Original subtitles

Whoa, you can't be serious!

However...

As a fellow guild member, I feel differently.

We absolutely must rescue our master!

So only the members in this room will participate.

A small team is best.

We'll infiltrate Alvarez...

...rescue our master...

...and then escape.

This is not a battle.

It's an infiltration and rescue operation.

We won't start any unnecessary fights or cause any trouble.

Is that clear, Natsu?

Y-Yeah.

We will rescue Gramps!

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

Mm. All the paperwork seems in order.

Lady Erza as your guild master, huh...

An excellent choice.

Now Fairy Tail is officially back!

Indeed.

So here's hoping Sir Makarov will turn up soon, too.

Right...

I have to admit, you do such good work

that it'll be painful for the Council to lose you.

I'm sorry.

But this is also good news for you, Sir Warrod.

Mm. I thought their leaving was a joke at first.

Now, if we can just rescue Makarov as per Mest's plan...

Sir Warrod! You're spilling your water!

Hmm?

Oh, this is my urine.

Just joking.

Give me a break, old man Warrod.

How long are you gonna play dumb, huh?

Sir Wolfheim! I didn't know you were here!

Whoa. It's one of the Four Emperors of Ishgar...

Oh, Wolfheim. Your name is as bizarre as ever.

Just joking.

Now listen, you!

Tensions are escalating between our continent and Alvarez,

yet you're content to stand around and water plants?!

Please stop, Sir Wolfheim!

Enough.

We are no longer vagabond wizards.

Now that we are members of the Council,

we must behave as model wizards in all ways.

Three of the Four Emperors of Ishgar, in the same room as me...

Tensions are indeed running high,

but it is our responsibility to stabilize the situation.

Should war erupt, our defeat is all but inevitable.

It falls entirely upon us to find a peaceful resolution.

Is Alvarez really that powerful?

We have God Serena on our side, after all.

Like us, God Serena was once a fellow Emperor of Ishgar

and the top-ranked Wizard Saint.

He was considered the mightiest wizard on the continent, in short.

Come to think of it, why isn't God Serena with the Council now?

What's wrong? Why is everyone so quiet?

Has something terrible happened to him?!

He has abandoned this land.

He traveled to Alakitasia and joined the Empire.

--What?! --Th-That can't be!

Emperor Spriggan is defended by 12 shields:

the "Spriggan 12."

And God Serena is now one of them.

Twelve shields? Wait...!

Indeed. There are 11 others on par with Ishgar's mightiest wizard.

Such is the Alvarez Empire!

"Law of Space"

W-We gotta... go by ship?

How did you think we'd get there?

Like, maybe Mest could zap us all there?

I can't teleport that far.

Wendy... Use a healing spell on me...

Wendy!

Sorry... Vehicles make me sick now, too...

Are you okay?!

Wendy can't use her Troia magic whenever she gets like this.

Want some fish?

Fine. I'll carry you into your bunks.

All done.

Where did your clothes go?!

--Oh, good question. --Stop! Stay away from me!

--Lucy! --Quit it!

What's the matter, Erza?

Or should I say "Master?"

"Erza" is fine.

The sixth master disbanded the guild to try to keep us safe.

At the same time, he protected the Lumen Histoire from the enemy.

That much, I understand.

But since I don't know what the Lumen actually is,

I'm left wondering why such drastic measures were necessary.

Whatever it is, it's clearly something along the lines of a weapon.

We did hear that Gramps almost activated it to stop the Faces.

Yeah. But he said he didn't have the courage to use it.

Are you saying that if he did activate it,

it could've stopped all of those Faces?

Wow...

The biggest mystery is why our first master's body is there.

Is she alive, or is she dead?

And what exactly is that projection of hers we sometimes see?

There's so much we don't know.

But I'm sure we'll get all the answers once we save our master.

How long will it take to reach Alvarez?

It'll take ten days to sail to Alakitasia,

then several more to reach the capital.

Master...

I understand how you feel, but we can't be hasty.

First, we'll stop by the resort town of Caracol

to stock up on supplies and food.

A town not named after a plant or flower...

Yeah, it's outside Fiore territory.

Do we really have time to get sidetracked?

I just said not to be hasty.

This is an infiltration mission. Thorough preparation is key.

What do you mean?

We're to rendezvous with an intelligence agent in Caracol.

They'll tell us how we can sneak into the empire.

Are you sure Laxus is all the way out here?

According to my intel, his toadies should be with him, too.

The Thunder Legion?

Oh, please. You came with us just to find Evergreen.

How did I get stuck on this team?

It's not your fault. Gray's team had already gone on without us.

Still, was it really necessary for us to split into teams like this?

They're on an infiltration mission, right?

Then they made the correct choice.

We wouldn't stand a chance against them in a fight, after all.

Our chance of victory would be 0%.

And I doubt an infiltration mission would fare much better.

The odds of either option working are close to nil.

That's why we're operating as separate teams...

To raise those odds even just a little. Right?

That was mean of you to leave without me!

Huh?

You're so tiny I just assumed you were in my bag.

My bad for forgetting you!

You dummy! You dummy! You dummy!

They're flirting.

If you're feeling lonely, I can get flirty with you, too.

Oh, no, that's okay...

But really, guys. Our enemy this time is extremely dangerous.

Don't even think of fighting them, no matter what!

There it is. Caracol Island.

All right. Get ready to disembark.

Wait!

What are those ships?

Alvarez military ships?!

What are they doing here?

Caracol isn't in Alvarez territory!

They're doing some kind of inspection at the harbor.

We can't even get close to the island now!

Sounds like they're searching for our spy friend...

It doesn't sound like they've caught the spy, though...

