Thank you, world of old.

Gramps always told us...

He told us to vow we would return...

...whenever we left through those doors.

And to vow that we would live!

Whoa...

The writing is all back again!

Lucy?

--H-Hey... --What is this?

Hey, Lucy! What happened?!

Lucy! Stay with us!

This spell we're under

is the real deal, I'm watching closely

Oh, I wonder if we can change this shattered world

Let's keep on journeying and picking up the pieces, every last one

Oh, if we can reach beyond the shattered tears

You think other people are impossible to understand

I'm gonna take away that sad notion

Let's begin

I just can't let it go

because it's just too sad

Your words, more than anyone else's

Your answers, more than anything else

are what I want to know

I want to keep shaking them up

Even if now isn't the time

My words, more than anyone else's

My answers, more than anything else

are what I want to give

So hear them and know

I want to see the same things as you

Lucy!

Something's... happening to her...

"Raging Fire of the Dragon"

Lucy!

Snap out of it!

Ow!

Something inside me... is burning...

Natsu's fire...

His fire as a demon...

But I can also use this... as a clue...

If I follow this magic power...

...I might...

You might be able to rewrite the demon inside Natsu.

But if you do that, you'll--!

I'll be fine...

That feels better.

Let's save Natsu. Together.

Yeah.

His wound disappeared?

Say, where is the Book of E.N.D. anyway?

Could it be?! Has someone rewritten it?!

It's hard to imagine that any human could understand demonic script.

But even if they could, the darkness would eventually infect and overcome them.

That was a miraculous return, literally. But it won't happen again.

The rewriter's life won't hold out.

Thank you, Lucy...

Happy... Gray...

Now I see... I finally understand.

I...

...love you both.

From the bottom of my heart.

That was Gramps' voice.

But all I cared about was fighting Gray...

I let myself get knocked out of the fight when everyone else was in trouble...

And I only thought about myself...

Come on, remember! What are we fighting for?!

It's all for Fairy Tail!

That feeling is the last of our strength!

And our ultimate power!

Jellal!

Hear me, seeker of death...

I am the devourer of all sorcery...

The arcane dragon, Acnologia!

He's stripping away... my magic power...!

Get out of there, Jellal!

But...

If I can just push him into the time rift...

Then I can keep...

...Erza safe!

Stop, Jellal!

Mr. Ichiya! The ship can't take any more!

--We're going down! --Everyone, brace for impact!

I will crush you right here and now.

No...

How long must you stand in my way until you're satisfied?!

Until I can laugh and smile with all the others again!

That's precisely the world I'm trying to create!

No!

You're only thinking about yourself.

You're trying to deny this world's existence!

You have never known the pain of living in a world that rejects you at every turn.

You know nothing...!

Burn! Every last bit of me!

Turn the guild's strength into fire!

Hear me, my curse...

My anger...

My sorrow...

Transform all that darkness into power!

Fire Dragon King: Destruction Fist!

Dark Blast Inferno!

This is the end, Zeref!

Begone, Natsu!

Fire Dragon King: Destruction Fist!

Dark Blast Inferno!

This is the end, Zeref!

Begone, Natsu!

Zeref!

Natsu!

Natsu...

It's so hot...!

It burns! It's burning my magic...!

It's burning time itself!

He's lit his own spirit on fire to--?!

This is Natsu's fire...

The guild's fire!

Jellal!

Get away from the ship, everyone!

Before it explodes!

I'm coming for you!

--What the...?! --The ship's moving?!

Who's doing it?!

Stop! The ship could explode at any time!

How is it even working after the damage it took?!

All things have their due time.

I'm sorry, Blue Pegasus.

I'm going to drive him-- and this ship--into the time rift!

--Mrs. Anna! --That's insane!

You'll die!

This is my duty. My 400-year long mission!

This is crazy!

Only we know how to pilot the Christina!

I...

...h-have to--!

I'll take the wheel from here.

--Mr. Ichiya?! --Oh, no!

Ichiya...

I can't let a lady with such a lovely parfum do this all alone.

You really are a gentleman.

Mrs. Anna! Mr. Ichiya!

--Mr. Ichiya! --Master!

Captain!

Let go of our Jellal!

There's someone you need to make happy!

You need to live! So that you can protect her!

Let us handle this now!

Ichiya...

Chew on this, Acnologia!

This is the end!

The Dragon King's era is over!

My body... It's...!

Sacred fire...?!

No, it's not!

It's a raging fire of emotion!

They're gone...

Acnologia, Mr. Ichiya, and Mrs. Anna...

They all went into the time rift...

We won...

Right?

I... can't move...

This has never happened before...

Could it be? Am I--?

No... There's no way I could die.

I'm sure I'll be healed soon and...

Can I leave the rest to you, First Master?

Yes.

I'm... tired.

I want to see Happy and the others.

Bye, Big Brother.

Mavis...

Zeref...

At the top of this hill, you can look down at the city

I'm sure the person you want to see is doing the same

I still remember what you said that day

"I'm fighting for someone."

You even have wounds that will never heal

So you lament that we'll never understand each other

and put on such a sad smile

I'll take you to a place where you can fly as far and as long as you want

So don't let go of me

If we can accept everything and reach that place

then I just know we'll be unbeatable

The Curse of Contradiction set the gears of fate in motion for Zeref and Mavis.

Now, after the battle with Natsu, the two find themselves alone again.

As Mavis shares her feelings out loud, what goes through their heads?

Greater sorrow? Or greater despair?
