**[00:02] ---**
Are you done?
**[00:04] ---**
This is how you use a whip!
**[00:10] ---**
It hurts, doesn't it? But it's punishment,
so it's supposed to hurt!
**[00:15] ---**
Stop it!
**[00:16] ---**
Forget it! Take that! And that!
What's the matter?!
**[00:33] ---**
Piri! Here I am!
**[00:36] ---**
Piri! Over here!
**[00:37] ---**
I've never felt so irritated!
**[00:40] ---**
I have no idea what they're gonna do.
**[00:43] ---**
Piri-piri! These two are no fun at all!
**[00:46] ---**
No fun, no fun!
**[00:49] ---**
Piri-piri! Pikkiri!
**[00:53] ---**
What is this power?!
**[00:56] ---**
There will be three matches. Whoever
wins two first is the victor. Agreed?
**[01:03] ---**
Sure.
**[01:04] ---**
Seen in this light, the scenery's
actually pretty atmospheric.
**[01:08] ---**
I have to admit, my fighting
spirit is building up.
**[01:12] ---**
We're both soldiers.
**[01:15] ---**
I figured that as long as we're going
to be fighting, I should set the mood.
**[01:20] ---**
I see. You're the type that
starts from the style.
**[01:25] ---**
I sense a similarity to me in you.
**[01:27] ---**
Let us have a supreme showdown
in a superlative setting.
**[01:32] ---**
I have no objections to that.
**[01:34] ---**
I just wish we had an audience.
**[01:36] ---**
I couldn't bear to let other people see you
lose so ingloriously, Erza-dono.
**[01:41] ---**
I have at least that much sympathy for you.
**[01:44] ---**
Those are fighting words.
**[01:46] ---**
Then let us have a fair...
**[01:48] ---**
...fight!
**[03:31] ---**
Why don't you take it easy?
**[03:33] ---**
You think I can take it easy
in a situation like this?!
**[03:36] ---**
Forget the fact they caught me off guard,
I let them turn me into a furry! Dammit!
**[03:41] ---**
I can't let anyone else in
the guild see me like this!
**[03:44] ---**
Still, running yourself ragged
on a hamster wheel is no help!
**[03:48] ---**
Running or sitting, I can't stand it here!
**[03:52] ---**
Right when we've gotta figure out
a way to close that gate, and fast!
**[03:56] ---**
Piri! Look! He's running on it!
**[04:00] ---**
How cute!
**[04:02] ---**
They are cute!
**[04:06] ---**
Erza vs. Sagittarius!
Showdown on Horseback!
**[04:10] ---**
Piri-piri!
**[04:12] ---**
Enough with the "piri"!
Just get us out of here!
**[04:15] ---**
Hey, return us to our
original forms and fight us!
**[04:21] ---**
It looks like he's in a bad mood, Mini. Piri!
**[04:25] ---**
I bet he's hungry, Gemi. Piri!
**[04:29] ---**
I'll give you some food.
You like this, right?
**[04:32] ---**
Wha...?!
**[04:33] ---**
Piri-piri!
**[04:35] ---**
C-Cut it out! What the hell are you doin'?!
**[04:37] ---**
I pulled these weeds from
over there, piri-piri!
**[04:41] ---**
Like I can eat this crap?!
At least give me some iron!
**[04:46] ---**
Beggars can't be choosers!
Shut up and eat your weeds, piri!
**[04:51] ---**
You'll never grow if you're
a picky eater, piri!
**[04:54] ---**
I ain't a picky eater!
I'm just not gonna eat weeds!
**[04:58] ---**
They're totally treating us
like pets. Gimme a break!
**[05:02] ---**
I wanna touch his tail, piri!
**[05:06] ---**
I wanna pet him, piri!
**[05:08] ---**
Knock it off, dammit! Ow!
**[05:13] ---**
He's fluffy!
**[05:15] ---**
Let us pet you some more!
