[NARRATOR] It all happened on this day.
December sixteenth, seven-hundred-and-eighty-four.
On Tenrou Island.
♪
[deep, booming sound]
[MAKAROV] That ungodly sound.
What could it be?
[ERZA] Master.
The ship will be ready to take us back to the mainland
very shortly.
Also, regarding Laxus...
[MAKAROV] I've nothing to discuss with or about that boy.
[ERZA] Yes, I understand.
Except to say, he's got quite a pair on him.
Daring to set foot on The Fairy Tail guild's most sacred ground.
He no longer enjoys that privilege.
But what he's done for us.
Yes.
I heard all about his heroic fight with Hades.
How he saved your lives by putting himself
directly into harm's way.
My appreciation for what he did is more than
words could convey.
But as far as Fairy Tail's concerned
he is still an outsider.
Albeit one to whom we owe our gratitude.
So your position is firm, is it?
[LAXUS] Of course it is.
That's how the guild's stayed strong over the years.
You can't buy your way in with a single good deed;
it takes a lot more.
[ERZA] That's true.
You guys were in a jam.
So I did what any decent passing stranger should do
and tried to help out.
There wasn't any kind of ulterior motive
behind my actions.
[LAXUS] Hey, old man!
Yeah, that's the look.
Classic.
Probably the last time I'll see that scowling face
for a long while.
Later.
Hold on!
[deep, booming sound]
No.
[CANA] What's up?
Is something the matter?
God I hope not.
Something seems off.
Smells off, that's for sure.
There's a strange odor.
Whoa, that reminds me.
Maybe somethin' yummy will settle your tummy.
That sound and smell have nothing to do
with my tummy, cat!
[HAPPY] Let's hold hands!
Will somebody feed Lucy so her belly
will stop rumblin' for a while?
The Lucy in Edolas had a big appetite,
but this is crazy!
You shouldn't listen to Gajeel,
he's just being his usual "big-time-jerk" self.
Oh dear, I hope that there's still enough
food left to tide her over 'til we get back home.
Geez!
Don't ya know a joke when ya hear one?
Yeah.
Well, all kidding aside.
What in the heck was that noise?
Whoa!
Now it sounds like there's some kinda animal-in-heat panting.
The latter could possibly be the sound
of your chair.
My chair?
Is it squeaking or somethin'?
What the-?.
What're you doing?
You won't spank me, so serving as your chair should be
a fitting punishment for my failure
I almost smacked you for scaring me,
but I'm afraid you'd get the wrong idea!
Here ya go, I bet you're pretty thirsty.
You don't have to do all that
when you're not feeling well.
It's fine.
Helping out makes me feel better.
Workin' through the pain!
Just like a real man!
[CARLA] I don't think so!
Please tell me that ya didn't mean to do that!
Oh, I meant it alright.
And if I hear you say "real man" in the next five minutes
you're gonna be turned to stone!
[ELFMAN] Why do you care?
[EVERGREEN] It's driving me crazy!
[ELFMAN] Oh yeah?
Well that's an awfully short trip for you, ya know?
[EVERGREEN] A real man would never talk that way to a lady!
[MIRAJANE] You two shouldn't fight so close
to your wedding day!
[ELFMAN and EVERGREEN] That was a lie!
[thunderous roar]
What is that?
It sure is manly!
That's definitely a dragon's roar!
A dragon?
Are you sure it's not a thunderstorm?
[LUCY] Hey, is everyone all right?
[HAPPY] Do you guys hear that crazy noise?
Yeah, What is it?
[CANA] Are You okay?
My wounds are startin' to burn like hell.
There's no doubt.
That dragon...
he's gettin' real close.
Look up in the sky!
Something's coming this way!
[HAPPY] Natsu!.
What's the matter?
Holy crap!
That thing's humongous!
Oh, no.
It is a dragon!
I don't believe it.
You gotta be kiddin'!
I don't think it's a friendly one.
I knew it.
I was right all along.
They still exist.
[MAKAROV] I'm afraid that's Acnologia.
