07x262 - Tartaros Chapter – Memento Mori

[bunniefuu]

[NARRATOR] While Natsu and the

Dragon Slayers of Sabertooth

continue their intense battle

with the demons of Tartaros,

Erza and the others fight with

everything they have left

to try to keep the

Faces from detonating.

As the wizards struggle to

end this w*r once and for all,

Mard Geer shares

his ultimate plan.

[MARD GEER]

Don't you know?

I'd think you could've

put it together.

That tome your friend wants

to steal contains E.N.D,

and it's magic that seals him.

You wanna bust him out?

Now you see.

Despite how it may appear...

I'm not our leader.

That title belongs to E.N.D.

There are none among us

who can rival his strength.

Once E.N.D. has finally

been released,

we can fulfill our true purpose,

and return to Zeref.

Damn! It won't budge!

Come on, Man! Use your fire!

Ah! Crap, I'm stuck.

It froze.

[NARRATOR]

But when all hope seemed lost,

an old friend returned

to save the day.

[NATSU]

My scarf.

I thought I'd lost it for good.

[GRAY]

You're welcome.

[NATSU]

Uh...

If it means so much to you,

then take better care of it.

Will do.

[GRAY]

Ice Demon: Zero Long Sword!

Don't let this jerkwad freakshow

get under your skin!

Keep fighting! Ah!

[MARD GEER] Behold, I

am Mard Geer Tartaros.

Absolute Demon, and

King of the Underworld.

[GRAY]

Natsu.

[NATSU]

Don't say it. I know.

We don't care what you

call yourself king of!

We're gonna take you out!

[MARD GEER]

Come. Give me your all.

For this battle

shall be your last.

Now it's time for you to Freeze!

Right After you Burn!

[GRAY, NATSU gasp]

Hey! You better let

go of me right now,

you weird gargoyle

lookin' freak!

[MARD GEER]

At last, the time has come

for you to see what lies

beyond the Netherworld Gate.

[NATSU groans]

[GRAY groans]

[NATSU, GRAY groaning]

[NATSU screams]

[MARD GEER]

I will savor every last moment

of tearing your soul to shreds

and erasing your existence.

[ERZA groaning]

[ERZA] There's a light

you'll never take from me.

[ALL gasp]

No way.

She's back on her feet.

But how does she know what

to do without any senses?

She's amazing!

Truly impressive.

How was she able to

sense the att*cks?

Cause Erza can do anything.

Keep your guard up!

You're beaten.

Lay down.

[ERZA]

Sight.

Sound.

These are luxuries, both.

All that's needed

is the light within.

You would understand

that if you had one.

[ERZA] It would've led you

to protect your comrades!

[ERZA grunts]

[ERZA] You were created

to live in darkness!

With pain your only guide,

it's you who must be frightened!

I guess we better head to the

guild hall to meet Makarov.

Hey, Lucy.

Could you give him

a message for me?

Let him know I've got his back.

And I have faith this

secret w*apon's gonna work.

You got it.

[WARREN]

Man, she is workin' that outfit.

Lookin' good.

Come on man.

You gotta get your

head in the game!

For real, we've got way

more important things

you could be thinking

about. Get a grip!

I really gotta work

on my filter...

Okay, let's get going.

We don't have time to waste.

[CARLA] Her looks aren't the

only thing that's changed.

She's so strong

and confident now.

Are you sure you

wanna stay behind?

Yeah, I'll be fine here,

but you better get moving.

Okay. We'll be back

before you know it.

[yells]

[STING, ROGUE grunt]

It was your fault.

You're the one who

dragged her into this.

That pitiful excuse of a girl

was completely useless.

I had such high hopes

of utilizing the power

of the demons to strengthen

the intensity of her magic.

But she wasn't ready

and that weakling chose

to remain a weakling.

The years I've spent teaching

you have been wasted.

But a place may do

what I could not.

