**[00:10] ---**
What are you doing?!
**[00:12] ---**
I'm on my way!
**[00:15] ---**
A human entered the lava?
**[01:52] ---**
Quickly... Climb up!
**[01:54] ---**
Arcadios-sama!
**[01:55] ---**
Don't worry about me!
As long as you two survive...
**[01:59] ---**
Never mind! You too, hurry up!
**[02:02] ---**
L-Listen to me. If you
get out of here safely...
**[02:08] ---**
...meet the princess...
Princess Hisui. Understand?
**[02:13] ---**
Arcadios-sama! Take my hand!
**[02:14] ---**
Reach out! Come on! Grab my hand!
**[02:18] ---**
Lucy...
**[02:20] ---**
That Arcadios guy is sacrificing himself...
**[02:24] ---**
But I don't understand.
Then what was that prophecy?
**[02:30] ---**
You can decide whether
Eclipse is right or not...
**[02:35] ---**
No...
**[02:38] ---**
Arcadios-sama!!
**[02:44] ---**
Burning Ground!
**[02:51] ---**
No... Why...?
**[02:53] ---**
I bring bad luck to people after all...
**[02:57] ---**
Yukino...
**[02:59] ---**
Just made it!
**[03:02] ---**
But my body has just about had it.
**[03:09] ---**
Horologium! What are you doing here?!
**[03:12] ---**
Are you one of Lucy-sama's Celestial Spirits?
**[03:14] ---**
Yes, but with a big man inside
of me, I'm fit to burst.
**[03:19] ---**
It's because I can go
through the gate at will.
**[03:24] ---**
Your star is before you.
**[03:27] ---**
Loke!
**[03:28] ---**
Leo the Lion...
**[03:30] ---**
Is that a Celestial Spirit-tai?
**[03:34] ---**
Here are yours, too.
**[03:37] ---**
Thank you!
**[03:40] ---**
I'm sorry, Pisces and Libra.
**[03:45] ---**
Yay!
**[03:46] ---**
Now they can use Celestial
Spirit Magic, right?
**[03:49] ---**
Celestial Spirit Magic? Then those two are...
**[03:53] ---**
Celestial Spirit Wizards!
**[03:56] ---**
They have contracts with the Celestial Spirits
of the Celestial Spirit World.
**[03:59] ---**
They're wizards who fight with
those Celestial Spirits-tai!
**[04:03] ---**
Tai?
**[04:04] ---**
I caught his verbal tic!
**[04:06] ---**
Lucy.
**[04:07] ---**
Yeah!
**[04:09] ---**
The 12 Keys are gathered.
Time to fight back.
**[04:16] ---**
You're as light on your feet as
the weight of your sins is heavy.
**[04:21] ---**
You're still harpin' on that, but you'll
never hit me swingin' around like that.
**[04:26] ---**
You can run from your crimes, but you
can't shake them off. I'll show you.
**[04:33] ---**
You feign ignorance, but the sins you
committed are etched in your body as memories.
**[04:40] ---**
Wha...?! What is this? I don't feel a thing!
**[04:44] ---**
Do you have chest pain? It's proof of your
crimes. The guilty plea you can't cast off.
**[04:52] ---**
Then say I'm doin' a job and a
building happens to be destroyed,
**[04:55] ---**
or I storm into the Council's chambers.
**[04:57] ---**
Does that count as a sin?
**[04:59] ---**
No. That always happens.
**[05:01] ---**
Really?
**[05:03] ---**
Your sins are beyond redemption!
I will cut off that sinful head!
**[05:08] ---**
Executioner technique! Guillotine Justice!
**[05:13] ---**
What?!
**[05:17] ---**
You missed!
**[05:24] ---**
As I said, you can run from your
crimes, but you can't shake them off.
**[05:29] ---**
They'll chase the marks on you wherever
you go until the execution is carried out.
**[05:34] ---**
Reflect upon your sins and despair!
**[05:39] ---**
Th-There are various impossible
developments at work here-tai.
