[HISUI] If all this has
been for the king's sake,
then the spirits haven't
been acting for themselves.
What could he stand
to gain from this?
If he's sacrificing his own
subjects, then he's lost it.
Is the Celestial Spirit King
behind this, or not?
Ya know, I always wanted to go
toe to toe with ol' nose hairs,
but I didn't really have a
decent excuse until right now.
[laughs]
How can you defeat my king
when you're
about to fall to me?
[OPHIUCHUS] I am Ophiuchus,
the Snake Charmer.
Chosen guardian
of the Celestial Spirit King!
I am the thirteenth
spirit of the zodiac.
The deadly shadow of my liege!
Oh, I'm more than just human.
I'm a dragon slayer, got it?
[yelling]
With all eighty-eight
heavenly bodies...
Shining! Uranometria!
[OPHIUCHUS]
Shutting all those gates myself
would have been
quite the challenge.
Thank goodness I had you.
You've returned
all twelve zodiac members
to the Celestial
Spirit King's grasp!
The Celestial Globe
serves as a conduit.
It channels power from the
constellations of the zodiac
to my king.
The ritual we set out
to perform's sole purpose
is to grant him
the zodiac's strength.
It's called
the "Liberam Verus".
Becoming an Eclipse spirit
did endow the
Celestial Spirit King,
who was already the
strongest being in his world,
with power greater
than he had ever known,
but it also gave him
an appetite to match.
Fearful of his mighty hunger,
the zodiac spirits attempted
to flee the celestial world.
They strove to be free of him.
But their celestial bodies
pulled them back to the stars,
to resist was to suffer,
and to give in was to die.
The setup was perfect.
With the false hope
of the Liberam,
I set them and you to
work at granting my king
the power he craves.
The Celestial Spirit King
was that affected?
We thought we were
fighting to protect the spirits,
but we ended up putting them
right into harm's way.
To think we've
been banishing them
to the very place
that they were desperately
struggling to escape,
a world ruled by a
power-crazed monster.
How awful...
That isn't the
worst of it, either.
If this demented Celestial
Spirit King goes unchecked,
if his rampage
can't be stopped...
...then the
celestial spirit world
will collapse in on itself.
[OPHIUCHUS]
You don't learn, do you?
Poor fools!
The result will
always be the same!
[OPHIUCUS yelling]
[HAPPY] Celestial Spirit Beast!
Did we get it?
It stopped glowing!
The globe was destroyed.
That much is certain.
Looks like it's over.
[NATSU chuckles]
So she fades like the others?
Too bad, I was hoping
for Snake-Ke-Bobs.
[OPHIUCHUS]
I think I landed on my flute.
Is there a nurse in the house?
[HAPPY] Natsu, look!
All the zodiac constellations
are starting to disappear!
We rule,
snakes drool!
[NATSU] Talk about fireworks!
[LUCY] No kidding.
[ARCADIOS]
Princess. Are you unharmed?
[HISUI] Yes. I'm fine.
We did it! We saved them!
Now Loke and the other spirits
will go back to normal!
When has anything ever
turned out to be that simple?
[crashing noise]
[LUCY]
I tried using my zodiac keys,
but the spirits
still won't answer!
Evacuate!
Yo! What's the deal?
Did we stop the ritual?
Jeez.
It's about time you showed up.
I've been here from the start
and you know it, magma breath!
You're all okay!
Oh yeah!
So, Did the oversized
python turn tail or what?
Happy and I took care
of business, as usual.
Never turn your back
on the Cat-mander!
[PANTHERLILY] I don't see any
Zodiacs trying to k*ll us.
[GAJEEL] I'm guessing we should
take that as a good sign?
Yes!
We shut all of their gates,
so there's no need to worry.
Maybe...
There's still no sign
that we were able
to turn them back
to normal, though.
Hey, keep your chin up!
We'll figure
out how to help 'em.
That's right.
It'll be okay somehow!
Why don't we take
this opportunity
to compare
notes and make a plan?
And I can heal
everyone so we'll be ready!
Something tells me
we should relocate first!
