[NATSU] Previously, on Fairy Tail.
[CANA] We were in the middle of the S-Class Wizard
Promotion trial, held on Tenrou Island.
[LUCY] When Cana confessed a major secret to me,
I swore that I'll do everything I can to help her make S-Class!
[HAPPY] But then we found Zeref on the island
and we were attacked by the scary Grimoire Heart guild!
What kinda horrible thing is gonna happen next?
♪
[NARRATOR] Equipped with the potent Fairy Glitter spell,
Cana arrived with seconds to spare.
She fought valiantly, but was no match for
Grimoire Heart's sub-commander, Bluenote Stinger.
The Fairy Tail members found themselves at the verge
of utter defeat.
But hope arrived in the form of Gildarts.
Cana's father and Fairy Tail's strongest wizard.
[BLUENOTE] So this is the legendary Gildarts.
[CANA] Dad.
The old man came back!
[GILDARTS] You need to get outta here.
What for?
[HAPPY] Tenrou Tree!
That look on Gildarts face is one of the most intense
things I've ever seen.
Yes.
I can definitely agree with that.
Now go!
That's crazy!
Gildarts is so cool!
That hurt.
I think we should all try to stay out of their way.
[HAPPY] You okay, Carla?
I can barely hear you with that rock on your face.
Unbelievable.
He pushed me back?
--[HAPPY] It's stuck! --[CARLA] Ridiculous!
I'm getting scared.
I think we probably should get away from here,
like he asked us to.
Yeah.
You're right.
Hey, Cana?
Let's go.
Gildarts can handle it.
We'd only get in his way if we hung around.
Let's fly.
Awesome!
I wanna see 'em fight so bad.
No.
We gotta go Natsu.
Now!
[CANA] Please.
Be careful, Dad.
[HAPPY] Cana!
Hurry up!
[GILDARTS] You've interrupted something very important.
These kids were pushing themselves to the limit
working to make the world a better place than what
we've left them.
They put absolutely everything on the line
to salvage the future,
and then you came along and trampled all over it.
Man, I can't believe we're missing out on the fight
of the century right now!
Sorry, but making sure our friends are okay
is more important!
Yeah, I guess.
Hopefully, the others have found their way
back to base camp.
We need to regroup and figure out our exit strategy.
Don't forget Mest...
I mean Doranbolt...
promised that he'd do his best to help us get off the island.
Talk about a leaky vessel.
Hey.
You okay?
Yeah.
I'm alright.
[NARRATOR] Meanwhile, back at what's left of the Fairy Tail
base camp, a few able-bodied members have been attending
to those wounded in battle.
However,
a problem has arisen.
The Seven Kin of Purgatory have come calling.
My name is Rustyrose.
I spy a feast of dreams waiting to be devoured.
We need to protect our friends with
everything we've got left.
There's no way I'm gonna let another one of
these creeps hurt my sister without a fight.
I'm afraid I can't stay in my battle form
for that much longer.
We'll need to put an end to this quickly.
[RUSTYROSE] Two young girls and a cat guarding the infirmary?
Oh dear.
And here I was, hoping to be involved in
a more epic battle.
Well, no matter.
This is the hand fate has chosen for me.
So I shall play it.
Unencumbered by mercy!
I don't understand it.
How can you people just be so cold-hearted?
Did you get to be the strongest dark guild
by preying on the defenseless?
How is that supposed to show your strength?
It must be done.
Those poor feeble souls would never have a prayer of surviving
the Grand Magic World.
So we're simply helping nature run its course
by speeding along the inevitable.
You'll never create an ideal world
by killing whoever you think doesn't deserve it.
That's exactly what the king was trying to do
in Edolas, and it didn't work out for him.
Then you should use your righteous convictions
to try and stop me!
For the most effective weapon against darkness is the light
that you claim to wield!
What sounds!
Cries and Screams!
They provide such a perfect soundtrack!
To the end of your dreams!
Who dares silence my symphony?
It's Fried!
And Bixlow!
But how?
I thought both of you had left!
[BIXLOW] We saw the red flare in the sky.
[FRIED] So we returned with Gildarts.
He really came back to the island with you guys?
Ha!
Though your ranks may swell you'll still get swept away
by my Arc of Embodiment.
And all that will remain of you will be
the ephemeral fragments of tragically fading memories.
