Hand-to-hand combat, then.
Very girly!
I order you.
It won't work.
Release my limiter!
She ordered herself?
What... is she?
So stupid... You mean to continue fighting when there's no chance of winning?
It's not over until it's over!
It may as well be over!
You see, Tartaros has many left...
So many cards left to play that you don't even know about!
Fairy Tail...
...and all humans... are finished.
Seilah-sama... Why... did you harm me, too?
Her control doesn't work anymore?!
How powerful is she?!
No matter how hard I fight, I don't stand a chance against her!
If I could just use Take Over on her, I would win...
It's no use. Your Take Over won't work on me.
Tartaros Arc: Alegria
I'm going to give myself an order.
Tear apart the enemy that's in front of you!
Mira-nee!
Stop it!
Watch as your big sister is slashed to ribbons!
By the way, are there any hot guys in your guild?
Lisanna... Elfman...
I...
Get out!
Get out of our village!
Host to a demon!
How long do you plan on staying in the village?!
Cursed family!
The village's troubles won't be over as long as you people are here!
Mira-nee! Are you okay?!
I'm sorry. This is my fault.
It's not your fault, Sis.
If I hadn't gone near that church, this wouldn't have happened...
Get out, demon!
Get out of our village!
Should we drag 'em out?
But she's possessed by a demon, so who knows what she'll do?!
Lisanna, don't!
Mira-nee got rid of the evil demon at church!
She defeated the demon for the sake of this village...
What you're doing is beyond cruel!
She was possessed by the demon while defeating it!
It's not Mira-nee's fault!
It's not her fault!
That's enough, Lisanna.
Don't cry, Elfman.
We can't stay in this village anymore.
It's so small...
Who cares about that place?
Let's go.
What's wrong?
Are you coming in?
I am Makarov, the master of this guild.
Guild?
Look. That's our name.
Fairy Tail...
That's Take Over, a kind of magic.
You're not possessed by a demon.
The power of a demon resides within you.
The power of a demon...
I don't need that.
I've heard about you, Mirajane.
Apparently, you're very talented.
How's it going? Are you used to the guild?
Hey!
Don't bother. She never talks or smiles.
She just looks dour all the time.
Even though her little brother and sister have blended right in.
Magic... Demon...
I don't need this power.
It's disgusting.
Get out!
Demon host!
Cursed family!
I'm not human anymore...
It's a good guild.
I know those two will be well taken care of.
But I'm going to leave this town.
Goodbye, Elfman, Lisanna.
I'm sorry.
Sis!
Mira-nee!
Look!
I bet you'll be surprised!
Now!
Animal Soul: Cat!
Beast Soul: Bear!
Only a claw!
They taught us.
It's magic, just like yours!
Although I can only change my hand so far...
You always look lonely, Mira-nee...
...so now you won't be, right?
You two...
We'll always be together!
And magic will be with us, too!
One-two...
Yo!
Huh? Huh?
It didn't work right!
Neither did mine!
Can you do work for the guild with magic like that?
Sis, you used your power to protect us,
and now we'll protect you.
Right!
I thought I didn't need this power...
...but if it's a power that can protect my dear family...
...I'll use it to become a demon or anything!
How many times do I have to tell you that Take Over doesn't work on me?
Mira-nee! You should escape for now! Get away!
If I can control even one part...
This is...
Get away from me!
What was that fleeting feeling of weakness?
Did she almost succeed with Take Over?
Me, an Etherios?
She's dangerous!
I'll eradicate her immediately!
Mira-nee!
I trust my own power.
I trust the power that can protect my family!
Demon Eyes, open!
No!
This clinches it!
Begone!
Your Macro can remotely control someone if they've already been under your power.
Right?
Is this the weakness I felt before?!
She's only taking over my ability?!
That's why I gave an order.
It's useless! Only I can give an order to myself!
I didn't give you an order.
Elfman...
Come to your family's side...
Elf-nii-chan!
It's over...
I'm gonna protect you, Sis!
Mard Geer, King of the Underworld.
The enemy is stronger than we projected.
