Everything is frozen in Sun Village.
Members of Fairy Tail traveled there at the request of Warrod,
but soon found themselves under attack
by a hunter guild, Sylph Labyrinth, and a dark guild, Succubus Eye.
And Doriate's magic
turned Gray and Erza into childlike forms.
Is there any way for them to fight back?
How far am I supposed to run?!
You'd better wait a century...
...before picking a fight with wizards again!
Offensive Strengthening Arms!
Even if it's tied up, I can extend my hair!
What?! Like, I didn't know that!
You...
Wing Attack of the Sky Dragon!
Hair Shower, Zigzag!
Lucy Kick!
And Virgo Kick!
Goodbye!
We did it!
I like it. Erza, but a mere child.
You really are a child, aren't you?
I suppose it's about time I deliver the final blow.
End of the line, Titania.
I'm... a kid?!
It happens sometimes.
When I turn people into kids, they get flashbacks.
Poor guy...
Not that I give a rat's ass!
Demon! Deliora!
You're not going anywhere.
I'll tell you just one thing before I kill you.
There's a world out there you must never set foot in.
It's past the gates of Hell.
But you lowlifes are standing at the entrance right now.
Although I don't know why I bother saying that to a brat.
Gray...
Deliora is gone...
I know!
I know, but they killed my mom and dad...
They're gone.
Muster up courage.
If you don't defeat the enemy right in front of you, your comrades will be in danger.
Comrades?
Enemy right in front of me...
That's right.
I'm watching over you.
Ul...
...tear!
Cold!
Ice...
Demon...
Kid...
Moon Drip...
Too many things here bring back memories.
Pathetic... To let something like this make me forget myself...
But I'm all right now.
Did you do this to the village?
What if I said,
"That's right!"?
You used creepy Ice Magic like that...
I'll show you what real Ice Magic is!
Oh?
The Eternal Flame is over here!
We have to meet up with Natsu and the others soon!
I wonder where Erza-san and Gray-san are?
Hold on, everyone. I swear I'll bring you back to normal!
Hurry up and go somewhere else!
What the heck is that bird?
What in the world is happening in this village?
You used creepy Ice Magic like that...
I'll show you what real Ice Magic is!
What are you talking about?
Do you understand the situation you've been placed in?
The Law of Retrogression ain't magic that grants youth.
Strength, speed, endurance, magic power...
It reduces all that.
In other words, you're like a hunted rabbit.
So just give up...
What's this?!
You stepped back before, right?
So I created a scaffolding for you.
But you don't need it anymore.
Gray Versus Doriate
When did you...?
It's not like all my abilities decreased.
My operations room up here is sharper than ever.
By definition, Mold Magic turns what the mind imagines into a weapon.
Thanks to that, it seems my old state of mind is coming back, and I'm grateful for it.
That's a load of crap.
You're tellin' me your imagination materialized that magic just now?!
Where are you hiding?!
You fell for it again!
I created that surface layer.
Ow!
Son of a...
Ice Make Hammer!
It's little!
Like that'll do anything!
Oh, well. I'll turn that tiny tool into something else!
Ice Make...
No matter what you come up with, with your power right now, it won't even tickle...
...Shaved Ice!
That's cold!
That shaved ice looks pretty unappetizing!
But any ice wizard worth his salt wouldn't get the shivers from a little ice like that.
The jig's up.
You're not the one who froze this village.
You're not powerful enough to do it.
In fact, you only fight after weakening your opponents.
You're nothing but a punk!
I could kill you like this,
but first, I want to hear something.
Your strong warrior's voice, reduced to a pathetic cry.
Beg me to spare you.
Beg for mercy.
Maybe I'll change my mind.
Don't throw away your pride as a wizard.
That magic is for the sake of your friends and loved ones.
It's not too late.
Come out of the darkness, Minerva.
You dare lecture me in these circumstances?
Lo, hoset! Udane Seth Iragd!
My body... is back!
Doriate was beaten?!
Well, that's fine. I like you better this way, Erza.
Your Nakagami Armor...
I have a countermeasure against that, as well. I am going to win here.
But first,
do something about your clothing!
You, too!
When did you...?!
Ih Ralgas!
Actually, I didn't mean to.
When I grabbed you before, I just...
Ow!
What's this? I'm suddenly back to normal!
