09x291 - The Magnolia Defensive w*r

X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=MPEGTS:,LOCAL:::.
No matter what
we're up against,
Fairy Heart must remain secret.
The world just
isn't ready for it.
We'll need to formulate
our strategy.
Everybody, pay close attention.
Zeref will invade Ishgar
with his entire army.
I won't sugar coat it.
There's no question we are at
an overwhelming disadvantage.
Our enemy is greater in number
and far more powerful than
any we've faced before.
But due to our courage and
our bond, we will prevail.
Let's show them what
our guild is made of!
[chuckles]
[LUCY]
Fairy Heart.
A powerful source of
everlasting magic,
with a limitless potential.
[LUCY] Zeref can't resist
its destructive power,
and is launching an invasion
of Ishgar to get it.
We have to make sure
that doesn't happen.
We can't let that thing
be used for evil.
No. I shouldn't say
it's a "thing."
It's the body of our First
Master, Mavis Vermiliion.
Which is even more
reason to keep it safe.
Had it not been for
her kind heart,
Fairy Tail would never have
brought us all together.
Who knows where we'd be.
Pretty good stuff there, Lucy!
If you keep it up,
you could turn into a
real novelist someday.
[LUCY gasps]
"Had it not been for
her kind heart"...
..."Fairy Tail would've never
brought us all together."
[LUCY] There's a difference
between "being together"
and "breaking and entering!"!
You should try to
relax a little.
The town is all
empty and boring,
so we decided to come over here.
Well, I'm glad they
were able to evacuate
all the citizens at least.
Cut loose, Lucy! Heh.
Let's have some fun!
Yeah, come on!
We brought a whole
buncha games and stuff!
You know, we're going
into a huge battle
with a terrifying
enemy tomorrow.
I'm not feeling games.
And unlike the two
of you knuckleheads,
I'm really not feeling all that
excited about fighting, either.
Huh?! I'm not "excited"
about the w*r!
I don't think you understand
somethin' about me.
I mean, I enjoy a good fight,
but only when it's
a competition.
I hate it when it involves
death, like this one.
Giving everything
I've got in a fight
to see how much I've
grown is what I live for.
But this time is way different.
I'll do anything for us to win,
or else we won't survive this.
Plus, there's somethin' I really
wanna do when it's over.
Aye!
I know you're dyin' to
hear what it is, Lucy!
[LUCY]
Nope, stop right there!
Don't say a thing.
This is actually a classic
literary technique
we writers call
"foreshadowing."
And what does that mean?
Like when someone talks
about their future plans
right before something big.
But then a tragedy strikes
and prevents them
from fulfilling their dream.
[NATSU] We're not scared
to talk about the future.
[HAPPY]
Aye.
Igneel himself told me I
should always talk about it.
Because that's what gives us
the strength to make it there!
That's a nice way to look at it.
[NATSU] All right!
Let's play some games!
[HAPPY]
Who's in for strip poker?
[LUCY] Not me, you freaky cat!
Besides, you're already naked!
So do you think it's possible
Jellal and Crime
Sorcière will help?
I do.
Since Zeref is the enemy,
I'd say it's almost guaranteed.
That does make me feel
a little bit better.
Although, most of that
crew were the ones
who destroyed Cait Shelter.
Well, they've changed!
[ERZA]
Ah, that reminds me
of the day I first invited
you to join Fairy Tail.
[WENDY]
We're so grateful!
[ERZA] Which also means I was
the one who dragged them
into this life filled
with so much fighting.
I'm responsible for them.
I have to keep them
safe best I can.
[WENDY]
Hey, Erza!
This time I'll protect you
for all you've done for me.
Oh, my!
I have loved watching you
grow into who you are.
Everyone in the guild
is so very proud of you.
[gasps]
[giggles]
Are you okay, my love?
[GRAY]
Hm?
I'm fine. Care for a bite?
Wow! My darling Gray is
sharing his food with me?
His lips touched this!
I hope you know
I appreciate you.
[JUVIA gasps]
[GRAY] I can always count on
you to be by my side, right?
[JUVIA] Oh, well, uh,
yes, of course, my love!
If that's what you want!
I'll give you my answer
once the battle is over.
[JUVIA]
Huh?
[GRAY] But for now,
let me focus on this.
Sure.
I'm gonna take down Zeref.
With my secret w*apon!
Natsu's not the only one of us
who's got a trick up his sleeve.
So Zeref... E.N.D...
