploited.
But of course.
Right as always.
How long do you think it
will take to find Jellal?
That depends on Erza.
[SEILAH]
I've always found you to be
quite gifted with your
powers of persuasion.
We could use you macro
curse and simply turn her
into a mindless sl*ve.
But I do so enjoy my art.
Now listen, Seilah.
It's time for us to bring Fairy
Tail's disruptions to an end.
That has already been arranged.
I've taken the liberty of
preparing a poetic conclusion
to their sad little fable.
[KYOKA]
Come, Seilah.
I think you've earned
yourself a treat.
[SEILAH]
Yes, milady.
[grunting]
They're gonna k*ll you!
[JELLAL]
Stay where you are, Meldy!
[MELDY]
Don't be stupid!
You can't beat them alone!
That maybe true,
but this isn't your fight!
He's not as cocky as
he was a minute ago.
Yup, cause he's not stup--
[JELLAL grunts]
[RACER, COBRA gruntsing]
[ANGEL]
No matter what else happens,
you will not put us
back in your chains!
[JELLAL grunting]
[COBRA, RACER yelling]
We despise prisons, and
you of all people should
know why that is, Jellal.
Your tower was our first Jail.
It was Brain who set us free.
Or so he led us to believe.
We were torn from our homes,
taught by your whips to curse
the world, and used
as his pawns.
Now we finally have the
chance to put that behind us.
To live for ourselves...
To be free.
[RACER grunts]
[RACER groans]
[JELLAL]
Who are you trying to fool?
Uh?!
There's a victim
inside every villain,
that doesn't absolve
us of our crimes.
[gasps]
[JELLAL]
Own your sins.
Feel the weight of what
you owe this world.
And pay your penance.
[heartbeats]
[NATSU grunting]
[NATSU]
Could'a sworn that would work.
[LISANNA]
Those bars are steel.
I think you're more likely
to break than they are.
Thanks for all the confidence.
Relax, I'll bust us outta
this place in no time.
Look, even if we were
to get out of here,
how would we save Mira and Erza
when we can't even use magic?
[NATSU]
We'll figure that out later.
The key is to stay calm and
take things one step at a time!
Glad you've worked it all out.
[NATSU groans]
[LISANNA]
No!
Get offa me!
[NATSU]
Er, Sorry.
[LISANNA grunts]
Maybe getting all fired up
isn't what we need right now.
This place is hot
enough as it is.
[NATSU] You really hot?
I'm feelin' fine.
Well, we can't all
be weather-proof.
Hang on!
--I remember!
--Uh?!
It was Happy who brought me over
here. He's prob'ly on his way to
let the guild know where
we are right now,
unless he got caught.
That's great, but.
I mean, what are the odds
that Happy actually
knows where "here" is?
[NATSU]
We're at Tartaros.
Yeah, and where is that?
[NATSU] Wherever!
They can follow their noses.
It's not good news.
We went after Natsu to the
former chairman's house.
But he was already gone
by the time we got there,
and so were, Happy,
Erza, and Mira.
On top of that, the house
was completely destroyed.
I did try to track them down,
but my sense of smell
wasn't strong enough
You don't think that
they got caught, do ya?
They could be on the run,
but they haven't reported in.
I wish we could
hit Tartaros back,
but we don't know
where to look for them.
Gajeel, should we go back to
the old Chairman's place?
Maybe you can sniff out
where the group was taken.
Na, if this kid couldn't
hack it, then neither could I.
I feel so useless!
Also, it's been a while.
Natsu smells, but he
don't smell that much.
[MAKAROV]
Hmm...
We haven't heard anything from
Elfman and Lisanna
for a while either.
And the people we sent after
newly found councilmen?
They've reported no att*cks.
[MAKAROV]
Those wretched demons.
There has to be some way
of locating their
base of operations.
[HAPPY]
Me and Natsu found it!
[PANTHERLILY,LEVY]
Uh?!
[HAPPY]
Their base.
I know where it is,
we gotta go back! Ugh!
[LUCY]
Happy?
[HAPPY groans]
Erza and Mira got
captured because
that former chairman guy!
He's a traitor!
And me and Natsu, we followed
their trail and we busted into
their base, but Natsu, he-he-!
