09x320 - Neo Eclipse
Posted: 04/30/23 18:13
Christina DX, heading out!
Yeah! All right!
Try to keep up,
you old fire-breather!
Captain, this way.
[ICHIYA]
Mhm.
My friends.
Everything will be explained
on the way to our destination.
[WOMAN]
Indeed.
That should give me ample
time to get you up to speed.
Right. But who might you be?
Hang on tight, guys!
Things are gonna get
a little bumpy!
[ERZA gasps]
Um. Please excuse me!
Yeah. No problem.
Wendy.
This ship was built
with Dragon Slayers
and their tendency for
motion sickness in mind.
Relax, calm yourself
and take a deep breath.
[ERZA]
How does she know Wendy?
[gasps]
[WOMAN]
See? You're just fine.
[gasps]
Perfect. Acnologia's
giving chase!
Let's have a little
fun with him.
Roger that!
Charging focused magic
cannon Jupiter!
Here we go!
High-speed rotation!
Target...
...is locked!
[JENNY]
Energy charge %!
And fire!
Oh, yeah! That's a bulls-eye!
He just ate it?
No way. Is he immune to magic?
How 'bout conventional weapons?
He still looks kinda hungry.
Maybe he can eat some lead!
[EVE]
as*ault Pegasus!
[ACNOLOGIA]
Do you really believe
you can get away from me?
You don't have a chance!
His speed's increasing.
No one outruns the
Heavenly Horses!
Magic boosters... ignite!
Excuse me!
No problem.
Wow. It's really you.
Leveling out our orientation!
So you remember me, Wendy.
[WENDY]
You're our teacher, Anna!
Her "teacher"?
[ANNA] What you may not
know is I'm an ancestor
of a close friend of yours.
The girl known as Lucy.
We are part of the same family.
I don't understand
what this means.
No matter who you may be
if you truly have a plan
to defeat Acnologia,
you must share it with us.
I know you're quite eager,
but be patient.
All things come in due time.
It's good to see you,
Wendy. You've grown.
Miss Anna, I'm still so
confused about everything.
[ANNA]
It's all right.
And I'm sorry about what
happened to Grandeeney
and the other dragons.
But if it's any comfort,
know their efforts, their
sacrifices, were not in vain.
[ANNA] I was the one
who years ago
taught Wendy, Natsu,
and the others
about language and civilization.
I also passed through the
Eclipse alongside them
to the current era.
[WENDY gasps]
[ANNA]
We came to the year
in pursuit of a
singular purpose:
Defeating Acnologia.
Y'okay?
Hey, Lucy. What's wrong?
This book.
How can this one book
possibly contain Natsu's life?
He's more than that.
Natsu's special.
But he's still a person like us.
So how?
[yelling]
[ZEREF]
Yes!
Give me more. Come on, E.N.D.!
That's it! k*ll me!
Try to destroy me!
Come destroy yourself!
What in the hell is
wrong with you, brother?
[ZEREF]
Now, E.N.D.!
My name is Natsu!
Man!
Four hundred years ago,
we had no way to
fight Acnologia.
Things were grim.
So the dragons created a plan
that would place their
hopes in the future.
They would enter Dragon
Slayers' bodies,
then travel forward in
time, into this era.
I know. Grandeeney
told us about that.
I'd heard that was
due to magic power,
because our current
period is rich in it.
That's true.
Magic power is quite prevalent.
It's proven to be a wise choice.
I opened the gateway,
but it was created by Zeref.
[JELLAL]
Zeref?
He studied time and
how to manipulate it.
However, despite his
extensive research,
he was never able
to make his dream
of traveling to
the past a reality.
Still, I believe he
thought salvation
could be found in the future.
We had a powerful wizard
connect us to this era.
Her name was Layla Heartfilia.
I opened the entrance,
and she the exit.
Lucy's mother was
involved in this?
I came along in order to explain
the whole situation to her.
I would accompany
the Dragon Slayers
and raise them until
they were ready.
You were supposed to
raise us together?
You were still children,
with so much left to learn.
But things did not
go as planned.
An unforeseen accident flung
you all through the gate
in different directions.
You, Natsu, Gajeel,
Sting, and Rogue.
It took me five years
of following leads
to track down all of you.
[ANNA]
And when I did,
I saw that you had all found
your own lives in this new era.
I decided that I should
wait to make contact,
and not further
disrupt the situation.