[BIXLOW] You're gonna realize pretty quickly that
we don't always like to play by the rules in our guild.
We'll do whatever it takes to beat you.
[FRIED] Simply put, since you've harmed a member of
the Thunder Legion the rules no longer apply.
[BIXLOW] Baryon Formation!
In my left hand, appears a golden shield
through which no single attack shall ever pass.
[RUSTYROSE] On my feet, appear Pegasus' wings!
You cannot defeat my rich imagination!
An eternal wellspring of limitless power!
Come forth, my Guardian Saint Beast:
Belfast the Windstorm!
May your mighty gusts sing through their bones!
Where did that come from?
Summoning magic.
But like nothing I've ever seen before!
Hey guys watch out!
He's really dangerous!
Oh, we know how to handle this fool!
Seid Magic!
Possession!
[BIXLOW] Shatter!
Impossible!
Dark Écriture.
Absolute Shadow!
Incredible!
They sure are!
That's our Thunder Legion.
Thanks, you guys.
[BIXLOW] Get up!
[FRIED] There's nowhere for you to run.
[RUSTYROSE] My very being is wracked with erratic trembles.
Is this fear?
[NARRATOR] The Great Tenrou Tree provides shelter
for this sacred island.
And among its twisted roots,
the warriors Erza and Azuma are soon to entangle.
You're telling me you've eliminated Wendy?
But she hasn't fallen on her own.
Several of your comrades have joined her and the rest are
all being dispensed with as we speak.
[ERZA] What nonsense!
There's no way you could overpower Natsu, Mirajane,
and the others!
[AZUMA] I can't vouch for this "Natsu" friend of yours.
But as for the She-Devil.
I sent her back to hell with my own hands.
Do you doubt my words?
[ERZA] Not entirely sure.
I'll have to test your abilities myself to believe you.
Well, I can't believe my luck.
First I faced the She-Devil.
And now the mighty Titania.
It's amazing.
What lovely trophies for this day's hunt!
[NARRATOR] Elsewhere, Gray is having a strange moment
with Grimoire Heart's Ultear, who is revealing something
quite extraordinary.
This doesn't make any sense.
You actually wanted to meet me 'cause you're really on my side?
[ULTEAR] That's right.
I have been searching for you for such a long time.
You are the beloved pupil of the Ice Wizard, Ur.
And I am her long lost daughter.
That means you and I are practically siblings.
What, like brother and sister?
Give me a second to process here.
I never knew I had a sister just roaming around!
[ULTEAR] Well, I did say "practically."
But, with that being the case, I bear no grudge against you.
Seriously?
I'm having a hard time wrapping my brain around all this.
You do realize our guilds are sworn enemies!
It's true.
I've sworn allegiance to Grimoire Heart.
But there's more to life than guilds.
Perhaps we can get past our differences.
We both share her guidance.
She lives on inside of us.
[LUCY] All of this fighting on Tenrou Island was finally
nearing its conclusion.
We never lost faith.
We believed wholeheartedly in our victory.
We still had hope.
[RUSTYROSE] Fear pulsing through my veins.
Flooding my mind with thoughts of impending doom.
Still.
It is I who has the advantage.
These racing thoughts of fear
are like my fuel.
They serve to spur my imagination.
Go forth, spirits of Brittia!
Dine on the souls of Fairies!
His summoning power's insane.
Don't let those things touch you!
[FRIED] They're sticking to me!
[PANTHERLILY] He can make anything in his imagination
come to life?
How can we fight against someone like that?
This has gotta be the most messed up magic
I've ever seen!
[RUSTYROSE] Fried and Bixlow, was it?
Ah, yes.
Two members of the Thunder Legion, if I'm not mistaken!
Or should I say two underlings of Master Mahkarov's
disgraced grandson who was ejected after a failed
overthrow attempt.
What was his name again?
Oh yes, Loxus, the fallen star.
[BIXLOW] Shut your mouth!
[FRIED] How dare you even speak his name, you scum.
You know nothing about him!
You bastard!
At last!
A true challenge appears!
[AZUMA] Bleve!
[ERZA] Morning Star!
Photon Slicer!
Does something amuse you?
[AZUMA] Not quite 'amused'.
But I must admit I'm intrigued.
I've heard many tales of your skill and valor.