**[05:17] ---**
Piri-piri!
**[05:18] ---**
Cut it out! You're gonna tear me in half!
**[05:22] ---**
Those two should not be
allowed to have pets...
**[05:24] ---**
When you take care of animals, you must
treat them gently and with consideration.
**[05:29] ---**
Otherwise, they'll get ill
from the stress.
**[05:33] ---**
Don't just watch, do something!
**[05:36] ---**
It hurts my pride a bit, but this
isn't the time to worry about that.
**[05:43] ---**
Look! This one's starting to run, too!
**[05:48] ---**
Cute! I wanna touch him!
**[05:52] ---**
Piri-piri!
**[05:54] ---**
Now!
**[06:00] ---**
One of them got away! We've gotta catch him!
**[06:03] ---**
It's okay.
**[06:05] ---**
There are a lot of scary animals outside,
like bears and wild boars.
**[06:11] ---**
He won't get far.
**[06:13] ---**
Gajeel... Go for it!
**[06:17] ---**
Hang in there, Lily! I'll save you soon!
**[06:21] ---**
Wait, wait!
***SIGN*** Gemi Mini
**[06:23] ---**
Piri-piri! Pikkiri!
**[06:28] ---**
Now I'm a frog?!
**[06:30] ---**
You're not getting away!
**[06:32] ---**
Frogs aren't that cute!
**[06:34] ---**
Then how about this?
**[06:36] ---**
Ribbit-ribbit-ribbit!
**[06:38] ---**
A snail?! I can barely move!
**[06:42] ---**
That's cuter, right?
**[06:45] ---**
Yeah!
**[06:46] ---**
But he's not fluffy enough!
**[06:51] ---**
I'll make you even cuter!
**[06:55] ---**
What the hell?! I can't fight like this!
**[07:00] ---**
I need to get back to my real form!
**[07:06] ---**
Bearrr!
**[07:09] ---**
Growl!
**[07:10] ---**
Grrr!
**[07:12] ---**
Get outta my way!
**[07:22] ---**
Hey, bear.
**[07:24] ---**
Bear?
**[07:24] ---**
I need your help.
**[07:27] ---**
Bear...
**[07:31] ---**
Where did he go? This is aggravating.
**[07:34] ---**
It is aggravating.
**[07:36] ---**
Fluffy!
**[07:38] ---**
There he is!
**[07:41] ---**
Piri-piri!
**[07:44] ---**
We found you!
**[07:46] ---**
We found you!
**[07:47] ---**
Bear?
**[07:48] ---**
Piri?!
**[07:49] ---**
You're wide open!
**[07:52] ---**
That's playing dirty-piri!
**[07:57] ---**
That hurt! You're terrible!
**[07:59] ---**
Now I'm mad! We'll just
have to teach you a lesson!
**[08:05] ---**
Piri!
**[08:09] ---**
Piri!
**[08:12] ---**
Pikkiri!
**[08:17] ---**
Piri-piri! I'm a mongoose!
**[08:20] ---**
Piri-piri! I turned into a snake!
**[08:22] ---**
What should I do?
Mini looks tasty to me, piri!
**[08:26] ---**
I don't wanna be eaten, piri! No!
**[08:30] ---**
Sheesh. What a bother!
**[08:32] ---**
Club of the Iron Dragon!
**[08:34] ---**
Piri?
**[08:38] ---**
Piri!
**[08:41] ---**
What the hell? If I can still use magic
in this form, tell me from the start!
**[08:48] ---**
I'm closing the gate!
**[08:51] ---**
Piri!
**[08:56] ---**
I'm finally back to normal.
**[08:58] ---**
You did it, Gajeel.
**[09:00] ---**
Yeah!
**[09:00] ---**
If you could use magic, shouldn't you have
used Club of the Iron Dragon from the start?
**[09:05] ---**
Shut up! I just assumed I couldn't use it.
