All I 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.
♪
[NATSU] Previously, on Fairy Tail!
[NARRATOR] The battle on Tenrou Island became a tug of war
of epic proportions.
Grimoire Heart gained the upper hand at nearly every turn,
especially once Sub-commander Bluenote Stinger arrived
on the battlefield.
When the Grand Spell Fairy Glitter failed to stop him,
Fairy Tail's defeat seemed certain.
But the tides turned once more, as Freed, Bixlow,
and the powerhouse Gildarts came back to aid their comrades.
So the tug of war continued.
But just when hope had returned to our heroes,
a new calamity occurred that could spell their doom.
Will the fall of the Tenrou Tree be the instrument
of Fairy Tail's demise?
Or is there one last ray of light in this abysmal darkness?
What gives.
What's happening to all of us?
I can barely move.
It feels like all my strength got sucked out of me.
Yeah, and my head is spinning in circles.
I may hurl.
I'd roll outta the way if I were you Cana.
[LUCY] You okay?
Cana?
Come on this isn't funny, you have to get up!
I'm so tired.
My vision's blurry.
Is this some kind of spell?
Why is everything spinning?
I just ate some fish so I know I'm not hungry but
I'm still dizzy.
I'm done for.
I can't go any further.
I think we're all losing magic power.
There's no other way.
[GRAY] That shaking.
Do you know what it was?
[ULTEAR] Azuma.
[GRAY] Oh man!
I feel so dizzy.
what the hell's going on?
It seems as though the Tenrou Tree has been uprooted.
Now it will act as a garrote for anyone who bears
the Fairy Tail emblem.
It's only a matter of time.
So you knew about this!
Was this your plan all along?
[ULTEAR] It was an option.
Master Hades chose to go with it.
And now I'm aiding a fallen enemy.
What in the world have you done to me!
[HAPPY] Erza vs. Azuma!
[ERZA] Why do I still stand?
[AZUMA] Since I control all the magic power on this island.
I have 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!
[ERZA] Azuma of the Seven Kin, correct?
And you're acting under orders.
This is part of Hades plan, yes.
Felling the tree was the easiest way to deal a death blow
to Fairy Tail.
[ERZA] I see.
If you could dispatch us so easily, why keep me around?
[AZUMA] You know why.
Now, are you going to give me the fight I want or not?
Make your decision.
I don't really have a choice in the matter, do I?
you insist on a fair fight,
so I expect you to return our powers once you've lost.
[AZUMA] You have my word.
Believe me I'm not fond of these methods, either.
[AZUMA] Of course.
You still have to win.
The lives of my comrades hang in the balance.
I won't lose.
[ERZA] Requip!
Heaven's Wheel!
Ready!
Scattered Petals!
Folium Sica!
Ramus Sica!
[AZUMA] Come on, Titania, I'm not even sweating yet.
Get serious!
I'll force you if I have to!
That's better.
She must be using her "Flight" Armor.
Okay!
[ERZA] Adamantine Armor!
The impenetrable shield.
It's said it could stop a direct blast from
a Jupiter focused magic cannon.
Excellent.
What do you say we put it to the test!
[AZUMA] The Thunder Empress Armor?
You're pulling out all the stops.
I see.
You've truly earned the name Titania.
Your requipping speed is unmatched
and your sword technique is flawless.
Very impressive.
You're everything I wanted in an opponent.
[ERZA] His 'Arc of Trees' is overwhelming.
This is bad.
[ERZA] It seems you're more than just inflated ego and talk.
Your obsession with strength is quite obvious now.
[AZUMA] Are you saying that you'll fight me seriously?
Careful.
Getting what you want can be detrimental to your health.
[AZUMA] Her magic power's increased!
Even the Purgatory Armor's magic power
isn't enough to defeat him.
[AZUMA] You overestimated your armor's effectiveness and left
a weak spot wide open!
Tower Burst!
[ERZA] Incredible.
I can't believe the amount of power he wields.
I don't know how to counter him
My Armadura Fairy armor is still broken,
and I seriously doubt any of my remaining armor will do the job.
Think, Erza!
Well, there is that.
I may have bought the seduction armor for private use.
but, perhaps.
I am not Lucy!
I have a warrior's pride!
[AZUMA] What are you talking about?
[ERZA] Come on.
Think this through.
If I'm going to overcome his power, I'll have to
sacrifice defense and start focusing on my attacks.
In fact, it might be best to forgo defense entirely.
It's the only way.
I'll put all of my magic power into my sword!
The blade that can't be held without shedding all armor.
Come forth, Spectral Sword.
Crimson Blossom!
If I lose here, all of Fairy Tail pays the price.
The fate of the guild rests in my hands!
Yes!
Show me now!
[ERZA] I can't afford to lose!
For the sake of my friends.
I'll end this with one stroke.
Oh no!
You just lost your chance.
Now face all the power of Tenrou!
[ERZA] I can't break free!
