This spell we're under

is the real deal, I'm watching closely

Oh, I wonder if we can change this shattered world

Let's keep on journeying and picking up the pieces, every last one

Oh, if we can reach beyond the shattered tears

You think other people are impossible to understand

I'm gonna take away that sad notion

Let's begin

I just can't let it go

because it's just too sad

Your words, more than anyone else's

Your answers, more than anything else

are what I want to know

I want to keep shaking them up

Even if now isn't the time

My words, more than anyone else's

My answers, more than anything else

are what I want to give

So hear them and know

I want to see the same things as you

"When the Fire Dies"

I can't move at all...

Have I lost?

Natsu is really something...

But he's also naïve.

I'll always come back to life.

In just a few minutes, I'll be fully healed.

Zeref...

You've put my friends through so much pain and agony.

I can never forgive you for that.

As Fairy Tail's first guild master...

As one who has always valued tightly-knit bonds over blood...

...I want to rid this world of you right this instant.

Having you kill me wouldn't be so bad.

But... I'm...

It's okay. You can rest in peace now.

If... only I could...

If...

If only I'd had more faith in you then...

What are you talking about?

You loved me with all of your heart.

And, because of that, your Curse of Contradiction took my life.

Yet, my curse, which was assumedly the same as yours...

...couldn't take your life.

Deep down...

...in some part of my heart, I must not have had full faith in you.

My love wasn't strong enough.

You needn't blame yourself.

No one has ever felt love for me, anyway.

I realized that it wasn't love you felt for me...

...but compassion.

That's not true!

I felt conflicted, not compassion!

I learned to use magic thanks to you.

I was able to save Magnolia thanks to you!

It was thanks to you...

...that Fairy Tail was born!

I deeply admired you.

But...

You were also a bringer of death...

...and forced this fate upon me.

You hurt my friends...

...you used me...

...and you tried to destroy Fairy Tail.

I hated you so much... but I loved you, too.

Because I was the only other one who knew your loneliness...

The only other one who understood it!

That conflict makes it impossible to think straight... Impossible to calculate right!

The more I love you, the more I can kill you!

The more I care for you from the bottom of my heart...

...the more I'm able to kill you!

That was the key to my plan, but...

Mavis...

...in truth...

...I don't really want you to die!

I want us to be together, forever!

The more love you give someone...

...the more of their life the Curse of Contradiction takes.

Now I see...

The answer all along... was to be loved.

Thank you, Mavis...

I'm sorry...

Don't die!

I hate you! I hate you! I hate everything about you!

You destroyed the guildhall!

You hurt my friends!

You... killed Makarov...

Die! Die! Die! Die!

I don't love you one bit!

Just die!

I never want to see your face ever again!

I don't love you! I don't love you!

You're our guild's mortal enemy!

Our world's mortal enemy!

So, please...

...just...

...die.

Please don't die...

I... feel truly happy.

Thanks to you... I think...

...I can finally rest...

I wish we could've talked more...

I wish I could've made up with Natsu, too...

Take me with you...

...Zeref.

You need to live.

Do you really feel that way, from the bottom of your heart?

Oh, no... This means the curse will take you, too...

Let's go together, Zeref.

Mavis...

It's so nice and warm...

Of course it is.

This is the heart of Fairy Tail, after all.

Ah...

So this is what death is like...

This is the power that surpasses immortality itself...

The power of love...

The essence of magic.

What was that?

Is... the battle over...?

I... had a dream...

--Master! --You're alive!

Old man...

Such an odd dream, it was...

A warm life force flowed through me...

And I saw a barefooted girl smiling joyfully with a boy dressed in black...

--The book! --What happened?!

The writing is going back into the book.

I've done all that I can.

I wrote all of our memories into it.

Natsu...

The Natsu that we know...

...isn't some demon.

Lucy!

You messed with a demon's book.

I knew it'd be risky, but...

Now it's my turn.

I'll use my demon-slaying powers to clear it out of you.

