I'm sorry. Some happy reunion this turned out to be.

I'll find him for you.

For all of us.

We're gonna get everyone back together...

...and rebuild Fairy Tail!

Hey, Natsu. Are you sure Gray's in there?

Yeah. No doubt about it.

We need to take him back to Juvia right away.

Man, this place sure is gloomy.

Why would they build it here, of all places?

These guys are shady, through and through.

--All right! Charge! --Aye, Sir!

Hold on!

That hurts, Lucy...

What's the big idea?!

We don't really know who we're dealing with this time.

Rushing straight in isn't the best idea.

But Gray might be in there!

Precisely. We need to be cautious and gather info first.

Fair enough.

Virgo can help us sneak into the church from under the ground.

Oh!

Come out, Virgo!

Open, Gate of the Maiden!

Vir...

...go?

No matter how far, far away we are

you just need to keep on believing

So, please, stop crying, look up...

...and let's move forward together

Why do you look down

and stare at the tears you've shed?

Even if today is a bust

we can always walk forward with faith in tomorrow

Having someone who can reach out to me

and someone I can laugh with

gives me a new strength

that can change the world as we know it

No matter how far, far away we are

you just need to keep on believing

everything is for you for you

The morning sun has driven the night away

I won't be afraid or hesitate anymore

I'm going to turn my dream into reality

So, please, stop crying, look up...

...and let's move forward together

Virgo needs help.

Wh-What happened?! Are you okay?!

Who did this to you?!

Oh, don't mind me.

Huh?

I had free time, so I decided to punish myself.

Are you for real?

There's so much to learn about celestial spirits!

Aye...

It's good to see you again, Sir Natsu and Sir Happy.

Well, whatever.

Okay! Here goes!

Star Dress: Virgo Form!

She transformed!

Reminds me of a certain scary armor person!

It grants her some of my abilities and increases her magic power.

Let's do it, Virgo!

Yes, Princess!

"Underground Clash"

Infiltration complete.

Is this the basement?

Hey!

Move your butt already!

Natsu. Lucy's panties were showing the whole time.

I wonder what the Avatar guys are doing here.

Beats me.

Farting around, I guess.

We need to find info about Gray without getting spotted.

Gray!

If you're here, show yourself!

That shouting...

I don't recognize his voice.

It's coming from inside the church. Does that mean...?

Intruders? This sounds like fun!

Natsu?

What did you do that for?!

You ruined our whole reason for sneaking in!

I assume this calls for punishment, Princess?

I found this. Feel free to use it on me.

You be quiet!

--Punishment it is. --Why me?!

Quit it already!

--He's here. --Huh?

Gray's here. I can smell him.

He's here?

Then there's no need for us to hide!

Hey!

Whatcha doing inside our hideout?

Is it something fun? Is it? Is it?

The enemy?!

Wait, that doll...!

It's Mr. Cursy!

Ack! Now I remember!

"Curse"

It belonged to that guy we fought on Tenrou Island!

Yeah, you had a lot of fun with it.

It was the opposite of fun!

"Curse"

Oh, you already know Mr. Cursy? How fun!

A former big shot in Grimoire Heart gave him to me.

He uses truly terrifying black magic.

So many bad memories...

Be careful.

This person is far stronger than he looks.

Sorry, but I only got business with Gray.

Abel!

Trouble is brewing!

Curse you intruders! How dare you "leaf" Abel like this!

Unfortunately for you, you broke into my personal training room!

Training room?

Just look at that flabby face.

Prepare to suffer torture upon torture!

Oh, is it punishment time?!

Don't react like that!

Tea-tea-tea-tea-tea-tea!

This is no time to be mesmerized, you know.

You did that on purpose!

Triangular Dummy Dragon!

How is this ugly thing a dragon?

While I actually attack with...

"Iron Maiden"

...the Iron Maiden!

Natsu!

What is this hurty-looking thing?!

Steep tight.

Natsu!

Oh, no!

Punishment completed... to a T.

Th-The iron! It's melting--!

A bitter end...

That's two down.

You're wide open.

Three down.

I-Incredible.

That's Natsu for ya!

Three of 'em, just like that!

I-Impossible... We're top-level black wizards...

How could this brat beat us?

He's way too much for you guys to handle.

I'll deal with him.

Yo!

How's it going?

Gray, my darling...

I'm...

I'm...

Juvia. I'm going to dry you off, okay?

So jiggly...

...and big...

These belong to my sweet Gray...

These fish are his...

Wh-What is she dreaming about?

Say, Wendy.

Yes?

Do you think they've found Gray yet?

Yeah. I hope so.

I hope they aren't quarreling.

Oh, but Natsu and Gray are always fighting.

It's normal for them.

That's true.

No... fighting...

Erza will get angry... and flatten you both...

I-It's scary how realistic that sounds.

That's also true.

Come on!

Stop it, both of you!

What are you lot doing here?

Likewise...

What are you doing here?!

I can do whatever I want.

You're wrong!

Juvia is waiting for you!

I'm waiting for you, too!

We're rebuilding Fairy Tail!

And we need you!

Don't be stupid.

Fairy Tail no longer exists!

In form only.

All our memories and bonds with our friends still exist.

Fairy Tail will always be right here.

Always has...

...and always will.

Then shouldn't that be enough?

If it's already in your heart, then leave me be.

I'm following my own path now.

