Previously, on Fairy Tail!
Lyon, intent on reviving Deliora, sent his henchmen to attack the village!
-But I beat them up! -You did?
Lucy is fighting the formidable Sherry,
but is having a tough time without me there!
She said that's part of love, too!
That's not a recap at all...
Forced Gate Closure. I'd expect no less from Fairy Tail.
The real fight's just beginning!
But try not to forget
that I can control all your celestial spirits
and have them do my bidding.
Are you so sure?
I have plenty more powerful spirits up my sleeve!
Open, Gate of the Little Dog! Nicola!
How adorable!
That's love, as well.
What does that last part even mean?
Allow me to teach you.
Marionette Attack: Puppet!
Plue?
No, don't tell me...
"Just Do Whatever!"
What?
You fell for it!
Oh no! A feeble celestial spirit?
That's right!
I purposely summoned a weak spirit to make your technique useless!
Manipulation off!
No, it's okay! You can go now!
Marionette Attack: Rock Doll!
This'll only end up a game of cat-and-mouse!
I use my spirit to destroy that, you take control of it,
then I close its gate--
That's too funny! Is that a part of love, too?
So, cat-and-mouse it is. Let's see you break this rock.
Hold on!
I don't know if I have a celestial spirit who can break this huge rock!
This is not good!
Do not let her get away, Rock Doll! Go after that child!
Who are you calling a child? I'm about the same age as you!
Keep wasting your time talking and we'll catch up to you!
Which celestial spirit could help?
We'll catch up to you if you don't watch where you're going!
Okay! Make her go splat!
Hold on! This is...
a cliff!
Go after her, Rock Doll!
That way is a dead-end.
The sea?
I could summon Aquarius from here!
There's nowhere to run to now!
Water can't destroy rock...
Plus Aquarius would make sure I'm caught in the collateral damage.
Collateral damage?
All right! Time to go splat!
This is a part of love, too!
Collateral damage! That's it!
Open, Gate of the Water Bearer!
Aquarius!
Aquarius? You have celestial spirits that powerful too?
She's the enemy!
You hate people like her, right? Get her!
Your personality is as bad as ever! Just do it already!
And you're as annoying as ever.
That's why you can't find a boyfriend.
Leave me alone!
Marionette Attack: Puppet!
Now Aquarius will do whatever I say. Just hurry and send her back.
Nope! This is my trump card!
Then let the power of the sea smash you into pieces!
Aquarius. Get rid of that girl.
You don't have to tell me! I was going to do it anyway!
What a fool she is--
Wait!
Who needs Forced Gate Closure?
I can close it on my own. Moron.
Aquarius throws giant waves at everyone,
whether they're friend or enemy...
That was careless of me.
But it looks like she couldn't defeat the Rock Doll.
So? Puppets only work when there's someone to control them.
I didn't need to defeat the Rock Doll!
I just need to get you feeling woozy.
This is how Fairy Tail wizards do things!
-I can't believe you forced a draw! -What do you mean "draw"? I won!
Nonsense! You're all woozy, too!
In that case, how about this?
I've lost?
Me?
What do you think now? I'm a member of Fairy Tail too, you know!
Even if the light of my life should go out
my love for you is genuine, Cold Emperor.
You're not going to die! Quit exaggerating!
Angelica...
Avenge me.
What? She wasn't a puppet?
I can't move my legs!
Oh, no!
Erza!
Ma'am.
Oh, right!
We're here because we broke the guild's rules
and took an S-Class quest.
Lucy. I take it you know why I'm here.
To take us back, right?
Right?
Lucy!
What a relief!
Are you all right--
Where's Natsu?
Wait, hear me out!
I apologize for coming without permission,
but something bad is happening on this island!
Some guys are trying to revive a frozen demon
and the villagers are suffering because of their magic!
Basically, things are bad!
We want to save this island somehow...
I'm not interested.
Then at least let us finish the job!
You're mistaken, Lucy.
You betrayed our master.
You will pay the price...
GALUNA ISLAND
Where am I?
Thank goodness! You're awake!
Where are we?
A storage area a short distance from the village.
The village was destroyed last night, so everyone took refuge here.
The village was destroyed?
Go eradicate the village.
-Yes, Sir! -Understood!
Damn that Lyon. He actually went and did it?
But it's a blessed relief that no one was hurt, thanks to Natsu and Lucy.
Are they here, too?
Yes. I was asked to tell you to go to the tent once you woke up.
I see.
They're waiting in that big tent there.
It's about time, Gray.
Erza?
Lucy! Happy!
Lucy's filled me in on most of the situation.
Weren't you supposed to stop Natsu's group?
I'm shocked beyond words.
Where's Natsu?
That's what I'd like to know.
He was fighting the Cold Emperor's henchmen
at the village.