These woods are filled

with vicious beasts.

Either it will strip you

of your tears, your heart,

and your weakness.

Or they will strip

you of your life.

Once your tears have dried

for good, you may return.

But she is your own child!

[JIEMMA]

Hm... Child, you say?

But how? No!

You should be out of power!

How can you still be standing?

[ERZA]

I told you.

I'll keep standing until

I've put you in the dirt.

[MINERVA]

No.

Stop.

I will have revenge!

Stay back! You've won this!

Let me go!

Nakagami...

Starlight!

[yells]

[MINERVA groaning]

[JIEMMA]

She's nothing!

[ROGUE]

Uh.

[STING]

Uh...

[JIEMMA] The only thing she

was ever going to be good for

was continuing my bloodline.

Take that back!

[JIEMMA grunts]

[JIEMMA]

Is that all you've got?

[STING groans]

[ROGUE groaning]

[ROGUE whimpers]

[JIEMMA]

You'll never b*at me.

You need to accept the fact

that as long as I'm alive

you'll never have my guild.

[ROGUE]

We don't want your guild back,

we want our guild back.

The way it was.

When we were a team.

The way a guild

is supposed to be.

Only the weak believe that crap!

[ROGUE groans]

A real leader knows that the

only thing Sabertooth needs

is to be the strongest

guild there ever was.

But you ruined that.

With your "weakness"

and "teamwork."

I know you might

see it that way,

but I don't.

Showing compassion

isn't weakness,

it's strength.

With a power unlike

anything else.

[JIEMMA]

Nonsense.

Weakness is abandoning

your comrades

when they need you the most.

[yells]

[LECTOR whimpers]

[gasps]

[LECTOR]

Help me, Sting.

No!

Lector!

Lector is gone.

Master k*lled him!

Frosch!

Why did he do that?

[JIEMMA]

It got what it deserved.

If you're smart you'll

remove your emblem

before you join

the fleabag.

[screams]

Would you stop your

damn blubbering?

[STING]

What have you done?!

What the hell have you done?!

[JIEMMA] Silence!

It was just a lousy cat!

[STING growls]

--[STING yells]

--[JIEMMA groans]

[FROSCH, ROGUE whimper]

We're through with

that kind of guild.

We wanna be part of something

we can believe in.

We know it's not

going to be easy,

but that's what

we're gonna build.

A true guild.

And we aren't gonna

give up no matter what.

Which means...

We don't need you anymore!

Your reign is over!

[STING yells]

[JIEMMA laughs]

You two believe you can

create some perfect guild?

There's no way you can

because there's no such thing.

And that's just the way it is.

Sabertooth is about brute

strength and nothing else!

Why are you trying

to change that?

Because.

You're wrong.

I know the truth now.

There are guilds

who have it all.

[ROGUE]

They're strong and kind.

They respect each other.

And they fight for

the good of humanity.

And what a tragic

creature you are.

For you've never known

the light you lack.

Way to go!

Take her down!

[ROGUE] That's what it

means to be a true guild!

How dare you mock me!

[STING, ROGUE groaning]

One individual strength

is everything!

Teamwork is just

a clever fallacy.

It's made to manipulate the

mind and encourage dependence!

And nobody's gonna drag me down!

What don't you understand?!

Things aren't like

they used to be!

The world is in trouble!

We can fix it, together!

That's how Fairy

Tail does things!

[ROGUE]

As a team.

[JIEMMA]

Never!

This is your last chance before

we shut you up for good!

Let's show him what

teamwork can do!

[STING, ROGUE]

White Shadow Dragon Silk!

[JIEMMA groaning]

It's impossible!

How?!

[BOTH panting]

[ROGUE]

Natsu.

Gray.

[STING]

It's all... up to you now.

[GRAY grunts]

[NATSU, GRAY grunt]

[IGNEE roars]

[ACNOLOGIA roars]

[IGNEEL roars]

[ACNOLOGIA roars]

[GAJEEL]

Get down!

