The Fairy Heart must never be released into the world, no matter what.

We'll now devise our strategy.

Please listen well, everyone.

Zeref will come at us with his entire army.

There's no question that we face an overwhelming disadvantage.

And our foe is far more powerful than any we've faced before.

But we will prevail with our courage and bonds.

Let's show them what our guild is made of!

Me & you made it through the bad times

Change the game - You taught me the importance

of sharing roundabout times that are too much to overcome alone

I have faith in our vision

for the future - Sure enuff (uh, uh huh)

Unneeded reasons, lingering hopes, and feelings of apprehension

Just ball it all up and let it go

No matter what happens, keep ya head up

Now let's go, to the future we seek

We can make it (uh huh)

There's no stopping us (uh huh)

The world may change again today,

but you're my family (uh huh)

We have an unwavering wish and dream

We are down by law - Just know this

We'll never, ever run from a fight

We are down by law - no matter what walls stand in our way

We'll go right over them - Woo we do it for real

(We do it for real)

Fairy Heart...

A type of everlasting magic power that can never run out.

Zeref is going to invade us to obtain it.

But we must protect it...

We can't let the thing be used for evil.

No, it's not a "thing." It's our first master's body.

That, alone, is reason enough for us to keep it safe.

She created this guild, after all.

Had it not been for her, we never would have met.

Oh! That's some great stuff!

You're on your way to being a real novelist!

"The Magnolia Defensive War"

"Had it not been for her..."

"...we never would have met."

You guys keep barging into my home without permission!

It's no big deal!

Aye. Plus the town's all quiet and boring.

Oh, right. They must've finished evacuating the citizens.

Soooo...! Let's have some fun!

Look! We brought all kinds of stuff!

We're leaving for the enemy's predicted point of arrival tomorrow, you know.

This is no time for games.

Besides, unlike you two, I'm not excited to fight.

I'm not excited, either!

It's true that I like to fight, but you kinda have the wrong idea.

I like fighting when it's about competition--not death.

I love fights that are about giving your all to see who's stronger.

But it's different this time.

I'll doing anything for us to win this time.

'Cause we won't survive otherwise.

Plus, I have something I wanna do after it's over!

Aye!

And here's what it is!

Stop right there.

Don't say any more.

In fiction, this is what's called "foreshadowing."

What's that?!

It's like when someone talks about a happy future before a battle

but then tragedy strikes and keeps their dream from ever happening.

We don't care about that junk. Right?

Aye.

Igneel told me to talk about the future.

Because it gives you the strength to live!

That is another way of looking at it.

All right! Now let's play some games!

Let's do strip poker!

Absolutely not! Besides, you're already naked!

Do you think Crime Sorcière will really help us?

Well, given that Zeref is the enemy, I'm sure they'll join in.

That's reassuring to hear!

Even though they were the ones who destroyed Cait Shelter.

Charle!

Come to think of it, I was the one who invited you to join Fairy Tail.

We're very grateful!

And... I was the one who dragged these girls into all this fighting.

I must protect them both, no matter what.

Erza!

This time, I'll protect you.

You've grown into a truly wonderful wizard.

You're the guild's pride and joy.

Gray, my love.

Juvia...

Want some?

M-My darling's half-eaten food!

I appreciate you.

You'll always be by my side, right?

Err, u-umm, u-uhh... I...!

I'll give you my answer once the battle is over.

So let me focus on this for now.

Okay.

It's my secret weapon for beating Zeref!

I have a special trick up my sleeve, too.

Zeref...

E.N.D...

I'm coming for you.

Warren. Has your scanner picked up anything?

No signs of the enemy in Fiore yet.

Can we really trust that thing, though?

I personally built this ultra-high performance radar!

The north, the south, or the west...

Knowing which direction they'll make landfall from

will help us devise a plan.

A diversion in the north with the main force in the south

would be the most orthodox strategy.

First Master!

I just checked up on everyone, before the battle begins.

Not one is apprehensive about the situation we're in.

They're a very hardy bunch, indeed.

Is that how they seemed to you?

The way I see it, they're desperately trying to hold back their unease.

They're trying to ease that anxiety and boost their spirits

by nestling up with their friends.

But that's not necessarily their fault.

It's natural for children to be afraid if their parent is afraid.

But it's the duty of a parent to stand ahead of their kiddos

and plant their trembling feet firmly into the ground.

Yes.

What's that?

It's coming from outside.

What is this?

It can't be...

Warren! Is your magic radar working?!

Don't look at me! Heck if I know what this is!

Damn! Why didn't we see them approaching?!

All members, prepare for battle!

The enemy is coming from the sky!

Approximately 50 full-size aerial cruisers!

There's too many of 'em!

Just one is big enough to take on the whole guild!

That's just one fraction of the empire's forces.

No one said anything about an aerial attack!

All right! Get ready to become clouds of desert dust, Fairy Tail!

Let the battle begin!

Ring the bell! The enemy is attacking!

Approximately 50 aerial cruisers from the west!

--The enemy?! --In the air?!

But we're not even ready yet!

Fire!

What?!

Enchantment activated!

Huh. A magic barrier spell. Looks like an enchantment.

First Master! Not even Fried can hold back this onslaught for long!

Stay strong, Fried!

Use my magic power, Fried!

We never anticipated an aerial attack from the west!

What do we do?!

No, everything so far remains within expectations.

It appears to be an advance squadron,

but luckily, this is a smaller scale attack than I anticipated.

--Wha...? --Huh?!

Warren! Send everyone this message!