...we're coming for both of you.
[MAKAROV] Has your scanner
picked up anything yet, Warren?
There's been no sign of the
enemy inside of Fiore so far.
That's good to hear,
but are you positive we can
put our trust in that thing?
I built this ultra-high
performance
radar myself, ya know?
They're coming. That we know.
But we don't know
from what direction.
Finding out where they plan
to launch their as*ault
may mean the difference
between life and death.
The most orthodox
strategy would be
creating a diversion
in the north,
with the main force
coming from the south.
First Master!
I just checked up on everyone,
before the battle begins.
Our guild, they all seem so
carefree despite the danger.
Their bravery is
quite remarkable.
I think I may have a different
read on the situation.
The kids are all
desperately trying
to keep their anxiety at bay,
so they're spending
time with each other
to pool their fortitude and
lift one another's spirits.
That is crucial at
a time like this.
But still, I cannot hold them
at fault for their fear tonight.
When a parent is afraid,
that feeling will be shared
with their children.
So it's a parent's duty to stand
up in front of their children,
and though they may tremble,
plant their feet firmly
into the ground.
You're right!
[ALL gasp]
What's that?
[LUCY gasps]
I think something's
happening outside.
Is that fog?
It can't be.
Warren, is your contraption
working properly or not?
Yes, of course it's working!
But I don't know
that this is magic!
[alarm blaring]
How in the hell were we not able
to see them approaching earlier?
All members, prepare for battle!
They're coming from the sky!
Approximately
full-size aerial cruisers!
There's way too many of 'em!
Just one of those
suckers is big enough
to wipe out the whole guild!
[MAKAROV]
This is but a tiny fraction
of the empire's full forces.
No one ever said anything
about an aerial attack!
[laughs]
Listen up, 'cause I've travelled
halfway around the world
to do one thing!
And that's to pulverize all
of you into fairy dust!
Ring the bell
immediately! It's time!
They're coming from the west
with aerial cruisers!
They're here now!
Already?
I don't think I'm ready
for this fight, you guys!
Fire!
What?
Enchantment activated.
Ah.
They've conjured up some
kind of magic barrier.
I'll have to punch through it.
So what now?
Fried's spells are powerful,
but I'm not sure how long he
can hold back this onslaught.
You can't give up now, Fried!
I'll lend you some of my
magic power if you need it!
This attack is
absolutely nothing
like we were anticipating.
How do we fight back?
Stay calm.
I thought it unlikely,
but I had considered this.
At the moment,
what we're dealing with
is an advance squad,
and as luck would have it,
this is a much
smaller-scale attack
than I'd originally feared.
Uh...
Ahh...
Now! I need you to
relay this message:
"Start Strategy D! Flying
Dragons and Ospreys!
Commence the attack!"
Got it!
This is Osprey reporting
from the Eastern Woods.
Target is currently
too far out of range.
Why is Mommy calling
herself "Osprey"?
Beats me.
Bisca, I have complete
faith in you.
Yes, ma'am.
So how do ya like that?
[laughs]
A few more rounds
and that shield's gone!
[CREWMAN A] Ajeel, sir!
Something's coming up quickly!
Now what do we have here?
[CREWMAN B] That one's moving
towards us really fast!
[CREWMAN C]
Evasive maneuvers!
[CREWMAN D] Ship number
four has been destroyed!
The hell?
Say hi to the Flying
Dragon squad!
It's that guy again.
Now let's rock!
Right!
[CREWMAN E]
A tornado? Uh!
[AJEEL]
Blow 'em outta the sky!
[HAPPY]
Whoa!
[NATSU]
Nice moves, Happy!
Curses! There's too
much enemy fire!
Bisca needs to get sh**ting!
[BISCA] This is Osprey unit!
Magic power charged and ready!
Go, Mommy! I know
you can do it!
[ALZACK]
Asca! Get back!
It takes minutes
to charge a shot,
so I gotta make this one count.
You're good!
Don't worry, you've
got this, honey!
You know what an osprey is?
A bird that never
loses its prey.
Focused magic cannon Jupiter.
Fire!
Wasn't that Phantom Lord's?
When did we get it?
Don't know. Let's hope it works.
[AJEEL]
Nice try, ya losers!
He broke up the blast!
Maybe, but it looks like you
still took out a few ships!
[PANTHERLILY] He diffused a
shot from the Jupiter Cannon?
Guess we gotta
fight 'em up close.
