07x255 - Tartaros Chapter – Steel

[bunniefuu]

As I've said, I dislike humans,

but they can be so entertaining.

You, defeating the

Underworld King?

Ridiculous.

Just watch us!

[NARRATOR]

The Twin Dragons of Sabertooth

came to the aid of

their fallen guildmate

and took on Mard Geer himself.

This gave Minerva, Erza, and

the Exceeds a chance to escape.

The group searched the ruins of

Plutogrim for the control room,

hoping to stop the detonation

of thousands of Face bombs.

But the fungal Franmalth

proves to be a deceptive guide.

[TORAFUZAR] Only the full

might of the Etherious

can conquer such powerful foes.

[TEMPESTER]

Let's end this.

[NARRATOR] Natsu and Gajeel

kicked into high gear

and switched to their

dual-element modes,

combining lightning and

shadow with fire and iron.

But will this be enough to

conquer the bloodthirsty demons

in their terrifying

Etherious forms?

[NATSU yelling]

[GAJEEL yelling]

Who have they turned into?

Flame Lotus Exploding

Lightning Blade!

Iron Shadow Dragon Roar!

You'll meet your demise in

the depths of the Underworld.

Dark Deluge!

[NARRATOR]

Our heroes put up a good fight,

but Torafuzar unleashed

his "Dark Deluge" curse,

engulfing everything in a wave

of black, poisonous water.

With his comrades rendered

unconscious by the flood,

Gajeel found himself

running out of options,

and running out of air.

But then...

[GAJEEL]

Don't you touch her!

Levy!

Pull yourself together!

Wake up, kid!

You gave me that breath

of air just now, right?

There more where

that came from?

[LEVY]

He wants me to do it again?

[LEVY gasps]

[LEVY] Uh, hang on! I think

he's got the wrong idea!

I knew he was in trouble,

so I shared some of my

own breath with him!

[GAJEEL] Hurry up and give

the others some air, too!

They're gonna drown

if you don't!

[LEVY] But if I do that,

I won't have any left.

I don't wanna drown with them.

I mean, I didn't even

know if it would work,

and the only reason I gave it

to him because he was closest.

Yeah, that's it!

What in the hell

are ya stallin' for?

Use your magic and

make us some air!

[LEVY] Yeah, he's right!

What the heck was I thinking?

I should've written an

air spell to begin with

instead of doing that!

How embarrassing!

Solid Script Air!

[BOTH gasping]

Sorry!

They're still breathing?

[GAJEEL] Now help

Salamander and the others!

[LEVY]

Right!

I owe you kiddo. Big time!

[yelling]

[screaming]

Behold the greatest defense

of the Nine Demon Gates.

I can alter my body's hardness

to deflect whatever

att*ck comes at me.

Therefore, my skin is

resistant to your pitiful iron.

[GAJEEL]

Damn.That hurt.

The iron on your

skin helped stave off

the poison in the water,

but it's abundantly clear that

you are finally starting to feel

its effects.

You just bought enough time to

see all your comrades perish.

[growls]

Humanity's era is over.

You did put up a valiant effort,

but you were no match

for the Dark Deluge.

The poison will slow down

your body's processes,

and then everyone in your guild

will drown together as one.

[LEVY] We have some air for now,

but the carbon in the water

means it'll be

hard to make more.

If we're trapped here much

longer, we're gonna die.

[TORAFUZAR]

This is the end for you!

[LEVY]

C'mon, Gajeel.

[ORG]

And once again,

we have Gajeel of

Phantom Lord before us.

Honestly now, how many times

has it been just this year?

[GAJEEL chuckles]

[BELNO]

Gajeel, wait!

For another lecture?

Don't ask me why I

waste my breath on you,

but you should strongly consider

leaving Phantom Lord.

I'll leave when

I'm ready to leave.

It's none of your business.

When guilds engage in

such wretched behavior,

it is my business.

It must be stopped.

[GAJEEL]

I think you'd better stop.

You know you're talking

to Black Steel Gajeel,

the Iron Dragon

Slayer, right, hag?

[BELNO]

"Iron-Headed," you mean.

I've seen countless

tough guys like you,

all with a huge chip

on their shoulder.

And all you really want to try

to do is hide your loneliness.

The hell you say?!

[BELNO] I know that being a

"do-gooder" isn't your style.

However,

someone like you could live

a life that has true meaning.

[laughing]

Oh yeah? My life's

got tons of meaning!

Actually, I've got

something big happenin' soon.

We're taking down

those Fairy failures!

[NATSU] Check it out, Lucy, it's

like this job was made for us!

Don't waste my time, Natsu!

I need to pay my

rent this month!

This one's a piece of cake!

Then we'll take another one

and make more money!

"In search of somebody

who can teach me

how to grill tasty,

golden-brown fish."

You've gotta be kidding me.

That sounds like something

that takes a little finesse,

and I'll bet you don't even

know what that word means.

She's got ya there, pal.

And besides,

you want an expert on how to

make the yummiest fishies,

then look no further

than yours truly.

Although I prefer it so

raw, it's still wiggling.

That sounds disgusting.

But maybe you and I should have

a little cook off, ya down?

Aye, sir! Hope you like

the taste of shame!

What? This is an even

bigger waste of time!

[gasps]

Wait a sec!

Do ya have to barbeque

it right here?

[NATSU] Woohoo!

