[00:03] ---
    The information is still fragmentary,
[00:06] ---
    so I don't have a proper grip
    on the situation myself.
[00:11] ---
    But the 12 Golden Gates won't respond
     when they're summoned?
[00:15] ---
    That's right.
[00:18] ---
    Celestial Spirits and Celestial Spirit Wizards
     have contracts with each other,
[00:23] ---
    so this is unthinkable, unless
    something very unusual happened.
[00:27] ---
    This is the first time I haven't been able
    to make contact with the Celestial Spirits.
[00:32] ---
    In other words, "something very unusual"
    has happened?
[00:37] ---
    Gimme a break.
[00:39] ---
    That bastard Loke...
    I swear I'll kick his ass!
[00:43] ---
    First of all, tell me
    what happened in detail.
[02:22] ---
    "Perfect freedom"?
[02:24] ---
    Is that what Loke said?
[02:26] ---
    He's the leader of the
    12 Golden Gates, right?
[02:30] ---
    So maybe he's behind all of this...
[02:34] ---
    Then if I pound on him,
    this could all go away!
[02:38] ---
    Chill out.
[02:40] ---
    Like I can chill out!
    Those guys are Lucy's—
[02:43] ---
    Hey!
[02:47] ---
    The 12 Golden Gates... are rebelling...
[02:51] ---
    What could be the cause?
[02:54] ---
    I can't believe they're rebelling!
[02:57] ---
    Of course, neither can I! But...
[03:00] ---
    That's right! I'll ask
    Old Master Crux one more time!
[03:04] ---
    But Virgo forced the gate shut...
[03:08] ---
    I'm sure he'll come!
[03:10] ---
    Gate of the Southern Cross,
     I open thee! Crux!
[03:16] ---
    Why Horologium? Where's Old Master Crux?
[03:20] ---
    "It is very dangerous to come here,
    so I had him bring me, indeed"...
[03:25] ---
    ...he said.
[03:27] ---
    He's been through a lot.
    And now he's sleeping...
[03:33] ---
    Library Panic!
[03:37] ---
    We're back!
[03:39] ---
    I'm starving!
[03:41] ---
    Mira-chan, make me the special dish
     that gives you stamina. Uh...
[03:44] ---
    What the heck?
[03:45] ---
    Is something wrong?
[03:49] ---
    I want you to tell me what's happening
    in the Celestial Spirit World.
[03:53] ---
    It's absolute mayhem!
[03:56] ---
    And it all began so suddenly...
[03:59] ---
    The contracts between the 12 Golden Gates
    and the Celestial Spirit Wizards
[04:03] ---
    have spontaneously become
    nullified out of the blue.
[04:09] ---
    Perhaps due to that influence,
    they are wreaking havoc,
[04:13] ---
    the Celestial Spirit World
    has become a wasteland,
[04:15] ---
    and we can only hide...
[04:18] ---
    What happened to your mustache?
[04:20] ---
    Can't the Celestial Spirit King do something?
[04:24] ---
    But we don't know where he is.
    He's disappeared without a trace.
[04:29] ---
    The Celestial Spirit King is missing?
    I don't believe this!
[04:32] ---
    In any event, Leo-sama the Lion is
    the leader of the 12 Golden Gates.
[04:37] ---
    It seems like they forgot about us.
[04:41] ---
    Loke was going on about
    "perfect freedom" or somethin'...
[04:45] ---
    Liberum.
[04:47] ---
    Liberum?
[04:48] ---
    Does it have something to do
    with this ancient tome?
[04:53] ---
    What is that?
[04:54] ---
    Show me.
[04:56] ---
    Sure.
[04:56] ---
    Um... A grimoire written in ancient Meridius.
[05:01] ---
    No, it's a study...
[05:04] ---
    It looks like most of the
    entries talk about "Liberum."
[05:08] ---
    That's our scholar!
[05:10] ---
    Were you investigating it
    on your own, Yukino-chan?
[05:13] ---
    Yes. I made it as far as that text,
    but I didn't know where to go next,
[05:19] ---
    so I thought I might be able
    to get answers by coming here.
[05:23] ---
    So an old text like that
    is even in the Human World?
[05:28] ---
    Liberum is the name of a certain ritual
    that Celestial Spirits perform.
[05:34] ---
    A ritual...
[05:35] ---
    Then maybe...