[LEVY screams]

[GAJEEL grunts]

Uh. Thanks for saving me.

It's fine. Just try

to be more careful.

[PORLYUSICA]

Is everyone all right?

[BOTH gasp]

[LEVY]

Porlyusica!

[GAJEEL] This should

help with the antidote.

Here.

Wait, how did you get the blood

from the demon with

the Bane Particles?

He did it.

I'm just the one

lugging him around.

And he was willing

to die to get it.

[GAJEEL] Ha, ha. He's seriously

one tough bastard.

I don't think he'll ever grow

out of this reckless behavior.

After all,

his Grandfather

certainly didn't.

Hurry!

We haven't got time to waste.

But, thanks to Loxus,

I can save them all.

[GRAY, NATSU yell]

[GRAY, NATSU gasp]

[NATSU]

Uh.

[GRAY growls]

[NATSU grunts]

Fire Dragon Roar!

[NATSU growls]

[GRAY]

Ice Demon Rage! Ah!

[MARD GEER]

Dea Yggdrasil!

[NATSU yells]

[GRAY yells]

[BOTH yelling]

All right. Ice Make...

Guungneer!

[MARD GEER]

Hm?

Man, that's cold!

[MARD GEER]

He was inside the ice?

Fire Dragon Brilliant Flame!

What is up with him?

Is he immortal or somethin'?

I just have to get a clear

sh*t to hit him with my magic.

[MARD GEER]

Well, humans, I must admit,

I have been quite entertained by

your attempts to vanquish me.

[MARD GEER] And now it's

my turn to entertain you,

with a story about the one

and only Primordial Magic.

[NATSU]

Huh?

[MARD GEER]

From that origin point,

magic grew to form

various distinct paths.

E.N.D. studied this

evolution and realized

the immense potential

for a new kind of power.

[MARD GEER]

Curses.

[MARD GEER] A power fueled

by the most dismal emotions:

woe, spite, envy, and hatred.

[MARD GEER]

Each of these negative feelings

gave us an incredibly

powerful energy.

And we channeled

this essence of life

to manifest our darkest desires.

Do you even know

what you're saying?!

If that's true than Magic

will always be stronger!

[NATSU, GRAY gasp]

[NATSU gasps]

Gray! What is this?!

[GRAY]

Is it fog?

No.

I can barely move!

What are we gonna do?!

[MARD GEER] The Era of Magic

is coming to an end.

It's time for the true

supreme power to rule.

Welcome to the Era of Curses.

[NATSU, GRAY groaning]

[MARD GEER] Prepare

yourselves for purgatory.

For I will invoke

the ultimate curse,

designed to destroy

Zeref himself!

[NATSU screams]

[GRAY gasping]

[MARD GEER]

The memory... of death.

[NATSU groaning]

[GRAY groaning]

[MARD GEER]

Memento Mori!

[MARD GEER]

To k*ll Zeref

one must destroy the concept

of both life and death.

Those afflicted by

the Memento Mori

no longer belong with the

living or with the dead.

They simply cease to exist.

[GRAY]

This can't be the end.

[NATSU groaning]

[MARD GEER] You are now, and

forever will be... nothing.

The moment has arrived.

The ultimate curse has finally

been perfected and invoked.

Once E.N.D has been revived,

I'll fulfill my promise.

And then...

You will be destroyed,

Lord Zeref.

[LUCY] Even Fairy Tail's

duo of fire and ice

is decimated by Mard

Geer's ultimate curse.

Is there no other wizard

that can stop Tartaros

and the Memento Mori?

As the Faces' countdown reaches

zero, tensions run high.

Will Magic really disappear

from the world forever?

Or will humanity be saved

in the final moments

by an ancient and

spectacular intervention?

Next Time: "Tartaros Chapter

Soaring Above Ishgar."

High in the sky,

a miracle appears.