You need to calm down!
[HAPPY]
Aye.
[MAKAROV]
Inconceivable.
The former chairman of the magic
council has joined Tartaros?
[DROY] How could they've
taken Erza and Mira?
[JET]
Who knows?
There's one more thing.
You should never have
said that name in
my presence, kid.
[HAPPY]
Nevermind.
But they got Natsu.
I watched him get caught.
He was right in front of me.
I know I should've tried
to save him, but I didn't.
I ran.
Look, you did the only
thing that you could do.
Now just dry your tears
and tell us where he is.
[HAPPY] The base is on
this weird, blocky island.
And it floats around in the sky.
[MAKAROV]
It's moving?
[CANA] That'd make it impossible
for you to know where it is.
[LEVY] We don't have to
know the exact location.
If you could remember how you
got here we could figure it out.
Right, so I was flyin' to the
left, but it was right on my
nine o'clock and headin'
straight for noon, so uh...
Wait a second.
I think I heard one of their
soldiers mention Bosco.
Are you sure?
Then their base
must be somewhere
around the eastern border!
I can narrow it down
from there. No problem!
I'll try as hard as I can to
calculate Tartaros' route!
I promise that I won't
let you guys down!
[ALL]
All right!
[JET, Droy]
You can do this, Levy!
Now Happy, try to remember
everything you saw on your
way back here. Like landmarks,
and the position of the sun.
[HAPPY]
Kay, I'll try.
Everyone else, prepare
for the fight of your lives!
[All]
Yeah!
I'm a coward. Natsu needed
me and I left him behind.
That isn't true. You did your
very best to make sure we get
him back, everyone knows that.
Okay?
[HAPPY]
Aye.
[JET]
Elfman!
[DROY]
Hey, you're all right!
Wait, where's Lisanna?
My surprise for Fairy Tail.
It'll be delivered very soon.
Would this be that
poetic conclusion
you told me about earlier? Good.
Yes. [chuckles]
They'll be destroyed
before long.
And by one of their own.
Hey man, you and
Lisanna get split up?
You had us worried
for a minute there.
Nobody had heard from you.
[ELFMAN]
Lisanna's gone.
Captured by Tartaros.
[gasps]
No way.
They have her, too?
[ELFMAN]
They got to Master Yuri first.
They were waiting.
Hmm.
I failed.
I don't know what
else I coulda done.
Don't worry,
we'll get her back.
Elfman, we're already planning
an as*ault on Tartaros' base.
Lisanna's one of the
toughest girls I know.
She'll be okay until then.
[ELFMAN]
Yeah.
Stop tryin' to comfort him!
What kind of man would let these
monsters take his sister away?
Cana, stop!
I... I tried to help her, but...
[CANA]
But what? They outran you?
Like I'd buy that.
You transform into animals!
Hey! Get back here, coward!
That's enough, Cana! Lay off.
[ELFMAN]
No, I deserve it.
Forgive me, I just
need to get some rest.
This is wrong.
We never turn on each other.
Have you ever heard of
this thing called sympathy?
[CANA grunts]
[SEILAH] You can do as I say,
or I can make you wrap
your hand around your
sister's throat again.
Your task is both simple
and unforgivable.
Return to your Guildhall and
place this Lacrima
anywhere inside it.
Why? What will it do?
[SEILAH] It will emit a vast
amount of concentrated ether.
Imagine a Jupiter Blast,
times five hundred.
Don't worry, your guild
mates' deaths will be swift.
I won't do it!
You can't make me!
Shall I have you k*ll
your sister, then?
[ELFMAN]
No.
[SEILAH]
You've no choice.
My curse is absolute.
[ELFMAN]
Fine.
If you'll let Lisanna go,
I'll do anything.
Anything you say, even destroy
the guild that raised me.
[LUCY] Natsu, Erza, Mirajane,
and Lisanna have been captured.
Elfman is under
Seilah's control.
Franmalth and Crawford begin to
search in earnest for Jellal.
Oblivious to threats unseen,
Jellal continues his desperate
battle against the Oracion Seis.
We stumble through these broken
paths to nowhere, with no idea
that they're about to intersect.
