07x241 - Tartaros Chapter – The Demon's Rebirth

[bunniefuu]

[SEILAH] You can do as I say, or

I can make you wrap your hand

around your sister's

throat again.

Your task shall be both

simple and unforgivable.

Return to your guild hall

and place this Lacrima

anywhere inside it.

Why? What will it do?

[SEILAH] It will emit a vast

amount of concentrated ether.

Imagine a Jupiter

Blast times .

Don't worry, your guild

mate's deaths will be swift.

I won't do it!

You can't make me!

Shall I have you k*ll

your sister, then?

[ELFMAN]

N-No.

[SEILAH] You've no choice.

My curse is absolute.

[LUMMY]

Speaking of things I don't like!

I think it's time I

transformed this one too!

Your name's Mira, right?

You and that stupid, cute face.

I'm gonna transform you

into the ugliest caterpillar

this world has ever seen.

What're you doing?

We're in crisis mode

here so you run away?

[ELFMAN gasps]

Is that some kind of Lacrima?

[gasps]

You can't stop me!

What do you think you're doing?

[ELFMAN]

Why did you have to come here?

Now I can't let you leave.

This is what I have to do!

[CANA]

Is it a b*mb?

[ELFMAN]

This is goodbye.

This is the end for Fairy Tail!

[CANA]

Help!

[CANA]

Is he under some kind of spell?

What do I do?

Based on everything Happy

told me, I've done it.

[ALL gasp]

That's awesome, Levy!

So where are they?

Above us.

What?

They're right over us.

Are you certain?

[GAJEEL] What the heck

are you talkin' about, kid?

[LEVY]

I know how it sounds,

but when Happy escaped,

they were near the eastern

border, heading west.

Unless they changed directions,

they should be pretty much

on top of Magnolia now.

We'll see the fireworks soon.

Guess they thought

they'd come to us.

We'll have Natsu

back in no time.

Aye.

Prepare for w*r!

[FAIRY TAIL]

Yeah!

[HAPPY gasping]

What was that?

It came from Fairy Tail!

Their guild hall blew up!

[CITIZEN C]

Aw, and we only just fixed it.

[CITIZEN D] You don't think

this could have to do

with the Council bombing, do ya?

I really hope that everyone

made it out in time.

Let's hope so, 'cause nobody

could've survived that.

[CITIZEN F]

Uh. We should help 'em!

No way. If they're under attack,

it'll be too dangerous!

[SEILAH] The end of Fairy Tail,

delivered as promised.

[KYOKA] That was

quite well done, Seilah.

[laughing]

I can scarcely imagine

how many bodies must

be under that rubble!

[KYOKA] We've eliminated

Fairy Tail in a single move.

It would seem that

there was no need

for us to mobilize the Cube

against them after all.

It would.

Now that they're dealt with,

we can put all of our efforts

into activating Face.

The time is upon us.

The White Legacy: Face.

Rendered foolish by their fears,

the humans built the engine

of their own demise.

Once it has cleansed

this world of magic,

the humans will be powerless,

and then the age of

demons shall begin.

And all of this... is to prepare

for the return of Zeref.

Oh, that isn't good.

Is there something that

you'd like to tell us?

[FRANMALTH]

Yeah, the thing is

I'm picking up some

approaching magic signatures.

[SOLDIER A] Lady Kyoka!

Our sentries have spotted

three individuals

approaching the Cube.

Did you say three?

Well, that's off.

The Archive is detecting over

a hundred wizards en route.

[SOLDIER A]

I can't speak to that,

but we only saw three, sir.

This doesn't make sense.

[SEILAH] I'll put our ventral

surveillance onscreen.

What are those?

Cat attack!

Just cats?

Uh, don't you "just cats" me,

they're vicious animals!

[gasps]

[FRANMALTH] I see that you

let one escape, Lord Silver.

And you say that

these three creatures

are emitting hundreds

of signatures?

Look at their paws.

Each of them seems to be

carrying something.

Decks of cards?

[CANA]

Stop this, Elfman!

Think about what you're doing!

Fairy Tail must be destroyed!

I'll destroy you.

I'll destroy us all!

[CANA] Sorry. Hope you

don't take this personally.

[ELFMAN yelling]

Destroy. I must destroy!

That blonde, tan pretty boy

taught me that trick.

Always wanted to use it.

Crap. It's about to blow.