**[05:42] ---**
Thanks, Horologium!
**[05:45] ---**
I made it in the nick of time for now.
**[05:47] ---**
It's okay. He's breathing!
**[05:50] ---**
I'm surprised he's still alive.
**[05:52] ---**
Okay, let's go!
**[05:54] ---**
Here I come.
**[05:57] ---**
The early bird gets the worm!
Topography effect! Gravity zone!
**[06:01] ---**
Open! Gate of the Scales!
**[06:04] ---**
Libra!
**[06:05] ---**
I balance out the change in gravity!
**[06:11] ---**
Balanced out!
**[06:12] ---**
All right!
**[06:13] ---**
Suddenly, we've got the edge!
**[06:15] ---**
Darn you-tai!
**[06:17] ---**
Are you sure you're using
your verbal tic correctly?
**[06:20] ---**
Topography effect! Gale force wind zone!
**[06:25] ---**
I think I'll be able to see, Lucy!
**[06:27] ---**
Don't look!
**[06:28] ---**
Hey!
**[06:29] ---**
We're gonna get blown away!
**[06:32] ---**
Open! Gate of the Virgin!
**[06:35] ---**
Virgo!
**[06:37] ---**
Why a maid-tai?!
**[06:40] ---**
A strong wind and burning inferno.
That's maniacal punishment. Thank you, Princess.
**[06:45] ---**
I'm not going to say anything.
**[06:48] ---**
And long time no see, Big Brother.
**[06:50] ---**
She still calls you that?
**[06:53] ---**
Are they brother and sister?
**[06:55] ---**
No, but... I don't feel like explaining.
**[06:58] ---**
Enough talk-tai!
**[07:01] ---**
Virgo, please!
**[07:03] ---**
Then I'll dig!
**[07:06] ---**
Loke!
**[07:06] ---**
Leave it to me!
**[07:12] ---**
This is a great windbreak hole!
**[07:14] ---**
That was good thinking!
**[07:18] ---**
The enemy is dodging all of
Big Brother's attacks, Princess.
**[07:22] ---**
He's a lot more nimble than he looks.
**[07:25] ---**
I guess you can't underestimate
someone based on appearances.
**[07:28] ---**
Although looks are important.
**[07:30] ---**
It's rude to keep going on about looks!
You'll make me mad!
**[07:34] ---**
You don't look mad.
**[07:36] ---**
Topography effect! Cold zone!
**[07:42] ---**
What is this?! It's too cold!
**[07:44] ---**
Plus, topography effect! Gravity zone!
**[07:52] ---**
I balance out the change in gravity!
**[07:55] ---**
Lucy!
**[07:57] ---**
Hurry up and get me down!
**[08:03] ---**
Sour!
**[08:06] ---**
Your painful expression is lovely, too.
**[08:08] ---**
But I'll give you a sweet ending.
**[08:14] ---**
You'll fall asleep buried
among the food that you hate.
**[08:19] ---**
It'll be a sweet, final sleep that
you've never experienced before.
**[08:23] ---**
W-What are you...?!
**[08:27] ---**
Now, it's beddy-bye time. Pillow Forest!
**[08:31] ---**
If the spores' soporific
effect makes you fall asleep,
**[08:35] ---**
you'll never wake up again.
It's Death Magic!
**[08:39] ---**
Now, fall asleep.
Have an eternal nightmare!
**[08:48] ---**
Still, Number One's strategy
is awesome, you know?
**[08:51] ---**
Yeah, we made an easy
comeback to first place.
**[08:53] ---**
It's a big difference from
our current guild master.
**[08:56] ---**
You can talk?
**[08:58] ---**
Those are some rude comments.
**[09:01] ---**
I sense it.
**[09:02] ---**
Is something wrong, Number One?
**[09:05] ---**
I feel it coming from
deep underground Crocus.
**[09:10] ---**
It's faint, but there are
tremors and magical clashing.