[ALL gasp]
[ELFMAN] So loud!
[MIRAJANE]
Where's that coming from?
[LEVY]
It sounds like a monster!
Hey! Get it together!
Tell that to the ground!
We may have
overdone it earlier.
Yeah, no kidding.
Who thought this much
damage was a good idea?
Someone that never
learned how to pull her punches.
Is there something that
you'd like to say to my face?
--No ma'am!
--No ma'am!
[ELFMAN] Can we leave?
My ears are bleedin'!
[CANA] Does it look like
there's a way out, ya wimp?
[LUCY]
What if we used the keys?
Yes!
They should be
able to get us home.
I don't think
that's a monster roaring.
It's the Celestial Spirit King!
You're right,
I can feel his power!
And it's even more
intense than before!
The Liberam Verus
must have finished.
Didn't we destroy the globe?
We did.
[HOROLOGIUM] I'm afraid
you didn't stop it in time.
[ELFMAN]
That voice! It's the man clock!
[MIRAJANE] How did you
manage to get here?
[HOROLOGIUM] Help us, Lucy!
What's happened to you?
If you don't do something,
the celestial spirit world
will vanish forever!
Take these.
[LEVY]
Celestial garments! Nice!
[GAJEEL] If we're
gonna be in the spirit world,
we might as well
look like we belong there.
What insanity is this?
Don't worry.
I'll take care of
everything from here.
[YUKINO] Not alone, you won't.
Thanks, Yukino.
[HISUI] I'll go, too.
No, I can't let you do that!
In the Celestial world,
time flows considerably faster
than it does in our own!
[HISUI] I know.
Then you're also
aware that letting you go
would be a
dereliction of my oath!
Even if you do return,
there's no telling how many
years will have passed!
I'm willing to take that chance.
[ARCADIOS] Princess!
Quit sweatin' the small stuff.
You'll rust your armor!
We'll protect her.
[ARCADIOS] You hear that?
Of course I do,
that's why I have to go.
Please don't!
As long as that
howling fills the heavens,
I will have failed
in attaining my atonement.
Princess...
Now that that's settled,
can we get going?
Sure!
We're not getting any younger.
We're gettin' manlier!
Screw all the
wibbly-wobbly time crap.
Loke and the other spirits
need our help, big time.
We're goin' in.
End of story.
Lucy, you with me?
Yeah.
Just remember:
Even if we return to this world
a hundred years from now,
as long as we're
with our friends,
there's nothing to fear!
I'd be happy a hundred
years in either direction
as long as my love-sicle
is beside me.
We've already lost
seven years together,
so what's another
century or two?
I don't care what year it is,
just give me some iron to chew
and a world to rampage in.
Truth.
Lisanna will understand
why we're doing this.
Of course she will,
she's our sister!
Not to mention,
she's pretty manly herself!
I can never tell
if you're joking or not.
The Celestial Spirit King
will soon absorb
the Astral Spiritus.
This will be a bumpy ride.
But it will allow you to enter
the Celestial Spirit world.
Make sure you're wearing
the proper garments!
[ARCADIOS] Princess...
It isn't safe to travel
without your guardian nearby,
so I shall accompany you.
Thanks, Arcadios.
We'll save you soon!
Hold on!
Watch your back, Fuzz Face!
We're paying a visit! Real soon!
[laughing]
[HISUI] Is this it? It's barren.
[ERZA]
These winds could be a problem.
It's nothing like the
world we visited last time.
Why don't we ever go somewhere
that rains fish and
has a nice litter box?
[HOROLOGIUM] Lady Lucy!
--Time is flying by!
--[LUCY] Horologium!
--Time is flying by!
Looks like we found what
was making all that noise.
Great!
Now, what the hell is it?
Um, it's manly?
[LUCY] No way...
[HISUI] That's the
Celestial Spirit King?
[ARCADIOS] How disturbing.
[LUCY] What happened to him?
He doesn't look
anything like he did before.
[ERZA]
He's the Eclipse Spirit King.
Or the "Spirit Beast".
Either way, it spells trouble.