[05:37] ---
    Indeed, if Liberum is performed,
[05:40] ---
    they can acquire the "perfect freedom"
    that Leo-sama spoke of.
[05:46] ---
    But listen to this.
    "When Liberum is performed,
[05:49] ---
    a celestial globe is required to liberate
    the Celestial Spirits from their chains."
[05:53] ---
    "Chains"... We never
    thought of it like that...
[05:59] ---
    Lucy-sama...
[06:01] ---
    This ain't no time to be bummed out, Lucy.
[06:03] ---
    That's right! You've got a
    frown line between your brows.
[06:07] ---
    Yeah...
[06:08] ---
    I'll definitely mess Loke up.
[06:11] ---
    And then I'll bring him back to normal.
[06:14] ---
    Thanks, Natsu.
[06:17] ---
    The ritual needs a "celestial globe."
    And where is that?
[06:22] ---
    I don't know.
[06:23] ---
    I couldn't even tell you if
    they already have it or not.
[06:29] ---
    My guess is they don't have it yet.
[06:32] ---
    Mine, too!
[06:33] ---
    If they did have it, they wouldn't go
    to the trouble of appearing before Lucy.
[06:38] ---
    You mean they would've already
    started the ritual, huh?
[06:41] ---
    Then Loke just showed up to
    declare their independence?
[06:46] ---
    Levy, are there any other
    clues related to Liberum?
[06:51] ---
    Calculating formulas and
    lore are recorded here,
[06:54] ---
    but a lot of it's vague, and the words are
    too old for me to glean anything else.
[06:58] ---
    We won't get anywhere without digging deeper.
[07:02] ---
    Wait a second. Come to think of it...
[07:05] ---
    That's right! The Magic Library
    may have more detailed archives!
[07:12] ---
    The influence of the anomalous weather may
    be extending to the Celestial Spirit World.
[07:17] ---
    But we won't be able to move forward
     on conjectures alone.
[07:21] ---
    Master...
[07:23] ---
    We'll go on from here,
    getting ahead of the 12 Golden Gates
[07:26] ---
    by getting our hands on more detailed
    information. It all begins from there.
[07:30] ---
    Erza, you're in charge!
[07:32] ---
    Right! Cana, you're with me.
[07:35] ---
    Wendy, you're with Carla.
    Gray, you're with Juvia.
[07:38] ---
    Gajeel, you're with Lily.
    And Mira, please go with Elfman.
[07:42] ---
    We'll gather information from anywhere
     likely to have a clue about this.
[07:45] ---
    Upon Warren's return, we'll set up
    lateral communication between teams.
[07:50] ---
    I want Lucy, Natsu, Yukino, Levy, and
    Happy to head for the Magic Library.
[07:55] ---
    Okay!
[07:55] ---
    Aye, sir!
[07:57] ---
    If it's related to books, leave it to me!
[07:58] ---
    Thank you for letting me help.
[08:00] ---
    Huh?
[08:01] ---
    Natsu isn't here.
[08:03] ---
    Old Master Crux and Horologium are gone, too.
[08:05] ---
    D-Don't tell me...
[08:07] ---
    That idiot!
[08:13] ---
    Thanks for the clothes, Old Master Crux!
    I owe you one!
[08:16] ---
    "I don't mind,
[08:18] ---
    but indeed, don't you have to
    follow Erza-sama's instructions?"
[08:23] ---
    he said.
[08:25] ---
    They're responsible for
    Lucy's gloomy expression!
[08:28] ---
    So I'm gonna open a can of whup-ass
    on every last one of 'em!
[08:30] ---
    "Indeed, weren't you supposed to
    gather information first?" he said.
[08:36] ---
    Never mind that! Here I go!
[08:45] ---
    Where are you?! All of you clowns,
     get out here now!
[08:52] ---
    Crap! You two hide!
[08:55] ---
    Indeed! Please be safe!
[08:59] ---
    Mooo. Welcome to the Celestial Spirit World.
[09:02] ---
    Taurus! That ain't you! You're a lusty bull!
[09:07] ---
    The Celestial Spirit that
    lacked dignity is no mooore.
[09:16] ---
    I am a Golden Bull who eliminates
    his enemies in a gentlemanly manner.
[09:21] ---
    Dammit...
[09:30] ---
    I hope Natsu is okay...
