Lahar: JELLAL FERNANDES.
YOU ARE HEREBY UNDER ARREST
FOR CRIMES AGAINST THE KINGDOM.
- ( theme music playing )
- (singing in Japanese )
- NO, PLEASE DON'T TAKE HIM AWAY!
- Happy: "A GUILD FOR ONE."
- Wendy: IT'S NOT FAIR.
HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT HE'S DONE!
ALL HIS MEMORIES HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY ERASED.
- IGNORANCE OF ONE'S CRIMES IS NO DEFENSE.
PENAL CODE SECTION 13 STATES THIS EXPLICITLY.
YOU MAY REMOVE THE BARRIER NOW.
- YES, SIR.
- HOLD ON!
- Jellal: IT'S ALL RIGHT. I WILL NOT RESIST ARREST.
PLEASE FORGIVE ME.
I WISH THAT I COULD REMEMBER YOU.
I'M SORRY THAT I CANNOT.
TRULY.
- WHEN SHE WAS LOST AND ALONE,
YOU FOUND HER WANDERING AND SAVED HER LIFE.
- DID I?
I MAY NEVER KNOW THE HARM I INFLICTED UPON YOU
AND COUNTLESS OTHERS.
BUT AT LEAST I KNOW AT SOME POINT, I HELPED ONE PERSON.
ERZA.
I WON'T FORGET YOUR KINDNESS.
- Erza: I CAN'T LET THIS HAPPEN.
I CAN'T LET THEM TAKE HIM AWAY LIKE THIS.
IT'S NOT RIGHT.
ALL THESE YEARS, HE WAS SLEEPWALKING THROUGH THE DARKNESS.
HE'S FINALLY BEEN LET INTO THE LIGHT AGAIN.
THEY CAN'T SHUT HIM AWAY.
- YOU HAVE ANY MORE PARTING WORDS?
- NO.
- YOU'LL GET AT LEAST A LIFE SENTENCE.
THAT'S IF YOU'RE LUCKY.
- NO WAY.
- IN ANY CASE, YOU'LL NEVER SEE THESE PEOPLE AGAIN.
- HE'S GONE.
- I WILL NOT LET HIM GO! - HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!
- NATSU! - I DON'T THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA!
- ( all fighting )
- STOP THIS! - OUTTA MY WAY!
HE'S ONE OF US!
AND THAT MEANS HE COMES WITH US!
- NATSU.
- NO, DON'T DO THIS.
- SUBDUE THAT MAN! - AHHH!
- ( heartbeat )
- KEEP GOIN', NATSU! - DON'T STOP!
- Gray: GIVE UP.
THERE'S NO WAY YOU GUYS CAN STOP HIM!
- THIS IS WRONG ANYWAY.
JELLAL TOOK DOWN NIRVANA!
HE JUST SAVED A WHOLE LOTTA PEOPLE,
AND THIS IS THE THANKS YOU GIVE HIM?
- YOU WOULD PUNISH THIS MAN FOR HIS SINS,
YET STILL CHOOSE NOT TO REWARD HIM FOR HIS GOOD DEEDS?
- IT PAINS ME, BUT IF YOU TAKE HIM AWAY,
IT WILL HURT ERZA MORE!
- HEY, I CAN'T SEE WHO I'M HITTING,
SO I'M INNOCENT, RIGHT? - ME TOO!
- NO, PLEASE.
PLEASE DON'T TAKE JELLAL AWAY FOREVER!
- C'MON! LET HIM GO!
LISTEN, YOU OWE ERZA BIG TIME.
SHE NEEDS YOU TO STAY BY HER SIDE!
SHE DID IT FOR YOU, MAN!
YOU GOTTA STAY!
'CAUSE WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, YOU'RE ONE OF US NOW.
- ARREST THEM ALL
FOR AIDING A FUGITIVE AND OBSTRUCTING THE LAW!
- THAT'S ENOUGH! STOP THIS AT ONCE.
I APOLOGIZE FOR THIS DISTURBANCE.
IT'S GONE TOO FAR. I'M THE ONE TO BLAME.
NOW PLEASE...
TAKE HIM AWAY.
- BUT WHY? - SIT DOWN!
- YES, MA'AM.
- Jellal: I REMEMBER.
IT WAS THE COLOR OF YOUR HAIR.
FAREWELL, OLD FRIEND.
- ( hoof beats )
- Happy: HEY, YOU GUYS,
DOES ANYBODY HAPPEN TO KNOW WHERE ERZA WENT?
- SHE JUST NEEDS TO BE ALONE FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
- YOU'RE RIGHT.
- Jellal: BUT AT LEAST I KNOW AT SOME POINT,
I HELPED ONE PERSON.