Gray...

Fairy Tail is no longer a part of me.

So quit acting like we're friends anymore.

"Acting like we're friends"?

We've always been friends!

Stop saying such heartbreaking things!

We don't want to hear you talking like that...

After all we...

Lucy!

My stomach... suddenly...

Oh, it's you, Mary.

Who are these people? Old friends of yours?

Friends from that guild that went belly-up?

--Princess! --What did you do to Lucy?!

Simmer down!

These are made of Sealstone!

Natsu!

Mr. Cursy!

Thanks for the help, Lady Mary.

Now, now. Don't fight it. You're too weak.

Does it hurt? It hurts, doesn't it?

My black magic, I mean.

--Gray! --Simmer down!

These chains are blocking his magic, yet...

What brute strength!

Stop right there.

I-It hurts...

Princess!

Stop it...!

This is what you get for butting in where you don't belong, Natsu.

Wake up, Gray! A demon's taken control of you!

I am perfectly sane.

I removed my family's mark of my own free will.

To reach my answer.

He erased his guild mark...?!

Gray!

Gajeel. Someone is approaching.

I hear 'em.

It smells like...

I'm back.

Levy!

Well done!

Nice work infiltrating the cult!

Being petite certainly is handy!

Sorry for taking so long, everyone.

Sneaking in among the cultists was easy enough...

But sneaking back out was definitely the hard part.

Say, Gajeel. Did you get my news about Gray?

Yeah.

I wonder what happened.

It was as if his heart was completely consumed by darkness.

Doesn't matter.

Our job is to stop the Purification Plan.

What do you mean, it doesn't matter? Gray was our friend!

Not anymore.

If the Purification Plan happens, lots of innocent people will die.

He's part of that plan. You expect me to see him as a friend?

Can you really fight an old comrade?

He's our enemy now, plain and simple.

We have to stop the Purification Plan.

Fish... Fish...

Don't cook that... That's my...

Huh?

You're awake.

Yeah.

Is your stomach okay, Lucy?

Yeah. I'm fine now.

Where's Virgo?

The Sealstone closed her gate.

Gray, you jerk... What happened to you?

I can't believe he erased his guild mark.

He's definitely been taken over by something.

Or maybe someone's controlling him.

Yeah. Gray would never do anything like this.

Someone's coming.

He bowed to empty air!

Scary!

Where's Gray?!

Bring him here!

Sir Gray and the others are no longer here.

What?

They've left to begin the Purification Plan.

I, on the other hand, am here to find out who sent you...

...via torture.

Purification Plan?

The purification of souls.

The deaths of countless innocents will beckon Zeref's arrival.

L-Leave Gray out of your crazy schemes!

--You've noticed, have you? --Huh?

I-I'm c-c-cosplaying as Lord Zeref!

If you say so!

Wow...

I love Lord Zeref so much that I even got this in the Far East.

I can't read these characters myself, but I'm told they say "Zeref."

Uhh, they mean "powdered tea."

I think I did something bad...

That's enough, you noisy strumpet!

He can control his torture devices!

You only now noticed?

Let her go!

Quiet, you powerless prisoners.

Sit back and enjoy...

...the Gōmon Torture Show.

Lucy!

It won't come off!

They are Sealstone restraints, after all.

Whip torture...

Candle torture...

Water torture. Rope torture.

Foot-licking torture.

So, which shall it be?

Are you some kind of pervert?

Stop bowing to nobody! It's scary!

Just go with foot-licking torture. It can't be too bad.

No way! I don't like the sound of it!

It appears you have no understanding of how that torture works.

What's that? Salt water?

Indeed.

I slather your bare feet in salt water and release a goat.

The goat begins licking your feet to consume that salt.

Eventually, the goat's scratchy tongue will peel off the skin

and tear away your flesh.

Yet, the goat will continue to lick your feet... forever.

Wha...?! For real?!

Th-That sounds more painful than I thought!

Shall we try it out?

No!

You bastard!

Now, tell me who sent you...

...before the girl loses her feet.

Stop it, damn you!

I already told you!

We only came here to take Gray back with us!

How many times must I tell you? Sir Gray is one of us!

He's our friend!

But if he can't believe in himself, then we'll believe for him!

Silence!

Lucy!

What are you doing to her?!

Foot-licking torture is canceled!

This calls for chop-in-half torture!

Stop!

Do you still have faith in Sir Gray now?!

Gray...

Urgh. Dammit.

You guys ruined everything.

Code Blue here. I've hit a snag.

No, it's not that. Yeah.

Hell if I know. Ask him yourself. Yeah.

The pattern on his body...

--Put it to your ear. --What is this thing?

Is that you... Natsu?

Good grief.

So much for Gray's undercover mission.

Until you fall asleep, until you give that smile

You are beautiful to me more than anything

Under the same sky, we look up at the same stars

May the dream we shared come true now

There's no doubt we can achieve the future we wished for

as our harmonies connect and stretch endlessly along this path

Avatar's secretly-prepared "Time of Purification" approaches.

The goal is to offer countless deaths to the cult's revered Zeref.

After learning the details,

Natsu and friends hurry to the scene to put a stop to the plan.

The five members of Fairy Tail's mightiest team

take on the corrupted cult.

Next Episode: "The Purification Plan."

"The Purification Plan"

The fairies' solid bond will strike down evil.