What the hell is goin' on?
I have my real body back.
What's with him? Did his spell break when he lost control of himself?
Dumbass!
A demon?!
Is it magic like Mirajane's Satan Soul?
No... It feels like...
Oh no... It can't be...
A demon from the Books of Zeref...
A human...?
No. That can't be.
What is this thing?!
So powerful! I'd better take it down fast...
I'm a kid again?!
What the hell is going on?!
Oh?
It seems Doriate wasn't defeated, after all.
Y-You...
Me, too?!
He's out of control?!
Hey! What is this?
We're suddenly little...
Is it someone's magic?
Blondie... You're cute.
You, too.
This isn't the time to trade compliments.
This, like, kills...
Happy! Carla!
I suddenly couldn't fly well.
You shrunk!
And Gray, what happened to you?!
That thing released magic on the whole village?!
What the heck is it?!
If I don't stop it, everyone will be in danger!
No effect!
Then I'll keep it from moving by freezing the ground at its feet!
Tch! No good?!
Gray!
What is this? Just one hit...
The Law of Retrogression ain't magic that grants youth.
Strength, speed, endurance, magic power...
It reduces all that.
And on top of that...
...his power is increasing! This is bad!
One more punch, and...
I can't dodge!
What are you gonna do? Think!
Is there anything in this ice-coated village that can turn the tables on him?
Ice?
Ow!
Like that'll do anything!
What is this? Something feels off!
Gray!
Sorry, Happy and Carla!
Even the two of us together don't have the strength to take you up and away!
I see. So that's what it is!
The ice produced from my child state didn't faze him,
but he got hurt when he crashed into the frozen grass.
Normally, his body weight would crush frozen grass into pieces.
But maybe the special magic in this frozen grass is what hurt him!
I don't know why, but the ice that covers this village is his weakness!
So if the magic in the ice here slams into him...
But...
...how?!
If I could manipulate the ice in this village, he never would've gotten this far!
No, wait! I can do it!
I may not be able to melt it, but I should be able to channel the magic...
The magic of the creepy ice...
The sight that brought back memories of Deliora...
I was just afraid of it!
I just didn't try!
I'll lend you my body!
Work through it!
Yay! He did it! He did it!
Gray, are you okay?
Yeah.
What did you do?
What the hell is this ice?
It's definitely creepy magic,
but it...
And I'm curious about his identity.
You fools opened it.
The gates of Hell...
There's no going back now.
And...
There it is!
I get big, I get little...
Maybe I should've taken that guy down, after all.
Natsu!
Thank goodness! We finally found you!
Sheesh. Don't run off on your own again like that.
Cherry Blossom Hair...
You!
It's all right. She's not the enemy.
Flare says she's from this village.
Huh... So are you a giant, too?
No.
She's a human who was raised by giants.
Huh...
W-What?
Then this village's situation...
...has gotta be hard on you.
In the name of our guild, I swear we'll return it to normal.
The Eternal Flame may be able to defrost the village.
Flare was taking us to it.
I see...
I think that voice I heard came from this mountain.
It's not a mountain.
It's the village's guardian deity, the Eternal Flame.
This is the Eternal Flame.
It ain't a mountain?
The giant flame froze. It only looks like a mountain.
Flames can freeze...?
I'd hoped the Eternal Flame could get the village back to normal...
...but even that flame is frozen.
Something's coming!
Gray!
Happy! Carla!
Run, you guys!
What is that?!
I dunno, but it wants to eat us!
It's the enemy!
Just beat it, Gray!
This is no time for me to be wastin' magic!
I may be able to melt this ice!
Really?
From Raven...? What's she doing here?!
Never mind that! You can melt this ice, right?!
Not for sure...
...but yeah! I'll do it!
All right! Then I'll take care of this bird!
This mountain is the Eternal Flame!
What?!
Melt it! Can you?!
All right!
I'm counting on you, Gray!
I'm counting on you, Natsu!
Fire and ice. Two kinds of magic roar.
Natsu is going after that ferocious bird monster with equal ferocity.
Gray is trying to use his own magic to melt the frozen Eternal Flame.
Natsu and Gray. Two souls in a united front.
They're doing it to save Sun Village and the giants.
And the shocking truth is about to be revealed.
Next time: The Voice of the Flame!
Natsu's flames bring about a miracle!