Damn it!

We'll have Natsu

back in no time.

Aye.

Prepare for w*r!

[FAIRY TAIL]

Yeah!

Card Dimension: All!

[HAPPY gasping]

[LUCY]

Huh?

Where am I?

Wait, this magic.

What the hell's going on?

Sorry, but I have to make

sure everyone gets out,

and some of you

are way too slow!

Is that you, Cana?

[FAIRY TAIL chattering]

Now then, I return

all cards to me!

[FAIRY TAIL yelping]

[CANA]

Happy! Carla! Lily!

The guild hall's

about to explode!

Get us out of here and

head for that Tartaros base!

Those cards they're

carrying must be stacked

with Fairy Tail wizards!

So it would seem.

Impossible.

I've failed my Lady Kyoka.

Establish a perimeter!

Deploy a gravity field

beneath the Cube!

[SOLDIER A]

Yes, ma'am!

[KYOKA]

Formation One battle stations

on all six of our sides!

[SOLDIER B]

Yes, ma'am!

Keep them away from the

top of the Cube at all costs!

[HAPPY yelping]

[CARLA]

What's happening?

It's pulling us in!

[ALL yelping]

[HAPPY]

This is gonna hurt!

Gravity. They've reversed it.

[CARLA gasps]

I always wondered what life

would look like upside down.

[CARLA] It's nothing you haven't

seen before. You can fly!

[HAPPY gasps]

Hello, Tartaros. I'd like

you to meet Fairy Tail!

Let's get 'em!

[FAIRY TAIL]

Yeah!

Fairy Tail! To battle!

What happened?

You back to normal yet, Elfman?

[ELFMAN]

What have I...?

What did I just do?

You wanna save Mira

and Lisanna, right?

Then pick yourself up.

It's gettin' kinda

noisy out there.

Whelp. Doesn't matter to me.

Here's what I'ma do first.

I'ma take that pretty face

of yours and screw it up!

How's it feel

having demon blood flow into

your pathetical human body?

You're gonna look

positively hideous

by the time my work is done,

and then none of the boys'll

like you more than me!

[LUMMY]

Ahh.

From beauty queen

to troll face.

Sure does suck to be you.

[yelps]

[LUMMY screams]

[LUMMY]

Hey! Not cool.

How did you even do that?

[whimpering]

[MIRAJANE]

I'm sorry.

I already have a bit of

demon blood in my veins.

That's how I'm able to

use Satan Soul magic.

[whimpering]

That injection was

really quite helpful.

[screaming]

[MIRAJANE chuckles]

I'm glad we have Erza here.

Hostages tend to be rather

effective against humans.

Sure took ya long enough!

How the tables have turned.

We had you in shackles.

How did you escape?

[NATSU] That'd be on account

of this awesome sword of yours.

[KYOKA]

You found the Heat Blade?

Whatever you call it,

it was exactly what we needed.

It practically fell

into our laps

when the place started shakin'.

Turns out it can cut through

just about anything.

What have you done with Erza?

[ERZA]

I received such tender treatment

when I was your prisoner.

It'd be a shame if I

couldn't return the favor.

I intend to make the

remainder of your short life

a living hell.

Makes you wonder what she did.

[NATSU] Where did you

take Elfman and Mira?

You mean they captured

Elfman as well?

[ERZA]

Answer him.

Whoever "Elfman" is,

I've not heard of him.

As for the one you call Mira,

two floors down, in the lab.

But there's no

guarantee she's alive.

What did you say?

I'm sorry, but

I need to find her!

Natsu, go help her out.

I'll take care of this one.

All right then!

What was the source

of all that shaking?

Our Fortress had a stronger

than expected reaction

to the unsealing of Face.

So, you did unseal Face?

Then, does that mean

you k*lled Jellal?

[KYOKA]

No. We did not.

We did break the seal, however.

After finding a

different method.

What exactly are you

trying to achieve?

[ERZA] Activating Face

would purge all magic

from this continent.

Why would you want that?

What would it

accomplish for you?

Everything we've done...

...we've done so that

we may return to Zeref.

What do you mean

"return" to him?

[KYOKA]

You're such a fool!

[KYOKA] These restraints are

designed to inhibit magic!

But they have no effect on

curses, thus no effect on me!

[KYOKA gasps]

So, you're all

followers of Zeref.

"Followers" would be

an understatement,

no we're more like his children.

