07x253 - Tartaros Chapter – A Silver Wish
Posted: 04/24/23 07:38
[SILVER] It wasn't the
Dragon Slayer. It was you.
[GRAY]
Ice Make.
[GRAY]
Vambrace!
[GRAY] You lied to me.
You aren't Deliora.
You're my dad. I know you are.
[SILVER] Don't leave me
hangin', kid. Finish it.
[GRAY]
Like hell I will!
I'm your son, and you
owe me some answers!
What do you want from me?
Why are you doing all this?
[SILVER] Because what I want
more than anything else
in this world, is
for you to k*ll me.
Once upon a time, I was
a very different man.
Back then, I was your father.
But now...
[SILVER]
Now I'm just a walking corpse.
[SILVER] A dead body
that never got buried.
Seventeen years.
My life was taken from me.
I've been waiting on
the grave ever since.
[KEYES] The apocryphal
tale comes to its end.
What follows is dark
truth, colder than stone.
No. You're wrong! That
man can't be his father!
You're lying to me.
[KEYES] Truth is not
subject to what you believe.
I was there at the
story's beginning.
[JUVIA] Why are you so
proud? What did you do?
[SILVER] That old bag
of bones, the necromancer,
uses dead bodies like puppets.
But with me, he wanted
to change things up
and try something different.
What do you mean?
[SILVER] He was getting bored
with just making corpses
do his bidding.
He wanted to make
one live again.
There was no special reason
he chose me, just dumb luck,
and somehow I've been able
to keep living for this long.
But then again, I wouldn't
call this living.
Years of going crazy.
All I could think about
was getting revenge.
k*lling the demons that
took my family from me.
[SILVER]
I was in some strange lie.
I was in a Guild of Demons,
but I slayed as many as I
could without them knowing.
Sorry about freezing that
village. That was a mistake.
Thing sure looked like
a demon to me. Heh.
Anyway, I had a plan.
I would get rid of all the
other demons I could find.
Then, get started on my
"partners" in Tartaros.
But... one day...
[SILVER]
I saw you.
I thought you had d*ed
alongside Mika and me.
[CROWD cheering]
[SILVER] And I made
a realization that day.
[SILVER]
My hands were stained in blood.
After all I had done, I
wasn't fit to take revenge.
I didn't deserve it anymore.
[GRAY] So instead,
you just wanted to die?
[SILVER] I told ya,
I've been dead too long.
I just wanted it to be over.
My revenge. I needed
you to carry it out.
Is that what this is?
Why did you make me go
through all this crap?
[gasps]
[GRAY]
You k*lled my family.
And then, you k*lled
my master, too!
I'll do anything to stop you!
[SILVER]
It's gonna be okay.
Even after all this,
I know you'll be just fine.
I acted like a
monster to you, son.
I know that I hurt you.
I hope you'll forgive me.
[GRAY]
He did it all to help me.
I had to face the demon
haunting me and slay it.
Probably best if you
just put me behind you.
I mean, I d*ed such
a long time ago.
[GRAY]
How could I do that?
Whatever happened,
you're still my dad!
[SILVER]
No.
A man who'd dream of hurting
his own child is no father.
[GRAY]
That's not you.
[SILVER] I'm done talking.
Just finish me off.
You just wanna be able
to rest in peace?
I do. And be with your mother.
[SILVER]
Do it!
I deserve to die
for what I've done!
For Face! For murdering
those council members!
I'm your enemy! So k*ll me!
[GRAY]
You're right.
Even if you're really
my father by blood,
you're still an
enemy of Fairy Tail.
Our guild is bound by
something stronger than blood.
And we punish those
who do us wrong.
You live exactly as you should.
[GRAY]
I know!
But I could never bring
myself to k*ll you, dad!
[GRAY]
I can't... I just can't.
[SILVER] That's because
you're a good person.
No matter what happens,
this body isn't gonna
last much longer.
I've missed you so much, Dad.
[SILVER]
I know.
[SILVER]
I missed you too, son.
I'm proud of the man that
you've grown up to be. So proud.
I wish your mother could
see who you've become.
[GRAY crying]
[SILVER]
Hey, girl, can you hear me?
