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.

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

Undercover mission?

Yeah. There's no way I'd seriously join a creepy cult like this.

We gotta hurry.

I'll explain on the way.

"The Purification Plan"

Half a year ago, Jellal and the others asked me to investigate

the Avatar black magic cult and its connections to Zeref.

But just when my investigation hit a dead end, I ran into Gray.

That lacrima is amazing.

It's a portable communication lacrima.

After the weird pattern appeared on my body,

I regularly visited old lady Porlyusica for help.

Now I can control it on my own, as you just saw.

So, after discussing our current situations, we hatched this plan.

I agreed in part because Erza wanted my help,

but I was personally interested in the Book of E.N.D.

My dad wanted me to destroy it, after all.

But you didn't tell Juvia any of this? That's messed up!

I made him keep quiet.

The fewer outsiders who know the truth,

the more likely an undercover mission will succeed.

Telling others might also place them in danger, too.

So it was also for Juvia's sake...

Still...!

I truly feel bad for Juvia.

I had no idea the mission would last this long either.

The situation changed.

Originally, it was supposed to be an internal investigation.

But then we learned of their Purification Plan.

Avatar is planning to wipe out an entire city to summon Zeref.

They seriously believe he'll appear at a site of concentrated death.

We have to stop that from happening.

You should've wiped 'em out from the start.

It would've been easy for you and Erza.

That wouldn't work.

It turns out Avatar is a much bigger organization than we thought.

I was only inside one branch.

And each branch is kept secret from other branches and HQ itself.

One false step and we'd be unable to stop the Purification Plan.

So we had to wait until today.

Yeah.

We bet everything on today, when all the branches gather.

To destroy them and the Purification Plan.

Lucy...

Sorry about earlier.

I said some terrible things while they were watching.

No, it's okay. I should apologize for slapping you.

Well, being disciplined by a girl in a maid outfit wasn't so bad.

I-It wasn't like that...

I still consider you guys my friends, even now.

That's good to hear!

Then that simplifies things!

Let's go wreck this Purification Plan thing together!

Yeah!

Count me in, too!

Guys...

We didn't mean to drag you into this...

Doesn't matter if you drag us or we drag you!

We get to fight together again after a whole year!

There's only one thing to say at a time like this!

I'm fired up!

Where are Gray and Gōmon, Briar?

Aren't they dealing with the prisoners?

I understand why Gōmon stayed behind, but why Gray, too?

Do you suppose...?

Listen, "Bottom Lashes." None of that matters anymore.

Bottom Lashes?

Just look at all these followers.

Every member of every branch has gathered for the Purification Plan.

Even if No-Clothes or the Council do show up now,

they won't stand a chance against our monumental faith.

Mm, indeed.

"Bottom Lashes" might be acceptable...

The Purification Plan is finally happening.

We can finally meet Zeref!

We will now enact our Purification Plan upon the city of Malba!

This city is completely innocent.

Its 30,000 lives are in motion, oblivious to their impending fates.

Their pure souls shall bring Him, the black wizard Zeref...

...to this place!

We now offer these 30,000 souls so that we may walk beside Him.

Purify every life in the city!

Charge!

There's someone in front of the city!

Doesn't matter! We'll start with them!

Purify them all!

You're not takin' one step past us!

Bring it on!

I'm guessing you've gotten a little stronger?

Wanna find out later?

Don't forget me!

Open, Gate of the Golden Bull!

Taurus!

I'm all beefed up!

And...

Star Dress...

...Taurus Form!

It's round-up time!

Gray! Curse you!

What are you doing? There are only three of them!

Thrash them!

Sir Jerome! The enemy is attacking from the rear, too!

We're taking enormous damage!

What?! The Council's army is already here?!

A-Actually...

It's just one person!

All right! Let's get started!

Let's make it big and flashy!

This feels just like old times!

Aye!

You're the ones about to be purified!

Let's do it!

Yeah!

They're udderly powerful!

Now it's our turn!

Earth Wave!

Moo!

Okay! Now! Charge!

Lucy!

I'm fine!

My Taurus Form...

...has some serious power!

What the...?!

They're monsters! They're animals! They're... things!

Enough with the low-vocabulary quips, Mary.

I guess only we can put an end to them.

I'll deal with the enemy at the rear.

Gray and his friends are all yours.

It's time we show these sewer rats the true horrors of black magic.

It's clear that this lone fighter is quite experienced.