**[09:14] ---**
The brats, I suppose?
**[09:17] ---**
Probably. And it seems
they're fighting split up.
**[09:22] ---**
I-It's cold!
**[09:24] ---**
Tai-tai! I bet you can't feel
your hands or feet anymore-tai!
**[09:29] ---**
Lucy, leave this to me!
**[09:32] ---**
At a time like this, you can warm up
by putting flesh against flesh!
**[09:35] ---**
Go home!
**[09:36] ---**
Please let me handle this, Princess.
**[09:38] ---**
At a time like this, doing a
nice dance will warm you up.
**[09:42] ---**
That isn't solving anything!
**[09:45] ---**
Those are lively Celestial Spirits. I can
feel the deep bond you have with them.
**[09:49] ---**
You're surprisingly happy-go-lucky.
**[09:51] ---**
I'm tired from dancing, so I'm going home.
**[09:55] ---**
Th-Thank you, Virgo.
**[09:58] ---**
Oh, no. My senses are numbed,
and I feel sleepy...
**[10:02] ---**
No matter what, we have to attack him
somehow and dispel this magic.
**[10:07] ---**
Open! Gate of the Bull!
**[10:11] ---**
Taurus!
**[10:15] ---**
Huh? What's wrong, Taurus?
You're not pumped up.
**[10:18] ---**
With that lava zone from before, your nice
body was glistening. It was Mootiful...
**[10:26] ---**
Is that right?
**[10:27] ---**
That being said, it's hard for me to abandon
you even when you're trembling from cold.
**[10:31] ---**
Yeah, yeah...
**[10:33] ---**
Be that as it moo, I won't let either
of your nice bodies be frozen!
**[10:38] ---**
First a maid, then a cow-tai?
**[10:42] ---**
Random Celestial Spirit Wizard!
**[10:44] ---**
Don't say "random"!
**[10:46] ---**
Taurus, he's all yours!
**[10:48] ---**
You're moo-n!
For Lucy-san's sake, full charge!
**[10:59] ---**
Running on ice is just asking
for an accident to happen-tai!
**[11:02] ---**
Mooo-out of commission!
**[11:03] ---**
You're done already?!
**[11:05] ---**
Tai-tai! Why not be still and
accept the inevitable... Huh?
**[11:09] ---**
Is someone missing-tai?
**[11:11] ---**
Over here!
**[11:14] ---**
Yukino!
**[11:15] ---**
Right!
**[11:16] ---**
Libra! Do something with these
scattered blocks of ice.
**[11:18] ---**
Roger! I'll make the enemy
the center of gravity.
**[11:21] ---**
Owowow-tai!
**[11:24] ---**
That's cold-tai...
**[11:25] ---**
She did it!
**[11:26] ---**
Nice combination!
**[11:30] ---**
It's back to normal.
**[11:31] ---**
It was a hard battle, but at least we won.
**[11:34] ---**
The key to victory was our deep love.
**[11:37] ---**
Well, thanks, anyway.
**[11:41] ---**
Criminals... I'm done playing with you-tai.
**[11:45] ---**
You've angered the one guy you
don't want to be angry-tai!
**[11:51] ---**
I thought you were angry before?
**[12:00] ---**
Fairy Tail's in first place?
**[12:02] ---**
Yeah. But Saber's Twin Dragons remain,
so who knows what'll happen?
**[12:07] ---**
Jura, one of the Ten Wizard Saints,
is still in it, too.
**[12:09] ---**
Don't forget Kagura-chan!
**[12:11] ---**
But you never know.
**[12:13] ---**
I heard from the Minister of Defense that if
Fairy Tail wins, we'll free their friends.
**[12:17] ---**
What? Well, who knows what
the enemy is thinking?
**[12:21] ---**
But even the captain...
**[12:23] ---**
Well, that was treason,
any way you look at it.
**[12:27] ---**
Princess, I have the latest update.
**[12:31] ---**
The Garou Knights began their
1500th mission in Hell Palace.