[JUVIA]
Who is this?
[SILVER]
Just making sure,
but you're Gray's
girlfriend, right?
[JUVIA gasping]
[JUVIA] Uh, that's way
too complicated to answer.
Wait, is this his father?
[SILVER]
Yeah, listen.
We don't have a whole
lotta time here,
so let me get to the point.
That decrepit old skeleton
you're fightin' right now,
that's Keyes.
He's the weakest
of the Demon Gates.
You gotta find
a way to b*at him.
He's a necromancer, and he's in
control of that old Chairman.
He's using the dead guy's corpse
to launch a few thousand
of those Face bombs.
[JUVIA] No. There are
thousands of those things?
[SILVER]
Yeah, and they're gonna go off
unless you can take that bag
of bones down real soon.
[JUVIA] But, sir, if I do that,
won't it k*ll you, too?
[SILVER]
I guess Keyes told ya that.
Oh well, you have to do it.
It's the only way to save Gray.
[NATSU yells]
[TEMPESTER]
Whoosh.
I'm gettin' real sick
of all this crap!
Rumble.
[screaming]
The more you howl, the more
you continue to prove my point.
So how 'bout I prove
another point?
The one at the end of my fist!
Dragon Sword!
[TORAFUZAR]
Heh.
[GAJEEL grunts]
[TORAFUZAR] These techniques
are all quite fascinating.
I ain't puttin'
on a show for ya!
Scumbag.
I'm a demon.
But what's most fascinating
is you're still alive.
I had no idea humans
like you even existed.
[GAJEEL] And I didn't believe
in shark demons till now.
I've never seen Nastu and Gajeel
struggle so much to win a fight.
And Juvia too.
[JUVIA screaming]
[JUVIA]
Sir, are you still there?
Sir, please!
[JUVIA]
I can't hear him anymore.
But if this will
help my darling...
[JUVIA] I'll do whatever
it takes. I can't lose Gray.
[LECTOR]
Holy cow.
Did you guys hear
that expl*si*n?
Sounds like Sting and
Rogue are wreckin' it!
Yeah. Boom!
I think everybody's
fightin' out there.
So we need to hurry
and do our part.
Let's go!
Hey, Toadstool!
Which way do we go from here?
Say what? Do not
insult me like that!
Looks can be deceiving,
ya pipsqueak.
I am one of the terrifying
Nine Demon Gates, ya know?
As if I'd ever take orders from
a talking kitty cat, anyway.
How about taking orders
from someone who could
crush you into putty?
[FRANMALTH] That's a very
convincing argument!
Okay, we need to go to
the right! To the right!
[HAPPY]
There's a wall over there!
Well, I suppose I was wrong.
I'm incredibly sorry.
Maybe it's just a little
bit farther over that way.
Uh, I'm just a wee
bit disoriented.
[yelps]
[FRANMALTH] It's another
paces up and to the left!
I don't trust this "whatever
he is" to lead us the right way.
[FROSCH] He's just not
good with directions.
Your injuries, are
they still as painful?
[MINERVA (NEO)]
No.
Well, a little better.
Ya know, all ya gotta
do is say the word
and me and Frosch here
will carry ya, m'lady.
We don't mind at all!
Using our Aera magic to
fly us wherever we gotta go
isn't such a bad idea.
If this fungal freak
would tell us the way,
we could fly there right now.
Erza's put on a couple
of pounds since the games,
but I'll bet that you and me can
probably carry her together.
Hey, do you want to die?
Did I hear somebody mention that
they wanted to die, just now?
[HAPPY, PANTHERLILY]
No, ma'am!
[LECTOR]
I don't wanna be a downer,
but this looks like a dead end.
[FROSCH]
That's super dead.
Now listen closely,
Shitake-head!
If you waste a nanosecond
more of my time,
I will dice you into
Pantherlily's chow!
I don't eat chow!
Wah! Wah! Wah!
This place is kinda in a mess
right now because you guys
started wreckin' it the
minute you got here!
So, just cut me a little bit of
slack for having to recalibrate
all of my routes to get
to the control room.
No one else would!
Last time I checked that
makes me invaluable!
Does it?
