Zeref...

Where is Zeref?

There.

Natsu...

Gray...

Wow wow

Oh We'll get strong!!

Wow wow

Hey! Mr. Pain!!

Bring it!! Bring it!!

I won't let you do as you like!!

I'll get stronger than you.

I've already made up my mind to be so!!

Yeah, I'm an out-and-out dreamer

heading to where my heart sings

Obstacles in the way of tomorrow? Bring 'em on!

ey Yo!! Bring it! Anytime, anywhere!

Mr. PAIN

I'll tear challenges right in half, non-stop

I'm not gonna lose to anything

(Raise a flag!!)

Even if I get covered in bruises

(Raise a flag!!)

I have friends who'll fight by my side

A brilliantly shining new world!!

I'll gouge the darkness blocking the light

and break through my so-called limits

to grab the new world with my own two hands!!

I'll mercilessly unleash critical hits

into the boundless future

Wow wow

Oh We'll get strong!!

Wow wow

Gray...

Natsu...

Move.

So you were E.N.D. all along?

Get out of my way!

Answer me, Natsu!

I'm... going to defeat Zeref...

I have to... kill Zeref...

I guess there's no getting through to you anymore.

Don't... interfere...

I have to kill Zeref!

The demons of the Book of Zeref...

...are tools that His Majesty personally created to kill himself.

His inability to die caused him great distress,

so he attempted to produce a demon powerful enough to kill him.

His ultimate creation was E.N.D.: Etherious Natsu Dragneel.

His Majesty's younger brother and his mightiest demon.

The demons of the Book of Zeref have a homing instinct of sorts.

Because Zeref...

...must die.

"Broken Bonds"

I can't believe my mortal enemy was with me all this time...

Move.

My parents... Ur... Everything...

You--a demon of the Book of Zeref-- took it all from me...

Even Juvia!

I said move.

But don't worry, Natsu.

I'm going to stop you now!

Get out of my way, Gray!

Your magic is really something, indeed.

Your wounds were so severe...

I can resize injuries, too. But I can't fix the damage that's done.

Natsu wasn't affected at all by her time-stop?

It sounds like he's turned into a real monster.

I can make my wounds so small...

...but I can't reduce my confusion.

I'd say that's for the best.

Confusion, worries, failures...

I think they help us grow as people.

So embrace your confusion.

I feel it's proof you're truly alive.

Lucy!

Yeah!

Stay here. I'm going to go find Natsu!

We have to stop him!

I have to find... my dear Gray...

I have to do something, before it's too late!

I can't stop now!

Lucy...

Lucy!

Why are you so still?!

Lucy! Lucy!

I can't stop!

I will stop you!

And end your life!

Master!

Are you okay?!

Never mind me! Keep moving!

Easier said than done!

They just keep coming!

There's no end to 'em!

Fear not!

I'll pave the way forward!

Erza!

Thank you...

You needn't push yourself too hard, Master.

We will return to the guildhall. Together.

Of course we will, you imbecile.

Whoa!

Wh-What is that?!

Mavis. It's no use hiding.

There is no escape...

...from my sight.

It talks!

Mavis?!

They're looking for her?!

That voice...!

It's that powerful wizard we saw in the north!

The Scarlet Despair...

I've never seen magic like that before!

It's totally creepy!

How is she even doing this?!

I don't intend to run or hide.

The First Master's voice? Where's it coming from?!

You currently occupy our guildhall.

But we will take it back, without fail.

Hear me, my comrades!

Fight with me! Allow the Fairy Tactician to guide thy swords!

--First Master?! --She's huge!

Is that... an illusion?

Our original master's specialty at work...

It's so incredibly...

...inspiring!

She raised morale in the blink of an eye.

Interesting.

She used my own words as part of her calculated performance.

That detestable brat.

Damn! We're losing ground!

We outnumber them by a lot! Push 'em back!

Enchant...

What the...?!

Their soldiers are acting weird!

Oh, no! This magic...!