Check it out!
Around its head thing!
[HAPPY] There's no mustache!
[CARLA] That's not
what she's pointing at!
[GRAY] I see 'em!
The celestial spirits
are in those orbs!
[YUKINO] Oh, no!
[WENDY] Does this mean
they're being held c*ptive?
[NATSU] Loke!
[LUCY] Hold on!
We'll get you out
of there, I swear!
[PANTHERLILY]
The wind is gone!
[GAJEEL] Guess he's full.
He stopped pulling things in
after he swallowed
the Celestial Spirits.
No... They're gone?
[NATSU] Don't worry.
We can get them back
after we take him down.
[ERZA] Natsu's right.
This is no time
to be disheartened.
Let's go!
[ALL yelling]
Ice Impact!
Water Slicer!
[GRAY] It doesn't look
like he even noticed us.
[JUVIA] Then we'll hit harder!
[JUVIA, GRAY screaming]
Attacking in smaller
groups won't work!
We need to strike as one,
with a well-timed barrage!
[ELFMAN] Beast Soul!
[MIRAJANE] I'm ready.
Try some Card Magic!
--And a Solid Script b*llet!
--[CANA] Thunder!
--And a Solid Script b*llet!
Ice Cannon!
Water Whip!
[WENDY] Sky Dragon...
[GAJEEL] Iron Dragon...
[NATSU] Fire Dragon...
[WENDY, GAJEEL, NATSU]
...Roar!
[HAPPY]
You've gotta be kidding!
That didn't hurt him at all?
I think it's
about to counter-attack!
Stay on guard!
[yelling]
[LEVY] Oww!
Levy, are you all right?
[LEVY] Yeah. Thanks.
[GAJEEL] Careful.
I can't always save you.
All that from just one swing?
It looks like
everyone's okay, though.
[NATSU] Did we just die?
[HAPPY groaning]
[ERZA] Don't falter now!
Keep up the pressure!
[ALL] Right!
Come on.
He must have
some sort of weakness.
All we can do
is watch and hope
that one reveals itself.
And soon.
[GRAY] We can't let it get off
another swing like that!
Let's take out its arms!
[JUVIA]
Right! Let's go, my love!
[JUVIA gasps]
Juvia!
[JUVIA] Farewell, Gray.
[CARLA] I don't believe it.
She's a constellation!
That light changed her!
[GRAY] Juvia!
[HAPPY]
I don't wanna play anymore!
[yelling]
[LUCY] Oh no!
Is this what happened
to Loke and the others
when we closed their gates?
[NATSU]
He won't get away with this!
[WENDY] How do we
turn them back to normal?
By making
that celestial freak
feel the wrath of Fairy Tail!
Not much of a plan,
but it's our only option.
If we live long
enough to carry it out.
Lily!
[PANTHERLILY] Sorry...
I let my guard down.
[GAJEEL] Dammit!
Saved you.
[LUCY] Levy, no!
[GAJEEL] Idiot.
Why couldn't you
mind your own business?
Sky Dragon Roar!
[WENDY screams]
[NATSU] No way!
[HAPPY] Carla! Come back!
Man!
That stupid light makes it
impossible to get near him!
I have to avenge Carla!
Let's go!
[NATSU]
This is for our friends!
[HAPPY yelling]
[GRAY] Crap!
We can't catch a break here!
He's forcing us to
play nothing but defense.
[YUKINO screams]
[LUCY] Yukino!
[HISUI] Arcadios!
[ARCADIOS] Princess!
You have to find cover!
Don't worry about me!
[HAPPY] They're in trouble!
[NATSU]
Okay! We're coming, Pops!
[LUCY]
This can't be happening...
[NATSU] That's it.
I'm putting your
light show out of business!
[HAPPY]
You're in big trouble now!
[yelling]
[HAPPY] Whoa! What are you
planning to do, Natsu?
[NATSU] Ain't it obvious?
I'm gonna bash him with this!
Guess that's one strategy.
Are you crazy?
[NATSU yelling]
You have to ask?
Come on!
[ERZA] Calm down!