I think she's doing all she can
to keep from making him
into a soup right now.
He's less than one second away
from becoming cat
food, at least!
[FRANMALTH] Oh! Okay, okay,
I know I've said this before,
but I am truly sorry for taking
up your precious time, ma'am.
I just figured out how
to get around this!
Don't lie to me.
If you do, that's gonna be
the last thing outta your mouth
besides screams of agony!
I don't believe a thing he says.
Truthfully speaking,
in the presence of such
beautiful ladies as yourselves,
I tend to just lose
my head completely!
Stop stalling and
tell us the way!
This is exactly how we
started this whole thing!
It's like déjà-vu!
Let's go!
Aye aye, Sir!
[KEYES] I foresaw this entire
tale unfolding from the start.
Even Silver's eventual mutiny.
Any fool could've seen it.
He grew more powerful, mastering
Ice Demon Slaying Magic.
I knew he would
someday use that skill
to enact his vengeance upon us.
But, as his creator,
I relished it.
I wanted that cold
fire to keep burning.
That righteous fury would ensure
my most beloved experiment
kept going for years
into the future.
Ha, ha. The ultimate automaton,
a relentless drive paired
with a compelling narrative.
You're playing with
people's lives!
[KEYES]
Such a delicious ironic tragedy,
a dead man and a living boy
writing each other's
final chapter.
It's my master work.
And it's more than
worth every single drop
of blood shed for its ink.
Human beings aren't
meant to be played with
like your personal toys!
[KEYES]
No, not toys.
They are subjects
for my experiments.
[JUVIA]
You're disgusting.
Enjoying people's pain
like entertainment.
[yells]
[KEYES chuckles]
[KEYES] But human pain
is so entertaining.
Yours is turning out to
be quite the spectacle.
Perhaps I can use your
pain of losing the boy
to make your corpse
do unspeakable things.
[JUVIA]
Never!
You will never control me!
[KEYES] Such bold words,
motivated by fear.
Don't forget that
if I'm defeated...
...your precious Gray
will lose his father,
right before his eyes. Again.
Those tormented
cries are lovely,
but surely you can do more
than squirm, water wielder.
[JUVIA screaming]
Hang in there!
No! Where'd they come from?
Lucy!
[TEMPESTER]
Ka-bam.
I find your total lack
of an attention span
nothing short of infuriating.
That was cheap!
[LUCY screaming]
[GAJEEL]
I got ya!
Get the hell outta my way!
You're not leaving our battle.
Get your bony hands
off! Let go! Now!
Where did all those
skeletons come from anyway?
This place is a necropolis.
And for Keyes, it's like
an endless arsenal.
Hey! I know that we can
still b*at these punks!
[KEYES]
What's holding you back?
Strike me down and
extinguish the spirit
of your true love's
dearly departed father.
Do it. Sever the bond
between them for all eternity.
No, I won't.
[KEYES]
As captivating as humans can be,
you're always so
dreadfully predictable.
Juvia!
[KEYES] Always sacrificing
logic for emotion
to feed your own wretched
desires and egos.
And you call me disgusting.
[KEYES]
How pitiful.
No way she's dead.
This can't be real.
[KEYES chuckling]
[KEYES] Another human's tale
has reached its conclusion.
However, I'm sure it
will be nothing more
than a footnote
in my glorious saga.
[BOTH]
Uh?
[KEYES]
What's happening to me?
[JUVIA]
I meant it.
[KEYES]
Wha--?
She's inside of him.
That's the craziest
thing I've ever seen.
[JUVIA] You can't just
toy with human lives.
They're not yours to play with!
[KEYES]
She's transformed into water!
Is he dying?
Surely not.
[KEYES] How could I
have been so careless?
I've been bested by
pathetic human magic?
[JUVIA] My darling Gray will
never truly lose his father.
You won't break their bond!
[KEYES screaming]
He'll live on forever
in his heart!
You will never erase him
from that sacred place!
No one can!
Because true love will always
outlast death, no matter what!
[NATSU chuckles]
[GAJEEL chuckles]
Juvia.
[JUVIA crying]
[KEYES] It's over. My tale
has finally reached its end.
Keyes is gone. She k*lled him.