...Berserker.

Erza!

The soldiers' abilities have been enhanced?!

Crap! They already have us outnumbered, and now this?!

My Berserker spell makes people many times stronger than normal.

Sadly, it also turns them mindless.

So, what will your next move be, Mavis?

So, what will your next move be, Mavis?

Damn!

We need tougher defenses!

Giant Armor and the De-Malevo-Lance!

--Man, that's some strong stuff! --That's our Erza!

Requip!

Flame Empress Armor!

Thunder Empress Armor!

--Oh! --That's...!

Purgatory Armor!

--Oh, man... --You gotta be kidding me!

Do they not feel pain?!

Now what do we do?!

Dad! Open your eyes!

Dad!

So this is how it ends...

Master! You mustn't give up!

I will clear a path!

This is how my journey ends.

That stance... Fairy Law?!

Oh, yeah! I didn't even think of that!

We've got this in the bag!

--We're counting on you, Master! --We're saved!

Don't do it!

First Master?!

--Why not?! --It's our only option!

The more enemies there are, the more Fairy Law drains your life!

Your body won't withstand it! Not against this massive army!

Oh, no...

Master...

--We'll handle 'em after all! --Yeah! It's the only way!

I'm well aware of what I'm doing, First Master.

This is my final blaze of glory. Please don't stop me.

I have a plan!

One that will get us out of this predicament!

Shut up!

The kiddos are suffering before my very eyes!

They're hurt and in pain!

They might just be mere soldiers in your eyes...

...but to me, they're my precious kids!

I don't... It's not...

I fully understand that any plan of yours means certain victory.

But, right now, as we speak,

I can't stand to watch my kids shed any more blood!

If the life of this aging old soldier can give those kids a future...

...then I'll gladly give it up.

Master!

Erza. Listen to me.

No! I refuse to!

Let's return to the guildhall together!

No matter what hardships lie ahead...

...you will find a path forward if you walk together.

Trust your friends.

Trust yourself.

A guild is a family. Never forget that.

My journey has been a truly delightful one...

...thanks to all of you!

Master!

I have no more regrets.

Be good to each other, you hear?

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

and plant their trembling feet firmly into the ground.

I won't let you have our first master!

North! Head north, everyone!

We don't have a drop of alcohol to give to you.

You should respect her more than anyone!

I'm very sorry...

The finest family I could ask for!

I won't let you take my kiddos from me!

That's what a parent does.

Fairy Law!

It's so quiet all of a sudden.

Yeah. There was something just now...

I thought... I heard something...

That light just now...

That light was so bright.

Could it be?!

That felt like...

Yes...

That dimwit...

He's so cute!

You want me to name him?

Please, Mavis!

Makarov!

It's from a book I once read...

It was the name of a kindhearted king.

Please stand up, First Master.

The enemy is still here.

We can't win without you.

Do it for the old geezer, too.

I'm...

I'm happy to have been your child.

How many did we lose?

Seventy to eighty percent of our forces, I estimate.

I have to admit, I'm impressed. I underestimated them.

I taught Mavis that spell, and she passed it on to Makarov.

The remaining members of the Twelve were unaffected, however.

This changes almost nothing.

I am going to stop you, Natsu!

Gray!

Natsu!

What... are you two doing?

Erza...

Tears...

This dawn seems like it could wake us

from the dream we had that day

Wouldn't you like to see that bright future again...

...with those eyes that believed?

The wavering lights are about to go out

So let's light up our stories

one by one

I'm not going to go anywhere

as long as you're here

And when the freezing night comes

we'll sing all night long

a heartfelt lu-lu-lullaby

Your and my lullaby

to keep the dream warm

to keep the dream warm

Erza's tears stop the fight between Natsu and Gray.

Their friends have shared so much joy and sorrow with them.

The loving voice of their family

permeates both of their hearts and shears their hatred.

Meanwhile, the Alvarez army, led by the remaining Twelve,

launches a ferocious assault on Ishgar.
