[groaning]
Lucky for you,
that five-minute countdown'll
take longer than your death.
[screaming]
Unhand Wendy, you monster!
Take this! And this too!
I'm sorry, Carla.
I'll scratch your
eyes out, let her go!
Carla. You have to run.
Let her go! Take me instead!
[CARLA]
Come on then!
Don't hurt Carla!
Please, put her down!
That's a weird lookin' cat.
Still, it looks edible.
Stop! Don't do this,
I'm begging you!
[WENDY]
No!
Wendy... the air.
[gasps]
[WENDY] This wonderful air.
That breath I took.
Face is permeated with
high-density ether-nano.
There's so much of the stuff
that the air around
Face is swathed in it.
If I could ingest
it like Natsu did.
If I could just...
breathe it in.
It might make me strong
enough to save Carla.
[WENDY yelling]
[EZEL yelps]
Whoa! What was that?
[CARLA] Wendy used to
seem so weak and timid.
I thought I'd always
have to protect her.
I was wrong. She got
stronger every day.
And now she has
the Dragon Force.
[CARLA]
She has the Dragon Force.
Where did this power come from?
[WENDY]
I hear the voice of the wind.
I feel the pulse of
the sky in my veins.
For as long as this lasts.
[grunts]
This pocket of space
is mine to command!
Where'd she go?
[roaring]
[EZEL]
You little brat!
Incredible!
This might be fun after all!
[CARLA gasps]
[gasps]
[EZEL]
Prepare to die!
Swords of Tenka Goken!
Onimaru!
[EZEL]
Too slow!
Juzumaru!
[chuckles]
[CARLA] We're running
out of time, Wendy.
You have to hurry!
I know, Carla.
I'm ending this right now!
Watch me!
What?
She has me surrounded. Damn it!
Dragon Slayer Secret Art!
Shattering Light: Sky Drill!
[laughing]
My curses can cut through
anything you throw at me.
Demon Blade Mikazuki!
[WENDY screaming]
[CARLA]
Wendy!
[WENDY screaming]
[EZEL laughing]
[EZEL]
Activate Cutting mode!
[EZEL] Now these curse
blades are even sharper.
Nothing'll save you now!
We have less than
four minutes left!
[laughing]
[WENDY]
This pocket of space...
[snarls]
[WENDY]
...is mine to command.
Nothing can stop me!
[EZEL]
Someone's a slow learner.
My blades can cut through
your air, remember?
[WENDY]
But I need more.
I need to gather as
much wind as I can!
My swords! I can't
even swing them.
There's too much wind. It's
all I can do just to stand!
[WENDY] Even if it's
just a fraction, please,
grant me some of
Natsu's strength!
[EZEL yelling]
Wendy, look out!
[WENDY]
Help me fight!
[EZEL screaming]
I really did it.
No, why?
[CARLA]
Wendy destroyed Face.
So why is the
countdown still going?
No. I can't even move.
I guess... everything
I had wasn't enough.
[FRANMALTH laughing]
I still don't understand
how he was able
to absorb Natsu's
lightning flames.
How can we beat him if our
att*cks make him stronger?
Hit me with your best shot.
I can promise you ahead of time,
it won't be good enough.
Every spell has a soul,
and every soul can be devoured.
If that's right, then I'll
just have to blast ya
with more than you can stomach.
What a theory! Come test it!
You'll be the river man
and I'll be the reaper,
but-but I am also still Hades.
Yeah, I feel like that
metaphor kinda fell apart
at the end there.
I guess I used to respect Hades.
Didn't notice till
I stopped just now.
What's goin' on?
[LUCY, HAPPY yelp]
[FRANMALTH] That's the Cube's
way of saying you're beaten.
Our work has paid off.
We're about to bring the
age of magic to an end!
[crying]
I'm sorry, everyone.
What's with all this shaking?
[HAPPY yelps]
This is freaking me out.
The Cube's reacting
to Face's rising power.
Damn it.
[FRANMALTH]
If you still want to attack me,
you'd better do it soon.
This continent will be free
of magic in three minutes!
We're down to three minutes?
Ya gotta beat him
up quick, Natsu!
[FRANMALTH] How much is a
wizard worth without his magic?
I'd say nothing!
Ice Geyser!
[KEYES] So you're a practitioner
of Ice Magic, are you?
Very intriguing.
That's a new one.
If my att*cks "intrigue" you,
they aren't doin' their job.
[KEYES]
How tragic truth can be.
What was that?
Stop talkin' in riddles, man,
just say what you mean!
Why's it feel like your
Cube's about to sink?
[KEYES]
Because the end is nigh for you.
So this is how
a true demon fights.
[LISANNA] They look pretty
evenly matched from this angle.
[LISANNA yelps]
w*r isn't a spectator
sport, girlie.
[LUMMY laughing]
Have I met you before?
Nope, but between
that pretty face
and those ridiculous cat
ears, I hate you already.
[LISANNA gasps]
[ERZA yells]
The beginning of the end.
Man shall rule
this world no more.