[JUVIA crying]
[JUVIA]
Please forgive me, my darling.
It was all for
your sake, I swear.
[SILVER]
You released me. Thank you.
[JUVIA]
Sir, I...
[SILVER]
That's quite a day, kiddo.
You ended my suffering,
and saved all the
magic in the world.
[JUVIA]
I don't know what to say.
[SILVER]
You don't need to say anything.
[SILVER]
Just take care of my boy.
[JUVIA]
I will.
[GRAY] Goodbye, Dad.
I hope you can rest in peace.
[SILVER]
You have to finish my story.
[SILVER] I mastered Ice Demon
Slayer Magic for one reason.
I knew that's what
it would take.
I wanted use it to k*ll
E.N.D. A fire demon.
[SILVER]
That is my legacy.
And I'm passing it on to you.
I'm an Ice Demon Slayer now.
I swear, I'll k*ll E.N.D.
[LUCY]
As the life or death battle
between wizards and
demons continues,
the Dragon Slayers Natsu and
Gajeel give everything they have
and more for a seemingly
hopeless endeavor
to strike fear into the
hearts of true demons.
But much like the hulking masses
in which their Etherious
forms manifest themselves,
a shadow of terror obscures
all light from above.
Next Time:
"Tartaros Chapter Air."
The depths of the
netherworld hold darkness,
a pitch-black terror
that never ends.
Dragon Slayer. It was you.
[GRAY]
Ice Make.
[GRAY]
Vambrace!
[GRAY] You lied to me.
You aren't Deliora.
You're my dad. I know you are.
[SILVER] Don't leave me
hangin', kid. Finish it.
[GRAY]
Like hell I will!
I'm your son, and you
owe me some answers!
What do you want from me?
Why are you doing all this?
[SILVER] Because what I want
more than anything else
in this world, is
for you to k*ll me.
Once upon a time, I was
a very different man.
Back then, I was your father.
But now...
[SILVER]

[gasps]
[GRAY]
You k*lled my family.
And then, you k*lled
my master, too!
I'll do anything to stop you!
[SILVER]
It's gonna be okay.
Even after all this,
I know you'll be just fine.
I acted like a
monster to you, son.
I know that I hurt you.
I hope you'll forgive me.
[GRAY]
He did it all to help me.
I had to face the demon
haunting me and slay it.
Probably best if you

you're still my dad!
[SILVER]
No.
A man who'd dream of hurting
his own child is no father.
[GRAY]
That's not you.
[SILVER] I'm done talking.
Just finish me off.
You just wanna be able
to rest in peace?
I do. And be with your mother.
[SILVER]
Do it!
I deserve to die
for what I've done!
For Face! For murdering
those council members!
I'm your enemy! So k*ll me!
[GRAY]
You're right.
Even if you're really
my father by blood,
you're still an
enemy of Fairy Tail.
Our guild is bound by
something stronger than blood.
And we punish those
who do us wrong.
You live exactly as you should.
[GRAY]
I know!
But I could never bring
myself to k*ll you, dad!
[GRAY]
I can't... I just can't.
[SILVER] That's because
you're a good person.
No matter what happens,
this body isn't gonna
last much longer.
I've missed you so much, Dad.
[SILVER]
I know.
[SILVER]
I missed you too, son.
I'm proud of the man that
you've grown up to be. So proud.
I wish your mother could
see who you've become.
[GRAY crying]
[SILVER]
Hey, girl, can you hear me?
[JUVIA]
Who is this?
[SILVER]
Just making sure,
but you're Gray's
girlfriend, right?
[JUVIA gasping]
[JUVIA] Uh, that's way
too complicated to answer.
Wait, is this his father?
[SILVER]
Yeah, listen.
We don't have a whole
lotta time here,
so let me get to the point.
That decrepit old skeleton
you're fightin' right now,
that's Keyes.
He's the weakest
of the Demon Gates.
You gotta find
a way to b*at him.
He's a necromancer, and he's in
control of that old Chairman.
He's using the dead guy's corpse
to launch a few thousand
of those Face bombs.
[JUVIA] No. There are
thousands of those things?