I believe that you and I are cut from the same cloth.
We seek warriors, because fighting means
everything to us.
[ERZA] I'm afraid that's not true.
I don't go looking for warriors to fight.
[AZUMA] No?
The only way you could reach your level of strength
is fighting powerful foes.
All I have ever wanted is the strength to protect those
I hold close to my heart.
I would give up all of my strength if I could
still guarantee their safety.
It's strange, but true.
[AZUMA] What a shame.
You're quite interesting.
I had hoped we'd have a fair fight.
[ERZA] What do you mean by that?
We've reached a different stage in our battle.
What's happening?
I am connected with nature.
The forest.
My Lost magic is the Arc of Trees.
I can take the explosive power from the land
and channel it into the heart of the wood.
But, where my magic's true power lies is it gives me
the ability to become one with the land and control
its magic energy.
You can control the energy of the land itself?
[AZUMA] That is the reason I was first to arrive on this island.
To harness the magic energy contained in your sacred ground!
[ERZA] No.
That's impossible!
This was not my choice.
But I must follow the orders I was given.
[ERZA] What?
What are you going to do?
Answer me!
[DORANBOLT] No.
The Tenrou Tree.
It's falling!
Look!
It's coming down.
The whole island is collapsing!
It's that huge tree!
It's starting to topple over!
[DORANBOLT] This can't be happening.
I should've forced them to leave when I had the chance.
Wendy.
Natsu.
[DORANBOLT] I wish you good luck.
[NATSU] What in the heck is goin' on?
[HAPPY] Please hurry, Carla!
[CARLA] You're behind me!
We all gotta hurry and get back to camp ASAP!
What the-?
[LUCY] What's happening?
I feel like I just ran outta juice.
My legs just quit working.
What's wrong with me?
So weak.
Hey.
What in the world is happening?
It's Azuma.
My power, it's completely run out!
All at once.
What is it?
Oh no, Fried and Bixlow!
[RUSTYROSE laughing]
What a dramatic reversal of fortunes.
The tide has turned again.
And The last laugh will belong to me!
No.
I don't understand this.
What happened to our power?
[GILDARTS] Damnit.
I'm totally out of energy.
What is this?
What the hell's going on here?
Old man.
What sort of insane mission are you having Azuma
carry out for you?
[HADES] Quite the impressive pawn Makarov has in Gildarts.
To think, someone other than me could stop Bluenote
in his tracks.
if only for a moment.
Although it did take a bit longer than I had
originally hoped.
Tenrou Island's magic power is now under our control.
And with that, Fairy Tail's chance of surviving
this battle disappears.
[AZUMA] Master Hades holds a vast amount of knowledge
about this island.
Does he?
[AZUMA] At the center, stands the great Tenrou Tree.
It blesses all who bear the guild's emblem
with divine protection from harm and death.
While at the same time, it amplifies their magic power,
and gives them extraordinary abilities.
[ERZA] So that's why master chooses to hold the trial
on this island.
And you've just felled the tree!
[AZUMA] That is correct.
And as a result, not only has this protective spell over
every Fairy Tail wizard been nullified.
All of your magic power will rapidly drain
from your bodies.
[RUSTYROSE] I must say this is a vision of loveliness
before my very eyes.
If that's the case, tell me this.
Why do I still stand?
[AZUMA] This may be the end for your guild.
It will die, along with that tree.
However.
Since I control all the magic power on this island.
I've kept yours intact.
Now, Titania.
All of your friends are at death's door.
And you are the only one who can save them.
You strive for the power to protect those close to you.
Show me what that means!
♪
[NATSU] Man, that's gotta be the biggest freakin' tree
I've ever seen in my life!
What kind is it?
[HAPPY] It's called the Tenrou Tree and I'm pretty sure
that it's the only one.
[NATSU] I bet it's probably the strongest tree in the world,
dontcha think?
[HAPPY] I dunno, but it looks pretty solid to me.
[NATSU] Yeah, well I wonder if it would move if
I punched it really hard.
[HAPPY] Please don't do that!
[NATSU and HAPPY] Next time: Erza vs. Azuma!
[HAPPY] Besides, if the tree started moving and fell on you,
you'd be squashed flat as a pancake!
[NATSU] Now why would a tree just start movin'?
[HAPPY] It was your idea, Natsu!