Things happen in due
time, after all.
While I was conducting
my search,
I happened upon an
extraordinary discovery.
I didn't know if it was a
result of what had gone wrong
during the opening
of the Eclipse,
or if it was merely
coincidental,
but something new had
come into existence.
[ANNA] I stayed in the
shadows all this time
so I could investigate and
properly prepare for it.
It possesses tremendous power.
A dangerous amount.
Perhaps... not a power;
it's more like a concept.
What is it exactly?
I mean, can you describe
it a bit more clearly?
I'd call it a rift in time.
[BOTH]
You found a rift in time?
Indeed.
We can trap Acnologia inside
that place of nothingness...
...forever.
A lunar eclipse?
Well, that's a rather
unsettling sight.
Look up at the sky, Mommy!
[CLOWN A]
Come to Ryuzetsu Land
amusement park's grand opening!
Wow! Pretty sh**ting stars!
Now that is odd.
Something is off about them.
sh**ting stars are supposed
to streak down, not up.
There's five! Look at 'em!
[ARCADIOS]
Princess, I believe we should
go and find His Majesty.
[HISUI]
Yeah, I wonder where he went!
The royal family has
watched over this gate
for many generations.
And now at long last,
somebody has arrived to open it.
[TOMA] Hold on, there appears to
be someone else coming through.
Who could it be?
Wait. Where am I?
The year. What year
is it currently?
[LAYLA]
Uh, right. It's the year .
Four hundred years. Huh.
That means it actually worked.
[gasps]
The children! I was
traveling with five children.
They should've come through!
[LAYLA]
Uh...
I'm not sure of what
I just saw exactly.
There were several lights.
They flew by at a
tremendous rate of speed
when the gate opened.
Look there. They shot
right through the ceiling.
It's amazing. The gate really
connected time after all.
Thank you for opening it.
I'm grateful.
[LAYLA]
"To the one of a grand era.
A time that is rich in magic.
At the instance of the sun
and moon crossing paths,
use the keys
to open the gate."
I was a bit skeptical,
but this book has been
passed down for generations,
by my mother and
many before her.
I know it quite well,
for I wrote it.
Wait a moment.
Will you please explain
what's going on here?
[ANNA]
To connect our time periods,
I needed someone from this
era to open the Eclipse gate.
I'm gonna write a
book about myself
traveling far into the future!
[DESCENDANT A]
I'll take that!
[DESCENDANT B]
I'll pass it on!
[DESCENDANT C]
What is this book?
What do they mean about
"connecting time"?
[DESCENDANT D]
I don't really understand this,
but I hafta pass it on
to the next generation.
The time's finally come!
I need to open the gate!
[ANNA] My descendants passed
this book of secrets on
for many generations,
until Layla opened the gate
for me to enter into this era.
You're telling me you came
from years ago?!
Indeed, that is true.
Sorry, but what's so
special about this era?
The book doesn't
say specifically.
[ANNA]
I can't say just yet,
but I promise I will
explain everything
when the time is right.
When you're ready.
But why were you the one
to finally open the
gate, Lady Layla?
Were you made aware
of something?
Or did you just know
magic is stronger now?
Honestly, I'm not
sure what it was.
It's not really a
quantifiable thing.
I felt that it was
the right time.
Plus, I considered my daughter
Lucy's role in this.
I didn't want to pass
this burden on to her.
It puts a great amount
of responsibility
on one's shoulders.
I want her to live a life
that's full of joy.
The time is now.
This ends with my generation.
If this era wasn't
rich in magic power,
the gate would not have opened.
So your judgment
proved to be correct.
I'm sorry the burden
weighed on you like that.
Your mother served well,
as did those before her.
I know it's a peculiar task.
I appreciate you all.
Of course.
[ANNA]
I was worried,
but mankind and
civilization still exist
years in the future.
Just knowing this
world is thriving
fills with me with happiness.
[ANNA] However, does this
mean everything I've done
was for nothing?
Did the world need me?
Because if it
turns out Acnologia
isn't a threat in
this era, then...
No matter what, I need
to keep moving forward.
I need to be sure.
I'll handle everything
from now on.
You can go and live a happy
life with your family.
Thank you.
But, Anna, can I ask what
you plan on doing first?
[ANNA]
All things come in due time.
But the first order of business
is to track down
the missing children.
I'm rather worried about them.
Once that's done, I'll return.