**[09:11] ---**
The globe is with Leo.
**[09:14] ---**
Certainly, that's a strong possibility.
**[09:17] ---**
In other words, if we know
where the celestial globe is,
**[09:21] ---**
we can determine Leo's location
and maybe even what he's doing.
**[09:24] ---**
Wait a moment.
**[09:27] ---**
Portable Lacrima Vision. I can't guarantee
the sharpest picture, though.
**[09:32] ---**
Thank you. I'll try to use it.
**[09:47] ---**
It looks like the battles are still going on.
**[09:49] ---**
But I don't see Leo.
**[09:53] ---**
He's probably hiding somewhere
in Astral Spirytus.
**[09:58] ---**
Actually, there's one more
thing that bothers me.
**[10:01] ---**
What is it?
**[10:03] ---**
The Celestial Spirits who appeared
before us were Zodiac spirits,
**[10:09] ---**
but I also had the preconceived notion
that there were only 12 of them.
**[10:13] ---**
Actually, there should be one more around,
the Serpent Bearer Celestial Spirit.
**[10:20] ---**
That's right...
**[10:21] ---**
What is the Serpent Bearer
Celestial Spirit trying to do?
**[10:26] ---**
Maybe that's the key to everything.
That's the feeling I get.
**[10:33] ---**
I'm a Celestial Spirit Wizard myself.
**[10:35] ---**
Besides, I'm responsible for
creating this situation.
**[10:40] ---**
I have to do something to solve it fast.
**[10:43] ---**
Princess...
**[10:48] ---**
Don't hide! Come out and play!
**[10:51] ---**
This isn't fun!
**[10:53] ---**
Come out, or I'll make the
punishment ten times worse!
**[10:58] ---**
I don't want to fight Virgo.
**[11:01] ---**
But she's right that hiding
like this accomplishes nothing.
**[11:06] ---**
Mayo! Mayo!
**[11:21] ---**
This would be the best room to hide in.
**[11:35] ---**
Crap!
**[11:36] ---**
I have no intention of
letting you shut the gate!
**[11:40] ---**
I'm gonna take that key!
**[11:45] ---**
Etoile Whip!
**[11:56] ---**
This is the one thing I can't let her have!
**[11:58] ---**
I'll save the mayo for later!
**[12:14] ---**
It's about time for you to say your prayers!
**[12:17] ---**
I didn't want to fight you if I could
help it, but you've given me no choice.
**[12:23] ---**
I'll fight! For your sake!
**[12:27] ---**
Sagittarius, there's something I want
to ask you before we begin our fight.
**[12:32] ---**
What is it?
**[12:34] ---**
I've heard that even if you succeed with
the Liberum rite and attain freedom,
**[12:38] ---**
you'll only receive a mere 12 days.
**[12:43] ---**
After that, you'll die.
**[12:47] ---**
Even so, do you still seek
freedom, Sagittarius?
**[12:51] ---**
Even if it is only 12 days,
**[12:54] ---**
if I gain the freedom of release from a
human's contract, then I will have no regrets.
**[13:00] ---**
Before you changed into
these forms, all of you
**[13:04] ---**
were bound to Lucy by a friendship
that transcended contracts.
**[13:06] ---**
Don't you think you're making a mistake?
**[13:10] ---**
I have no memories of the past.
**[13:12] ---**
Right now, friendship with a human
only sounds like a falsehood to us.
**[13:18] ---**
Even now, Lucy wants to save all of you!
**[13:22] ---**
Say what you will, I will not be stopped now!
**[13:26] ---**
That is the way of the warrior!
**[13:30] ---**
You're immovable, huh?
**[13:31] ---**
There will be three matches.
**[13:34] ---**
Whoever wins two first is the victor. Agreed?
**[13:39] ---**
Yes!
**[13:41] ---**
The first match will be over there.
**[13:44] ---**
Horseback archery? Interesting.
