01x20 - Selene, the Moon Dragon God

[bunniefuu]

Selene, the Moon Dragon God?!

That's one of the Five Dragon Gods.

Oops!

You can't mention that!

We can probably tell the people of Edolas.

I never thought I'd hear that name
in this place.

Basically, we're in the middle of a quest
to chase after that dragon.

Now you're speaking politely?

You know about Selene, Mystogan?

Speak to His Majesty more politely!

I don't know much.

Other than it's a dragon that
can travel between dimensions.

However, our records say,

the Anima Project will fail
because such a dragon existed.

Indeed, the dragon could come here
to take back its magical energy.

Is this Elentear full of magical energy,
like Earthland?

That world is called
the Critical Magic World...

...because it's the opposite of Edolas.

It has so much magical energy,
that it overflows.

So it has way more magical energy
than Earthland?

But it's normal to have so much
magical energy in our world.

I'm not sure what it would mean
to have more.

What are you imagining, Natsu?

What's that?!

A ring of water?

Your Majesty, stay back!

Touka!

Sir Happy!

I'm so glad you're safe!

An Exceed?

What was that magic?

I see you've got better now.
That's great!

But why are you here?

And how'd you get here?

I traveled through Aqua Aera,
the magic I used earlier.

But, I'm afraid, the situation isn't good.

I'm going to explain everything now.

One thing I want to protect

One thing I can't give up

If we keep believing,
we create the future

Connect, Heart to Heart

Phases of the moon,
in a corner of the changing world

Someone's hope creates
someone else's despair

Sorrows that go round and round

Prayers are no longer enough

Rustle of the Earths,
swayed by odd coincidences

People come and go,
all of which have meaning

The desire of wanting to be strong

Is because I didn't want to lose you

You can always decide what's important
by looking at your own heart

Let's start the best endless story

Believe in Happy-Ending

Reach beyond the sky,
the bond in our blood remembers

Love is more reliable and
stronger than Magic

Resonate, Heat on Beat

Building on the present,
we are moving into the future

I promise you again and again

Let's meet again in amazing future

[Selene, The Moon Dragon God]

I'm an Exceed who came from
a world called Elentear.

Elentear?!

We were just talking about that.

So there are also Exceeds in Elentear.

Yes.

Although I said I came, the truth is,
I was dragged by someone.

I was likely taken over by
the White Mage in Elentear.

I also just learned that the White Mage
is a human from Elentear.

The White Mage used my body to cast
Aqua Aera and enter Earthland.

For what purpose?

I don't know.

It was all so I could save Elentear.

When we woke up in Earthland,
our personalities had become unstable.

Sometimes I was myself,
at other times I was the White Mage.

My memory was also hazy.

But thanks to Miss Wendy,
we were able to return to normal.

When the White Mage woke up,
she cast unstable Aqua Aera,

and sent herself and all of you here.

What?!

I get it.

Touka is the White Mage,
and then Wendy...

Hey! Don't fall asleep just because
the story became too complicated!

I believe she actually meant
to send you to Elentear.

But she failed and you all
ended up in Edolas.

Why would she do that?

Before she cast Aqua Aera...

I bet Natsu and the others can.

I bet Natsu and the others can.
They even defeated Aldoron.

They may be able to save Elentear.

Save Elentear?

Wait, she didn't even ask us.

And then she messed up.

Not that we don't want to save or not.

She's really brash.

This is the White Mage
we're talking about.

Is Elentear in danger?

No.

When I was there, it was peaceful.

That's why I can't understand what
the White Mage is thinking.

I don't really get it.

But let's go back to Earthland
to interrogate the White Mage.

We can bring Nasha, too.

No, we can't!

She's right.
We're only bringing Greige.

We can't either!

I'm afraid we have two problems.

What are they?

As I told you,
the White Mage is also in Edolas.

I can't just leave her be,
but I don't know where she is.

And the other problem is more serious.

Not even I can use magic in Edolas.

In other words, I can't use Aqua Aera
to bring us back to your world.

What about Anima?

That was also created using
a small amount of magical energy.

You mean we can't go back?!

What should we do?

Wait, Exceed.

Your Majesty, we still have
one X-Ball left, don't we?

So close.

Eks... Ball, what?

The one Mystogan gave us
last time we came here.

Right, it's a medicine that allows humans
from Earthland to use magic in Edolas.

Erza, bring it here!

Yes!

Are you sure about this, Mystogan?

Having another chance to help you...

Nothing makes me happier than that.

We'll ask Fairy Tail to help us
find this White Mage.

