**[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 *mooo*re.
**[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 re*moo*mber.
**[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 any*mooo*re.
**[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.