Oh, perfect.
So then I'm to understand
that the enemy has Porlyusica
and the rest surrounded?
[GUILD MEMBER A] This is bad.
There's nowhere left to run!
[GUILD MEMBER B] Stand your
ground! Protect the wounded!
[MAKAROV] Very well, I'll
leave our offensive to you.
Make sure you don't
forget to take a sample
from the one with
those Bane Particles.
I'll go and give
Porlyusica some backup.
[MAKAROV]
I drastically underestimated
the enemy's numbers.
If Face were to detonate now,
we'd lose any chance
of victory we had.
[LUCY]
C'mon, Wendy.
[WENDY]
I couldn't save anyone.
[WENDY]
Carla, I... I'm so sorry.
[CARLA] I think...
there might still be a way.
[CARLA] What's left of
Face draws its energy
from the same ether-nano
that empowered you.
If we could slightly
change the way
that ether-nano was processed,
we could detonate Face's entire
fuel supply and destroy it.
Sounds like it could work,
but how do you know all this?
[CARLA]
I've done it.
[CARLA] I saw myself
do it in the future.
I had a premonition in
which Face didn't go off.
Well, actually, it was a bit
more challenging than that.
I looked through
many possible futures,
searching for times
when we succeeded.
But even with all
those possibilities,
I could only find one.
So the plan will work.
[CARLA]
In my premonition,
I was able to bring up
Face's ether-nano processes
from this control panel.
You always find a way.
I'm proud of you, Carla.
After that, I input
this override code.
[CARLA] Input accepted. The
ether-nano's combustible now.
That's wonderful!
Everything'll be okay then.
[CARLA]
No, not exactly.
[gasps]
This timeline is about
to go blank for me.
No future.
There's nothing to see.
What're you saying, Carla?
I can tell you with certainty,
this will stop Face.
And allow magic to endure.
[WENDY]
Then what's wrong?
[CARLA] When I touch that
button, Face will self destruct.
The expl*si*n. We won't be
able to escape it in time.
[WENDY whimpers]
[CARLA]
I'm fond of magic,
but personally, I know
I could survive without it.
I think all of us could.
After all, we've already
done it back in Edolas.
We could survive,
but all of our friends.
They're in the middle
of a battle right now.
We can't let them lose their
magic at a time like this.
[CARLA]
Yes, you're right.
Now listen, Wendy.
I have no way of predicting how
large this expl*si*n might be.
If you leave now, you
might make it far enough.
So go. I'll handle this.
How can you ask me to
do that?! I would never!
[CARLA]
Please go, Wendy.
Live. For me.
No, I won't! I'm not about to
leave you here to die alone!
[CARLA]
I don't want you to be here!
Leave so I can do this.
[WENDY]
No!
We'll be together forever.
You made me that promise.
Did you mean it?
I did mean it.
But I'm not strong enough
to fly right now.
There's no way for me to leave.
[WENDY]
Yeah, I know.
The same goes for me.
I can barely even crawl.
I wouldn't make it
ten feet if I did leave.
[WENDY]
But I'm gonna stay.
Honestly, Carla, there are worse
ways for an adventure to end.
We got to save our friends.
And we were there for each other
through all the tough times.
[WENDY] All we have to
do is press it, right?
[CARLA]
Right.
Together then?
Yes. We'll be together forever.
[WENDY crying]
[CARLA]
Why are you crying this time?
'Cause I can't stop.
Would you try at least?
Well, maybe.
I could try to stop crying
if you promised be my friend.
But what's a friend?
A friend is someone
who you like, and--
And, um, well you--
I don't really know!
[chuckles]
Oh, good grief.
[WENDY] So we're friends
from now on, okay?
[CARLA]
Sure!
[WENDY laughs] I remember now!
Friends stay together,
forever and always!
[WENDY]
Um, hi, everyone.
I'm from the Cait Shelter Guild.
My name's Wendy Marvel.
And... it's very nice
to meet all of you.
Wendy Marvel?
What's with that tone,
d'ya know her or somethin'?
You said you're
from Cait Shelter?
Weird, I've never
heard of that guild.
I'm picking up a great deal
of magic power from her.
[HAPPY gasping]
[CARLA]
Hmph.
Hey there, Carla.
You followed me here?
Well of course I did!
You're far too young to be
traveling unaccompanied, child.
And also, I recall you saying
that we'd be together forever.
[chuckles]
Carla, would you
be my friend again?
Of course I would.
Just in time.
Talk about reckless.
[DORANBOLT] So these are the
heroes who destroyed Face.
They're about the two
smallest warriors I've seen.
[LUCY] Wendy and Carla
successfully prevented Face
from detonating,
and that provided
a much needed morale boost
for the rest of the guild.
But even as we celebrate,
an enraged Tartaros
prepares to strike back.
Using the evil soul of Hades,
the demon Franmalth
hits us with att*cks
both powerful and frightening,
in equal measure.
Next Time:
"Tartaros Chapter Hell's Core."
If you truly hold it dear,
never let it go.