[AZUMA] The outcry of the earth.
Terra Clamare!
The great Titania.
Finally falls.
Erza.
[NARRATOR] After Azuma succeeded in uprooting
the Tenrou Tree, the blessed protection magic
it was bestowing upon the members of Fairy Tail,
swiftly vanished.
Suddenly, anyone bearing the guild's emblem began
to lose their magic power.
With even Gildarts and the Thunder Legion
out of commission, the fate of Fairy Tail and Tenrou Island
now rests solely on Erza's shoulders.
Alright.
We're getting nowhere fast.
Any luck?
Not here.
My magic power is almost depleted.
But I can't figure out what's causing me to lose it.
Stop the ride, I wanna get off now.
This started after that giant tree toppled over.
Do you think there's a connection?
Yeah, maybe.
Whatever the reason is,
I don't think we're in any position to fix it.
[HAPPY] Natsu, could you carry me on your back
the rest of the way?
[NATSU] Sorry, I've got a passenger.
And I'm afraid that he's not lookin too good either.
This sucks.
Are we really stuck here like this?
I hope it's just us.
If not, we're all totally screwed.
What was that, Sir Siegrain?
I can barely hear you.
Jellal!
Or did that already slip your feeble mind?
Siegrain is the fake name he used when he was a member
of the Council.
Sorry, I guess old habits die hard.
Look at him.
This is the guy who destroyed our council building?
Cause to me, this dangerous criminal looks more like
a caged stray dog.
[JELLAL] Please hear my words.
[SERENA] Whoa, do you...
Do you think he's trying to cast a curse on us?
He couldn't cast anything even if he wanted to.
As long as he's in here, he's as weak as a newborn.
Wanna put him to the test?
What do you mean by that?
What'd I tell you?
He's nothing more than a helpless animal in a cage.
Okay, you've had your fun.
Knock it off.
[NADARU] I'm curious.
What were you mumbling about just a moment ago?
Saying a prayer?
I just realized.
You probably haven't had a decent meal since
you were brought here, have you?
Bet your stomach's trying to eat itself.
Well, then.
If you say, "Please feed me, Sir Nodaru" I might consider it.
Five little words and you'll be feasting like a king in there.
That's enough.
[NADARU] However, if you don't say it, I'll make sure the taste
of food becomes a bitter memory.
[NADARU] Speak up.
[JELLAL] Erza.
Don't give in.
You can do it, Erza.
What?
She lived!
That's impossible!
I hit her with all of Tenrou's power!
[ERZA] I heard Jellal's voice.
But how?
Was I just dreaming?
Stop it.
You don't have time to be selfish.
Clear your head.
Don't cling to phantoms and memories.
Now that you found the strength to stand,
find what you need to win this.
[AZUMA] Those eyes.
[ERZA] I almost closed the distance.
Even if I get that close again,
I'm not sure I have enough power to take him down.
But what I lack in power, I make up for with
conviction and purpose.
Purpose he forced on me.
He's backed me into a corner, and it'll be his downfall.
I will protect what I hold dear.
The guild, my friends, I will win for them...
I must!
It's been a long time since I've feared an opponent!
[AZUMA] Titania of Fairy Tail.
Miss Erza Scarlet.
You've fought bravely.
I won't forget your name as long as I live.
I'm Not done!
How 'bout we make your last name Scarlet?
That's perfect!
Now I'm never gonna forget your name.
All I gotta do is think about your pretty hair.
[ERZA] No!
[JELLAL] It was The color of your hair.
It won't end this way!
You don't have a choice in the matter!
I win!
And there's nothing you can do about it, Erza!
Terra Clamare!
No.
Erza.
[ERZA] So this is it.
Death.
[NATSU] Don't tell me you're giving up.
[ERZA] Jellal?
We're here.
[ERZA] My friends.
So that's it.
I understand.
Forgive me.
I've been such a fool.
I forgot the most important thing of all.
I wasn't protecting everyone around me.
[AZUMA] Unbelievable.
[ERZA] They were the ones protecting me all along.
Now I repay the favor!
[AZUMA] Tenrou Island's magic power should be under
my control.
Yet it's supporting her!
Is this the strength she was talking about?
The power to protect those close to her.
It comes from the bond they share.
What an amazing guild!
Well done.
♪
[HAPPY] I can't find Gray.
You seen him?
[NATSU] Actually, no.
Haven't seen Juvia for a while either.
I wonder where they went.
[HAPPY] Gray and Juvia?
You don't think.
[NATSU] Oh you bet I do!
They're in loooove!
I wish I could show my love to my snow white angel Carla!
Oh baby!
[NATSU] Alright, pal, you're taking it too far.
[HAPPY and NATSU] Next time: Freezing Fighting Spirit!
[NATSU] Wait a minute;
I thought Juvia was wondering around with Erza.
[HAPPY] Whoa, a secret affair!
[NATSU] Sounds like Gray's got competition.