Lucy...

Are you okay?

Thank you, Gray!

The patterns on your body are gone...

Look!

The book is disappearing.

Does that mean...?!

We beat Zeref.

When this book disappears... Natsu will, too.

Yo!

Natsu...?

Natsu!

Natsu...!

Yep!

It's over!

Yeah.

Nice work, Natsu!

Natsu!

Whoa, gross! You're getting snot all over me, Happy!

No, it's emotion juice! There's nothing gross about that!

No, it's gross!

Natsu...

So, um...

I think the First Master passed away.

Huh?

First Master...

But something tells me we shouldn't feel so glum.

I don't know how to explain it, but I feel like this was what she wanted.

Ah.

So...

...let's go back to our guildhall with a smile!

Aye!

Yeah!

Mm!

I... survived?

It seems so.

But why? I was--

Because you still have something you need to do.

Something I need to do...

You need to live.

For Ichiya and Anna, too.

You need to make the most of your life.

My life...

Huh?

A portable communication lacrima?

I forgot all about it.

Warren?

Whew! It still works!

I dropped this thing during all the fighting, but I finally found it again!

What's your situation, Erza?!

I'm with Jellal, Wendy, and members of Blue Pegasus.

Gah! I can barely hear you through all this noise!

Listen! I'll get right to the point!

We've sealed Acnologia inside a time rift!

Huh? Sealed? In a rift?

Two had to make the ultimate sacrifice, though.

Huh? What?! Say again--

We got cut off...

Well, we'll have plenty of time to talk later anyway.

What has happened to Natsu? To Zeref?

We need to return to Magnolia.

Did she say they sealed Acnologia away?

I gotta tell the others!

Huh? Acnologia?!

Yeah! They sealed him away or something.

Does this mean the fighting really is over?!

For real?!

Man! I was hoping for one last fight so I could thrash him myself!

Get real. You're all busted up.

Say what?! You want a piece of me, Gray?!

Shut it, Hothead!

Urgh. You seriously need some rest, man.

What?

Gray...

Oww! That hurts!

Oops. My bad.

What's the big idea, Droopy Eyes?! I oughta scorch ya!

See, you are all busted up, Porcupine Hair! Go sit on an icicle!

Thank goodness! They're back to normal!

Aye!

Let's head back to the guild already!

Yeah!

Your right hand is really hurt.

Yeah, I got a little too fired up.

But I can just have Wendy heal me up later!

There's the guildhall.

It brings back so many memories, even though we were just there.

It's finally over.

I can't wait to relax at home.

I have books I need to finish reading, and some manuscripts I have to finish writing!

As for me...

I need to thank Juvia properly.

I'd love to go on another adventure once things calm down!

Sounds good to me!

Count me in, too!

It'll be an adventure to track down Aquarius's key.

Aye!

I love fish!

She's only a half-fish creature, you know!

You mean mermaid.

That reminds me...

You said there was something you wanted to do once the fighting was over.

Aye!

Should we announce it, Natsu?

Natsu?

Wha...?

Natsu... Where are you?

Come on. This isn't funny!

Why--?

I rewrote it and everything...

So why?!

Natsu?! Where are you?!

This can't be happening...!

Natsu!

At the top of this hill, you can look down at the city

I'm sure the person you want to see is doing the same

I still remember what you said that day

"I'm fighting for someone."

You even have wounds that will never heal

So you lament that we'll never understand each other

and put on such a sad smile

I'll take you to a place where you can fly as far and as long as you want

So don't let go of me

If we can accept everything and reach that place

then I just know we'll be unbeatable

The battle should be over, and peace should reign,

but these "shoulds" fall apart with a bang.

Just as Natsu suddenly disappears from Lucy's group,

an ominous crack opens in the sky.

This fissure, a shrieking amassment of negative emotions,

threatens to destroy the world entirely.

Next Episode: "World Destruction."

"World Destruction"

The countdown to the world's end begins.