**[12:35] ---**
The criminals resisted, and all of
them are currently engaged in battle.
**[12:40] ---**
They moved to the lower level and are
separated in five different areas.
**[12:44] ---**
Is the enemy communicating telepathically?
**[12:46] ---**
We left nothing to chance. All telepathic
communication from the outside is blocked.
**[12:51] ---**
I know His Majesty is fond of the enemy,
but the thought of being surrounded by them...
**[12:56] ---**
And their guild looks like
it might win. Good grief.
**[13:06] ---**
Lucy-sama?
**[13:08] ---**
He said he was angry, so I went with this...
**[13:16] ---**
He's going with it!
**[13:17] ---**
Goes to show that the Silver Keys
are worth using, too.
**[13:20] ---**
My plan worked! Maybe...
**[13:22] ---**
Maybe?
**[13:26] ---**
Gravity-tai!
**[13:29] ---**
Okay, next! Open! Gate of the Crab!
**[13:35] ---**
Cancer!
**[13:36] ---**
Ebi!
**[13:37] ---**
Even though you're a crab,
what's with saying "ebi"-tai?
***SIGN*** *ebi* = shrimp
**[13:40] ---**
That hairstyle is making
my scissors cower-ebi!
**[13:46] ---**
A wild image change-ebi!
**[13:51] ---**
A handsome guy arrangement-ebi!
**[13:55] ---**
Cute, wanna try picking her up-ebi!
**[13:58] ---**
Execution-kai!
**[13:59] ---**
Ebi sen!
***SIGN*** *ebi sen* = shrimp cracker
**[14:00] ---**
Cancer!
**[14:02] ---**
Weak sauce! I saw through you-tai!
**[14:04] ---**
You're just trying to buy time so
your wounded can get away, right-tai?
**[14:09] ---**
He noticed...
**[14:10] ---**
The cat's out of the bag...
**[14:12] ---**
You're sharper than you look.
**[14:14] ---**
I won't let any of you criminals escape-tai!
**[14:17] ---**
Execution technique! Fainting in agony zone!
**[14:20] ---**
What is this?!
**[14:21] ---**
An execution device!
**[14:22] ---**
He caught us!
**[14:24] ---**
Let us go!
**[14:26] ---**
Crap!
**[14:27] ---**
Don't move-tai!
**[14:29] ---**
You look like a pain-tai.
**[14:31] ---**
So if you move, I'll start
by executing the beardie-tai.
**[14:35] ---**
Lucy!
**[14:36] ---**
Listen to him!
**[14:38] ---**
Huh, what's wrong? Go ahead,
show me your other Celestial Spirits!
**[14:43] ---**
He's totally making light of us.
**[14:45] ---**
Doesn't feel good, does it?
**[14:46] ---**
All right, then! Open! Gate of the Scorpion!
**[14:50] ---**
Open! Gate of the Fish!
**[14:53] ---**
Scorpion!
**[14:56] ---**
Pisces!
**[15:01] ---**
Fish!
**[15:02] ---**
Fish!
**[15:10] ---**
I'm thrilled with the fish-tai!
But they're too big!
**[15:14] ---**
Now, Scorpio!
**[15:15] ---**
Sand Buster!
**[15:17] ---**
Aye!
**[15:18] ---**
Hey!
**[15:19] ---**
Thanks, Scorpio!
**[15:21] ---**
We are... I mean, no big deal, baby, yeah.
**[15:28] ---**
Lucy, we're okay over here!
**[15:31] ---**
Great! Thanks!
**[15:33] ---**
How's this-tai? I got my sense of
balance from training in rough seas.
**[15:37] ---**
This feels great-tai!
**[15:39] ---**
Yukino!
**[15:40] ---**
Right!
**[15:41] ---**
Scorpio!
**[15:41] ---**
Pisces!
**[15:46] ---**
I'm dizzy-tai!
**[15:48] ---**
Lucy-sama, what's our next move?
