She didn't know that she closed the portal.
The hell with the portal! I would never have done that! But still, you...
That's now. But you'll close the portal several hours from now.
I'm not gonna close the damn portal!
You talk all this nonsense! What are you after?!
The portal will be closed. It's already decided.
As long as you're alive...
The future me said she wouldn't close it.
I believe myself!
There is no truth in your words!
Everything is dictated by destiny!
I'll burn your destiny to ash!
I won't let anyone steal Lucy's future!
Protect the future...
I promise I will!
Lucy, get outta here.
But...
Let's leave this to Natsu.
You're being targeted! You've gotta get away from him!
R-Right!
You're not getting away!
Natsu Dragneel!
I figured you would stand in my way.
But since you're fated to be killed by a dragon in the future anyway...
...killing you myself shouldn't have an impact on history.
Is this how you've always been?
Time changes a person.
Die here, Natsu Dragneel!
You stole somethin' dear to me right before my eyes.
I got no faith in the way you do things.
I'll protect the future with the way we do things!
Natsu versus Rogue!
Yukino!
Where are you?! Yukino!
Mirajane-sama...
What are you doing here?
I'm sorry. I...
Come on. Let's go.
I can't.
If you're with me,
you'll be struck with misfortune.
It's always been that way with me.
Bad things always happen to the people around me.
None of the people around me blame anyone else when bad things happen to them.
But...
It's okay.
Everyone's life has meaning.
Your life has meaning.
To prepare for the dragons' attack, I shall enter the Eclipse Cannon firing sequence.
Unlock!
The portal will open at last...
I'll bear witness to the will of the princess to the very end.
Is there news of the dragons' advance?
There are no sightings from the western observation posts!
All is clear in the east as well!
What of the citizens' evacuation?
The soldiers are guiding them in an orderly manner.
Hurry! Leave the city!
Quickly! This is an emergency!
What is this, in the middle of the night?!
Explain it to us!
I was planning to drink until morning!
I pray we're able to destroy all of them with one strike.
It will take a matter of years to replenish this much magic power.
We've stumbled across something big.
It looks like the portal is opening.
Huh? Loke isn't here.
That's because magic doesn't work near the portal.
When Rogue came from the future...
Someone interfered with the opening of the portal.
Because of that person, the portal wasn't opened.
The Eclipse Cannon that was pointed at the 10,000 dragons couldn't fire.
Someone led the world to destruction.
There's no need to hide.
Come out.
We didn't do anything wrong!
If Arcadios is with the minister, then...
Various circumstances have changed.
Fairy Tail...
You have my deepest apologies.
Owing to our current emergency situation, I'll give you a formal apology at a later date.
She's the princess, Carla.
Yes.
Also, congratulations on winning the Grand Magic Games.
We won?!
They did it!
I knew they could!
Why are you opening the portal? The dragons aren't here yet!
They know about the dragons...
Yes. They're aware of the situation.
Come to think of it, where's the you that came from the future?
She was murdered.
By another man who came from the future.
That man said something.
He said the Eclipse Cannon didn't fire because I interfered with the portal opening.
That's why he tried to kill you?
Are you going to interfere with the opening of the portal?
Of course I'm not!
I'm just wondering why you're opening the portal when the dragons aren't here.
That's simple.
It takes time before it can fire.
We wouldn't have time if we waited for the dragons to appear.
Will that really be able to defeat the dragons? All of them?
I can't say that with any certainty,
but I'm sure his Majesty is also taking measures to prepare for a worst-case scenario.
This is the city of Crocus.
At its center is the Li In Crystal.
And this man is the king of Fiore, Toma E. Fiore.
And so,
I'm terribly sorry we don't have time to bask in the afterglow of the Grand Magic Games,
but I've just heard that this country is facing a critical moment.
10,000 dragons?!
Even though we were no match for just one of them, Acnologia...
And even if that was a special case...
...10,000 of them...
Right now, a large-scale strategy is underway at the palace.