The black dragon of the apocalypse.
Yeah.
It's definitely him.
That sounds bad.
What the heck are we gonna do?
[NATSU] Hey, dragon!.
You know where I can find Igneel?
Tell me!
Grandeeneh and Metallicana, too!
[GILDARTS] Stop it, Natsu!
You don't wanna provoke him!
Did you forget what happened to me?
How I lost my arm and my leg?
Hell!
I'm lucky I didn't lose my life that day!
[GILDARTS] Natsu look at me.
It was over before I even knew what hit me.
It ripped off my arm and leg, and gutted me.
[GILDARTS] Igneel may be a different kind of creature,
but I'm telling you this black one is no friend to anyone.
There's not a man that could beat him.
It's coming down!
[HAPPY] I don't think this is the same kinda dragon
that raised Natsu and Wendy!
This one seems evil!
[GILDARTS] You're certainly right about that!
It's the most evil thing there is!
[NATSU] So are we gonna fight it, or what?
We can't, Natsu.
You don't understand the situation.
It's not about winning or losing a fight.
This is about getting away with our lives.
And I'm not sure that all of us are even gonna be
lucky enough to do that.
[NATSU] Whaddaya mean?
Are you tryin' to say that this thing's gonna kill some of us?
Come on.
Everyone run, now!
What's it doing?
No way.
[NATSU] I don't believe it.
The entire forest has completely disappeared!
[ELFMAN] That's crazy.
[LEVY] How can it be so destructive?
It wiped out those trees with just a single roar!
How strong is that thing?
Not just strong.
He's evil.
Pure and simple.
That just now was nothin' more than
his way of gettin' warmed up.
Listen up!
If you wanna stay alive!
You can't waste time freakin' out!
Pull yourselves together and let's get outta here.
Are you okay, dear?
Hurry!
Everyone get to the ship!
It's this way!
Just through those trees!
Now get moving!
Wendy!
You know how to communicate with dragons, don't you?
Can you talk to it for us?
Anyone can communicate with a dragon,
but this one didn't come here to talk to us!
[PANTHERLILY] He's attacking!
No, Fried!
Bixlow!
He cut off our escape route!
But, why us?
Why are you doing this?
Answer me!
[ZEREF] He refuses to speak to them.
Which means he views them as nothing more than insects.
Men don't engage vermin in conversation.
This is no different.
And men certainly don't battle pests the same
as actual threats.
Those poor souls don't have a prayer of surviving.
[EVERGREEN] Elfman!
[ERZA] Be careful!
[ZEREF] Mankind will soon learn who's
at the top of the food chain.
Ever.
Thank you.
[LEVY] No.
We're trapped.
What'll we do?
[ZEREF] It seems.
I find myself at the crossroads once again.
At the end of yet another era.
So farewell.
Natsu.
You jerk!
C'mon gramps!
[MAKAROV] Get to the ship!
[GRAY] He's crazy!
He can't fight that thing!
Master!
Please don't play the hero!
The guild needs you to stay alive!
[MAKAROV] Get out of here!
I will fight by master's side!
No lizard is gonna tear this guild apart!
I'll stay with you 'til the bitter end!
Me, too!
[EVERYONE agreeing]
Will you brats just shut up and honor
your master's final wish?
Get out of here now!
[MIRAJANE] Final wish?
I am a Dragon Slayer wizard, Gramps!
This is what I was born to do!
So let me--
[LAXUS] Not today, kid!
Let go.
Laxus!
Best of luck.
Now, run!
[MAKAROV] What good children.
It may be hard to believe now, but this is for the best.
It's times like these that teach you important lessons
for your future.
Like knowing that tears are wasteful things,
nothing to trouble over.
Is death caused by sadness?
Or is sadness caused by death?
The answer is in your hearts.
My dear children, you must learn and grow, and live!
You foul creature!
I don't know what your goal is here.
But I'm not letting you get any further.
I won't let you hurt my children!
This is what a father does for his family.
I have no regrets.
