Original subtitles

You hideous... demon!

Close. The name "Spriggan" actually means "hideous fairy."

--Gramps! --Master!

Gramps!

K-Kiddos...

Zeref...! Zeref was there!

Zeref!

So, you're here...

...Natsu.

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

Zeref is here, on this continent?!

I had no idea either...

The man known as Emperor Spriggan is actually Zeref, in the flesh.

--Spriggan... --...is Zeref?!

If you guys are here...

...I take it Mest has filled you in on the situation?

Yes.

I'm just so glad you're all right.

I was too naïve.

They never had any intention of negotiating from the start.

I even tarnished our guild's history before journeying west...

But it was all for nothing! I've never felt such regret!

It wasn't for nothing. This past year helped us all grow.

And that's how we were able to get back together.

I believe anything you do for another's sake is always meaningful.

Because that's what you taught us.

Let's go home, Gramps...

To Fairy Tail!

Yes.

"To the God-Forsaken Land"

So...

We have lots of catching up to do, but let's get out of here first.

Yeah.

Who is this person?

I used too many Direct Lines in a row.

I only have enough power to teleport us one more time.

I'd like to use that last teleport to reach Sorano's ship.

So we need to head back until we're within range of her ship.

Aww, leaving so soon, Makarov? We just became friends, too...

Did you get your farewell gift?

'Cause you're about to end up in the ground.

Ajeel!

Impossible! How did he find us?!

Sand!

Sand is nice. It tells me everything.

This guy's got as much power as that girl on Caracol Island...

Nice...

Stop!

Don't fight him! He's too powerful! Run!

But...!

You heard our master! Retreat!

--Damn! --Everyone, retreat!

We have a magic-mobile ready and waiting!

Now! Get in!

A car...!

I'll drive!

SE plug, connected!

Here we go!

So those are Makarov's soldiers...

Huh.

Nice...

--Hit it, Erza! --I know!

--He's coming! --Huh?

What is that?!

Sand?! It's a sand monster!

Drat!

No good! It's gaining on us!

Lucy! Let's attack back!

Yeah!

Oops! Sorry!

Stop! He's too powerful for us!

We won't know for sure unless we try.

Star Dress...

...Sagittarius Form!

What is this magic power coming from Gray?!

And... Lucy, too?!

They're nothing like they were a year ago!

Ice Make...

Oh? Gonna fight, are ya?

...Silver.

The entire area instantly froze!

Incredible!

Nice one!

The sand turned into creatures!

We're on it!

Star Shot!

Nice! Nice!

He vanished!

Below! He merged with the sand!

Antlion Pit!

Oh, no!

Damn!

Nice! You guys look so clumsy and pathetic!

Hurry! Out of the car!

Curses! The magic-mobile...!

Happy! Hang on!

There's sand in my mouth!

The sand...!

It's grabbing onto us!

I can't move!

How many people has it killed?

How many cities has it swallowed?

This Antlion Trap is the doorway to doom.

No one has ever escaped it.

Here's one last tidbit before you die!

We've exterminated so many wizards like you that I've lost count!

We're on a totally different level than you maggots!

Ishgar has been forsaken by the gods!

But it'll fall under Alvarez's control soon enough!

Sucks to be you guys!

Nice! That look on your faces is nice!

Forsaken by the gods, huh?

Not a problem!

'Cause Fairy Tail is still around!

He evaporated the sand--?!

It's been years since I took a nice punch like that!

Nice! Bring on more!

Freeze!

Dry.

What?!

The sand is wrapping around us!

Oh, no! This sand...!

Curse you!

Whoops!

I won't let you take my kiddos from me!

Stop, Gramps! We can fight!

Natsu... Please don't yell...

Oh? You think you can protect 'em all like that?

You don't understand the power of the Spriggan 12 at all!

My sands of death will swallow you whole.

Mest! Teleport us!

Where to?!

Gramps!

I will keep you safe, if it's the last thing I do!

I swear it!

This is the end!

This sandstorm strips the moisture out of everything it touches!

--Gramps! --Master!

Gramps!

Please! Run!

One fairy mummy, coming up.

Laxus!

Laxus!

He disintegrated that sandstorm with one attack?!

The guy's as flashy as ever.

Awesome!

You're gotten much older, old man...

We're in enemy territory! We gotta pull back!

Hop on! Although it's technically his ship!

Gajeel?

I smell Levy and Lily, too.

Wait, but that's a ship! How are you and Laxus not sick?!

Gray, my love! I'm here, too!

L-Let me say something, too!

Stop, Big Brother Elf.

This ship's been customized so Dragon Slayers can ride on it!

Oh? Have you gotten a little bigger, Wendy?

She's gone from a girl to a lady.

Everyone's grown this past year.

Umm... I haven't changed much, actually.

Mest! I assume you're down there! Teleport onto the ship!

Got it!

You're not running away!

Running?

We're just going home. We don't wanna miss supper.

Whoa...

Are those guys for real?

Was that barrier your doing?

