Shimon: (Gray Fullbuster......... He is far more powerful than the information I gathered suggested...)
Gray: *pant* / *pant* // *pant* / *pant*

3
Gray: Ugh... // Gotta... find Erza... // ...quickly... or else...
Shimon: (No... it looks like his feelings for Erza, his nakama, are fuelling his magic to greater heights...)
Happy: Natsu!! Get up!
Natsu: My eyes are spinning...
Shimon: (You sure found yourself a nice guild... // Erza...)

[box: Magic Council Headquarters: Era]
Someone: Target acquired. // Adjusting spatial coordinates. // The wavelength complications caused by the mountainous region are raising coordinate calibration issues. // Up the altitude a little more. // Magical charge at 60%. // Aetherion system integration complete.

5
Someone: Twenty-seven minutes remain until the firing of Aetherion.
Ogue: To think that we would be driven to a decision of this nature at a time like this, with the Council President in such bad health...
Michelo: There was no choice. // Whilst the President is absent, full responsibility for maintaining order in the magical world falls to the remaining nince Councillors. // You should not worry so, Ogue. / This may be an unannounced attack upon a foreign nation, / but situations such as this are provided for in Article 27, Clause 4 of the National Security Act.
Ogue: This is not about the petty legal implications... // We're talking about deploying Aetherion!

6
Michelo: That Zeref is the devil incarnate. // We can but pray that this Aetherion is enough to destroy him.
Urtear: The time is almost upon us... // Sieg-sama. // The feelings you have concealed for these eight years are finally going to be realised.

7
Sieglein: Are you not afraid, Urtear?
Urtear: Not even a little. // After all, I always trust in you completely, Sieg-sama.
Sieglein: Yes, I see... it's not your life that's in danger here.
Urtear: Indeed.
Sieglein: Personally, I find myself trembling a little. // If this fails... then I die.
Yajima: (If we fail... he dies?) // !!!
Sieglein: But this is worth putting my life on the line for.

8
Sieglein: After all... this is my dream.
[TN: Looking sliiiightly evil there, Sieg.]
Urtear: Quite.
Yajima: .........

9
Gérard: Twenty-five minutes left... // I guess I'll be saying goodbye to you, too... // Sieglein.

10
Shou: Gérard.........! // Shit... / Shit...!!!! // How dare you deceive us like this...?!
Erza: Shou!
Shou: Even hurting Nee-san.........
Erza: Shou, you have to calm down!!! // Let me out of here!!!
Shou: Don't worry, Nee-sah... I'll protect you, no matter what.
Erza: Shou!!!

11
Shou: !!

12
Ikaruga: I am called Ikaruga. // Greetings.
Shou: Move it. // Who the hell are you, anyway?!
Ikaruga: Oh, my... such a boorish young man.

13
Shou: I ain't wasting my time on trash like you!!!

14
Shou: No way...
Ikaruga: There exists nothing under the sun that I cannot slice.
Shou: ?!!! // GUAHHH!!! // Whaa... // ...aghh...

15
Shou: Wh... when did you...
Ikaruga: !
Erza: Shou!!!
Shou: Nee-san...
Ikaruga: Oh, my... You were hiding away in a place like that? // Erza-han.
Erza: You have to let me out of here right away!!! // She's not an opponent you can beat!!!
Shou: Don't worry... that card has protection on it... // Nobody on the outside should be able to hurt you at all...

16
Ikaruga: Oh...?
Erza: Shou!!! Let me OUT!!!! // That woman's sword... it isn't normal!!!!
Shou: Don't worry... she can't... // See...?

17
Shou: !!! // She cut inside the card... // ...cut into a completely separate dimension?!! // Nee-san!!!

18
Shou: Wha?!!

19
Erza: Thanks to you, there was a distortion in the fabric of space. // I sliced through that to make my escape.
Shou: (A sword that can surpass dimensional boundaries is pretty amazing... // But to be able to take advantage of that in a single instant... Nee-san really is incredible... // She's so magnificent I'm completely lost for words...)
Erza: I have no business with you. Leave.
Ikaruga: Hoho...
Erza: !!!

20
Erza: Aagh!
Ikaruga: That was by way of a greeting. // Oh? Don't tell me... you didn't see me move?
[insert text: This speed... absolutely peerless! // Against a sword she cannot see, even Erza's armour means nothing?!]