Huh?

You guys can hear them that far away?!

Just a little...

What do we do?

We need to make contact with our agent before they're captured.

The harbor is temporarily closed!

Form a single line!

We're checking the identities and belongings

of everyone who arrives or leaves!

What in the world is going on?

Apparently, there was a spy in the empire and they escaped here.

What a pain this is.

Now listen, Natsu. Behave yourself.

Yeah, I know.

Next.

We came here to sightsee!

We hear this island's Star Mangoes are truly scrumptious.

Aye!

--This is gonna be great, Big Sis! --Yeah!

"Big Sis"?

They didn't have to take it that far...

Is that symbol a guild crest?

We're from the Cait Shelter wizard guild!

The perfect disguise.

That brings back memories!

I've never heard of 'em.

I only know a handful of Ishgar guilds to begin with...

What do we do? They told us to check wizards extra-thoroughly.

I dunno...

Would the spy's pals really waltz in here with guild marks showing?

That's a good point.

Say...

Can you let us through now?

They're going to sell out of Star Mangoes, you know?

A-All right! Show us your belongings, all of you!

You may pass!

That was impressive.

You can say that again.

I guess human males are no big deal, either.

Charle. I don't think we did much to help at all.

You're cuter as a cat anyway, Charle.

Man... The town is crawling with soldiers, too.

We can't do anything careless.

You better behave, Natsu.

Why is it always me?!

Because you're the one who doesn't know what "infiltration" means!

I do too know what it means! It's like, you know...

What all those cool "ninjas" do! Nin-nin!

Give my daddy back!

Where did you take him?! Daddy!

This brat's as disobedient as his old man.

Endure it, Natsu.

We can't do anything about them, no matter what.

Daddy!

Shut up or I'll kill you!

He's just a child!

Is he insane?!

What's going on here?!

You're safe now.

Aww, crap...

Ninpou: Butt-Kicking Technique!

What the heck?!

Kids in swimsuits attacked the soldiers!

I can't believe it...

Stop right there! All of you!

Hmm?!

We're not getting off this island now!

Until we beat them all, anyway.

I'll take care of things here!

Wendy has a good sense of smell! She'll find your dad right away!

Mest. You go, too.

But...!

An angel?!

No! You gotta meet up with the spy!

Oh, right! While you keep them distracted!

Nice idea!

Ninpou: Multi-Team Technique! Nin-nin!

Be careful, guys!

You got it!

Don't go too overboard now.

It's hot out, so let's cool things down a bit!

Let's do it!

Seal off the area!

Capture them!

You wish!

What a disappointment.

Is Gramps seriously scared of these guys?

We can expect those ships to send reinforcements.

Hey. Can't we just ask these guys about Gramps?

I don't think that's a good idea.

They probably don't know anything,

and we'd basically be giving away what our goal is.

In any case...

--...don't let your guard down. --Yum!

Does she not realize what she's saying and doing are different?

Here you are!

Please don't cause more trouble, you hear?

My apologies.

Yet you're still doing business in the middle of all this trouble.

You gotta be one serious businessman to do that.

Yeah, brawls like this are common enough.

But my business is what matters most!

I'm saving up money to go to Ishgar!

Wow!

You guys are from Ishgar, yeah?

Yes.

My goal is to make the Star Mango a hit all over Ishgar!

Then I'm gonna start the best sweets shop in all of Ishgar!

Yes! That sounds like a delicious-- Err, delightful dream!

I only have this shabby stand right now,

but even I have a dream that keeps me going.

A ruckus like this ain't--

What the...?!

The food stand...!

A+! A+!

Who are you?! How dare you--!

Oh! I adore that look!

A+! A+!

My name is Marin Hollow.

I'm a member of the Alvarez Imperial Army's Brandish Division.

My mango dream...

He wrecked it...

Run, Mister.

Sorry. It's not much, but take that for the inconvenience.

I will avenge your Star Mangoes!

A+! A+! A non-stop A+!

Enough of your nonsense.

You will pay dearly for spoiling my sweets!

Requip!

What's wrong, Erza?!

My Requip... doesn't work!

No, no, no. "Space" belongs entirely to me.

Space?

Your "The Knight" spell lets you instantly equip stuff

stored in a different pocket of space.

But you're out of luck. Space magic doesn't work against me.

In that case...!

Open, Gate of the Horseman!

Celestial spirit magic... That's space-based, too.

No way...

Oh, I forgot to mention one thing.

Anyone who breaks the "Law of Space" in my presence...

What is this?!

My body...!

...gets invited to my relaxation space!

Lucy! Erza!

Hey! Where did Lucy and Erza go?!

It's like I said.

I invited them to my relaxation space.

They're both A+, so I'm taking them now.

But, you two...

...are F-.

You dumbasses are F-!

Talk about a sudden change!

He with you?

Mest!

This loser used space magic, too.

He's an F-! He's disgusting!

Dudes who use space magic are nasty as hell!

I'm a space magic specialist.

I am the law!

Damn! When did he get behind me?!

He who controls space...

...will always win!

This guy is serious trouble!

Enough playing around, Marin.

What is this insane amount of magic power?!

Lady Brandish!

Oh, you're always an absolute A+!

Could you quit that? It's grossing me out.

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

Brandish μ, one of the Spriggan 12, possesses massive magic power.

As one of the Alvarez Empire's main threats,

she shakes Natsu and friends to their core.

Meanwhile, in the Alvarez imperial capital of Vistarion,

the people celebrate the emperor's return after a year-long expedition.

Next Episode: "Emperor Spriggan."

"Emperor Spriggan"

So begins the encounter with the "ugly fairy" that rules the great darkness.