I say we start with
the sandy bastard!
You guys really know
how to break stuff.
[ALL groan]
What the hell?!
Oh, no! We forgot
this is a vehicle!
What a huge oversight.
Hey, Wendy, time to
use your Troia spell!
I'm so sorry, you guys...
...but I can't use it if I'm
already feeling pukey, too.
That's no good.
This part completely
slipped my mind.
[NATSU, GAJEEL, WENDY groaning]
What are you guys gonna do,
throw up on my feet?
Works for me.
We've taken some hits tonight.
I want you to have some
of the ships land
while I deal with these idiots.
[CREWMAN A]
Yes, sir!
Are you really the same
cocky little fire wizard
I fought back in Alvarez?
Because you and
your queasy crew
look like a freakin' joke
on your home turf.
Whoa!
[NATSU, GAJEEL, WENDY screaming]
[CREWMAN F]
The bow has been sliced off!
Listen up!
Happy! Carla! Lily!
Help them out!
[HAPPY laughs]
[CREWMEN yelling]
Who do you think you are?
I'm the woman who'll
strike you down.
You'd better beg for mercy.
You're dealing with Titania.
Kneel before the Fairy Queen!
Thanks, Erza.
[CARLA] Several in their
fleet are landing.
We need to deal
with them at once!
You're right.
She's got a way better chance
fighting on a ship than we do.
Yes, she's more equipped
to handle the situation.
How am I ever gonna protect her
if she's always protecting me?
Defeating one of the
will be nearly impossible,
even for a warrior like Erza.
Yet I have faith
in her abilities.
If we can actually drive
back their vanguard,
it'll be a real shot
in the arm for morale!
[EVERGREEN]
What's the problem?
I thought your enchantment
was a perfect defense!
You should realize nothing
in this world is perfect.
He's doin' the best
he possibly can here,
but their firepower
is too brutal!
Thanks to our friends in the
Flying Dragon and Osprey squads,
the enemy forces have
been cut in half.
Gives me a better chance of
maintaining the enchantment.
Mommy, you gotta
hurry up and sh**t 'em
before they destroy the town!
She knows, sweetheart, but it
takes a while to get it ready.
[sighs]
I'm gonna blast that
sucker this time.
All right, men! Magnolia's
right in front of ya!
Go wipe it off the map for good!
[SOLDIERS yelling]
[SOLDIER A]
But, Captain!
How are we gonna get past
the enemy's enchantment?
No clue.
[SOLDIER A]
Huh?
[BAKEL laughs]
[KAREEM]
Not a problem.
We have someone to dispel it.
He's arrived, so the
barrier will fall shortly. line:%
To be honest, I feel this
overwhelming show of force line:%
is a tad bit excessive for
such a weak adversary. line:%
But still, I'm duty-bound
to execute the orders line:%
given by my commander.
[laughing]
[sneezes]
Ya know, you've done us a real
favor by landin' on the ground!
So thanks!
Take this!
[SOLDIERS scream]
[NATSU]
Fire Dragon Talon!
Ha!
[yells]
[chuckles]
[ERZA]
Heaven's Wheel: Circle Sword!
You think that lame
attack is gonna beat me?
[AJEEL]
Huh?
[ERZA]
Black Wing: Moon Flash!
[AJEEL] If you're one of the
strongest in your guild,
the rest of 'em must be pitiful!
This has to be a joke,
right? Come on!
No one mocks Fairy Tail!
You'll pay for that!
More sand?
Your weakness is
what's mocking it.
[grunting]
[ERZA]
What's happening?
[AJEEL]
You're decaying into dust.
[ERZA] My Requip magic
isn't working! But why?
[ERZA screams]
[gasps]
[EVERGREEN] Fried!
Is there something wrong?
There is. A hole's been
opened in the enchantment.
[ALL gasp]
It looks like there's some
kind of breach in the barrier.
And it's a big one!
Does that mean they have someone
who nullifies enchantments?
This will prove to be
an easy victory, indeed.
[MAN A]
Impressive work, Wall, sir.
[MAN B]
We'll be done here in no time!
They'll learn the strength
of the Alvarez Empire.
One last lesson before dying.
I sense more magic power.
Could another member
of the have arrived?
The enemy has entered Magnolia!
Hold them back at all costs!
They broke through
Fried's barrier?
They're near the
girls' dormitory!
[WARREN] Someone needs
to head to the breach
in the enchantment!