"Strategy D! Flying Dragons and Ospreys! Commence attack!"

Understood!

This is Osprey unit, in Eastern Woods.

Target is too far away.

--Why an osprey? --Beats me.

Bisca. If anyone can do it, it's you.

Right!

Fire! Fire!

Let's see how long you can last!

Sir Ajeel! Something's coming from ahead!

What's that?

One's coming right at us, really fast!

Evade!

Ship #4 has been destroyed!

What?!

Say hi to the Flying Dragons!

He's...

Let's do it!

Right!

Wind?!

Shoot 'em down!

--Whoa! --Nice, Happy!

Curses! There's too much enemy fire!

Isn't Bisca ready yet?!

This is Osprey unit! Magic power charged and ready!

You can do it, Mommy!

Get back, Asca!

Each shot takes 15 minutes to charge. I can't afford to miss.

Bisca! Believe in yourself!

By the way, an osprey is a bird that never lets its prey get away.

Focused magic cannon Jupiter...

Fire!

Since when do we have Phantom's main cannon?

The First Master is really something.

Gotta do better than that!

He diffused it?!

It did take out a few ships, though!

He seriously diffused a Jupiter blast...

Only option is to fight up close. Let's go to the leader's ship!

You guys have caused a real mess.

What?!

--Oh, right! This is a ship! --I can't believe you guys.

Wendy! Use your Troia spell!

Sorry... It's no good when I'm feeling sick, too...

First Master...

I forgot...

What's with these idiots?

Well, whatever. We've taken heavy damage.

Have some of the ships land. I'll deal with these guys.

Understood!

That was some serious lip you gave me back in Alvarez.

You and your group of small fries are a joke.

The ship's been sliced apart!

Happy! Charle! Lily! Help them out!

Who are you?!

The one who will cut you down.

Kneel before the Fairy Queen, Titania!

Erza...

Several ships have landed! We need to go deal with them!

Yeah.

We'll have to leave this to her. We can't do much on a ship.

There's no need to worry about Erza.

Erza protected me yet again...

Defeating one of the Twelve will be very difficult, even for Erza.

Let us have faith in her.

Morale will boost sky-high if we can fend off this enemy group!

Your enchantment isn't a perfect defensive spell?!

Nothing in this world is perfect.

The enemy ships' magic attacks are just too strong.

But the Flying Dragons and Ospreys reduced those attacks by half.

I might be able to keep us protected now!

Hurry, Mommy! Before the town gets wrecked!

It takes time to recharge the Jupiter.

I will hit it this time!

Forward, to Magnolia!

But Captain! How will we get through the enemy's enchantment?!

--No idea. --Huh?

Not a problem.

He is here, too. The enchantment will eventually fall.

To be honest, I feel this much military might

is excessive for such a feeble foe.

But it is a soldier's job to carry out his assigned duties.

How nice of you to land on the ground for us!

Fire Dragon Talon!

Heaven's Wheel: Circle Sword!

That lousy attack won't work on me!

Black Wing: Moon Flash!

How many people in your guild are stronger than you?!

Your cheap tricks are a joke!

Don't you dare...

...mock Fairy Tail!

What is this?!

It's not even worth mocking.

My body...!

Prepare to decay into sand.

My Requip magic isn't working right! What's going on?!

What's wrong, Fried?!

Impossible... A hole opened in the enchantment?!

A crack has appeared in part of Fried's enchantment!

No, wait... A hole?!

Oh, no! The enemy has a magic barrier canceller?!

This is a piece of cake, indeed.

--Impressive work, Sir Wall. --Let's keep pushing forward!

Indeed, we'll teach them how powerful Alvarez is.

Such magic power...!

Is another member of the Twelve here, too?!

They're entering the city! Intercept them, everyone!

--They've broken through?! --By the girls' dormitory!

Just head to the hole in the enchantment!

Who's closest?

Uhh...

Elfman! Lisanna! Mira!

Get there, quick!

I need to go, too!

Lend me your strength, Aquarius.

What was that sound?

It came from inside...

From the bathtub...

Oh. So this is your house, after all.

A+!

My place...

Why is a member of the Twelve in my bathtub?!

Somehow, you left a real impression on me.

Another! There's another member of the Twelve inside the city!

What?!

Three of them, in one group? Can we really defend against that?!

Th-This can't be happening!

What is it, Warren?!

A massive force of over 300 ships is approaching from the north!

And judging from this magic power, it has another three of the Twelve!

And that's not all!

There's another massive force coming from the south...

Also with three members of the Twelve!

We're surrounded on three sides?!

No...

A huge force of over a million soldiers is coming from the east...

...with three of the Twelve.

We're surrounded on all four sides...

We have nowhere left to run!

How did they get east of us?!

They'd have to go through Bosco!

We never expected an attack from all four sides!

This is the worst possible situation!

No matter how I calculate it...

...we have zero chance of winning!

The rain has stopped and it feels nice

But I'm just here, idling away

I'll come to you as you wait in the sky

So start an inner countdown and wait for me

If you see an opening,

strike without hesitation

That's what I learned

Oh yeah

from the bond of our friendship

I'm certain the miracle that brought us together

will reach beyond the sky

and my normal, constant feelings of anxiety will cut loose

Even if we get betrayed, just forget about them

Now go forth! Go! Go!

You gotta go

Fairy Tail is surrounded and has allowed the Twelve to enter the city.

Lucy faces off with Brandish

but is agitated when a certain name comes up.

Meanwhile, in the western skies, Erza struggles against Ajeel.

A sandstorm envelops her and threatens to eradicate her completely.