It is painful to lose a comrade, Ajeel.

You're suggesting that attack would've killed me?

You must be getting senile, August.

It begins, Natsu.

You guys made it out okay!

Nice work!

Master rescue mission, complete!

What are you guys doing here?

We hatched our own plan to rescue Master, too.

And Laxus was one part of it.

How dare you run off without us!

It was a covert operation.

This ship is awesome! I don't feel sick one bit!

Anyway, let's fight, Laxus!

You're annoying.

Everyone...

Fairy Tail is the finest family I could ever ask for!

Here's to Fairy Tail's official return!

Cheers!

Welcome back, Master!

Wait. If Erza is our master, then he's, uhh...

Mr. Makarov, I guess?

That doesn't sound right somehow.

Call him "Master." I'm stepping down.

Little Asca! I'm back!

Does this make him our eighth master?

So this is his third time? How many times has he revived?!

Uhh, he never died in the first place...

At this point, I'm staying as guild master till I die.

Now that's manly!

We've heard you say that before.

Booze! Bring on the booze!

Let's drink!

I'm still surprised you guys joined Blue Pegasus.

Entertaining customers isn't a bad job at all.

But I feel much more at home in shabby pubs.

Did Laxus, umm... do any "hospitality" work, too?

Once in a while. And was it ever hilarious!

Just mind your own business.

Say, did you manage to contact Sorano?

Yeah. She was really fuming, too.

Then there was a temple that could go through the ocean

and then there were lots of fishies there!

They looked so yummy!

Huh. So vehicles affect you, too, now?

--Yes... --Don't sweat it!

I've always been that way!

Uhh... Is that supposed to comfort her somehow?

--You pickin' a fight?! --Bring it on!

How did that conversation turn into a fight?!

I can't ride in horse carriages anymore...

Is that that big of a deal for you?

Gray, my love! Please give me your "hospitality," too!

What are you talking about?!

Fairy Tail's the best!

Are Star Mangoes not available in this kingdom?

I've never heard of 'em.

Do they taste manly?

Yuck, that sounds gross.

Sheesh! The place is so noisy!

Still, it looks like things are finally back to normal.

Yeah.

Our master has finally returned to Fairy Tail.

As have Laxus and the Thunder Legion.

We learned that the Alvarez Empire on the western continent

is home to wizards more powerful than we ever imagined.

We also discovered that the black wizard Zeref

rules over Alvarez under the name "Emperor Spriggan."

And now he's about to spring into action to take the Lumen Histoire,

which is actually our first master's body, beneath our guildhall.

A war is about to erupt,

and it'll probably be the most grueling fight we've ever faced.

I don't want to lose anyone.

I want to win like always...

...so we can keep laughing and smiling like this forever.

At the time, that was my one and only wish.

Everyone... I'm sorry.

I won't make excuses. I took your home away from you.

I'm truly sorry.

Mest explained everything!

You did it to protect us, right?

It's no big deal at all.

Yeah! We have our guild back now anyway!

Wipe that grumpy look off your face! You'll ruin my booze!

What's more, my plan was all for nothing.

Alvarez is going to invade.

They're a vast superpower, and they'll be coming straight for us.

So what?!

We've fought for our guild before. Time after time.

We've fought for what's important to us,

no matter how tough our enemies were.

That determination has always made us stronger.

It's not that I'm not scared.

It's more like I have a heavy burden I dunno how to let go of.

But I know I can count on everyone.

What I am afraid of

is never having fun times like this anymore.

We have to fight, so we can all laugh and smile together again.

We have to make a stand!

Not to win, but to live!

That's what our fight is for!

Looks like everyone's made up their mind.

So have I.

Listen up!

We're going to make them regret messing with our family!

Let's take 'em down!

I'm all fired up!

Let's win this thing!

Goes without saying!

This is one fight we can't lose.

Our enemy is Zeref!

E.N.D...

We'll be just fine!

I'm gonna fight, too!

I will protect the guild this time. I swear it!

And I'd like to show off the results of my year of training.

Huh?! You did training, Mira?!

Yeah, she's way, way stronger now! So am I!

Man, I love this guild!

Before the battle begins, there's something I must tell you all.

It's about the Lumen Histoire, formally known as the "Fairy Heart."

Perhaps I should do the explaining, Sixth--

Err, Eighth Master.

First Master?!

Is this a projection of her?! Or is it...

Everyone...

Fairy Heart has always been our guild's most confidential secret,

because it holds something that the world must never learn of.

However, it's also important you know why Zeref wants it...

...and about my own sin.

First Master...

It's all right.

The time has come to reveal everything, that's all.

This is a tale of a cursed boy and a cursed girl,

and a tale of the primordial magic they sought.

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

Over a century ago, a girl living in a turbulent world

crossed paths with a young black wizard.

The ever-turning gears of fate offered chance glimpses of hope,

but they also produced a tragic contradiction.

Next Episode: "Mavis and Zeref."

"Mavis and Zeref"

This is a story of the primordial essence of magic.
