09x314 - Master Enchant

[bunniefuu]

[NARRATOR] Irene Belserion

stands alongside August

as one of the Alvarez

Empire's mightiest.

It has also been revealed she

is Erza's biological mother.

In her earlier life, she was

known as Queen of the Dragons,

as well as creator and first

user of Dragon Slayer magic.

However, the power she unlocked

with this new technique

caused her to transform

into a dragon.

[NARRATOR] Tortured and

desperate to free herself

from this new, monstrous body,

she attempted to enchant

her consciousness

into her unborn child,

with the hopes of gaining

a new chance at life.

Her plan ended in failure,

and the child was left behind.

And after being granted a

human appearance by Zeref,

she now works to

realize his ambition.

The estranged

mother and daughter

now face each other

on the b*ttlefield.

Will Erza's hearfelt

determination be enough

to overcome Irene's

immense magic power?

[ERZA] You may technically

be my mother,

but Fairy Tail is my family.

Anyone who stands between me

and my home will pay the price.

It's interesting.

I thought sharing

your birth story

would spark the smallest

bit of love for you.

Perhaps reawaken my

dormant maternal instinct.

But it didn't work.

All I feel for you is

hostility and disgust.

[ERZA yells]

I became a queen because of

my unparalleled magic power.

You still believe

you can defeat me?

My family gives me power.

You threw that away!

[gasps]

[WENDY]

Sky Dragon Wing att*ck!

Crimson-Black... Twin Blades!

You actually broke my skin.

How dare you.

I'm sorry for what you

went through in your past.

But still, you turned your

back on your only child.

I can't forgive that!

[IRENE] Listen up,

little Dragon Slayer.

Do you remember the Dragon

Seed I mentioned earlier?

The thing that took over my body

and made me into a monster?

You have one. It's growing

inside you as we speak.

Yes. I know that.

And I also know that my mother

stopped it from

growing years ago.

So you can't use it to scare me.

She what?

We won't turn into dragons.

We're not like you.

I suppose neither will Natsu.

[LUCY]

Come on! Wake up, please!

[HAPPY]

Just open your eyes!

Natsu. We need you!

[LUCY]

I'm really scared.

Don't you dare give up!

You need to keep calling

to him. Tell him you care.

Otherwise, his life may

slip away forever.

Natsu. Stay strong.

[HAPPY]

Natsu! Come back! Natsu!

[NATSU]

Wait.

Wendy? Gajeel?

Where'd you guys run off to?

[IGNEEL]

I have your answer.

A Dragon Seed.

That is what has been growing

inside of you, Natsu.

It is the curse all Dragon

Slayers are destined to bear.

The seed grows over time.

Eventually, it transforms

its carrier into a dragon.

However, years ago, I halted

the growth of your seed.

It's really you.

[IGNEEL] The seed in

you should remain incapable

of growing any further.

[NATSU]

But did it only work

while your dragon soul

was in me, too?

[IGNEEL] No. That's not

what's affecting you now.

You should know there is

another seed inside you.

You could call it

a "Demon Seed."

It makes you who you

truly are: E.N.D.

Those two seeds are getting

close to merging--becoming one.

That is the change

you've been feeling,

what's creating such

turmoil in you.

[NATSU]

And that's what's gonna k*ll me?

When they merge?

[IGNEEL]

Yes. You're going to die.

[IRENE]

I see.

The dragon that cared for

you entered your body

and halted the Dragon

Seed's growth.

The dragon who granted

me my magic, Belserion,

d*ed right before my eyes.

So I took his name,

and swore on my own life

that I would avenge him.

All those centuries of pain,

and now... now I learn it

could've been prevented?

[growling]

It was all for nothing!

I will have my life

restored to me!

I'll leave this body,

and at last be free!

I can put you out

of your misery!

Wendy!

Ready!

All physical abilities up!

Deus Eques!

Very clever.

Separation Enchant Deus Zero!

I'll cancel your Deus Zero

with my own Deus Zero!

Really? This girl casts

high-level enchantments?

[yelling]

[chuckles]

It's over! This is the end!

[ERZA yells]

Now I understand.

At last... I know why the

enchantment on you failed.

[IRENE] I'd thought it was

because you were an infant,

or that our biological

connection got in the way.

Or perhaps the whole

concept was flawed,

and enchanting a

person's identity

onto another was

never truly possible.

The key is compatibility.

I've just realized

that's the only factor

that makes a difference.

[gasps]

[IRENE] And now I've found

someone who's compatible.

A Dragon Slayer

and an enchanter.

One with a youthful body

that will never succumb

to the dragonification.

[gasps]

Wendy!

Ahh. I've waited so

long for this day.

Her magic is a bit weaker,

but I suppose that's fine.

What did you say?

[WENDY] I will have a whole new

life thanks to this body.

Irene Belserion has been reborn.

I'll get used to this.

It shouldn't take much time.

No way!

[WENDY] My left thigh

is slightly injured,

and I seem to be covered

in scratches and bruises.

But I really can't

complain. It works.

What a petite little

thing. So cute!

[ERZA]

What happened to Wendy?

Pay her no mind. She's nothing

but a pile of flesh now.

What have you done with Wendy?

Oh, she's gone.

Or, rather, I suppose

you could say...

...she's here.

Stop this nonsense.

Get out of her

right this instant!

Are you really that

slow-witted, Erza?

This isn't a form of possession!

I have become this

Dragon Slayer.

Your dear mommy has

no use for you anymore.

Despicable!

[gasps]

[WENDY]

Hmm.

My magic power hasn't gone

down as much as I thought.

It seems this little girl is

a wellspring of potential.

I may be a child now,

but playtime is over.

