Dammit!
Natsu! Control yourself!
You'll destroy the former chairman's house!
The former chairman is in league with Tartaros!
That's how Tartaros found out about Face and the former members' addresses!
I wonder if Erza and Mira were captured.
I'll definitely find 'em!
Don't underestimate a dragon's nose!
He wrecked my house!
Okay, okay, calm down, former Council chairman.
I even blew my own pension for the sake of this plan!
Still, imagine the amount of riches you'll get after it succeeds.
I suppose I can sacrifice my house
if it reinforces the scenario that I've been captured by Tartaros!
How are Erza and Mirajane?
When Kyoka-sama tortures someone, you can be sure they'll meet a miserable end.
Make sure you do kill them!
If they survive and go home, it's possible I'll be suspected of having a hand in this.
You can relax.
Since no one will ever find this place.
What is that?
It's coming!
Franmalth-kun! You said...
...no one would ever find this place!
I found it!
Natsu!
Where are you?! Natsu!
Erza-san! Mira-san!
Happy! Where are you?!
What the heck happened?
I don't see the former Council chairman around, either.
It looks like they were definitely attacked by Tartaros.
Wendy, can you find out where they went?
I'll try!
Natsu...
Where did you go?
Where are Erza and Mira?!
An intruder?!
Tartaros has an intruder?!
How much will it cost to repair this damage?!
Noisy...
Yakdoriga!
Watch the woman.
I'm going to see what's going on out there.
Don't you dare touch her.
I'm looking forward to torturing her more.
Tartaros Arc: Jellal vs. Oracion Seis
Give me back Erza and Mira!
Well, well. Then you're a friend of the human prisoners.
So you're with Fairy Tail?
Then they are here!
How did you know where we were?
Don't tell me you followed the former chairman?
How much will this blunder cost?!
Shut up already!
We'll go back to the guild first.
It seems they've worked out the addresses of several former Council members.
Gray-sama...
Juvia has a really bad feeling about this, for some reason.
Our opponents devastated a town.
I can understand how you'd be depressed...
That's not it.
It's something else.
I'm with you.
We're gonna win, like we always do. I swear it.
You hit me, huh?
How much is that sin going to cost?
1,000 of your souls!
He's stretchy!
Connection.
What is this?!
Losing... my strength...
Nice, Happy!
That hurt!
What did you do to Happy?!
Grip Strike...
...of the Fire Dragon!
Now it's gonna cost you 2,000 souls!
Even after Natsu hit him with those flames at point blank range...
What is he?!
Enough, Franmalth.
Let me handle this.
You take away the chairman.
Silver-sama...
Well, he's all yours.
I'll have the chairman do what needs to be done the second he wakes up.
Button your lips.
The temperature just dropped in here.
I-I'm cold, Natsu!
It was you, wasn't it?
You melted the ice at Sun Village.
Are you the one who froze the village?
I'm grateful for what you did!
I would've kept feeling guilty otherwise.
I froze the whole village based on a misunderstanding, it seems.
You...
You kind of smell like someone I know.
Gray...
Natsu!
Don't utter that filthy name.
It seems a cat escaped.
Did it slip in from Bosco?
No, it's with Fairy Tail.
Find it!
Just my imagination?
I have to tell everyone!
Natsu!
Wait for me!
Make yourself comfortable.
Bastard! Let me outta here!
Throwing me in a stinkin' cage!
I ain't no animal!
And my scarf! At least let me have that!
To us, humans are the same as livestock.
What does livestock need with a scarf?
Assholes!
Hey, where are Erza and Mira?!
Tell me!
Hey! Are you listenin' to me?!
Where are Erza and Mira?!
And gimme my scarf back!
Natsu's voice...
Huh? Natsu...
What are you doing here?
Lisanna!
So they caught you too, huh?
Yeah. Although I don't remember it...
I'm pretty sure Erza and Mira are here, too.
I gotta do something to get them out of here.
Erza and Mira-nee too?!
What should we do?
I think they captured Elf-nii-chan, too.
They're getting us one by one...
Our opponent, Tartaros...
They're totally different from what we've faced up to now.
No, they ain't!
'Cause we're gonna beat 'em! Starting with bustin' out of here!
Natsu...
But I can't use my magic.
'Cause of these handcuffs?
Probably.
I keep trying to do Take Over,
but it's no use.
It's hot in here...
Have you uncovered the identities of the three who are sealing away Face?
That's right.
I have to admit that the former chairman's Super Archive is incredible magic.
Then we won't have to
do any more wanton killing, yes?
Among the three, two of the "sealers" were our previous targets.
Who is the last one?
Jellal.
If we find and kill him, we can activate Face.
Face...
A magical pulse bomb, a dreadful doomsday weapon...
But we need it.
Yes, I know.
Does it look like we'll find Jellal-san?
That depends on Erza.
You are talented at getting people to talk, Kyoka-sama.
I could use my Curse, Macro, to order her,
but that wouldn't be any fun.
