[insert text: Love and hatred intertwined! Their surging fates meet; the moment of judgement has arrived!!]
Gérard: Seven minutes left. / In seven minutes' time, Aetherion will strike this place. // Let us enjoy those seven minutes, Erza.
Erza: Right now, there is nothing that I fear. // Even if Aetherion does fall upon me, I will be satisfied as long as I take you with me.

Gérard: Here I come!!!

Erza: You've just built this huge tower and now you're smashing it up? I just don't know what to say.
Gérard: It's just a pillar or two... nothing more than decorations.
Erza: SHOU AND THE OTHERS WORKED EIGHT HARD LONG YEARS, BELIEVING IN YOU, TO MAKE THOSE "DECORATIONS"!!!!
Gérard: Oh, don't play your little wordgames with me. // What's important here is the R-System. // That's what those eight years were for.

6
Gérard: And now it is finally complete!!!! // !!!

7
Gérard: Guahhh! // (You're telling me... // ...this is that same Erza?!!)

8
Gérard: Ugh...
Erza: What are you really after here? // You haven't really completed the R-System at all, have you?
Gérard: !!!
Erza: Don't think I've been doing nothing for those eight years. / I've done my research on R-System. // Sure, you've constructed the building itself perfectly, in accordance with the blueprints from back then. / But you're still missing one basic thing to actually complete R-System.
Gérard: I already told you... the sacrifice will be you...
Erza: I mean something much more basic than that. // The thing you're lacking here is... / Magic.

9
Erza: To activate a magical spell of this scale... / ...requires a total of two billion, seven hundred million Ideas of sheer magical power. // We're talking the kind of magic you might not even be able to achieve by gathering all the mages on the continent. // It is utterly impossible for a single human to gather up all of that magic and store it in this tower.
Gérard: .........
Erza: And that's not the only thing. You are perfectly aware of the Council's intents to destroy this place, yet you make not the slightest move to run. // What exactly are you planning?
[TN: So lessee. How much magic energy does Aetherion contain? Who's betting it's somewhere in the vicinity of two billion, seven hundred million Ideas?]

Gérard: Three minutes until Aetherion falls...
Erza: GÉRARD!!! YOUR DREAM IS OVER!!! IT WAS OVER A LONG TIME AGO!!!! // DO YOU REALLY JUST WANT TO DIE, RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW?!!!!
Gérard: Nnn... // ...gh...
Erza: IF SO, THEN DIE HERE WITH ME!!!! // I'LL HOLD YOU DOWN RIGHT HERE UNTIL THAT FINAL MOMENT ARRIVES!!!!
Gérard: Y... / Yeah... // That doesn't sound too bad......

11
Gérard: My body was possessed by the ghost of Zeref. / There was nothing that I could do... // I was nothing more than a doll, working to bring about Zeref's resurrection.
Erza: Possessed?
Gérard: In the end, I couldn't save myself...... / My nakama couldn't, either... there was nobody who could save me... // Paradise... Freedom... // In the end, they were nowhere to be found... // It was all over before it had ever even begun...

12
Councillors: The final phase of the Aetherion firing sequence is complete. // Expand the Satellite Square!!! // Thus we pray. // Thus we pray. // Thus we pray.
Sieglein: Thus we pray...

13
Worly: W - Whoa, whoa, are they seriously going to fire the Aetherion?!!
Miriana: Myaa!
Happy: Natsu... Erza... // You've gotta get out of there...

14
Sieglein: I knew I could never really complete the R-System... // But... Zeref's ghost just wouldn't allow me to stop. // I... can't stop this any more. // I'm just a broken-down engine. // Erza... // You win this fight... // So please, kill me. // That's what you came here for, right?

15
Erza: There's no need for me to even lift a finger... this rumbling... / The Satellite Square must already be expanding in the sky above the tower. // It's over. // For you... / ...and for me.
Gérard: You little screw-up, you...
Erza: You were just another sacrifice for Zeref, too, weren't you.

16
Gérard: This is my sin, for giving in to my own weakness. // My heart just couldn't keep up with the gigantic gap between dreams and reality.
Erza: But don't you think that burying your weaknesses, the things you lack, deep away... // ...is what nakama are there for?
Gérard: Erza...
Erza: I have to atone, as well... for the sin of being unable to save you.
Gérard: Oh, no... // You saved me.

17
Councillors: THUS WE PRAY TO THE SACRED LIGHT!!!! // AETHERION: RELEASE!!!!