Their delivery network reaches
all over the continent.

Your Majesty!

We've received word that the woman
is in the custody of Fairy Tail.

Alright, let's get going!

Thank you for your help, Mystogan.

Well, I never thought we'd see
each other again.

I'm really happy.

It sounds like you've gotten
caught up in big trouble.

But I believe you'll be able to
overcome it.

Thanks!

Thank you so much.

Give my regards to Lily and Master.

Take care!

And you as well.

- Goodbye!
- Be careful!

Bye-bye!

Scarlet.

Is there a version of His Majesty
in your world?

Treasure him well.

Of course.

Over here!

Edo Wendy!

Look at there.

It's the White Mage!

How could you do this without
asking us first?

Natsu, calm down.

I'm sorry.
I had lost my composure.

Will you tell us?

Who are you?
And why did you do this?

My name is Faris.

I am from Elentear.

I came to Earthland a few years ago
with a certain purpose.

That is strange.

According to Jellal, you've been
in Earthland for 100 years.

It was around then when
the White Magic Cult formed.

That wasn't me.

The leader of the cult, Rebellious,
was called by the name of White Mage.

That person seems to be missing
at the moment.

I took the position using Whiteout.

I pretended to be the White Mage.

What?!
So you're not the White Mage?

So they're still out there somewhere?!

My goal was to render
the magic of Earthland white.

Why would you do such a thing?

It was all to save Elentear.

You expect us to believe that?

Of course not.

But it's the truth.

Elentear will be destroyed at the hands
of Selene, the Moon Dragon God.

Elentear has a different problem
from Edolas.

Its magical energy overflows too much,
like a volcano on the edge of an eruption.

It didn't feel that way to me.

Ordinary folks wouldn't know it.

For generations,

our family served as shrine maidens
to erase Elentear's excess magic.

Shrine maidens that could erase magic?

Is that Whiteout?

Yes.

If Whiteout wizards from different places
didn't do it several times each year,

Elentear would erupt in
a massive expl*si*n.

What the...

That sounds rough.

One day, I was visited by a woman
calling herself Selene.

Could you erase Earthland's
magical energy?

Why should I do such a thing?

The Five Dragon Gods.

What are those?

A group of five dragons, including me.

Dragons?

Just because we're all Dragon Gods,

doesn't mean we get along
with each other.

They're dangerous.

They must be eliminated.

Then why did you come to me?

I've traveled across worlds,

but couldn't find any wizards capable
of erasing magical energy.

Until I found this world.

That has nothing to do with us.

Of course it has.

I can't take a nap as long as the other
Dragon Gods are in Earthland.

If those four are not k*lled,

then I will take Elentear for myself.

You can see my magical energy,
can't you?

Yes...

Then, you also know that
you have no right to object.

But...

If you have that much magical energy,
surely you could do it by yourself.

I might be able to k*ll one.

But it's possible I may die as well.

Our power rivals each other.

Your power is necessary to
tip the balance.

After that, I stole Touka's body
and came to Earthland.

The first thing I did was take over
the White Magic Cult.

However, I took too much of
their faith in White Creed

and it drove me mad.

So that's what happened.

Selene planned to
overcome Aldoron by force,

then use Whiteout to control him,

and then use him
to fight the other dragons.

You wanted to control Aldoron?

Yes.

But as you know, I failed.

I destroyed all the orbs,
just as Selene instructed.

She told me that would rob
Aldoron of his power.

But instead, he was revived.

Why would Selene lie?

I don't know.

But it's true that I was fooled by her.

So to sum it up, Selene wanted to
get rid of the other Dragon Gods.

She asked you to Whiteout them.

When you tried to do Selene's plan,
it actually revived him instead.

What's with this chick Selene
trying to do, anyway?

Chick?

I don't understand.

What are her true intentions
to begin with?

Were you scared that Elentear would
get destroyed by Selene?

Is there no room for negotiation?

Even though the plan failed,
Aldoron was defeated anyway.

I'm afraid not.

From the very start,
I never cared about Earthland or Aldo.

Selene...

That's her?

There's a hole in the sky.

Is it Anima?

It's Aqua Aera.

What do you mean?

I've taken quite a liking to Elentear,
so I decided to live there.

I'll k*ll its people one by one, each day.

Think about it, wouldn't that solve the
"too much magical energy" problem?

Then what's the point of asking me
to do all that on Aldoron?

I just figured that reviving Aldo would make
the boring Earthland more interesting.

You meant to revive Aldoron
from the start?

Correct.