[09:33] ---
    Apparently, time flows differently
    in the Celestial Spirit World,
[09:37] ---
    so I believe Natsu-sama
    has just arrived there.
[09:40] ---
    Oh, I see.
[09:41] ---
    I'm worried too, but if we don't find
    a clue about stopping Liberum...
[09:46] ---
    Still, you've been through a ton of books.
[09:51] ---
    Have you learned anything?
[09:53] ---
    Not yet. So keep bringing all
    the books that are on that list.
[09:57] ---
    Aye,sir!
[09:59] ---
    "According to one theory,
[10:01] ---
    the folklore surrounding
    Liberum is extremely dubious."
[10:06] ---
    "Meridius in the Meridius language
    means 'south'..." I know that already!
[10:12] ---
    "It is necessary to perform
    Liberum in a certain area.
[10:16] ---
    The name of that place
     is 'Astral Spirytus.'"
[10:20] ---
    "Astral Spirytus"? Is that...
[10:23] ---
    This book doesn't state its whereabouts.
     I'll try another one.
[10:28] ---
    Levy-chan, have you found out anything
     about the celestial sphere?
[10:31] ---
    Not yet. The books here are also so old
    that the descriptions are ambiguous.
[10:36] ---
    But we have to do something.
[10:39] ---
    What is that?
[10:41] ---
    It feels like... Don't tell me it's...
[10:44] ---
    Hey!
[10:49] ---
    What is it?!
[10:52] ---
    Ouch!
[10:54] ---
    Is everyone all right?
[10:56] ---
    M-More or less...
[10:58] ---
    We fell from a great height. What happened?
[11:03] ---
    Lu-chan?
[11:04] ---
    Be careful, everyone!
[11:09] ---
    I was right. I realized it
    right away from that feeling.
[11:14] ---
    Virgo!
[11:17] ---
    It's time for punishment.
[11:31] ---
    That's Virgo, Lu-chan?
[11:33] ---
    Yeah!
[11:36] ---
    I love watching you run away!
[11:38] ---
    More screaming! More agony!
[11:41] ---
    Come, come, the pleasure of
    punishment has only just begun!
[11:46] ---
    Solid Script! Iron!
[11:53] ---
    No childish pranks now!
[11:56] ---
    Stop it, Virgo!
[11:58] ---
    I won't stop! And by the way,
[12:00] ---
    even though we both have Etoile Whips,
     mine is more powerful!
[12:08] ---
    Lucy!
[12:11] ---
    Lu-chan!
[12:13] ---
    You're not getting away!
[12:22] ---
    Yukino?!
[12:24] ---
    I've studied martial arts at Sabertooth!
[12:27] ---
    Levy-sama! Investigate
    while you have the chance!
[12:30] ---
    Please! We'll keep Virgo in check somehow!
[12:33] ---
    Okay!
[12:34] ---
    Yukino is scary. I'll try to
    never get in a fight with her...
[12:38] ---
    Why would you ever get in
    a fight with her anyway?
[12:41] ---
    I enjoy inflicting pain, but I hate
     to be on the receiving end.
[12:46] ---
    You have no right to interfere!
[12:47] ---
    I have to research, but which book and where?
[12:51] ---
    Wait, is this the list of donated books?
[12:56] ---
    That hurt!
[12:57] ---
    But now I'll pay you back with punishment!
[13:03] ---
    Whoa!
[13:04] ---
    Virgo, stop this already!
[13:06] ---
    "Stop"? Say it again!
[13:09] ---
    Hearing that word gets me fired up.
[13:13] ---
    Virgo has become a total sadist!
[13:16] ---
    Virgo, remember us!
[13:20] ---
    Levy?!
[13:21] ---
    It has to be...
[13:23] ---
    Where's she going?
[13:25] ---
    Other Celestial Spirits could show up, too.
    Please protect Levy-chan, Yukino!
[13:29] ---
    Understood!
[13:31] ---
    Oh, you shouldn't look away. Look at me!
[13:35] ---
    Show me a look of agony, Lucy Heartfilia!
[13:43] ---
    Ow...
[13:45] ---
    Well, well. It looks like you
    still have some fight left in you.
[13:49] ---
    I once mistook you for a monster
     and sent you flying.
[13:53] ---
    So this makes us even.
[13:55] ---
    I no longer remoomber.
[13:57] ---
    Is that right? Then I'll keep
    sluggin' you 'til it comes back.