However, my dark sword is forged in forbidden black magic.

With it, I shall cleave and purify them.

Magic! Fight back with magic!

Requip!

Ataraxia Armor!

Fly forth!

--Are those her wings?! --No, they're swords!

They're flying around on their own!

Do you still intend to fight?

What a beautiful knight.

It's Jerome!

Dark Sword Jerome is here!

I won't let you interfere with our plan!

My Dark Sword corrodes everything it touches!

My sword...

...cuts without being noticed!

Do you still intend to fight?

Gray!

Briar!

How dare you betray us! Or should I say fool us?!

Was your time with us a complete lie?!

Of course it was, idiot!

Like I'd ever be pals with a pack of murderers like you.

It isn't murder! It's purification!

We're going to summon Zeref through purification!

So... was all your blather about the Book of E.N.D. a lie, too?!

That had some truth to it.

Someday, I will destroy E.N.D.

But not this way.

I'd be a disgrace to my old man.

This is udderly great!

Moo!

M-Miss Lucy...

What's wrong? You almost sound like you're in tears...

My stomach, it's suddenly...

I'm not in the moo-d to fight--

Wha...?! Now, of all times?!

Huh? No way...

Not me, too...

My black magic Virus spells can eat away at a person's body!

By the way, this one messes with people's guts.

Yep. If you don't get to a bathroom quick, things'll get messy!

Wh... What nasty magic...

I got it, too...

M-Miss Lucy...

I can't hold on any moo-re...

Are you one of Gray's old friends?

Are you from the oh-so-famous Fairy Tail?

It's hilarious how weak you actually are!

Get real. This is nothing...

I can handle this... just fine!

Just so you know, my Virus magic can take your life easy-peasy.

Like, it could mess up your brain, for example.

Moo!

Huh? My stomach doesn't hurt anymore.

Mine, either!

I feel udderly better!

Status ailments nullified...

...and status immunity enchantment activated.

Status ailment spells don't work against sky magic!

Wendy!

What is this huge army anyway?

Charle! What are you doing here?

Lucy! Behind you!

I know.

It's stomach payback time!

Lucy Punch!

G... G... G... G...

G... G-Grandfather...

That was amazing, Lucy!

Lucy Punch? Seriously?

Whew! You really saved the day there, Wendy!

But why are you here, anyway?

Well, actually...

You'll pay dearly for this, you mole!

Ah, there's your split-image magic.

Angry Briar!

Smiling Briar.

Sorrowful Briar.

Loving Briar.

I am furious!

I'm amused!

You intend to fight us with such measly power?

I'm sad. Because there's no choice but to kill you now...

And because I actually... fell a little in love with you.

Huh?

Does that make us romantic rivals, then?

What are you doing here?!

Water Claw!

How dare you hurt Loving Briar!

That's mean! So mean!

Tch!

You're starting to annoy me!

Chill out, all of you!

--This can't be! --The mighty Briar, taken out just like that?!

Gray, my love!

I missed you so much!

I had a feeling you were in trouble, so I rushed straight here!

I wouldn't actually call this trouble, but...

How did you even find me?

Wendy has a strong sense of smell!

I'm sorry.

I'll explain everything later. But for now...

I know.

--We gotta take these guys down! --Right, my darling!

Oh! It looks like Juvia's all better now!

--All thanks to Wendy. --That's not true...

I'm so glad!

There are still lots moo-re enemies to deal with!

Stay sharp!

--Got it! --Right!

Sky Dragon Wave Wind!

Dragon Force?!

We did some re-training of our own, too!

So cool!

Your Eminence.

The rear has been wiped out, and the front can't enter the city!

They're just too strong! We're fighting a losing battle!

They've reached us!

H-How is this happening?! We have 2,000 on our side!

But there's only seven or eight of them!

Doesn't matter how many you have. You can't beat us.

Because we're Fairy Tail wizards.

This is all within expectations.

When Ikusatsunagi shakes the earth, the purification will begin.

In that case...

...we'll go beyond your "expectations"!

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

The Avatar priest Arlock summons Ikusatsunagi,

a god of calamity and war beyond human understanding,

to bring the true Purification Plan to fruition.

The people flee wildly before the war god's overwhelming power.

Natsu, enraged by Arlock's contempt for life,

thinks of his friends and unleashes an all-out attack of his own!

Next Episode: "Ikusatsunagi."

"Ikusatsunagi"

The strength of their bond will be the light of evil's bane!