But I never imagined that
he'd get defeated.

He had grown weak, I guess.

You...

It's no good for me.

What I want is an ugly world
full of distortion.

Elentear fits that bill.

It's already full of distortion.

Please stop.

I can't wait, you know.
How should I stir it up?

Stop it.

Please don't destroy our world!

Your world was broken long ago.

Faris!

Screw you!

Natsu!

Igneel's son, the one who
defeated Aldoron.

Ignia's little brother, huh?

You're special.

I'll play with you for a bit.

How can they use magic?

It's getting darker.

It became night!

The space is distorted!

Welcome to Elentear.

What is that?!

The moon is...

It's coming closer!
That's impossible!

What's happening?

Everyone, are you okay?

Huh?

First, it was nighttime,
now it's daytime again.

And everyone is gone.

They'll be fine, right?

You can do it, little me!

What happened?

That was transportation magic.

Faris!

I'm glad.
It missed her vitals.

Where did Selene go?

Looks like she's not here.

Wait, we're on top of a cloud?

But how?

This place is...

...Elentear.

This is the world Faris and I came from.

Now, let's play, the Son of Dragon.

Thank you very much.

I'm fine now.

Your recovery magic is incredible.

Don't move yet...

Huh? The wound is closed already?

That can't be.

Hang on! We're on top of a cloud!

We're riding on a cloud?!

This is one of our islands.

An island?

It's like a fairy tale.

But it's so fluffy, it feels so good.

I'm starting to get sleepy.

Isn't this kinda like a vehicle?

Don't say that!

Anyway, we have to find Selene.

You are going to defeat Selene?

Not for you.

We can't forgive what you did
to our guild.

Since we're a professional, we're going
to set our personal feelings aside

and take down Selene.

Yes.

Such a splendid thing she said.

Did you say something, Wendy?

Nothing!

Sorry.

There's so much magical energy here,
that it caused me to awaken.

So that's the reason why
the recovery is quicker than usual.

At least she's saved.

Don't worry, I'll go back to sleep soon.

But Wendy, be careful.

This world's magical energy is not normal.

You said we're going to find Selene,
but how?

Let's go to my hometown.

I know someone who has
a great information network.

Touka...

I'm not doing this for you.

I just want to help Fairy Tail.

And of course for Sir Happy too!

What was that sound?

It came from down there.

From the ocean?

What the heck is that?!

A hand?

It's huge!

That is...

A hand.

Yes, a hand.

Yeah, we knew that!

Why is a huge hand coming out
from the ocean?!

Do you not have hands in Earthland?

Of course not!

What's going on with that?

I have a bad feeling about this.

Don't worry.

These hands don't harm people.

Look there!

A pattern is appearing on the hand.

That is...

What is that?

I thought you knew about that hand!

We had never seen one like that before.

Wait!

It's going to grab us!

Giant hand!

Oh no!
Everyone's on different clouds!

Damn it!

Carla, pull everyone back!

I can't! The wind is too strong!

What the heck is this?

Snow?

What did you do?!

I can't make snowfall!

Fall?

Hold on,
the snow is falling off the ground.

No, should I even call this "falling"?

You're right.

It's piling up from the bottom.

Anyway, where'd the others go?

We all got separated, huh?

Getting split in a world
we don't know a thing about...

This is bad.

I can't smell them either.

Anyway, we need to find them.

Everyone, where are you?

Alone in a strange world?
This isn't funny!

What do I do?!
I left my keys behind!

I can't use Celestial Spirit Magic now!

Eh, uhm....!

Someone, please save me!

I've been waiting for you to say that!

Taurus?

Nice outfit you got there, Lucy.

But how?
I don't have my keys.

I think it's because of
this world's magical energy.

Elentear is amazing.

What is this place?

A town, by the look of it.

What strange buildings.

There are no signs of people here.

Who's there?!

What are those?

They're not people or monsters, either.

Are those magical energy?

Magical energy is moving!

They're coming.

Prepare for battle, Wendy!

Got it!

Are they the humans
Lady Selene brought?

Now, show it to me.

Whether you're fit to be
Lady Selene's toys or not.

No matter how many times
I experienced it

I never got used to it

When you burn out, you can rest

You always held me like that

Someday, when we're healed,
we'll grab each other's hands

And stand up again

The hope that we once saw
far in the distance

Like a fairy tale, never fades

It becomes a story of the path
we've taken

With our wounded bodies, we support
each other to keep moving forward

The smiles illuminated by the morning sun

The shadows melted into the setting sun

All of them are ties we are proud of