- Young Jellal: MY NAME'S JELLAL FERNANDES.
- Young Wally: WHOA, THAT'S A TOUGH ONE.
SO DON'T GET SORE IF I FORGET IT.
- I WON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOURS.
WALLY BUCHANAN. YEAH, IT'S KIND OF BORING, EH?
- ALRIGHT RED, YOU'RE "ERZA" WHAT?
- NOTHING, THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT.
JUST PLAIN OLD ERZA.
- WELL, YOU GOTTA HAVE A LAST NAME.
OOOHH. - HEY, WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA?
- YOUR HAIR'S PRETTY, IS ALL.
YOU THINK SO? - I GOT IT.
HOW ABOUT WE MAKE YOUR LAST NAME SCARLET?
- Young Wally: YOU GOTTA BE KIDDIN' ME.
YOU CAN'T JUST MAKE UP WHATEVER NAME YA WANT.
- I LIKE THAT A LOT.
SO NOW, I'LL BE ERZA SCARLET.
- THAT'S PERFECT.
NOW I'M NEVER GONNA FORGET YOUR NAME.
ALL I GOTTA DO IS THINK ABOUT YOUR PRETTY HAIR.
- JELLAL.
- Lucy: WHEN THE SUN ROSE THE NEXT MORNING,
IT FILLED THE SKY WITH THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CRIMSON COLOR.
I'D NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE.
IN A WAY, THAT SUNRISE MADE ME THINK OF ERZA.
IT REMINDED ME OF THE HOPE SHE CARRIES
AND THE WARMTH AND PASSION SHE HAS IN HER HEART.
I LIKE TO THINK OF HER LOOKING INTO THE SKY THAT MORNING
AND SEEING THE BEAUTY OF THE NEW DAY DAWNING.
I JUST HOPE SHE SAW IT.
- OOOH! THIS IS ADORABLE!
- YEAH, YEAH, YOU LOOK CUTE AND ALL,
BUT YOU'RE NOT NEARLY AS SEXY AS ME.
- EVERYONE IN THE VILLAGE IS A MEMBER OF THE GUILD.
CAIT SHELTER'S FAMOUS FOR ITS PRETTY TEXTILES AND CLOTHES.
- SO ARE THESE LIKE TRADITIONAL NIRVIT STYLES?
- I NEVER REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT THAT BEFORE,
BUT I GUESS IT WOULD MAKE THE MOST SENSE, HUH?
- I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU HAD ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA
EVERYONE IN THIS GUILD BUT YOU IS A DESCENDANT OF THE NIRVIT.
- Wendy: WELL, YEAH, I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO JOINED AFTER IT WAS FORMED.
- COME TRY THIS ON, ERZA.
I KNOW HOW YOU LOVE A COSTUME CHANGE.
- YES. I SUPPOSE.
- AND I'M GUESSING YOU DON'T KNOW
WHEN CAIT SHELTER JOINED THE LEAGUE OF GUILDS
ALONG WITH THE OTHERS, DO YOU?
I DON'T WANNA BE RUDE,
BUT I HAD NEVER EVEN HEARD OF YOUR GUILD
BEFORE ALL OF US WERE THROWN TOGETHER.
I KNOW EVERY GUILD CAN'T BE AS POPULAR AS MINE, BUT STILL.
- COME TO THINK OF IT, I HADN'T EITHER.
- OH, I DON'T KNOW.
( laughs ) WOW, I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT WE WERE SO OBSCURE.
- THIS IS ALL VERY INTERESTING.
BUT EVERYONE IS WAITING ON US.
- Robaul: FAIRY TAIL.
BLUE PEGASUS.
LAMIA SCALE.
NOT TO MENTION WENDY AND CARLA.
I COMMEND YOUR EFFORTS IN NOT ONLY DEFEATING THE ORACION SAYS,
BUT SAVING OUR VILLAGE FROM NIRVANA'S WRATH.
SPEAKING AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF OUR REGIONAL GUILD LEAGUE,
I, ROBAUL, OFFER MY DEEPEST GRATITUDE.
THANK YOU. - ( all laughing )
- NABURA, WE ARE IN YOUR DEBT.
- WE WERE HAPPY TO HELP YOU, MASTER ROBAUL!
IT WAS A HARD-WON VICTORY
AGAINST A FEROCIOUS OPPONENT.
BUT FROM THE DEEPEST, DARKEST DEPTHS OF DESPAIR,
A LIGHT SHINED DOWN ON US.
IT WAS THE BRIGHT AND WARMING GLOW
OF TRUE FRIENDSHIP.
WE FOLLOWED IT ALL THE WAY TO VICTORY.
- All: WELL SAID, MASTER. - MAN.