Don't let your anger
take control!
You'll end up stuck
in the sky like the others!
Only if he hits me,
and that won't happen!
[GRAY] Ice Make Cannon!
How are we supposed
to deal with this guy?
[GAJEEL] Iron Dragon Club!
What is he?
I can't tell if he's
made of flesh or thin air!
I don't care if
he's made of cotton candy!
Just thrash him!
[HAPPY] Aye, Sir!
[yelling]
[LUCY] He's got a point.
Standing around here
isn't going to solve anything.
If we're going to turn
the Zodiacs and our friends
back to normal, we have to
defeat the Spirit King.
No matter the cost!
That's it!
I've had enough of you!
Heads up!
Those black holes
are absorbing everything!
Don't let yourself
get pulled in!
[LUCY screams]
[NATSU] You don't
listen too good, do you?
[HAPPY] Let us
handle things up close!
[LUCY] No!
I refuse to do nothing
while my friends are trapped!
I can't argue with that.
Just don't do anything crazy!
[LUCY] Back 'atcha.
[NATSU] Fair enough.
Iron Dragon Sword!
You'll be sashimi
when I'm done with ya!
[GAJEEL]
That was close. Too close.
This thing's playin' for keeps.
[LUCY] Fall already!
[NATSU] Happy! Topside!
[HAPPY] Okay. If you're sure!
[NATSU] Of course.
So... what's your big plan?
Whaddya do to score a KO?
You aim for the face
and hit 'em hard!
[HAPPY] Aye, Sir!
It's time for
your wake-up call, pal!
Snap out of it!
[roaring]
[NATSU] Jeez, that's loud!
[ERZA] Now what is he doing?
[GRAY] Natsu!
[HAPPY] Hey...
I feel like I know this attack!
[NATSU] Me, too.
It's the same one
that blindsided us
when we were
fighting Loke earlier!
Make up your mind!
Either spit stuff up
or keep it down!
[LUCY] It's the
Eclipse Spirit King's roar!
Gray?
Thank me later!
Passing gas won't scare me off!
Iron Dragon Roar!
Well... crap.
He just wiped the floor with us.
[ERZA]
Such overwhelming power.
'Kay.
I'm officially runnin'
on fumes and a prayer.
[LUCY] Ow...
[LUCY] Everyone...
[LUCY] Natsu!
[NATSU] I smelled him.
[LUCY] Huh?
We're not finished.
Not while we can move.
If we can move,
we can stand.
[GAJEEL] And if we can stand,
we can keep fighting.
Fairy Tail never quits!
Never!
[NATSU]
I caught Loke's scent.
[HAPPY] Huh?
[NATSU] During his roar attack.
No doubt about it.
Loke and the others
are still alive inside him.
[HAPPY] So that means--
[NATSU] Let's go, Happy!
[HAPPY] Aye, Sir!
Natsu!
Is that moron blind?
He must have a plan!
[GAJEEL] He can't be serious.
[GRAY] That maniac!
No! He's crazy!
[ERZA chuckles]
He is that.
[HAPPY, NATSU] Max Speed!
Looks like he's planning to
shove himself down its throat.
We'll handle things out here!
Give that freak some
hardcore heartburn, Salamander!
Good luck, Natsu!
Let's give it all we've got!
We can still do this!
[ERZA, GAJEEL, GRAY]
Yeah!
[HAPPY] Whew!
We managed to get inside the
Celestial Spirit King's body!
[NATSU]
But what's with this place?
It's full of stars!
[HAPPY] Are you sure
Loke and the others
are being held hostage in here?
[NATSU] Yeah.
We may not see 'em,
but I can smell 'em!
And the nose always knows!
[HAPPY]
We have to save them, Natsu!
Everyone outside
is counting on us.
We can't let them
fight for nothing!
[NATSU] Don't worry, pal!
We'll bust the spirits out
and put an end to this
once and for all!
[HAPPY, NATSU]
Next time! Believe!
[NATSU] All right, Happy.
Let's purge this beast!
[HAPPY] Aye, Sir!
