01x04 - Painted in White

[bunniefuu]

I've finally found you.

Touka, the White Mage.

I'm sorry?

Don't play dumb.

Why are you joining the Fairy Tail?

Why?

Because Sir Natsu is there.

Natsu?

Yes!

It was just over a year ago-

I know about you.

Considered to be a counterpart to Avatar.

You are the creator of Rebellious,

a group of White Magic Cult.

White Magic has a nice ring on it,

but the idea behind it is dangerous.

They're seeking to turn the world

into a white nothingness,

called the White Creed.

My apologies. Aren't you

mistaking me with someone else?

It's true that my name is Touka,

but I don't know about white magic.

I excel at water magic.

And where did you get

that water magic of yours?

I've done my research.

You've stolen that magic from a dragon.

There have been reports everywhere

about someone stealing magical energy.

Wizards whose magical energy has

been stolen can die from Hypomagia.

More than a hundred such cases have

occurred in the past few months.

I've figured that the culprit is

a member of the Rebellious.

And it led me to you.

A great witch who has lived for

a hundred years, the White Mage Touka.

I don't understand what

you are saying at all.

Come with me.

No! Stop it!

What are you doing with our member?

Laxus.

I will never fall into despair

in this world

Our real bond will open up

a path for tomorrow

At night, I even forget to notice

The continuation of dreams

I can't see

And the sounds of anxiety

that everyone holds

Let's accept it all

and make it come true

The time has passed at

an impossible speed

While I recall it,

the "present" is slipping away

I will never fall into despair

in this world

Our real bond will open up

a path for tomorrow

If you hold onto hope

after coming this far

I'll seek the meaning of

the promises we exchanged

For the "Story" of the future

(Dyed White)

Help me! This man has

a crazy misunderstanding!

Give that woman to me, Laxus.

I can't just hand over one of ours

for no reason.

That woman is dangerous.

You need to stay away from her.

I don't care how dangerous she is,

once she has the crest, she's family.

Even if she were evil?

Like you?

I'm also not a good person either.

But I've decided to protect

the people in my guild.

So what should we do next, cha?

To find the White Mage.

I have a lead.

A lead?

You know where that person is, cha?

More importantly, Kiria.

How long do you plan to keep that around?

Oh, you mean this?

She's my toy.

I think I'll play with her for a while.

Th Thank you very much.

That's unexpected.

I thought you liked to fight

strong people.

I do. That's my favorite.

But I also love seeing those strong people

being reduced to this state.

The gap difference is making me

addicted to it!

I'll keep playing with you

if you become a good girl.

Doesn't that make you happy?

Yes, thank you very much.

Good. What a cute girl.

Come, I'll show you something good.

What a bad hobby, cha.

It won't last.

Kiria gets bored fast.

And she will cut everything

she gets bored of.

They are the good things that

I want to show you.

Natsu! Wendy!

Erza

Erza

I'm sorry. It's all my fault.

Just obey them.

What happened to you?

Get a hold of yourself.

So "cutting her strength" has

made her become like this?

Obey them, like I do.

At least, they'll spare your lives.

Erza!

Damn it, give us back our Er-

They are Dragon Slayers.

So we captured them

instead of k*lling them.

Please spare them!

They're my cherished friends.

Sure, I'll let them live

a while longer for you.

Thank you so much.

Erza! Get a hold of yourself!

Charle, Happy, Lucy, Gray

Are you all safe?

They shouldn't have gone far yet.

When I woke up,

Erza and Wendy were gone.

I saw that group take them away.

No way.

Natsu and Gray too?

I'm not sure about them.

We have to help them!

Yeah!

Aye, sir!

Then please leave now.

Our Water God became like this

because you came here.

I'll give you one of Ermina's boats,

so go out from here now!

Lucy!

Happy! Charle!

Did you find their ship?

About that

There is a different ship.

A different ship?

What should we do?

Let's hide!

Hide?

We need to run away!

No need for that.

Gray?!

So small!

I happened to be passing by.

He looked like he was in danger,

so I shrank him.

You are

It's been a while, Lucy.

Brandish!

You seem to get into

more trouble as usual.

Long time no see, Brandish.

One of Alvarez's Spriggan 12

There are two fluffy-wuffies.

By the way,

the Spriggan 12 is disbanded,

Thanks to you guys.

Not that I care.

Running Alvarez without the Emperor

was a pain, so I left for a journey.

Ajeel is the king now.

He's reorganizing the government.

Are they gonna be okay with him

as their king?

He used to be one of Alvarez's princes.

Sure, he likes w*r.

But he's settled down since that battle.

He has Yajeel and Jacob, too.

As for Dimaria,

she lives quietly in the fields now after

she says she doesn't want to fight again.

It's hard to believe.

Invel and Neinhardt were thrown in jail

for plotting to start another w*r.

Larcade disappeared somewhere.

Irene, Bloodman, Wall,

and God Serena are all dead.

I lost Grandpa too in that battle.

I don't hate you guys for it.

I know you suffered losses too.

We can be friends, right?

Please help us!

Natsu and the others have

been captured!

With your power,

it would be a huge help!

No way. It's a pain.

She didn't even think about it!

When I saw you, I thought you might

be going after it, but I guess not.

Going after what?

Aquarius's key is on Guiltina.

I've come here to find it.

Whoopsie. Did I just help my enemy?

How silly of me.

Aquarius

Destroy my key!

Thank you for everything.

I don't mind being your friend,

but I'm not gonna give it up.

I'll take Aquarius.

I'll find her while you float here.

I

Lucy

It's okay.

Our friends come first.

Bye, then.

Wait! Turn Gray back to normal!

What's wrong, Juvia?

Well, my love rival sensor

just activated.

Glad to see you doing fine, Lucy!