[14:02] ---
    I'm afraid you will only be
     wasting your time...
[14:05] ---
    Shut up and go back to normal, cow!
[14:10] ---
    Roar of the... Fire Dragon!
[14:17] ---
    Ow...
[14:18] ---
    You're heavy, Lucy. I'm gonna die!
[14:22] ---
    That's rude!
[14:23] ---
    Your butt is heavy...
[14:26] ---
    Huh? Where's Virgo?
[14:28] ---
    Oh, no! She took off after Levy and Yukino!
[14:34] ---
    Levy-sama! Where are you going?!
[14:37] ---
    I found the list of donated books!
[14:39] ---
    Books that were donated to this library?
[14:42] ---
    The celestial globe we're searching
    for is in this library!
[14:45] ---
    Really?!
[14:47] ---
    Apparently, it was discovered
    during an archaeological dig.
[14:50] ---
    No one at the time recognized
    it as anything important,
[14:54] ---
    but this is also an archaeological
    institute, so they donated it.
[15:00] ---
    Except I don't know where it is in here!
[15:03] ---
    Anyway, we have to look!
[15:04] ---
    Let's start by figuring out where
     they keep the donated items!
[15:10] ---
    Wait, Virgo!
[15:11] ---
    I don't take orders from
    you anymore, remember?!
[15:16] ---
    Ow!
[15:18] ---
    S-Stop it!
[15:20] ---
    "Stop it! Stop it!" Keep saying it!
[15:24] ---
    Is it digging into you?
    It'll dig into you more! Look!
[15:28] ---
    I-I'm gonna be cut in half!
[15:30] ---
    Why are you doing this?!
[15:33] ---
    The expressions on your faces are
    delightful! It must feel so good!
[15:38] ---
    Not to me, it doesn't!
[15:40] ---
    It hurts!
[15:43] ---
    Oh, no! Lucy is bending!
[15:46] ---
    She'll snap in two!
[15:48] ---
    Why?! Virgo...
[15:56] ---
    Hey, cow! You're Lucy's Celestial Spirit!
[16:00] ---
    You and Lucy destroyed the Nirvana
    core together, remember?!
[16:04] ---
    Remember Lucy! You're making her sad!
[16:09] ---
    I have no idea what you're talking about.
[16:11] ---
    Bastard!
[16:17] ---
    Well?
[16:18] ---
    I don't see anything that it could be.
[16:21] ---
    Maybe it's in one of these storage rooms...
[16:23] ---
    It would take days to search all of them.
[16:28] ---
    There should be some kind
    of clue around here...
[16:33] ---
    All right, I'll make you feel even better!
[16:43] ---
    I'm dizzy...
[16:48] ---
    Calm down... Clear your mind...
    There must be some clue...
[16:53] ---
    Virgo's glance sticks in my mind.
[16:57] ---
    When you noticed the donation
    list, she glanced over.
[17:02] ---
    She noticed me searching for the
    celestial globe and gave chase?
[17:07] ---
    I think she wants you to find the globe,
    Levy-sama, so then she can steal it.
[17:12] ---
    I see. Then we have to hurry. Huh?!
[17:17] ---
    Come on, run, run! Run for your lives!
[17:23] ---
    Hang in there, Happy!
[17:26] ---
    I can't eat all this...
[17:29] ---
    You're dreaming?!
[17:33] ---
    I see. Then maybe...
[17:36] ---
    Levy-sama?!
[17:37] ---
    Um, I'm sure it's around here...
[17:40] ---
    There! The East Warehouse!
[17:43] ---
    What about it?
[17:45] ---
    It's "East"... Which means maybe
    there's a "West" and "North" one, too!
[17:51] ---
    Four warehouses,
    one for each major direction...
[17:54] ---
    That book in ancient Meridius...
    Meridius means south!
[17:58] ---
    The South Warehouse, right?! But...
[18:01] ---
    Yeah... W-We don't know
    what floor it's on.
[18:06] ---
    All we can do is search
    every nook and cranny!
[18:11] ---
    Lu-chan!
[18:11] ---
    Lucy-sama!
[18:13] ---
    It hurts!
[18:15] ---
    You're heavy...
[18:17] ---
    Levy-chan, Yukino, did you find any clues?
[18:20] ---
    That's right! This is perfect timing!
