The dragons saved us.
I didn't have the courage.
The courage to use Lumen Histoire...
That's fine.
That means it wasn't yet time...
Grandine...
Everyone's courage and Igneel repulsed Acnologia.
Dragons are our allies... I got such a feeling of superiority right now!
Yeah, right?
But I heard there were thousands of those Faces...
The dragons destroyed all of them?
Incredible!
You did well destroying one of them.
That's because Carla was with me.
This is Metallicana?
Gajeel...
As always, you've got that nasty look in your eye.
Shut up!
Tartaros Arc Epilogue: That's the Power to Live
Weisslogia...
I killed you...
And I saw you die before my eyes too, Skiadrum.
Human memories can be falsified in any number of ways.
Although Igneel was against it...
At the time, we intended to give you Dragon Slayers
the memory and achievement of slaying a dragon.
That being said, saying we died isn't too far from the truth.
We are already dead.
Long ago,
Acnologia's Dragon Slayer Magic
ripped out our souls.
So inside your bodies were objectives.
"Protecting against turning into a dragon," "defeating Acnologia,"
and extending our own lives.
What?!
Once we left your bodies, we became unable to return there.
Today we showed you our power for the first and last time.
And we want you to understand why we couldn't show ourselves until now.
Not even Igneel could defeat Acnologia.
But...
...even Igneel only had the last of his power left before dying.
Humans,
please do not allow the majesty of the Fire Dragon King to be tarnished.
There is no dragon braver,
nor one who loved humans more, than Igneel.
Dad...
You promised me...
You said you wouldn't go anywhere.
Don't go back on your word!
I...
I've looked for you all these years.
I finally learned how to write.
I learned how to use magic more, too.
I've made lots of friends.
And I'm working, too.
I...
I wanna talk to you more!
Igneel!
We have not told you everything that should be said,
but the time has come.
The time to part ways.
No...
I am sure you will encounter many more hardships in the days to come,
but I have confidence that all of you will get through them.
Don't go, Grandine!
Don't leave me!
Let's see them off with our heads held high.
Humans,
memories of war and hating one another are things of the far past.
On this day, we were able to work together hand in hand.
The Age of Dragons has reached an ending of sorts.
From here on out, human power shall create the future.
400 years ago,
the Magna Carta, a pact between humans and dragons, was formed,
and in accordance with that...
...we dragons will continue to watch over humanity!
For eternity...
Grandine!
I love you, Wendy!
You've got that nasty look in your eye.
Those are your last words?!
Dammit...
Thank you, Weisslogia.
Skiadrum...
Igneel...
Don't cry, Natsu.
Come on. What do you do in times of sadness?
I told you that, remember?
I know.
Then try it. Get on your feet.
I'll always be with you.
Even now,
from now on, all the way down the line.
Show me more of how you've grown,
of the way you live...
Okay. I'm gonna keep livin'!
I'm gonna get stronger!
I'm gonna beat Acnologia!
That's right. Speak of the future.
That is the power to live.
One week later...
The battle with Tartaros
left us with many scars.
The town of Magnolia and our guild
were in ruins.
No. That's not all.
It seems other towns also suffered a lot of damage from the emergence of Face.
And our souls are scarred, too.
Master, can't we rebuild the guild this time?
After everybody in town rebuilt it for us last time...
It's like... again?!
I'm so sorry. I'm ashamed to look at any of you in the eye.
It's not your fault, Elf-nii-chan.
It's nobody's fault.
It may have been the end of an age.
Sheesh. There's only so much recklessness a body can take.
Porlyusica-san told me something.
That it'd be a miracle for him just to come back alive...
He will wake up, won't he?
Of course!
I...
...didn't know what was going on.
I couldn't do anything.
All I did was suffer.
Meanwhile, Laxus put his life on the line...
I don't even deserve to live!
Idiot. There's no need to brood like that.
She's right. We couldn't do anything.
But if you can't even understand that, you might as well die.
Hey!
I'm sorry, Laxus!
Whoa, whoa, wait!
I was only kidding!
You're such a jerk!
Thank the gods! Laxus is awake!
Laxus!
I...
You made us worry about you.
I heard what happened.
You went to challenge Tempester with that battered body.
Without even our support...
In the first place...
Hold on.
Be happy, for cryin' out loud.