**[15:50] ---**
Loke! Aim for him, avoiding Pisces!
**[15:55] ---**
That won't be easy,
but I'll do anything for you!
**[15:59] ---**
Here I go! Regulus Impact!
**[16:04] ---**
He did it! That's my Loke!
**[16:06] ---**
What a brilliant light!
**[16:09] ---**
That's not me. What is that glow?
**[16:11] ---**
I counterbalanced your light-tai!
**[16:14] ---**
Topography effect plus white night zone!
**[16:18] ---**
You can do that?!
**[16:20] ---**
Since it's come to this,
I'll play my trump card.
**[16:26] ---**
Are you already having sour dreams?
**[16:29] ---**
Out of all my execution techniques,
this is my favorite.
**[16:34] ---**
Although it depends on my opponent...
**[16:37] ---**
I haven't executed a cute criminal
like you in quite some time.
**[16:45] ---**
Well? Can you make contact
with the rescue team, Warren?
**[16:50] ---**
It's strange...
**[16:53] ---**
Natsu and the others were heading
for the palace, Mercurius,
**[16:56] ---**
which isn't that far from here, so I should
be able to reach them no problem, but...
**[17:01] ---**
Number One, the clash of magic
you sensed came from underground?
**[17:06] ---**
Yes. I'm sure of it.
**[17:08] ---**
Maybe it's because of that Eclipse thing.
It absorbs magic if you get close, right?
**[17:13] ---**
No. She's sensing their magic as they battle,
so there has to be another reason.
**[17:19] ---**
But who are they fightin'?
The Cherry Blossom Knights or whatever?
**[17:24] ---**
There is a magic unit,
isn't there? But still...
**[17:28] ---**
...I can't imagine them putting up much
of a fight against Natsu and the others.
**[17:31] ---**
In the first place, if they were caught
sneaking in, it would've caused an uproar here.
**[17:36] ---**
Assuming that Lucy and Yukino were
freed, there is one possibility.
**[17:43] ---**
It hasn't been made public, but there
are rumors of an independent unit.
**[17:48] ---**
Don't tell me you're talking about
executioners, Alzack. They're just...
**[17:53] ---**
I know. Like an urban legend. But...
**[17:56] ---**
But after hearing about
the Eclipse Project...
**[17:59] ---**
...it's not impossible!
**[18:02] ---**
That's it! All I'm picking up is weird noises,
so maybe they're jamming me somehow.
**[18:08] ---**
It's frustrating, but right now,
we can't do anything.
**[18:12] ---**
I know. All we can do is have
faith in the brats and wait.
**[18:19] ---**
How was that? You didn't even tag me once.
**[18:22] ---**
What will power... You don't recognize
your sins or accept punishment.
**[18:28] ---**
I've never met a sinner like you.
**[18:30] ---**
Well, it's about time I sock you in the jaw,
then go off to find Lucy and the rest.
**[18:35] ---**
Your friends have already been executed.
**[18:38] ---**
Go to the other side without a fuss.
They're waiting for you.
**[18:41] ---**
You're full of it! My friends
wouldn't get taken out so easy!
**[18:45] ---**
Don't underestimate Fairy Tail!
**[18:48] ---**
A lowly wizards guild would
dare defy the kingdom?
**[18:52] ---**
When you kidnap fellow guild members and
threaten us with execution, hell yeah!
**[18:57] ---**
I'll knock out every last one of ya!
**[19:00] ---**
Pisces!
**[19:03] ---**
Tai?! The fish...
**[19:05] ---**
Fish? I mean, are they...?
**[19:08] ---**
Pisces' true forms.
The Celestial Spirit of mother and son.
**[19:14] ---**
Mama, getting summoned in this form means...
**[19:17] ---**
Annihilation of the enemy, son.
**[19:19] ---**
As always, she's so beautiful,
you wouldn't think she had a kid.
**[19:23] ---**
Please.
**[19:25] ---**
Okay, Mama!
**[19:27] ---**
*I'm* not your mama!