But when we went to look, no one was there.
Knowing Natsu, I'm sure he's fine.
After that, Erza told me to take her to you.
I searched from the air.
That's when I found people gathering at this storage area.
Gray. We're going out to search for Natsu.
We return to the guild the moment we find him.
What are you talking about, Erza?
If she filled you in,
then you know what's happening on the island as we speak!
So?
Crap. I overslept. I'd just come up with a great idea, too.
All right! Time to get started!
I'm here to bring back those who broke the guild's rules.
I've no interest in anything else.
Haven't you seen what the people on this island look like?
I have.
And you just want to ignore it?
The job request has been posted at all the guilds.
Wouldn't it be more logical to leave this job to guild wizards
who have officially accepted the task?
I thought you were better than this, Erza!
What did you say?
How dare you speak that way to the great Erza!
"Great"?
So you intend to break the guild's rules as well?
You will pay the price...
Do whatever you want!
This is the path I've chosen!
It's something I have to do!
I'm going to see this through to the end.
Strike me down if you want.
Wait, Erza. Calm down!
Gray's on edge because he lost to an old friend!
This state of affairs won't do.
We'll deal with this later, once we've taken care of everything.
-Erza! -Erza!
Don't get the wrong idea. You will be punished.
Yes.
Pathetic. You're the only one left, Toby?
Those Fairy Tail bastards are quite impressive.
Think you could keep my self-defeat on the down-low?
This state of affairs puts Deliora's revival in jeopardy.
I didn't see you there, Zalty.
Deliora shall revive tonight, completely infused with the moon's magic.
However, should the Moon Drip ceremony be interrupted,
Deliora will remain encased in ice.
Not only that, we're dealing with the Titania as well now.
I see you're as quickly-informed as ever.
That said, they cannot beat me.
I am the blade of ice that surpasses even Ur.
That is very reassuring, indeed.
In that case, perhaps I shall also join the battle for old times' sake.
Wait, you can fight too?
Yes. I dabble a bit in Lost Magic...
You're an eerie fellow.
An earthquake?
What is this?
The ruins are crumbling!
What is this?
He's already at it, I see.
Look below.
I usually destroy stuff without realizing it,
but trying to destroy it on purpose is actually pretty tough!
-What is the meaning of this? -I turned the building.
Now the moonlight won't shine on the demon below!
You...
How dare you.!
Curse you, Fairy Tail!
I'm lost. I have no idea what's going on.
It appears he has tilted this building.
By destroying half of the support pillars below,
he was able to tilt the ruins,
thereby preventing the moonlight from reaching Deliora.
I assume that was his strategy.
I guess he's sharper than he looks.
Enough of your blabbing!
Fire from his feet?
Yes! Fire comes out from everywhere!
What? A fake?
Ice-Make: Eagle!
You can't dodge them in the air!
Such ridiculous magic.
Fire Dragon Roar!
You were quite lucky, Cold Emperor.
Could we keep the fact that he got me on the down-low?
-What did you do? -Whatever do you mean?
Don't play dumb. It was your magic that caused the floor to crumble.
You could tell? You're truly impressive, Cold Emperor.
But please understand.
We cannot afford to lose you before Deliora is revived.
You're suggesting those measly flames could have beaten me?
Begone.
I will take care of him myself.
I am Cold Emperor Lyon, the only wizard capable of defeating Deliora.
Letting this brat give me trouble would tarnish my name.
Oh, my.
Defeat Deliora?
Defeat Deliora? That's his goal?
He's practically halfway defeated as it is!
You actually want to break him out of the ice and fight him?
You're messed up, that's for sure.
It is all to surpass Ur...
And to have the rest of my dream!
Then why don't you just fight Ur personally?
Haven't you heard? Ur is long dead!
Master Ur, the one who taught me magic, risked her life to seal it away.
You mean she died doing that?
That's right. It was Gray's fault, too!
I don't know what happened in the past.
But what you're trying to do now is causing trouble for a lot of people.
I'm going to bring you to your senses...
with a scorching-hot scolding!
Surpassing Ur has always been Lyon's one and only goal.
But now that she's gone, he's trying to surpass her
by defeating Deliora, the monster she couldn't defeat.
That would be the only way to surpass someone who's dead.
Yes.
No. Lyon doesn't know.
It's true that Ur vanished without a trace.
But...
Ur is...
still alive!
It was Gray's master who sealed Deliora away, right?
Yes! She must've taught Gray how to use Make magic too!
She must be one awesome wizard to teach magic to an idiot like him!
I wonder what Gray was like before he joined the guild.
Next episode, "Eternal Magic."
Gray before he joined Fairy Tail, right?
Aye! You'll also learn why he likes to strip down!
No, I'm not interested in that at all!