And your smile is cute!

It looks good on you!

Let's see which of us find

Aquarius's key first!

I'm going to be in Magnolia for a while,

and I will watch that woman.

Good choice.

We wouldn't get away safely

if we decided to fight here.

Was she really the White Mage?

I never thought she'd be in Fairy Tail.

Things are getting complicated.

Erza.

What would you do in my shoes?

Thank you for taking good care of me.

But a true knight wouldn't attack

a sleeping opponent.

Natsu, Wendy.

Erza?

You're back, Erza.

It seems her "strength-cutting"

is some sort of hypnosis.

Magic that comes through the eyes

only half works on me.

So I was able to get back to normal.

But I will make her pay.

All right, I've removed

the magic sealing stone.

It's time for our counterattack.

But we are

on a ship.

Now that you mentioned it!

Impossible.

I just enlarged a rock from

the sea bottom.

Take care.

The shaking

stopped?

All right!

It's time for our counterattack!

What's happening?

She's gone?

She managed to escape?

I'm not running or hiding.

To pay back the humiliation

the enemy caused

is the Fairy Tail's way.

You broke my spell?

Magic that passes through my eyes

has its effect reduced by half.

Aren't you too naive to miss the chance

to k*ll a sleeping opponent?

k*lling a sleeping opponent?

That wouldn't be much of

a punishment, would it?

Is this your doing?

Nope.

I don't know why the ship stopped.

But thanks to that, we can move now.

I knew it was a mistake to

leave prisoners alive.

We should have turned you

into corpses.

Fire Dragon's Roar!

My ashes can turn even flames into ash!

Ashes normally come after

something burns.

My flame

That's cheating!

Natsu, my magic might

work better on him.

Sky Dragon's Sea-Raising Gale!

My ash is scattering?!

Now's your chance, Natsu!

Thanks!

What's happening, cha?!

By the name of Dragon Eaters,

let's eat them right now!

Thank you very much.

It's fine.

What did you do to her?

She's terrified.

I think she was just thanking me though.

Are you okay?

He didn't do anything to you?

I'm fine.

I'll scold Laxus later.

Hey

- Just tell us the truth.

- What did he do to you?

Hey!

Still, it's raining like crazy.

Here, a towel.

Still doubting her?

She just smiled.

And not the good kind of smile.

Look who's talking.

I heard there used to be

the infamous Rainwoman.

Here, in this guild.

You're talking about Juvia?

That's a thing of the past now.

That's why she looks so moist.

You little!

That's enough, Touka.

As a member of the guild,

we'll protect you.

And as a member of the guild,

is there anything you want to tell us?

Everyone has a secret or two.

You don't have to reveal anything

you don't want to.

But if you're hiding something

that puts this guild in danger.

Then, you won't be a part of

this family anymore.

I think I'll go home today.

An obedient pet is nice,

but this is good too!

What's wrong?

Weren't you going to punish me?

She's strong.

What shall I cut next?

Your sense of shame might

be interesting!

Your hypnosis won't work on me again!

The way to fight hypnosis is awareness.

Once I'm aware, it won't work.

Then, what if I were to sever your

feelings for the one you love?

Don't do that!

How cute.

I really can't stand her.

Focus.

It's not like I have feelings for him

or anything.

I never thought you'd be the one

who came to me.

Touka, the White Mage.

It seems you really know about me.

You are in my way.

Why are you joining the Fairy Tail?

Because they're too huge.

All that magical energy is

concentrated in one place.

Too much magic invites

chaos and destruction.

Those who oppose the Creed must

be returned to nothingness.

Fairies are just in fairy tales, after all.

If you think magic is evil,

then why do you use it?

I didn't say magic was evil.

Too much of it in one place

is the evil itself.

Anyway, I didn't come here

to argue with you.

I'll return you to nothingness.

What is this?!

Your magical energy is flowing into me.

Strong magic will give birth to "black".

Right. The "black" like Zeref was.

Before that happens,

I will dye this world white!

Run

Run while you can.

Before the one within me

comes up again!

What's going on?!

Hurry up!

I can't hold her back too long

You want to get in my way, Touka?

Don't hurt people more than this,

White Mage!

I've got you!

Gajeel, use iron bindings, now!

Got it!

To think Gajeel was actually right!

Are you okay, Jellal?

I knew it, you're black-hearted.

Would that be white because

she's the White Mage?

Well, who cares!

Looks like she passed out.

Another personality?

So Touka and the White Mage are

two personalities in the same body?

What's actually going on here?

I told you, there's nothing I can't cut.

No matter what you can cut,

you won't be able to cut our bonds.

Since we got a commission for

subjugating dragons,

I had Wendy put an enchantment on it.

Dragon-Slaying Blade: Belserion.

I'll test it out on you.

I can blow away any ash spells!

Good job, Wendy!

What a troublesome opponent.

Madmole!

Cha!

Armor Dragon's Steel-Fist Strike!

Fire Dragon's Iron Punch!

Natsu!

The Armor Dragon's scales can never be-

No matter how tough your armor is,

can it take my heat?

The Armor Dragon can endure

great heat, cha!

Then, I'll make it hotter, cha!

It won't work, cha!

Natsu! Do your best, cha!

Get burned!

Fire Dragon King's Purgatory!

Impossible!

He got through Madmole's armor?!

You and I are holding

the ends of the same rope

Pulling with a strong force

Creating a tense connection,

taut feeling

We've always helped each other out

no matter when

But leaning on each other

too much isn't good

It's time to let go

For both of us

Even if we part ways here

Our bond will never break,

it's an invisible belief

From this point on,

that will be something eternal

It's our story

O friend, this is where

we say goodbye

We can't keep supporting

each other forever

O friend, as if competing

against each other

We grow stronger by

standing on our own