**[13:51] ---**
Very nice. That is a beautiful steed.
**[13:55] ---**
Form is important in all things.
**[13:57] ---**
Now, let us have a fair field with no favoritism.
**[14:01] ---**
That is the way of the warrior!
**[14:06] ---**
I will go first.
**[14:12] ---**
Not bad.
**[14:13] ---**
It is your turn next.
**[14:24] ---**
I lost this one.
**[14:28] ---**
You're being a good sport about it.
**[14:30] ---**
I, who desired this match, will not behave
disgracefully. That is the way of the warrior.
**[14:35] ---**
However, there are two matches left!
This showdown is still up in the air!
**[14:52] ---**
So the second match is about speed.
**[14:54] ---**
Indeed. The one who races to the
finish line first is the winner.
**[15:00] ---**
Then on your mark, get set...
**[15:04] ---**
Go!
**[15:08] ---**
He's fast!
**[15:10] ---**
This weight puts me at a disadvantage...
**[15:12] ---**
Goal!
**[15:17] ---**
I'm impressed. And I'm happy to compete
against a worthy opponent.
**[15:21] ---**
I am thankful for the praise,
**[15:23] ---**
but it is still one to one.
**[15:26] ---**
The third match is... this!
**[15:30] ---**
A competition between two armed warriors
on horseback. This is the decisive battle.
**[15:35] ---**
Land mines are buried here
and there on this beach.
**[15:40] ---**
I do not know their exact locations myself.
**[15:43] ---**
Let us both be careful.
**[15:46] ---**
I appreciate the warning. Then I'll also...
**[15:50] ---**
Begin!
**[15:51] ---**
Here I come!
**[16:08] ---**
You parried well! But how about this?!
**[16:17] ---**
Is it not getting harder to hold that lance?
**[16:25] ---**
You are skilled. But not as skilled as me!
**[16:33] ---**
If you come at me with strength,
then I'll use speed to win!
**[16:39] ---**
This is mine!
**[16:50] ---**
Losing your steed guarantees inevitable
defeat! Have the good grace to surrender.
**[16:55] ---**
This is nothing!
**[17:11] ---**
Moving carelessly will only make
you fall prey to the mines!
**[17:18] ---**
He's not supposed to know where
the land mines are, either.
**[17:21] ---**
So why isn't he setting any of them off?!
**[17:24] ---**
Horses are very sensitive animals!
**[17:27] ---**
My wild animal instincts help me
dodge the explosives!
**[17:33] ---**
Oh, no!
**[17:34] ---**
No steed, no weapon,
and surrounded by land mines.
**[17:38] ---**
You dare not even take one step!
**[17:41] ---**
No, there is one place
I can go. A safe place.
**[17:47] ---**
That's...
**[17:49] ---**
...on your back!
**[17:51] ---**
How insolent! I do not care to have
women riding on my back!
**[17:57] ---**
This isn't working with my heavy armor!
**[18:01] ---**
It's easier to ride this way!
**[18:03] ---**
Get down! Get down, I say!
**[18:06] ---**
If I get down, I'll step on another land mine!
You're stuck with me for the time being!
**[18:14] ---**
Run, run! Full speed ahead!
**[18:24] ---**
I believe we're in the clear.
**[18:39] ---**
There are still mines here...
**[18:44] ---**
That's the game, Sagittarius.
**[18:48] ---**
You not only beat me, you rode on my back.
**[18:53] ---**
I am completely defeated.
**[18:55] ---**
I will not act disgracefully.
Do as you will to me.
**[18:59] ---**
Eventually, we'll have the chance
to compete against each other again.
**[19:03] ---**
I hope when that time comes,
you'll be back to your original self.
**[19:07] ---**
I'll close the gate.
**[19:16] ---**
Are Natsu and the others okay?
**[19:22] ---**
What's this?
**[19:23] ---**
An operating table?!
**[19:25] ---**
It isn't just any old operating table-denasu!