[18:24] ---
    Virgo isn't chasing us anymore...
[18:26] ---
    I see. South Warehouse, huh? Leave it to me!
[18:30] ---
    Gate of the Compass, I open thee!
[18:34] ---
    Pyxis!
[18:37] ---
    Thank you for coming! Do you know what
    direction the South Warehouse is in?
[18:49] ---
    Okay! Over there, huh? Thanks, Pyxis!
[18:54] ---
    We were closer than we thought, huh?
[18:56] ---
    Let's hurry!
[18:58] ---
    She was following us! That's playing dirty!
[19:02] ---
    Levy-chan, go on ahead!
[19:04] ---
    You aren't getting past us!
[19:06] ---
    Got it! Be careful, you two!
[19:10] ---
    Levy McGarden. That girl is heading
    for the celestial globe, isn't she?
[19:16] ---
    Yukino, are you ready?
[19:17] ---
    Yes!
[19:18] ---
    I'd like to punish you more,
[19:20] ---
    but I need to get what I came for.
[19:32] ---
    Ow...
[19:34] ---
    You're very tough for a human, mooo.
[19:38] ---
    Dammit, how many times do I have
    to punch you before you remember?!
[19:44] ---
    Mooo...
[19:46] ---
    Certainly, it seems there was a
    contract between me and a human,
[19:50] ---
    but I don't remember it well.
[19:53] ---
    What?!
[19:54] ---
    Besides, that kind of relationship
    doesn't mean anything anymooore.
[20:00] ---
    Jackass! Quit sayin' things
    that would make Lucy sad!
[20:05] ---
    Who was that again?
[20:07] ---
    I'll have to beat it back into your memory!
[20:11] ---
    Sword Edge of the Fire Dragon!
[20:12] ---
    Moo.
[20:20] ---
    Please come again.
[20:30] ---
    I found it! This is the celestial globe!
[20:33] ---
    Levy-chan!
[20:34] ---
    I found it, Lu-chan!
[20:36] ---
    Yay!
[20:37] ---
    Now we can stop them from
    performing Liberum, right?
[20:40] ---
    We have to get back to the guild!
[20:43] ---
    Thank you for finding this for me.
[20:47] ---
    Let go!
[20:47] ---
    Levy-chan!
[20:48] ---
    Oh, no!
[20:48] ---
    You let go!
[20:54] ---
    It's okay. Good globe...
[20:57] ---
    Virgo! You musn't take that away!
[21:00] ---
    I am taking it. But in exchange,
    I promise to fill Magnolia full of holes.
[21:04] ---
    Wait! Listen, Liberum is...
[21:07] ---
    And for starters, I'll turn this
    library into a really hole-y place!
[21:12] ---
    She won't listen at all?!
[21:20] ---
    Natsu?!
[21:21] ---
    Ow... That was some fall...
[21:26] ---
    Hi! What are you guys doin'?
    In fact, where are we?
[21:30] ---
    What are you talking about?! You went off
    to the Celestial Spirit World on your own!
[21:33] ---
    And you took forever to get back!
[21:36] ---
    Virgo is gone!
[21:38] ---
    The celestial globe!
[21:40] ---
    What should we do? She made off with it.
[21:43] ---
    What?!
[21:45] ---
    Um, Lu-chan...
[21:47] ---
    There's one more thing
    I found out about Liberum...
[21:51] ---
    A note was written on the
    list by "celestial sphere."
[21:55] ---
    The price of freedom that Liberum
    will bring the Celestial Spirits...
[22:00] ---
    They'll only live for 12 more days.
[22:07] ---
    W-What?!
[22:09] ---
    12 more days to live...
[22:11] ---
    So they're going to die
    in exchange for freedom?
[23:55] ---
    Fish, fish! I smell fish!
[23:59] ---
    Fish? You mean the Celestial Spirits, Pisces?
[24:02] ---
    Of course!
[24:03] ---
    But are they really fish? They talk.
[24:05] ---
    Natsu, who decided that fish
    aren't allowed to talk?!
[24:10] ---
    Well, true...
[24:11] ---
    They can talk if they want! What's the
    difference, as long as they're tasty?!
[24:15] ---
    All right! All right, already!
[24:17] ---
    Next time: Stand, Hisui!
[24:18] ---
    Fish are happiness! Fish are love!
[24:22] ---
    Happy... Calm down a bit.