[SILVER]
Yeah, and they're gonna go off
unless you can take that bag
of bones down real soon.
[JUVIA] But, sir, if I do that,
won't it k*ll you, too?
[SILVER]
I guess Keyes told ya that.
Oh well, you have to do it.
It's the only way to save Gray.
[NATSU yells]
[TEMPESTER]
Whoosh.
I'm gettin' real sick
of all this crap!
Rumble.

The more you howl, the more

[JUVIA] I'll do whatever

[JUVIA]
Never!
You will never control me!
[KEYES] Such bold words,
motivated by fear.
Don't forget that
if I'm defeated...
...your precious Gray
will lose his father,
right before his eyes. Again.
Those tormented
cries are lovely,
but surely you can do more
than squirm, water wielder.
[JUVIA screaming]
Hang in there!
No! Where'd they come from?
Lucy!
[TEMPESTER]
Ka-bam.
I find your total lack
of an attention span
nothing short of infuriating.
That was cheap!
[LUCY screaming]
[GAJEEL]
I got ya!
Get the hell outta my way!
You're not leaving our battle.
Get your bony hands
off! Let go! Now!
Where did all those
skeletons come from anyway?
This place is a necropolis.
And for Keyes, it's like
an endless arsenal.
Hey! I know that we can
still b*at these punks!
[KEYES]
What's holding you back?
Strike me down and
extinguish the spirit
of your true love's
dearly departed father.
Do it. Sever the bond
between them for all eternity.
No, I won't.
[KEYES]
As captivating as humans can be,
you're always so
dreadfully predictable.
Juvia!
[KEYES] Always sacrificing
logic for emotion
to feed your own wretched
desires and egos.
And you call me disgusting.
[KEYES]
How pitiful.
No way she's dead.
This can't be real.
[KEYES chuckling]
[KEYES] Another human's tale
has reached its conclusion.
However, I'm sure it
will be nothing more
than a footnote
in my glorious saga.
[BOTH]
Uh?
[KEYES]
What's happening to me?
[JUVIA]
I meant it.
[KEYES]
Wha--?
She's inside of him.
That's the craziest
thing I've ever seen.
[JUVIA] You can't just
toy with human lives.
They're not yours to play with!
[KEYES]
She's transformed into water!
Is he dying?
Surely not.
[KEYES] How could I
have been so careless?
I've been bested by
pathetic human magic?
[JUVIA] My darling Gray will
never truly lose his father.
You won't break their bond!
[KEYES screaming]
He'll live on forever
in his heart!
You will never erase him
from that sacred place!
No one can!
Because true love will always
outlast death, no matter what!
[NATSU chuckles]
[GAJEEL chuckles]
Juvia.
[JUVIA crying]
[KEYES] It's over. My tale
has finally reached its end.
Keyes is gone. She k*lled him.
[JUVIA crying]
[JUVIA]
Please forgive me, my darling.
It was all for
your sake, I swear.
[SILVER]
You released me. Thank you.
[JUVIA]
Sir, I...
[SILVER]
That's quite a day, kiddo.
You ended my suffering,
and saved all the
magic in the world.
[JUVIA]
I don't know what to say.
[SILVER]
You don't need to say anything.
[SILVER]
Just take care of my boy.
[JUVIA]
I will.
[GRAY] Goodbye, Dad.
I hope you can rest in peace.
[SILVER]
You have to finish my story.
[SILVER] I mastered Ice Demon
Slayer Magic for one reason.
I knew that's what
it would take.
I wanted use it to k*ll
E.N.D. A fire demon.
[SILVER]
That is my legacy.
And I'm passing it on to you.
I'm an Ice Demon Slayer now.
I swear, I'll k*ll E.N.D.
[LUCY]
As the life or death battle
between wizards and
demons continues,
the Dragon Slayers Natsu and
Gajeel give everything they have
and more for a seemingly
hopeless endeavor
to strike fear into the
hearts of true demons.
But much like the hulking masses
in which their Etherious
forms manifest themselves,
a shadow of terror obscures
all light from above.
Next Time:
"Tartaros Chapter Air."
The depths of the
netherworld hold darkness,
a pitch-black terror
that never ends.