My grill is fired up now!

[HAPPY] Too bad, 'cause you're

messin' with the fishie slayer!

[LUCY] Stop being petty

and find us a real job!

And it better be one

that pays real money!

[LEVY]

Well, what a surprise.

You can smile.

Shut up, ya little busybody.

But you're still a jerk!

[GAJEEL]

They m*rder*d her, too.

The city's fine though, nothing

like what Gray described.

It would seem that this

k*ller is the stealthy type.

[GAJEEL] I failed. I should've

gotten here sooner.

We did our best.

[GAJEEL] You told me I could

live a life with true meaning.

I wish I could've gotten

the chance to let you know

that I took those

words to heart.

To show you who I've become.

Even though I was

a no good punk,

you were lookin' out for me.

[GAJEEL] I'm so sorry I

couldn't look out for you.

All I can do now is get revenge.

No, I should heed your

advice more than ever.

That's the best way I can

truly honor your life.

I'll never forget what else

you said to me that day.

The truth be told, you remind me

quite a bit of my own late son.

I ain't gonna die here today!

I hope you're watchin'

this somehow, lady!

I ain't some pissed-off piece

of scrap metal anymore!

I went out lookin' for that

meaningful life and I found it!

You see?

Now I live to protect

those that helped me.

The only way I really know how.

They gave my life meaning.

And no one's gonna

take that away!

Impossible!

How could that weak iron break

through my defenses like that?

No. That's not iron.

He must've absorbed

the carbon in the water.

He turned my curse against me.

Gajeel's a lot smarter

than he lets on.

That was brilliant.

He used it to make steel!

[yelling]

[GAJEEL]

Steel Dragon Sword!

[screaming]

[GAJEEL chuckles]

Okay. Well, Salamander,

you owe me a song.

Everyone's still down, and

there's one more demon to go.

Ah, man!

You may've just

defeated a Demon Gate,

but it's cost you

your magic power.

You fought well human. Now die!

I must say I'm surprised.

You should be dead.

Or still in agony.

He left some sort of mist.

[FRIED] Bixlow! Ever!

You have to resist!

[LAXUS]

No one else is gonna die here.

Not while I'm around!

[FRIED]

Laxus, shield your mouth!

[FRIED]

What're you doing?!

Nobody has ever taken in

that many Bane Particles

and survived.

Last one up. Déjà vu.

No matter.

Defeating you in

your weakened state

should prove to be an easy task.

Come on.

Whoosh!

It's completely up to me again.

Do something!

[yelling]

I don't understand this.

Did you neutralize the poison?

I'm running solely

on vengeance.

Whoosh!

[gasps]

You hurt my friends.

And nobody has ever

done that and survived!

This is for Fairy Tail!

[TEMPESTER]

He's just as powerful as before,

but more fierce.

Bring it on.

Yes. It'll be my pleasure.

Vwum.

[TEMPESTER]

Ka-bam.

[TEMPESTER]

Vwu-wum.

[yelling]

[yelling]

Whoosh!

[yelling]

[yelling]

[TEMPESTER] What is this?

Why won't he att*ck?

[TEMPESTER]

Could it be?

But how?

No way!

You're not even human are you?

Wait. What's he talkin' about?

You didn't recover.

Your body is teeming

with Bane Particles

and you're still able to stand?

Your organs should

be liquefied by now.

That's why you're

just standing there

and not launching any

att*cks, isn't it?

I guess my secret's out huh?

That means I'd better

end this, quickly.

This is the end, you fool.

Kerfwoosh!

Laxus, no!

[LAXUS]

Heh.

Can you even call

this stuff fire?

It's not hot enough to burn.

Is this the best you can do?

[LAXUS yelling]

You're sick.

The poison is coursing

through your veins,

so why do you still fight?

Because nothing's gonna

stop me from getting revenge

for what you did to Fairy Tail!

Holy crap.

[coughs]

[GAJEEL]

You okay?

[GAJEEL]

He must've taken a hit.

Now stay down.

[TEMPESTER]

You're quite remarkable.

[TEMPESTER] A normal human

would be dead by now,

or praying for the end

to take away their pain.

But clearly you're

no normal human.

However, your entire

species is pitifully weak.

I'm a life form far above yours.

Etherious.

You were foolish to believe

you could defeat me.

For I am Tempester the Immortal.

[TEMPESTER yelling]

I missed?

[LAXUS]

Lightning Dragon Jaw!

You may've bested

me once human,

but I swear it will

not happen again.

Ya know, I feel exactly

the same way about it.

[coughing]

[BIXLOW coughing]

[TEMPESTER]

That means I'll see you soon.

In the netherworld.

[LAXUS] This is the second

time you've brought harm

to my family.

[LAXUS yelling]

And it's the last time.

Because you're not gonna

make it outta here alive.

[LUCY] Even as the Bane

Particles eat away at him,

Laxus faces his foe,

powered solely by the spirit

of vengeance for his friends.

But Tempester is known

as "The Immortal."

Could this really be true?

Our Lightning Dragon

Slayer is definitely

gonna test that theory.

Meanwhile, as Erza locates

the demolished control room,

she also finds another life

or death battle with Kyoka.

The showdown with the Demon

Gates enters its final phase,

with humanity on the line.

Next Time: "Tartaros

Chapter Final Duels."

This is the

beginning of the end.