- THE BRIGHT AND WARMING GLOW IS PROBABLY COMING
FROM THE SPOTLIGHT HE'S HOGGING. - NO JOKE.
AND BY THE WAY, DID HE EVER FIGHT ANYONE?
- I SUPPOSE IT'S OVER NOW.
- YOU TWO SHOULD KNOW, I'M PROUD OF YOU.
- THANK YOU, SIR.
- HEY, WE DESERVE A VICTORY PARTY.
- AYE, SIR! - YES, YES, YES, YES!
IT'S TIME-- - All: YES IT'S TIME--
- TO GET DOWN. - TO GET DOWN.
- All: OH YES, OH YES, OH YES, OH YES....
- WOW! - A PARTY SOUNDS GREAT.
- PLEASE KEEP YOUR CLOTHES ON! WOW! YOU TOO, BUDDY.
- ( laughing )
- All: OH YES, OH YES, OH YES...
- SO IS THE CAIT SHELTER GUILD FEELING UP TO GETTING DOWN?
- OH YES, OH YES! - All: OH YES, OH YES, OH YES...
- OH YES!
OH.
- OH!
UH...
- ( all grunt )
- I'M TRULY SORRY.
I'VE NEGLECTED MY DUTY TO TELL YOU
ABOUT THE NIRVIT PEOPLE.
PLEASE ACCEPT MY SINCERE APOLOGY.
- WELL, IT'S NOT LIKE THAT'S GONNA STOP US FROM PARTYIN'!
- BUT WE'LL LISTEN TO WHATEVER YOU MIGHT HAVE TO SAY.
RIGHT? - AYE, SIR.
- Wendy: IT'S ALL RIGHT, MASTER.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL US IF YOU DON'T WANT TO.
- IT IS IMPORTANT.
I ASK THAT EVERYONE PLEASE LISTEN VERY CLOSELY
TO THE TALE I AM ABOUT TO TELL.
FIRST, LET ME CLEAR THE AIR ABOUT SOMETHING.
THE TRUTH IS, WE ARE NOT DESCENDANTS OF THE NIRVIT PEOPLE.
- WHAT?
- INDEED WE ARE THE NIRVITS THEMSELVES.
AND MANY YEARS AGO, 400 TO BE EXACT,
NIRVANA WAS CREATED, FASHIONED BY MY HANDS.
- BY YOU? - I DON'T BELIEVE IT.
- 400 YEARS AGO?
Robaul: I THOUGHT IF MY DREAM OF NIRVANA WAS MADE A REALITY,
I COULD END THE GHASTLY WARS TEARING THE WORLD APART.
I WOULD DO SO BY REVERSING THE MORALITY
OF THOSE WHOSE MINDS WERE SET ON THE DESTRUCTION OF OTHERS.
WE MADE OUR HOME THERE.
AND WE TOOK GREAT JOY IN WHAT WE'D ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH PEACE.
WE WERE A SHINING BEACON OF LIGHT
IN A ONCE DARK AND SHADOWY WORLD.
HOWEVER, DESPITE OUR BEST INTENTIONS,
WE COULD NOT CHANGE THE FACT THAT FOR EVERY ACTION
THERE IS AN EQUAL AND OPPOSITE REACTION.
NIRVANA HAD BROUGHT LIGHT
TO WHAT WAS ONCE A TERRIBLE DARKNESS,
NOT BY CHASING IT AWAY, BUT ABSORBING IT, SO TO SPEAK.
THE WORLD YEARNS FOR BALANCE AND ORDER.
THE LIGHT SERVES NO PURPOSE WITHOUT THE DARKNESS,
AND VICE VERSA.
LIGHT IS BORN FROM DARKNESS,
AND DARKNESS IS BORN FROM LIGHT.
THE TWO ARE FOREVER INTERTWINED.
- Gray: YEAH, THAT'S EXACTLY HOW IT PLAYED OUT FOR US.
- ALL THE WORLD'S EVIL,
TAKEN FROM THOSE WHOSE HEARTS WERE ONCE CONSUMED WITH IT,
WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE PEACE-LOVING NIRVIT.
- IT WAS?
- IT WAS A NIGHTMARE.
ENGULFED IN RAGE AND HATRED,
WE SLAUGHTERED EACH OTHER UNTIL NO ONE WAS LEFT STANDING.
THAT'S NOT QUITE TRUE.
FOR I AM THE ONLY SURVIVOR.
THEN AGAIN, IN THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION,
THE WORD "SURVIVOR" IS A LITTLE MISLEADING.
IN TRUTH, MY BODY CEASED TO FUNCTION MANY YEARS AGO.
WHAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU NOW IS A PROJECTION
OF THE MAN I ONCE WAS.