**[19:28] ---**
It's an operating table that can strap
down the patients itself-denasu!
**[19:33] ---**
Wendy! Carla!
**[19:34] ---**
What are you going to do?!
**[19:36] ---**
I can't move!
**[19:38] ---**
It's your turn next-denasu!
**[19:41] ---**
Natsu-san! Happy!
**[19:43] ---**
Dodge it!
**[19:45] ---**
This two-bit contraption ain't gettin' me!
**[19:47] ---**
How naive-denasu!
**[19:53] ---**
I told you before. As the
administrator of Astral Spirytus,
**[19:57] ---**
I can control anything here-denasu!
**[20:02] ---**
Natsu!
**[20:06] ---**
Uh oh-denasu!
**[20:07] ---**
Happy, charge!
**[20:10] ---**
Roger!
**[20:11] ---**
Iron Fist of the Fire Dragon!
**[20:16] ---**
Thank you, Natsu-san!
**[20:17] ---**
You saved us. I don't want that psycho
nurse performing surgery on me!
**[20:23] ---**
In that case...
**[20:24] ---**
That's enough, Ophiuchus!
**[20:31] ---**
Loke!
**[20:32] ---**
You finally came out!
**[20:34] ---**
The ceremony is ready to go.
**[20:37] ---**
There's no need to hold them up any longer.
**[20:40] ---**
You can go.
**[20:42] ---**
Understood. See you later.
**[20:45] ---**
Ready to go?
**[20:47] ---**
Unfortunately,
**[20:48] ---**
I'm sure your comrades are being sent back
to the Celestial Spirit World just about now.
**[20:52] ---**
You can't do the ceremony!
**[20:59] ---**
Now what's happening?!
**[21:02] ---**
The power of darkness gave me
another chance at Liberum!
**[21:06] ---**
No matter how many times
you try to discourage us,
**[21:08] ---**
our will that seeks freedom is
indomitable and thus indestructible!
**[21:15] ---**
I shall throw off my yoke of oppression,
**[21:17] ---**
grasp true freedom with my own hands,
**[21:20] ---**
and rise up again and again!
**[21:22] ---**
What the...?!
**[21:23] ---**
Outside? But this smell...
**[21:26] ---**
He keeps changin' the location!
**[21:28] ---**
Ophiuchus! Show them your true form!
**[21:33] ---**
True form?
**[21:35] ---**
H-Huh?
**[21:40] ---**
So I guess this is another way
she oversees this place, huh?
**[21:43] ---**
That's right. I'm Ophiuchus,
the Serpent Bearer,
**[21:47] ---**
and this, becoming one with
a serpent, is my true form.
**[21:51] ---**
But also, Astral Spirytus and
everything in it is my body!
**[21:57] ---**
You have been battling inside
my body all this time.
**[22:01] ---**
Everything is going exactly as we planned it.
**[22:07] ---**
Liberum is the ceremony that releases
Celestial Spirits from their contracts with humans!
**[22:12] ---**
And this time we are going to complete it!
**[22:16] ---**
You are diligent in everything...
**[22:20] ---**
...king of the Celestial Spirits.
**[23:55] ---**
Wha..?! Ophiuchus merged with a snake!
**[23:59] ---**
Natsu, what should we do?!
How can we fight that giant thing?!
**[24:03] ---**
Calm down, Happy! Loke's the priority here!
I'm gonna kick his ass and stop the ceremony!
**[24:08] ---**
That's right! We have to
stop Liberum first, right?
**[24:10] ---**
Let's go, Happy! I'm gonna have it out
once and for all with Loke!
**[24:13] ---**
Aye, sir!
**[24:15] ---**
Next time: Natsu vs. Leon!
**[24:17] ---**
I'm gonna stop the ceremony!
Bring Loke back to normal!
**[24:19] ---**
And tie up all the loose ends!
**[24:21] ---**
Do it, Natsu!