Crap. Who's closest?
Uhh, let me see.
Elfman! Lisanna! Mirajane!
Get there, quickly!
I need to go and back them up.
[LUCY] Aquarius, please.
Lend me your strength.
[bang]
[gasps]
[LUCY]
What was that sound?
Something's in here.
[splashing]
[LUCY]
Is it coming from the bathroom?
Looks like I was
right after all.
I knew this was your place.
[MARIN]
Gets an A-plus from me!
[LUCY]
What in the world?
I knew the Spriggan
were coming to Ishgar,
but I wasn't expecting one
of them in my bathtub!
I don't know why,
but you have been
running through my mind
ever since we met.
[alarm blaring]
[WARREN gasps]
More bad news!
Now there's another member
of the in Magnolia!
Another one?
Three of those
monsters in one group?
How are we gonna fight
back against that?
[WARREN]
No! This can't be happening!
[DROY]
Uh-oh. What is it now?
[WARREN] A massive force
of over ships
is coming in from the north!
And judging from the
magic power signature,
it has another three of the !
[gasps]
[WARREN]
But it's worse than that!
There's an identical group
coming from the south as well!
And this one has
another three of them!
They're making an
approach on three sides?
[WARREN]
No.
There's also a million soldiers
that are marching from the east,
with three more of the .
We're completely surrounded.
The enemy has left us
with nowhere to run.
[gasps]
How are they coming
from the east?
They musta cut through
Bosco to pull that off!
It's like they're throwing
everything they have
at us all at once!
This is the worst thing
that could happen!
[MAVIS]
No matter how I calculate it...
...we have no chance of winning.
[LUCY] Fairy Tail is surrounded
by the enemy on all sides
as the Spriggan
enter Magnolia.
Brandish is especially close,
and seems personally intrigued,
until a certain name
sours the mood.
Meanwhile, out in
the western skies,
Erza struggles in the fight
against Ajeel, the Desert King.
His deadly sandstorm
envelops her,
threatening to grind her down
into whirling grains herself.
Next Time: "Morning Star."
Our perseverance
will be our light
that pierces through
the darkness.

[AJEEL]
Nice try, ya losers!
He broke up the blast!
Maybe, but it looks like you
still took out a few ships!
[PANTHERLILY] He diffused a
shot from the Jupiter Cannon?
Guess we gotta
fight 'em up close.
I say we start with
the sandy bastard!
You guys really know
how to break stuff.
[ALL groan]
What the hell?!
Oh, no! We forgot
this is a vehicle!
What a huge oversight.
Hey, Wendy, time to
use your Troia spell!
I'm so sorry, you guys...
...but I can't use it if I'm
already feeling pukey, too.
That's no good.
This part completely
slipped my mind.
[NATSU, GAJEEL, WENDY groaning]
What are you guys gonna do,
throw up on my feet?
Works for me.
We've taken some hits tonight.
I want you to have some
of the ships land
while I deal with these idiots.
[CREWMAN A]
Yes, sir!
Are you really the same
cocky little fire wizard
I fought back in Alvarez?
Because you and
your queasy crew
look like a freakin' joke
on your home turf.
Whoa!
[NATSU, GAJEEL, WENDY screaming]
[CREWMAN F]
The bow has been sliced off!
Listen up!
Happy! Carla! Lily!
Help them out!
[HAPPY laughs]
[CREWMEN yelling]
Who do you think you are?
I'm the woman who'll
strike you down.
You'd better beg for mercy.
You're dealing with Titania.
Kneel before the Fairy Queen!
Thanks, Erza.
[CARLA] Several in their
fleet are landing.
We need to deal
with them at once!
You're right.
She's got a way better chance
fighting on a ship than we do.
Yes, she's more equipped
to handle the situation.
How am I ever gonna protect her
if she's always protecting me?
Defeating one of the
will be nearly impossible,
even for a warrior like Erza.
Yet I have faith
in her abilities.
If we can actually drive
back their vanguard,
it'll be a real shot
in the arm for morale!
[EVERGREEN]
What's the problem?
I thought your enchantment
was a perfect defense!
You should realize nothing
in this world is perfect.
He's doin' the best
he possibly can here,
but their firepower
is too brutal!
Thanks to our friends in the
Flying Dragon and Osprey squads,
the enemy forces have
been cut in half.
Gives me a better chance of
maintaining the enchantment.
Mommy, you gotta
hurry up and sh**t 'em
before they destroy the town!