The Eclipse Project.
Eclipse?!
The objective of this strategy is to eradicate all 10,000 dragons.
Eradicate? Can you really do that?
I couldn't really say...
As the enemy is a swarm, I'm sure several of them,
maybe even several hundred of them, will survive.
Yes, that's more realistic.
Wizard guilds, I must request that you please lend us your aid.
I would like you to use your power to slay the dragons that survive.
That is all. Please save this country!
Naturally!
Leave it to us!
Yeah!
We won't let any monsters do us in!
Right!
This country, which goes hand in hand with magic...
...is our country!
Our comrades have been captured by the royal armed forces.
They're safe. We just got a report that they joined up with the princess.
All right! I'll go on a rampage one more time!
The opponents are dragons.
Therefore, it's time for us Dragon Slayers to step into the spotlight.
Good luck, Sting-kun!
Fro will cheer you on, too!
Where is our lady?
I dunno.
All of the guilds' wills are one.
What a lovely parfum.
Dragons versus Pegasus, huh? It'd be perfect for a painting.
Let's do our best.
Crap. Guess we have to.
Kagura-chan, you need to rest!
No. Everyone must fight.
Wild Four!
We're the Sexy Four.
Fighting alongside you brings back memories.
Don't hold me back.
Is Wendy okay?
I think so.
A battle, eh?
I'll spin, too! Violently!
Thank you... Thank you...
King...
Thank you... Thank you...
...kabo...
"Kabo"?
The parfum of that last bit...
Everyone, I'm counting on you!
This is unbelievable.
All of the wizards coming together...
Eclipse? Its very existence violates 30 laws.
I think we'd better contact Council headquarters about this.
Lahar and Doranbolt...
Jellal!
What are you doing here?
I have a favor to ask.
Did you really come to save the future?
'Cause you sure as hell smell evil!
The portal... is opening!
July 7th...
That's the day the dragons disappeared, right?
Are the dragons gonna appear on this day?
Fairy Tail will defend this central plaza!
What about the guys from the other guilds?
They're all standing by throughout the city.
Erza, with those injuries, you need to sit this one out.
This is nothing.
I can more or less move again thanks to Lyon, this healing girl, and the royal healer.
Although if Wendy were here too, we'd be healed a little more.
At any rate, that's a creepy moon.
Eclipse... A lunar eclipse...
What's that sound?
The sound of Eclipse opening.
I'm surprised it opened with Lucy surviving!
But I'm sure she'll interfere!
The portal is destined to close!
Lucy's not gonna do that!
She'd never destroy everybody's future!
Move!
I'm off to kill Lucy!
You're not goin' anywhere!
Lightning Fire Dragon Mode!
So that's the power you hid seven years ago...
White Shadow Dragon Mode!
These are the twin attributes of light and dark.
Coarse Silk of the White Shadow Dragon!
White... Shadow...
It's the power I stole from Sting after killing him!
That being said, it's still a little while after this time period.
Did you always think...
...people's lives were worthless?!
That's right. And you're going to die here, too.
Coarse Silk...
...of the White Shadow Dragon...
Flash-forward!
He escaped!
Natsu! Wake up! Natsu!
Meldy, bring first-aid meds, quick!
Right!
Hey... What is this?!
Natsu!
This is bad! He's sinking into the shadows!
Look!
The portal for the hope of the human race is opening!
The portal of victory is opening!
That's incredible magic power, you know? My whiskers are wiggling.
Certainly, with this, we may have a chance of exterminating the dragons.
All this magic concentrated in one place...
The future can be saved with this, right?
Yeah.
And Lucy from the future can rest in peace.
Lucy-san...
No...
The portal mustn't be opened...
I need to close the portal now!
Natsu, where do you think the dragons will come from?
Happy, not where. The question is, how are we gonna beat 'em?
Natsu! That's not an answer.
Next time: In My Stead!
That's fine! After all, we're gonna kick their asses!
