Flashback!Torturers: W - Wait... Look, we're really sorry about all that... // I - I mean, we were only doing all that stuff because we were ordered to, we had no choice...! // We're the only ones left here from the Order... you guys have won! // C - Can't we settle this peacefully...? / Huh?
Flashback!Erza: Move.

3
Flashback!Torturers: Aaagh! // Guahh!
Flashback!Erza: !!

4
Flashback!Erza: Gérard!!! // It's okay now!!! It's all over!!! // We all fought back, just like you said!!! // Shimon was badly wounded... and Rob-ojiisan protected me... // ...and there were plenty more sacrifices, but...
Flashback!Gérard: ......

5
Flashback!Erza: But we beat them!!!! // Now we can all be free!!!! // Come on! Worly and the others have stolen their ship! / We can leave this island forever!!
Flashback!Gérard: E...rza...
Flashback!Erza: ?!

6
Flashback!Gérard: There'll be no more running.
Flashback!Erza: Huh? // Nnh...! // Géra...rd...?
Flashback!Gérard: True freedom lies right here.

7
Flashback!Worly: Hey!! Check this out!! // It's a movie crystal!!!
Flashback!Miriana: Myaa? "Movie crystal"?
Flashback!Worly: A crystal with a movie recorded on it! Can't believe they had a thing like this...
Flashback!Miriana: What's a "movie"?
Flashback!Worly: A story! It's like a play, put on by actors. // Well, I've never seen one either, though!

8
Flashback!Worly: Whoooa!
Flashback!Miriana: Mya~!!!
Flashback!Cowboy: Too bad, Tony Joe. // Your destiny came to an end... // ...the moment you met me.
Flashback!Worly: SO COOOL!!!!
[TN: I guess we know where he got his mannerisms now ~_~]
Flashback!Miriana: ...
Flashback!Shou: Nee-san's late...

Flashback!Erza: Gérard...? // What're you saying? We've gotta run away, together!
Flashback!Gérard: Erza... Freedom is not a thing that exists in this world.
Flashback!Erza: ?!
Flashback!Gérard: I came to realise this... // What we should truly strive for is no mere fleeting "freedom".

10
Flashback!Gérard: I seek true freedom... // ...Zeref's world!

11
Flashback!Gérard: I can understand how they felt too now, a little. They were trying to revive Zeref into the world. // But they were pitiful believers who could not even feel their master's presence. // Right...?!
Flashback!Torturer: Aahh!
Flashback!Gérard: I'll be taking this tower. // I will complete the R-System, and bring about Zeref's resurrection.
Flashback!Erza: Wh... What's wrong with you...? Gérard... // I don't understand what you're saying...
Flashback!Gérard: Heh.
Flashback!Erza: !!!
Flashback!Torturer: GUAAAAAHHHHHHH!!

12
Flashback!Gérard: Heheh...
Flashback!Torturer: Pl... please... stop... // GUAHH!!
Flashback!Erza: Magic...?
Flashback!Gérard: Heh...
Flashback!Torturers: AAAAGHHHH! // BUAAAGHHH!! // NGHAAAAHHH!
Flashback!Erza: Stop this!!! Gérard!!!
Flashback!Gérard: Stop? // Don't you hate these people, Erza?
Flashback!Erza: I... I do, but... still...!
Flashback!Gérard: Useless. // You'll never be able to feel Zeref's presence like that.

13
Flashback!Torturer: GUAAAAHHH!
Flashback!Erza: Ahh...
Flashback!Gérard: AHAHAHAHAH!!!!
Flashback!Erza: Gérard... Get a hold of yourself... I'm sure this is just because you've been tortured, and you're not -
Flashback!Gérard: There's nothing wrong with me. // Erza... Let us complete R-System... no, the "Tower of Paradise"... together! // And then we can resurrect Zeref!
Flashback!Erza: Stop talking such nonsense!!! // We're leaving this island, forever!!!

14
Flashback!Erza: Aaaahhhh!! // Ungh... // Aahhh... // Nghh...
Flashback!Gérard: Go ahead.
Flashback!Erza: !!
Flashback!Gérard: If you want to leave so much, then you go ahead and leave on your own.
Flashback!Erza: On my own?
Flashback!Gérard: I'll be taking all the others. // I need them, to help me construct the Tower of Paradise.

15
Flashback!Gérard: Oh, you don't have to worry... I'm not like them. // I'll give them all clothes, I'll give them food, I'll let them rest. / Controlling your workers through fear and through force is incredibly inefficient.
Flashback!Erza: What are you saying...? Everyone's on the ship already! They're waiting for us! // There's no way anyone's going to come back here and work any more!!!
Flashback!Gérard: They just got it all wrong. They never gave us a reason to work. // I'll give them that reason. They will work for the sake of the mighty mage, Zeref!
Flashback!Erza: Gérard...... // Please... open your eyes...! // Aahh! // It... // ...it hurts...

16
Flashback!Gérard: I don't need you any more. // But I'm not going to kill you. I appreciate what you've done, eliminating those nuisances for me. // You can leave the island. / You go and find your fleeting "freedom".
Flashback!Erza: Gé...rard...
Flashback!Gérard: I doubt I need to tell you that you must never speak of this to anyone. // If the government were to find out about the Tower of Paradise, the plan would be ruined. / If we were to be discovered, I would have to destroy the evidence... this tower, and everybody working on it. // And you must never return to this place. If you are ever sighted in the area, I'll start with the killing. // Let's see... yes, I think I'll kill Shou first.
Flashback!Erza: Gérar...d...

17
Flashback!Gérard: THAT is your precious "freedom"!!!! Live on, with the lives of your nakama resting on your back, Erza~~~~~~~~!!!! // AHAHAHAHAH!!!!!