**[19:31] ---**
Wow!
**[19:32] ---**
I liked them better as fish.
**[19:35] ---**
Oh, you...
**[19:36] ---**
Ow-tai!
**[19:37] ---**
Let's finish the job, son.
**[19:40] ---**
Okay, Mama!
**[19:44] ---**
Topography effect! Lava zone!
**[19:47] ---**
Mama! What is this?!
**[19:49] ---**
I'm gonna grill some fish!
**[19:51] ---**
You mean to eat them?!
**[19:54] ---**
Arcadios-sama!
**[19:55] ---**
Loke!
**[19:56] ---**
We're okay! Leave the rest to me!
**[20:00] ---**
Although if you insist,
I'd love to catch you in my arms.
**[20:04] ---**
Yeah, yeah...
**[20:06] ---**
You know what to do, right, son?
**[20:08] ---**
I know, Mama!
**[20:15] ---**
The lava zone solidified?!
**[20:18] ---**
Because of that spray of water?
I don't believe it!
**[20:21] ---**
That's the gap between
his magic and ours, son.
**[20:23] ---**
That's right, Mama!
**[20:26] ---**
They saved us...
**[20:28] ---**
You probably should have jumped.
**[20:30] ---**
I know, right?
**[20:32] ---**
All this magic use is
taking its toll on me...
**[20:35] ---**
Let's overcome him all at once, Lucy-sama.
**[20:38] ---**
All right! This time, finish it! Taurus!
**[20:42] ---**
One moooore punch!
**[20:47] ---**
I mooost definitely beat him, Lucy-san!
**[20:51] ---**
Yay!
**[20:52] ---**
Uh, what are you doing?
**[20:54] ---**
I realized that if you do this,
it makes your butt nice and toasty warm.
**[21:01] ---**
Now I'm tired of seeing Celestial Spirits-tai!
Topography effect! Whirling tide!
**[21:08] ---**
I have a bad feeling...
**[21:10] ---**
Fish and cow both, return to the sea-tai!
**[21:14] ---**
Mama! What is this?!
**[21:15] ---**
Son! Hang in there!
**[21:18] ---**
I don't think a cow has
anything to do with the sea!
**[21:24] ---**
Fish!
**[21:25] ---**
He realized that Pisces' weakness is water!
**[21:29] ---**
Even though they're fish?
**[21:30] ---**
Lucy! Are you okay?!
**[21:33] ---**
I think so!
**[21:34] ---**
I don't get it, but there's no direct
damage and the water is shallow.
**[21:39] ---**
What are you trying to do?!
**[21:41] ---**
Look at the center of the whirlpool-tai!
**[21:43] ---**
If you get dragged over there,
you'll be flung someplace-tai!
**[21:48] ---**
F-Flung where?!
**[21:51] ---**
Who knows?
**[21:52] ---**
That vagueness makes it even scarier!
**[21:57] ---**
Criminals, vanish with
the infinite water-tai!
**[22:02] ---**
Water... That's it, water!
If there's water...
**[22:07] ---**
Lucy?! Don't tell me you're
going to summon *her*?!
**[22:10] ---**
Her?
**[22:11] ---**
Open! Gate of the Water Bearer!
**[22:20] ---**
Aquarius!
**[23:56] ---**
Now that Lucy's got her Celestial Spirit
keys back, we've got nothing to fear, right?
**[24:00] ---**
All right! Then we just
have to kick their asses!
**[24:03] ---**
Yeah! And after that,
we need to find the exit!
**[24:06] ---**
Yeah, we can't be stranded
down here forever!
**[24:09] ---**
That's right, Natsu! Get 'em!
**[24:11] ---**
We'll show 'em how resolved we are!
**[24:14] ---**
Next time: The Place Where We Are!
**[24:16] ---**
We'd even make enemies of our country and
the world for the sake of our friends!
**[24:20] ---**
That's Fairy Tail!
**[24:21] ---**
Go for it, Natsu!