I can die a happy man.
[NATSU] We're getting gramps back.
ya hear me?
[MAKAROV] Natsu!
[MAKAROV] Erza. You, too?
[LAXUS] I was down with the plan to evacuate.
I'm sure there are plenty of folks out there who'd let
an old guy take the fall.
But not your guild.
Now attack!
You damned stupid bunch of kids.
[LAXUS] Alright, you guys!.
Let's get ready to hit this overgrown lizard
with everything we've got!
[LAXUS] If you let loose on him and I blast him
with a million watts of lightning.
he'll learn to never mess with Fairy Tail again!
[ALL] Laxus!
[WENDY] Please Be careful!
Laxus?
[LAXUS] You'd better get out of the way Natsu,
'cause here it comes!
Hold on just a second, man!
No, do it now, Laxus
I haven't moved yet!
Raging Bolt!
Heaven's Wheel.
Scattered Petals!
Super Freezing.
Arrow!
Water Nebula!
Solid Script: Fire!
Now Sagittarius!
Get him!
Evil Explosion!
We'll use the full power of the Thunder Legion!
Come on, babies!
Time to Rock!
[LAXUS] Seriously?
We just totally unloaded on this bastard and he's still smiling?
Let's see what you Dragon Slayers can do!
You hear me, Natsu?
I still owe Laxus a serious butt kickin'.
[HAPPY] Maybe later.
[GAJEEL] Iron Dragon.
Roar!
[WENDY] Sky Dragon.
Roar!
[NATSU] Fire Dragon.
Roar!
[ERZA] Did that work?
[GILDARTS] Of course not.
What do you mean?
[GILDARTS] He's not even using half as much power
as the time he fought me.
He's playing with us!
He's back in the air!
All our attacks didn't even
put a single scratch on him!
His power's unbelievable!
We gave it everything we had.
Three Dragon Slayers all at the same time.
Our whole guild went against him, and it still wasn't enough.
This shouldn't happen!
I'm supposed to be a freakin' Dragon Slayer,
so why the hell couldn't I beat him?
[PANTHERLILY] What do you think he'll do now?
Maybe he'll just decide to go back home.
We can't let down our guard.
Breath attack!
Is he gonna try and wipe out the whole island?
My god.
He's that strong?
[LUCY] No.
Isn't there anything we can do?
Is this it?
Are we all just gonna die here?
Defense magic users, bring out your
most powerful spells!
But I don't have time to write an Enchantment!
Script magic has plenty of other defensive spells
that we can use right now.
Yes, you're right, Levy!
Think of one real quick!
Everybody concentrate all your magic power
on Fried and Levy!
Let's hold hands!
[NATSU] Come on, Lucy.
We are not gonna go out crying.
Fairy Tail never gives up the fight!
We've gotta all face our fears together!
We'll show him we have a bond that can never be broken!
Okay, kids.
Let us all go home together!
[ALL] Back home to Fairy Tail!
I guess it's over now.
Natsu.
[NARRATOR] It all happened on this day.
December sixteenth, seven-hundred-and-eighty-four.
On Tenrou Island.
The day Acnologia wiped it off the map.
His work completed.
he disappeared into the wild blue yonder.
Search crews spent nearly half a year scouring
the nearby waters for survivors.
Unfortunately, none were ever found.
Time marches on.
And seven long years have passed since that fateful day.
♪
[HAPPY] Natsu, what in the heck happened to us out there?
[NATSU] I'm not sure.
I remember getting attacked by that big, black dragon and then
seeing blinding white light.
[HAPPY] Do you think it's possible
that we're all dead now?
[NATSU] Don't be ridiculous!
You and I both know there's no way Fairy Tail
would ever go out like that!
[HAPPY] If we're all alive, where is everybody?
[HAPPY & NATSU] Next time: Fairy Tail, year seven-ninety-one!
[NATSU] I don't know, but we need to find 'em
and get back to the guild!
[HAPPY] Yeah, you're right.
Let's all go back to Fairy Tail together!