And as you can plainly see,

I'm far too young to

be a mother to you.

I can't truly focus on

the new life ahead of me

until I've completely

erased your existence!

Sky Dragon Slayer magic,

huh? Let me try this out.

[laughing]

I think I like it!

[ERZA screams]

Please, Wendy! You have

to push her out!

[WENDY]

It's no use, Erza.

The girl you knew is dead.

Because as of today, I'm Wendy.

I am Wendy Belserion!

[ERZA]

You're just a parasite.

Hear me? You can't have her!

[ERZA yelling]

Are you sure, Erza?

Can you hurt your friend?

I know all too well the pain

of losing a loved one.

But with our help, you can heal.

Come with us.

Be part of Fairy Tail.

Thanks, Erza!

This time, I'll protect you

for all you've done for me.

You fool!

You're too soft to

survive this w*r.

[laughs] I've enchanted

your armor.

Explode!

[ERZA screams]

That barely even hurt me.

[gasps]

[IRENE] All attributes...

and resistances up.

Deus Corona.

[IRENE] Since we can both

perform enchantments,

I thought I'd try out your

body-switching trick, too.

Guess it worked.

It took a little while...

but here I am.

Erza, it's me. It's Wendy.

Wendy!

Impossible.

This is different. Heavy.

There's no way!

That little girl was

somehow able to pull off

a full personality enchantment?

I feel so strong. It's great.

I think I'm gonna use

this new power on you.

Teach you a lesson.

Now!

Erza! You should duck!

How?

My old body... used against me?

Separation Enchant.

[BOTH gasp]

[BOTH] You can try, but you

won't pull me out of here!

You're wrong.

You said yourself your

new body is weaker.

This girl. Who is she?

Now give it back.

Give back the old me.

This body does have

its advantages.

But I've lived my whole

life being small.

I want my old self back!

Damn you!

What is she--?

Do you still want to have

it back that badly, huh?

It took so long to

be human again!

You hear me? I won't

let you take it!

I'm proud of all my scars.

They're proof I've

fought for what I love.

And they remind me that

even though I suffered,

I still healed.

So go ahead and give me more,

they only make me stronger!

And that body...

remembers the warmth

of every friend

who's comforted me,

held me in their arms.

Wendy!

[growls] Damn you!

Erza?

Wendy! It's really you?

[WENDY]

Yeah. Hey.

If you don't mind,

can you handle the rest?

Sure.

I'll be happy to put

an end to all this.

You're just wretched

little girls.

[ERZA] Trust me, Wendy.

This will be over very soon.

You believe that?

You're in way over

your head, Erza.

I've been building up

my power for centuries!

All that time I protected you.

I held you inside my womb.

And from the moment

you were born,

you've been nothing but a

complete disappointment.

Why must you stand in

the way of my happiness?

I know you've

endured much misery!

But still! I won't

take pity on you!

What the hell do you

know about suffering?

About true misery?

After you abandoned me

in Rosemary Village,

I was taken by a cult.

For years I was a sl*ve.

They tried to take my humanity.

I realize it's not

years of pain,

but it affected me profoundly.

Changed me.

It's why I'm the

woman I am today!

Why I keep my heart open!

Why I was able to

find my true family.

With their love and care,

I could overcome my pain,

and begin to heal!

Enough of this nonsense.

Your whole existence is

nothing more than a mistake.

I never should've had you!

So now I'll have to k*ll you!

It's the only way!

[yelling]

No.

[cries]

A-A dragon?

[ERZA gasps]

[screams]

[ERZA]

That was just one hit.

I feel like my bones

are shattered.

[gasps]

[screaming]

Let's see you move now.

[IRENE] As a Sage Dragon,

my power has been amplified

well beyond your imagination.

I possess the supreme form

of enchantment magic:

Master Enchant.

[IRENE] This power

transcends the terrestrial.

The land, the sky, the sea,

everything of this world.

It affects the heavenly bodies.

[ERZA]

No... I can't move.

[IRENE] Now, Erza, prepare

to be obliterated.

I'll turn you into dust!

Deus Sema!

No. Is she truly that powerful?

[ERZA] Jellal uses a

version of this spell.

But this is

exponentially stronger.

There's no way I'll survive it.

What's worse,

it won't only k*ll me.

Thousands of people

could be wiped out.

Do you see that?

A sh**ting star?

It's comin' right at us!

[ERZA]

Damn it! I can't just lie here.

I have to move. Come on!

[IRENE] It's over, Erza!

This is how you die!

[laughs]

[ERZA]

I can still move my right arm.

[ERZA]

It's all or nothing!

[gasps]

[yelling]

[IRENE] Are you flying

straight into the meteor?

You're speeding up

the inevitable!

[ERZA yelling]

[IRENE] It's pointless!

You can't stop it!

You're just a human!

At some point in time, people

started calling me Titania,

the named shared by a

legendary Fairy Queen.

Honestly, I've never

given that much thought

to what people chose to call me.

But if you're the Queen

of the Dragons...

...then I'll take the name

Titania with pride.

A queen who cherishes her

people and protects them.

I'll do all I can to

help those in need,

even if it ends up

destroying me!

Lend me your strength,

Master! Please!

My daughter...

is she even human?

[LUCY]

Irene unleashes Deus Sema,

a powerful spell that

can control objects

that are not of this world.

With only one arm,

Erza att*cks the meteor

hurtling towards the ground,

risking her life to

save countless others.

While the Queen of the Dragons

brings about v*olence

and hatred,

Titania shares her

love with everyone.

The end of this intense

battle between mother

and the daughter she left

behind is drawing near.

Next Time: "Dragon or Demon."

A warm smile will bring new

life to a dying memory.