[LAYLA] Yes. I won't
tell a soul about this.
[ANNA] Your Majesty, I need
you to do one more thing.
You must destroy the gate.
[TOMA]
Uh. Of course.
[ANNA]
Sadly, before we had the chance
to see each other again,
Layla fell ill and passed
away not long after.
I'm so sorry.
[ANNA] The news of her death
was quite distressing.
It shook me to my core.
She was my descendant.
She was precious to me.
Her talent as a Celestial
Wizard was profound.
She had a family and a
bright future ahead of her,
but she willingly shortened
her life for my plan.
The time is upon us.
Is there anything else
you can share with us?
There is.
I felt... something unusual.
I noticed almost immediately
upon my arrival.
There's an abnormal type of
magic that flows in this era.
It has no basic elements, nor is
it made of light or darkness.
It's simply nothingness.
A magic of nothingness?
That's right.
A type of magic that
shouldn't exist in this era.
But still intriguing.
I had to investigate further.
When I did...
that's when I found it.
[ANNA]
The rift in time.
[gasps]
This is only a theory right now,
but I believe it is related
to the time travel.
We caused the natural
flow of time to warp,
just enough to expose it.
Perhaps it's the very concept
of time correcting,
or at least attempting to.
And that's giving rise to a
power beyond our comprehension.
But regardless...
...inside the time rift
is literal nothingness.
Nothing can live in it.
Everything simply ceases to be.
This would be true for
Acnologia as well.
[JELLAL] So your plan
is to lure him there
and trap him inside of it?
Yes.
Okay. But this is crazy.
I find it difficult to believe
that after all these years,
no one else has found this rift.
That's because I have
kept it hidden.
Miss Anna, are you
positive that this thing
is really a rift in time?
[ANNA]
The Eclipse opened long ago,
during the Grand Magic Games.
The hole had a rather intense
reaction to that disturbance.
This further confirmed
my suspicions.
A hole?
[ANNA]
Yes.
It's normally invisible
to the eye,
but it's roughly the
size of this orange.
If you happen to it
touch it, you're done for.
There's no escape from it.
The plan is astoundingly simple!
[ERZA gasps]
Now if you please, Hibiki.
Sure!
[ICHIYA] We'll travel
around the time rift,
and then wait for Acnologia.
He will likely pursue us
in a straight line,
at which point he will
come into contact with it.
And then, he'll go poof, man!
Gone forever!
[WENDY gasps]
Are you certain
it'll be that easy?
It's the only option we have.
You gonna be all right, Lucy?
[LUCY]
Mh-hm.
Yeah, I will be. Sorry.
Promise me something.
Please don't talk about
destroying the book anymore.
'Course I won't. I promise.
I didn't know it was, like,
"Natsu" before.
Lucy, have you... uh...
...tried opening the book?
[gasps]
I think... I might get what
First Master said before.
When she was giving
the book to you.
At that point, Natsu's
only hope is all of you.
The strength of your bond.
I'm more worried about
that thing with Zeref.
[LUCY]
Huh?
[ZEREF] My ultimate ambition
is to achieve something
far more significant than that.
[LUCY]
Did he tell you something?
Nah.
[GRAY]
Zeref isn't gonna get his wish,
not if Natsu has anything
to do with it.
Crack it open.
You can't be done.
Not yet, at least.
You disappoint me!
I was positive the
only one alive
who could destroy me was you!
[screams]
It'll be okay. I can go
back to who I once was.
After I've harnessed
Mavis's power,
then I'll return to my old self.
I call it the Neo Eclipse.
[ZEREF] I won't travel
forward or backward in time.
I'm going to start
over entirely.
Time itself will be reset.
To a moment before I got
this curse of immortality.
No way.
That's your goal? To go back?
That's what you want?
This way no one will be hurt.
You have a chance
to be human again.
We'll k*ll Acnologia together.
I can create the happiest
ending imaginable!
Not for everybody!
What about us?! What'll
happen to my friends?!
I don't know.
The fact of the matter is,
I no longer have any real
connection to this world.
It's not up to you!
We're still here
'cause we've risked everything
we have to survive!
There are two keys that
can open the Neo Eclipse.
Dear Mavis is one of them.
She will be joining
us very shortly.
[growls]
[ZEREF] And the other key...
is the rift in time.
[LUCY]
Acnologia spreads despair
and leaves destruction
in his wake.