We're all born of

the sacred books.

Born of the Books of Zeref!

It's only natural for us to

have faith in our Creator.

I have no problem

with faith in others.

But it can't justify what

the heart knows is wrong!

[KYOKA]

How could a human understand?

[ERZA] Humans have beliefs

of their own, and faith, too.

And we need that.

We mustn't let it blind us.

We think for ourselves,

and we stand for our beliefs.

[ERZA yelling]

[ERZA] You alone are responsible

for what you choose!

[SOLDIERS yelling]

They just keep on comin'.

I'm startin' to get bored!

Just who do you think you are?

Gettin' fresh with my Gray

while his back is turned!

[chuckles]

Ah, that is gross.

Taste my Iron Dragon

Roar!

[WENDY]

You asked for this.

Sky Dragon Wing Attack!

I guess that didn't settle it.

Sky Dragon Roar!

Have a Lucy Kick!

[TAURUS]

Moo!

[TAURUS]

Heh?

Look out, Miss Lucy! Behind you!

[gasps]

I've got this. Regulus Impact!

[SOLDIERS screaming]

Hey, thanks!

You show up on your own a lot.

Never lower your

guard in battle.

However...

[LUCY]

Uh.

I think you'd find

it quite rewarding

if you lowered it for me.

I've got my doubts about that,

but also, this isn't the time.

You've implied that

there may be a time,

and I am oh so willing to wait.

Loke! I could use

some help here!

Zenith of Regulus:

Lion Brilliance!

[MAKAROV]

Begone!

Knuckle Plant! Go!

[DROY yelping]

Falcon Soar!

I appreciate the backup, bro.

No prob,

but I think that weight you put

on might be slowin' ya down.

Ah, shut up! I already told ya,

it's obviously muscle mass!

Have you seen Levy?

She's got herself

covered. Take a look.

[LEVY]

Solid Script magic.

Stone Script!

[MAX]

Sand Rebellion!

Quit slackin' off, you two.

[DROY, JET]

We weren't.

[JET]

Just how many are there?

Too many to count.

Laxus and the Thunder Legion are

still down we gotta protect 'em.

Why did you bring

our injured with us?

Because if I hadn't, they'd be

in tiny little pieces right now.

[ELFMAN grunts]

[ELFMAN]

I'm sorry. It was my fault.

You call yourself a man,

so how about you quit sulking

and help us defeat our enemy!

I hear ya, yeah, a real man

owns up to his mistakes.

So that's what I'm gonna do!

I'm the Gunner! Yee-haw.

Dual wielded g*n Magic.

Tornado Shot!

Thanks, babe.

You all right?

[BISCA]

Yeah. Where's Asca?

Don't worry. She's with me.

This is fun!

I'm gettin' real sick

of you scumbags.

Rainbow Fire!

We can beat them back,

but how do we move forward?

[WAKABA] We gotta get on top

of this thing, somehow.

We could fly people over,

but this gravity field

is stronger than normal.

We're on the bottom of

this thing right now,

so that means we must be

real far from the top.

What do we do?

We're wasting our

strength down here

while Erza and the others

are lying in chains!

[yelling]

We have to find a way

to get into this fortress!

What the--?

An expl*si*n?

It's Erza!

[MAKAROV]

There's our way through!

I'm coming, Mira! I'm

gonna save you, hold on!

[SOLDIER I]

I see them!

[SOLDIER J]

The escaped prisoners!

[SOLDIER K]

Run 'em down!

[NATSU]

Go on, Lisanna.

I've got this.

You sure?

Go save Mira!

Right!

[SOLDIER L]

Huh?

[yelling]

This is easy now

that I can use magic.

What's the deal?

They're all frozen in place.

[ZEREF] You've come

quite a long way, Natsu.

[ZEREF]

I always hoped you would.

[NATSU grunts]

[ZEREF] This is Tartaros,

the Library of Zeref.

Where all my books reside.

[LUCY]

Now that Erza's cleared the way.

Fairy Tail can finally

begin its counter attack.

But the demons of Tartaros

have already sown

the seeds of disaster.

And they fully

intend to harvest.

As the two mighty guilds

converge on one another

and engage in total w*r,

Zeref appears before

Natsu... just to talk?

What exactly is he after?

Next Time: "Tartaros Chapter

To Let Live or Die."

Truth runs deeper than darkness.