The Face project failed,
while Ezel and Flanmalth have fallen.
Seilah and Hell's Core, as well.
What...?
Then we must awaken the master.
We can't do that.
We don't have enough Curse power to revive the master.
We can't bring him back unless we eradicate magic.
The Face project would've done that, but it failed.
You can't see it, can you?
You can't see the big picture, Kyoka.
That was merely a point.
A point?
No more than one point.
Mard Geer is a brilliant tactician.
Seen in the grand scheme of things, even the destruction of Face is just one point.
That's not a problem.
Soon, all the magic in the world will be gone.
I don't understand...
Kyoka, what are we?
Demons of the Books of Zeref. The Etherious.
What is our purpose?
To revive Master END and return to Zeref.
What are humans?
Lifeforms lower than insects.
Mard Geer-sama! What are you...?!
You captured a human and played with it.
That was to get information about Face...
You are too fond of humans.
I swear that isn't true...
You have displeased me.
I cannot stand the sight of a subordinate who plays with beings that are below insects.
Think of this as your punishment.
This is not for actually playing with the human.
It is the punishment for offending Mard Geer.
Very well. Thank you for teaching me a lesson.
Humans...
In the grand scheme, they pose no problem...
...but I do not like that they have befouled my garden.
I believe I will use Alegria.
The enemy was holding Gray back over there.
And I think Mira is somewhere on this floor, too.
Can everyone hear me?!
Warren?
This is a surprise!
I can hear you! Has something happened?!
Mira is safe. We met up with her.
Sorry I made you worry about me.
Elfman and Lisanna are here, too.
Thank goodness!
Hey, Warren, can you make it so everyone can hear my voice?
Yeah. Wait a second.
Go ahead.
Wendy and Carla stopped Face!
They shot down the enemy's plan!
So about what happens next...
Can Master hear me?
Happy? Wait a sec.
We met the soul of Master Hades.
What?!
The soul... What does that mean?!
He said that even though we stopped Face, those guys aren't done yet.
Hades told me to tell you to "release the light," Master!
The light?
Lumen Histoire?!
What did he mean?!
Don't yell!
I don't know, either!
Warren?
Hey!
Warren, what's wrong?!
Get a hold of yourself!
What is it?! Suddenly static...
Warren!
The wizards' guild, Fairy Tail, I believe?
Somebody's hijacked Warren's telepathy?!
Who are you, dirtbag?!
Mard Geer, King of the Underworld.
But you don't need to remember that.
Because there is no tomorrow for any of you.
Alegria.
What the...?! The ground!
We're in trouble! The gravitational field is gone!
I'm falling!
Hold on to something!
Take care of Laxus and the others!
What is this?!
S-Something is... pulling... my body...
The King of the Underworld has made his move?
The walls!
I feel sick!
What is this?! It's stuck to me!
Lucy!
Natsu!
Lucy...
What the hell is this?!
You're not getting away, Erza!
You...
Hold on to me!
Okay!
I'm sinking... into the ground...
Somebody... help...
Mard Geer-sama,
all of our guild soldiers will be caught up in this, too...
Invasion.
Sacrifices.
Damn you, Tartaros! Give me Erza back!
That's my prey!
D-Dammit!
Life and death,
hope and despair.
A foolish race.
This Cube is a giant prison.
Inside the body of Plutogrim...
A part of joy... Alegria...
What a trivial Curse.
Well, I'm sure we'll never meet again.
This magic...
Someone has escaped Alegria's clutches?
Ow!
What is this? What happened?
The odds are about a billion to one. What luck...
Or rather, bad luck, for someone to be left alone in the Underworld.
The Curse of the Underworld, Alegria,
has left Lucy alone inside of Plutogrim,
where she faces the relentless Nine Demon Gates.
She and the Celestial Spirits fight desperately,
but the situation goes from bad to worse.
When her back is against the wall, Lucy thinks of her comrades
and makes a decision.
Next time: Tartaros Arc: Attack of the Celestials.
Tartaros Arc: Attack of the Celestials
The light of the stars rips through despair.