She knows, sweetheart, but it
takes a while to get it ready.
[sighs]
I'm gonna blast that
sucker this time.
All right, men! Magnolia's
right in front of ya!
Go wipe it off the map for good!
[SOLDIERS yelling]
[SOLDIER A]
But, Captain!
How are we gonna get past
the enemy's enchantment?
No clue.
[SOLDIER A]
Huh?
[BAKEL laughs]
[KAREEM]
Not a problem.
We have someone to dispel it.
He's arrived, so the
barrier will fall shortly. line:%
To be honest, I feel this
overwhelming show of force line:%
is a tad bit excessive for
such a weak adversary. line:%
But still, I'm duty-bound
to execute the orders line:%
given by my commander.
[laughing]
[sneezes]
Ya know, you've done us a real
favor by landin' on the ground!
So thanks!
Take this!
[SOLDIERS scream]
[NATSU]
Fire Dragon Talon!
Ha!
[yells]
[chuckles]
[ERZA]
Heaven's Wheel: Circle Sword!
You think that lame
attack is gonna beat me?
[AJEEL]
Huh?
[ERZA]
Black Wing: Moon Flash!
[AJEEL] If you're one of the
strongest in your guild,
the rest of 'em must be pitiful!
This has to be a joke,
right? Come on!
No one mocks Fairy Tail!
You'll pay for that!
More sand?
Your weakness is
what's mocking it.
[grunting]
[ERZA]
What's happening?
[AJEEL]
You're decaying into dust.
[ERZA] My Requip magic
isn't working! But why?
[ERZA screams]
[gasps]
[EVERGREEN] Fried!
Is there something wrong?
There is. A hole's been
opened in the enchantment.
[ALL gasp]
It looks like there's some
kind of breach in the barrier.
And it's a big one!
Does that mean they have someone
who nullifies enchantments?
This will prove to be
an easy victory, indeed.
[MAN A]
Impressive work, Wall, sir.
[MAN B]
We'll be done here in no time!
They'll learn the strength
of the Alvarez Empire.
One last lesson before dying.
I sense more magic power.
Could another member
of the have arrived?
The enemy has entered Magnolia!
Hold them back at all costs!
They broke through
Fried's barrier?
They're near the
girls' dormitory!
[WARREN] Someone needs
to head to the breach
in the enchantment!
Crap. Who's closest?
Uhh, let me see.
Elfman! Lisanna! Mirajane!
Get there, quickly!
I need to go and back them up.
[LUCY] Aquarius, please.
Lend me your strength.
[bang]
[gasps]
[LUCY]
What was that sound?
Something's in here.
[splashing]
[LUCY]
Is it coming from the bathroom?
Looks like I was
right after all.
I knew this was your place.
[MARIN]
Gets an A-plus from me!
[LUCY]
What in the world?
I knew the Spriggan
were coming to Ishgar,
but I wasn't expecting one
of them in my bathtub!
I don't know why,
but you have been
running through my mind
ever since we met.
[alarm blaring]
[WARREN gasps]
More bad news!
Now there's another member
of the in Magnolia!
Another one?
Three of those
monsters in one group?
How are we gonna fight
back against that?
[WARREN]
No! This can't be happening!
[DROY]
Uh-oh. What is it now?
[WARREN] A massive force
of over ships
is coming in from the north!
And judging from the
magic power signature,
it has another three of the !
[gasps]
[WARREN]
But it's worse than that!
There's an identical group
coming from the south as well!
And this one has
another three of them!
They're making an
approach on three sides?
[WARREN]
No.
There's also a million soldiers
that are marching from the east,
with three more of the .
We're completely surrounded.
The enemy has left us
with nowhere to run.
[gasps]
How are they coming
from the east?
They musta cut through
Bosco to pull that off!
It's like they're throwing
everything they have
at us all at once!
This is the worst thing
that could happen!
[MAVIS]
No matter how I calculate it...
...we have no chance of winning.
[LUCY] Fairy Tail is surrounded
by the enemy on all sides
as the Spriggan
enter Magnolia.
Brandish is especially close,
and seems personally intrigued,
until a certain name
sours the mood.
Meanwhile, out in
the western skies,
Erza struggles in the fight
against Ajeel, the Desert King.
His deadly sandstorm
envelops her,
threatening to grind her down
into whirling grains herself.
Next Time: "Morning Star."
Our perseverance
will be our light
that pierces through
the darkness.