AS PUNISHMENT FOR MY SINS,
I, THIS POWERLESS SPIRIT, HAVE STOOD AS SENTINEL
OVER MY CREATION FOR 400 YEARS,
KEEPING MY WEARY EYES OPEN FOR THE ONE WHO COULD,
AT LAST, DESTROY NIRVANA
AND CONSIGN IT TO THE PAGES OF HISTORY.
AND NOW
MY POST CAN BE VACATED,
FOR THAT PERSON HAS BEEN FOUND.
- NO.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?
- MMM.
- WHAT'S HAPPENING?! DON'T GO!
- YOU CAN'T JUST LEAVE US.
- Wendy: MAGUNA! PEPEL!
- EVERYONE'S DISAPPEARING RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR EYES.
- WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
PLEASE DON'T GO!
- I'VE DECEIVED YOU WENDY. FOR THAT, I AM DEEPLY SORRY.
ALL YOUR FELLOW GUILD MEMBERS WERE SPECTERS.
THEY WERE NOTHING BUT ILLUSIONS.
- ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
- ILLUSIONS WITH THEIR OWN PERSONALITIES?
- THAT TAKES POWERFUL CREATION MAGIC.
- FOR MANY YEARS, I LIVED IN THIS DESERTED VILLAGE ALONE,
ALWAYS KEEPING A WATCHFUL EYE OVER NIRVANA.
UNTIL ONE DAY, WHEN A BOY CAME TO ME
WITH A COMPANION NEEDING HELP.
- I NEED SOMEONE TO TAKE CARE OF HER FOR ME.
- HIS EYES BURNED WITH SUCH INTENSITY AND SINCERITY
THAT I SIMPLY HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO TAKE THE LITTLE GIRL IN.
I HAD RESIGNED MYSELF TO A SOLITARY EXISTENCE,
BUT THERE SHE WAS.
- Wendy: HEY, MISTER? WHAT IS THE PLACE?
- WELL, HOW DO I PUT THIS?
- HE LIED TO ME.
HE SAID HE WAS GONNA TAKE ME TO A MAGIC GUILD.
- RIGHT! THIS IS A GUILD.
A MAGICAL GUILD FOR WIZARDS OF EVERY STRIPE.
- WOW! REALLY?
- OF COURSE IT IS.
GO ON AND SEE FOR YOURSELF.
YOUR NEW FRIENDS ARE ALL OUTSIDE WAITING FOR YOU.
- Robaul: I FILLED THE VILLAGE WITH APPARITIONS
SO SHE WOULDN'T BE ALONE.
- SO YOU CREATED AN ENTIRE GUILD JUST FOR WENDY?
- NO ONE I CARE FOR IS A REAL PERSON?!
HOW COULD YOU DO SOMETHING SO CRUEL TO ME, MASTER?
- DON'T FRET, MY DEAR. CALM DOWN.
NEITHER YOU NOR CARLA NEED THOSE IMAGINARY FRIENDS.
YOU'RE SURROUNDED BY REAL FRIENDS
WHO CARE FOR YOU.
( laughs )
A BRIGHT FUTURE AWAITS YOU.
EMBRACE IT WITH OPEN ARMS.
- MASTER!
- Robaul: TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU,
I OWE MY DEEPEST GRATITUDE.
I KNOW I CAN LEAVE WENDY AND CARLA IN YOUR HANDS.
- MASTER!
- I KNOW ALL TOO WELL
THE PAIN OF LOSING A LOVED ONE.
BUT YOU'LL HEAL.
WE'LL HELP YOU.
COME WITH US.
BE A PART OF FAIRY TAIL.
- ( end theme playing )
- ( singing in Japanese )
- Happy: IT FEELS LIKE WE'VE BEEN AWAY FROM HOME FOREVER, DOESN'T IT?
- Natsu: YEAH, IT'S TIME TO RELAX AND PUT OUR FEET UP FOR A WHILE.
- I DON'T THINK THAT'S HOW IT'S GONNA GO DOWN,
SOMEONE SAID THEY SAW A DRAGON AND NOW EVERYBODY'S UP IN ARMS.
- ARE YOU FOR REAL? WOW!
MAYBE THAT MEANS OLD IGNEEL FINALLY CAME BACK.
- I DUNNO. CAUSE CARLA AND WENDY ARE LOOKING FOR A DRAGON TOO.
- ( Happy and Natsu speaking )
- Natsu: AW, MAN, I FORGOT, WHAT'S THE NAME OF THE DRAGON
THOSE TWO ARE LOOKIN' FOR AGAIN?
- I'M PRETTY SURE IT'S WENDINA.
- Natsu: I'M PRETTY SURE IT'S NOT.