Onboard the Christina,
Erza and the others
speed toward the rift in time,
hoping to neutralize
the black dragon.
Meanwhile, back in Magnolia,
Natsu's cherished friends
prepare to open
the Book of E.N.D.
With his plan to reset
time moving forward,
Zeref smiles in anticipation.
Next Time: "Blind to Love."
Long-held feelings are trapped
by the pure darkness.
Yeah! All right!
Try to keep up,
you old fire-breather!
Captain, this way.
[ICHIYA]
Mhm.
My friends.
Everything will be explained
on the way to our destination.
[WOMAN]
Indeed.
That should give me ample
time to get you up to speed.

Charging focused magic
cannon Jupiter!
Here we go!
High-speed rotation!
Target...
...is locked!
[JENNY]
Energy charge %!
And fire!
Oh, yeah! That's a bulls-eye!
He just ate it?
No way. Is he immune to magic?
How 'bout conventional weapons?
He still looks kinda hungry.
Maybe he can eat some lead!
[EVE]
as*ault Pegasus!
[ACNOLOGIA]
Do you really believe
you can get away from me?
You don't have a chance!
His speed's increasing.
No one outruns the
Heavenly Horses!
Magic boosters... ignite!
Excuse me!

that after all these years,
no one else has found this rift.
That's because I have
kept it hidden.
Miss Anna, are you
positive that this thing
is really a rift in time?
[ANNA]
The Eclipse opened long ago,
during the Grand Magic Games.
The hole had a rather intense
reaction to that disturbance.
This further confirmed
my suspicions.
A hole?
[ANNA]
Yes.
It's normally invisible
to the eye,
but it's roughly the
size of this orange.
If you happen to it
touch it, you're done for.
There's no escape from it.
The plan is astoundingly simple!
[ERZA gasps]
Now if you please, Hibiki.
Sure!
[ICHIYA] We'll travel
around the time rift,
and then wait for Acnologia.
He will likely pursue us
in a straight line,
at which point he will
come into contact with it.
And then, he'll go poof, man!
Gone forever!
[WENDY gasps]
Are you certain
it'll be that easy?
It's the only option we have.
You gonna be all right, Lucy?
[LUCY]
Mh-hm.
Yeah, I will be. Sorry.
Promise me something.
Please don't talk about
destroying the book anymore.
'Course I won't. I promise.
I didn't know it was, like,
"Natsu" before.
Lucy, have you... uh...
...tried opening the book?
[gasps]
I think... I might get what
First Master said before.
When she was giving
the book to you.
At that point, Natsu's
only hope is all of you.
The strength of your bond.
I'm more worried about
that thing with Zeref.
[LUCY]
Huh?
[ZEREF] My ultimate ambition
is to achieve something
far more significant than that.
[LUCY]
Did he tell you something?
Nah.
[GRAY]
Zeref isn't gonna get his wish,
not if Natsu has anything
to do with it.
Crack it open.
You can't be done.
Not yet, at least.
You disappoint me!
I was positive the
only one alive
who could destroy me was you!
[screams]
It'll be okay. I can go
back to who I once was.
After I've harnessed
Mavis's power,
then I'll return to my old self.
I call it the Neo Eclipse.
[ZEREF] I won't travel
forward or backward in time.
I'm going to start
over entirely.
Time itself will be reset.
To a moment before I got
this curse of immortality.
No way.
That's your goal? To go back?
That's what you want?
This way no one will be hurt.
You have a chance
to be human again.
We'll k*ll Acnologia together.
I can create the happiest
ending imaginable!
Not for everybody!
What about us?! What'll
happen to my friends?!
I don't know.
The fact of the matter is,
I no longer have any real
connection to this world.
It's not up to you!
We're still here
'cause we've risked everything
we have to survive!
There are two keys that
can open the Neo Eclipse.
Dear Mavis is one of them.
She will be joining
us very shortly.
[growls]
[ZEREF] And the other key...
is the rift in time.
[LUCY]
Acnologia spreads despair
and leaves destruction
in his wake.
Onboard the Christina,
Erza and the others
speed toward the rift in time,
hoping to neutralize
the black dragon.
Meanwhile, back in Magnolia,
Natsu's cherished friends
prepare to open
the Book of E.N.D.
With his plan to reset
time moving forward,
Zeref smiles in anticipation.
Next Time: "Blind to Love."
Long-held feelings are trapped
by the pure darkness.