Pathetic.
What's wrong?!
I can't go on like this.
At this rate...
...I can't protect what's important to me.
My hair is back to normal!
It was nothing-ebi!
Thank you, Lucy-san!
Long hair suits you more, Wendy.
Why don't you grow your hair out a little longer, Lucy-ebi?
I don't know...
I'm sure it would look good on you!
Leave it to me-ebi!
How is Wendy doing?
Same as always.
I see.
Even after everything that happened...
You're putting up a bold front!
How about Gajeel?
As you can see...
Gajeel, this isn't the guild.
You shouldn't sleep here...
Come on...
They all went through a painful parting.
I'm worried about Natsu, too.
Nah, I'm sure he's fine.
Since he's got Happy with him.
Happy, how much do we have saved up?
130,000 jewel.
That ain't much.
There would've been a lot more if our safe hadn't been stolen.
Like ten years' worth of fish...
Well, we'll get by somehow.
This is the real problem.
U-Um... Gray-sama...
Juvia...
Did you follow me here?
I'm sorry!
I'm sorry.
There's something Juvia has to tell you.
Juvia is the one who defeated the necromancer
that controlled your father.
It was you?
Juvia...
...no longer has the right to love Gray-sama!
Juvia killed...
...your father!
It was you...
Thank you...
I'm sorry... I'm so sorry...
Gray-sama...
I'm sorry!
You're warm.
I had a nasty flashback.
I'm still trembling...
I was tricked, betrayed,
shamed...
After all that...
...will I be able to trust people?
I know you'll be fine.
You'll be fine.
You know a person's strengths and weaknesses very well.
Go forward.
Keep going forward, on the path of light.
We walk the path of darkness.
In order to defeat Zeref...
These robes are lame.
Don't complain!
But our paths may intersect at some point.
Look at him, tryin' to act cool.
Later on, teach me how to do that!
It's love... yes?!
If that happens,
I want you to shine so brightly that it obliterates us.
Go forth,
Erza.
I've stopped trembling.
Sting and Rogue, you're back?!
Lector and Frosch, too!
And... Minerva-sama!
Welcome home.
I... I... I'm home...
Our lady is home!
Welcome home, my lady!
I'm home!
Our lady is crying!
Will wonders never cease?
That's kind of rude!
I did as you said.
I wiped the memories of that info from everyone who was told about it.
Yeah, I know.
I've gotta erase my own memory of it, right?
I'd rather not fiddle with my own memories.
That's okay. You're a man who can be counted on.
That's enough. You're relieved of "duty."
Hey...
What the hell are you doin'?!
Wh-What is this?!
You marked me with Fairy Tail's insignia?!
You were already a member of Fairy Tail.
You erased your own memory
to infiltrate the Council.
I told you you were that kind of man.
A man who would even sacrifice himself
to protect the guild.
Wh-Wait a second! What does this mean?!
I'm a member of Fairy Tail?!
I erased my own memory so I could join the Council?!
Then what about Tenroujima?!
This is ridiculous!
This is why I said you shouldn't erase your own memories...
It's a pain in the neck.
Are you serious?
It doesn't matter.
It's all over now.
Over?
The brats have chosen to set out on their own path.
This is the end of an era.
I'm disbanding Fairy Tail.
I sense someone here.
Must be Natsu and Happy!
You went into my room without permission again!
Uh... Huh?
A letter?
The handwriting is terrible!
Wh-Wh-What is this?!
Happy and I are goin' on a journey to train ourselves.
We'll be back in about a year, so pass it on to everybody else.
See you, Lucy.
What are they thinking, going on a trip without telling me beforehand?!
If they do that...
...I'll be lonely!
Idiots!
I swear I'll bring down END.
Right!
Spread your wings, brats!
Sorry, everyone.
I'll come home after I get a lot stronger.
To protect everyone...
Try to surpass me, Natsu.
That is... Etherious...
...Natsu... Dragneel.
After Fairy Tail's epic battle with Tartaros,
Makarov suddenly sprung his order of dissolution on us.
As one era ends,
the secret origin of the guild's founding will now be revealed.
It was 100 years ago,
and is a tale of a barefoot girl
who protected hope and her friends.
Next time: Fairy in the Heart.
Fairy in the Heart
Go past the end to arrive at the beginning.