More importantly, I don't want any more interference from Fairy Tail.
You can leave that to me.
I have prepared a fitting tale for the end of Fairy Tail.
Come here, Seilah. I haven't shown you much affection in a while.
Kyoka-sama...
Jellal!
Get back, Meldy!
But I can't let you fight them on your own...
I have to do it!
I won't let you interfere with our freedom!
You or anyone!
The chains that bound us are gone!
Our path began inside the dark tower...
We thought Brain saved us,
but that was a false freedom.
It only split apart our families, cursed the world,
and released the sealed-away Zero.
Now, true freedom is finally before our eyes.
We...
I'll release you!
The freedom you have right now is still a lie!
And as long as you're in thrall to darkness, it will be eternal!
You'll break your bones before breaking through those bars.
Just watch me! I'll destroy this cage yet!
Even if we do escape from here,
it's meaningless unless we do something about these handcuffs.
We can figure that out
after we bust outta here!
Figure it out?
Sorry!
Knock it off. You're just wasting your strength.
It's hot enough as it is in here.
Really? I'm fine.
I'm not like you.
That's it...
Happy!
If Happy made a clean escape,
he'll tell everyone about our predicament!
But I don't really know where we are in the first place.
Their hideout, right?
But the location...
If they follow the scent, they should be able to find us.
I'm sorry. We went to the former Council chairman's house...
...but Erza, Mira-san, Natsu, and Happy were all gone.
The house had been destroyed.
My nose wasn't strong enough to trace their scent...
What's going on?
I hope they're all safe...
If we knew where Tartaros was, we could strike back...
Gajeel, can't you go to the chairman's house
and search by their scents?
If this brat couldn't do it, then I don't have a chance.
I'm sorry.
A person's scent doesn't stick around too long.
I'm worried about Elfman and Lisanna too, since they haven't checked in.
What about the guys who went to the other former Council members' houses?
Apparently, nothing's happening there.
Tartaros...
Isn't there anything we can do to get information on their headquarters?
Found it!
We found their headquarters!
Happy!
They caught Erza and Mira!
The former chairman is a traitor! They even got Natsu! I...
Calm down!
Aye.
Unbelievable.
The former chairman is a Tartaros turncoat?!
And they've got Erza and Mira?!
Dammit!
Also...
Don't utter that filthy name.
N...
Nothing.
They captured Natsu, too. I wanted to save him,
but on my own, I... I... I'm sorry...
Happy, now isn't the time for self-recrimination.
Tell us about their base.
Aye...
Their headquarters is constantly moving.
It's like a weird, cube-shaped island.
Moving?!
Then you don't know a precise position?
Happy, do you know the general location and direction it was heading?
I came from that direction... and it was moving that way...
That's right!
A guard said something about Bosco.
Bosco?
Then it's by the border!
I think I can figure something out! Leave it to me!
I'll calculate the enemy's path!
I promise I'll pinpoint their location.
That's our Levy!
Happy, as much as possible, try to accurately recall
the scenery you saw and the direction of the sun.
O-Okay.
Everyone else, prepare to move out!
I left Natsu behind...
No, you didn't.
You did your best to save everyone.
Right?
Aye...
Elfman!
You're all right?!
Huh? Where's Lisanna?
It's almost time to activate my trap.
"A fitting tale for the end of Fairy Tail"?
Yes.
The fairies will be destroyed from within.
Elfman, where's Lisanna?
We couldn't get in touch, so we were worried.
Lisanna...
...was captured.
Oh, no...
Even Lisanna?!
We were too late to help Sage Yuri, too.
Even though... Even though I was with her...
It's not your fault.
Right now, Levy is calculating the location of the enemy's base.
Lisanna-san will be okay.
We'll definitely save her.
Yeah...
Pathetic.
Your little sister is abducted, and you come home without even pursuing the enemy?
Cana-san!
I-I lost sight of them...
Lost sight of them?!
The enemy kidnapped Lisanna and you couldn't catch up to them in your beast form?!
That's enough, Cana!
I'm sorry...
I'm going to rest for a bit...
Everyone's on edge.
There was no call to talk to him like that!
If you don't obey my Macro,
I'll make you do the same thing again.
You have an easy job.
Go back to the guild
and install this lacrima.
W-What is it?
An ultra-concentrated Ether luminous sphere.
It's about 500 times more powerful than Jupiter.
It will vaporize the guild in an instant.
I can't do that...
You will do it.
Yes...
My Macro is absolute.
Yes.
In order to get Lisanna back...
...I'll destroy Fairy Tail!
Natsu, Erza, and Lisanna have been captured.
Seilah is controlling Elfman.
The former chairman and Franmalth are searching for Jellal.
And the fierce battle between Jellal and Oracion Seis continues in the wasteland.
The situation in every location changes by the moment,
until finally reaching one conclusion.
Next time: Tartaros Arc: The Place that Prayers Reach.
Tartaros Arc: The Place that Prayers Reach
The truth is reflected in those eyes.
