**[00:23] ---**
Someone has escaped Alegria's clutches?
**[00:31] ---**
Ow!
**[00:36] ---**
What is this? What happened?
**[00:40] ---**
The odds are about a billion to one.
**[00:44] ---**
What luck...
**[00:46] ---**
Or rather,
**[00:48] ---**
bad luck, for someone to be
left alone in the Underworld.
**[02:30] ---**
What happened?
**[02:32] ---**
Natsu! Where are you?!
***SIGN*** Tartaros Arc: Attack of the Celestials
**[03:18] ---**
What is that gigantic thing?!
**[03:20] ---**
A giant monster?!
**[03:23] ---**
Did that destroy the guild?
**[03:56] ---**
Kardia Cathedral!
**[04:03] ---**
Run!
**[04:08] ---**
It's destroying the town!
**[04:18] ---**
What's that sound?!
**[04:20] ---**
Members of Tartaros...
**[04:23] ---**
Alegria has disposed of the intruders.
**[04:28] ---**
The Face project is proceeding on schedule.
**[04:33] ---**
King of the Underworld! Hooray!
**[04:36] ---**
Disposed of the intruders?!
**[04:39] ---**
And didn't Wendy stop the Face project?!
**[04:50] ---**
What is this?!
**[04:51] ---**
However...
**[04:53] ---**
...it seems one human
has somehow escaped Alegria.
**[04:58] ---**
The soldier who kills her
**[05:01] ---**
shall fill the vacant position
in the Nine Demon Gates.
**[05:04] ---**
Seriously?!
**[05:05] ---**
I'll become one of the Nine Demon Gates!
**[05:07] ---**
If one of the Nine Demon Gates
murders her,
**[05:10] ---**
they will be rewarded by
Mard Geer. That is all.
**[05:14] ---**
I don't really know what happened,
**[05:16] ---**
but everyone's alive, right?
I have to believe that!
**[05:20] ---**
I found her!
**[05:22] ---**
Human!
**[05:24] ---**
I'll take her out!
**[05:26] ---**
We'll see about that!
**[05:40] ---**
There she is!
**[05:41] ---**
Advance!
**[05:44] ---**
Take this!
**[05:57] ---**
You...!
**[05:58] ---**
Gate of the Archer, I open thee!
**[06:02] ---**
Sagittarius!
**[06:14] ---**
Promotion! Promotion! I'll join
the ranks of the Nine Demon Gates!
**[06:17] ---**
I'll take care of this one!
**[06:20] ---**
My arrows!
**[06:22] ---**
Projectiles don't work
against my slippery Curse!
**[06:25] ---**
See?!
**[06:28] ---**
I close Sagittarius's gate!
**[06:31] ---**
Gate of the Maiden, I open thee!
**[06:35] ---**
Virgo!
**[06:37] ---**
Leave her to me, Princess!
**[06:39] ---**
What the hell?! You're a maid?! And your
character's like a duplicate of mine!
**[06:43] ---**
How so?
**[06:46] ---**
Princess! Something's coming!
**[06:49] ---**
Gate of the Lion, I open thee!
**[06:52] ---**
Loke!
**[06:54] ---**
You face my blade empty-handed?
**[06:56] ---**
I'm surprised that the power of
Regulus can't fully protect me.
**[07:01] ---**
Are you okay, Loke?!
**[07:03] ---**
Fine, fine.
**[07:05] ---**
Whoa, a hottie!
**[07:07] ---**
And how is it that you think
our characters overlap?
**[07:09] ---**
Torafuzar-sama, please let
Lamy do the meritorious deed!
**[07:13] ---**
I'm not interested in meritorious deeds!
**[07:16] ---**
I'm just here to carry out a mission!
**[07:18] ---**
Lucy, leave this one to me!
**[07:31] ---**
Simultaneous release...
Looks like it's hard on her.
**[07:34] ---**
Especially because you and I
use a lot of magic, Virgo.
**[07:39] ---**
For Lucy's sake...
**[07:41] ---**
For the princess's sake...
**[07:43] ---**
...let's finish this!
**[07:44] ---**
...let's make this quick!
**[07:50] ---**
I found her!
**[07:58] ---**
Jackal-kun?!
**[07:59] ---**
A third one?!
**[08:01] ---**
This is bad!
**[08:02] ---**
You're not going anywhere!
**[08:04] ---**
What's this? She's not alone.
**[08:07] ---**
Oh, well.
**[08:09] ---**
I thought he blew up!
**[08:12] ---**
I see...
**[08:13] ---**
We can be resurrected again and again.
**[08:15] ---**
As long as we've got the lab, we can be reborn
endlessly. We're functionally immortal!
**[08:22] ---**
Even Natsu had a
hard time against him.
**[08:24] ---**
But I can't summon any more
Celestial Spirits!
**[08:27] ---**
I have to do this myself!
**[08:35] ---**
You haven't forgotten
about my Curse, have you?
**[08:45] ---**
Lucy!
**[08:46] ---**
Princess!
**[08:49] ---**
What happened to my friends?!
**[09:02] ---**
Don't play. If you're going
to kill her, just do it.
**[09:05] ---**
The fireball and the blue cat
are already dead.
**[09:08] ---**
The only way I can temper this
irritation is by tormenting
**[09:12] ---**
the last one left, this woman!
**[09:14] ---**
Princess!
**[09:15] ---**
Even though summoning us
is already a drain on her magic...
**[09:21] ---**
They're not dead...
**[09:24] ---**
Everyone's alive!
**[09:29] ---**
I feel everyone's magic!
**[09:40] ---**
Lucy!
**[09:42] ---**
They all saved me time and time again.
**[09:45] ---**
Don't die yet!
**[09:49] ---**
Now it's my turn to save them!
**[09:52] ---**
There!
**[09:57] ---**
Lucy!
**[10:00] ---**
I will not give in!
**[10:02] ---**
I won't!
**[10:05] ---**
Not until I save everyone...
**[10:12] ---**
Princess! You mustn't! That's...
**[10:15] ---**
Gate of the Water Bearer, I open thee!
**[10:18] ---**
Aquarius!
**[10:20] ---**
The princess's body can't withstand it!
**[10:22] ---**
Keeping three gates open at once?!
**[10:32] ---**
Please...
**[10:44] ---**
Idiot...
**[11:03] ---**
Lucy!
**[11:04] ---**
Princess!
**[11:11] ---**
You came...
**[11:14] ---**
I'll say it one more time.
**[11:16] ---**
You're an idiot.
**[11:19] ---**
I know...
**[11:23] ---**
Who's that?!
**[11:24] ---**
My...
**[11:26] ---**
Get back, little girl!
**[11:38] ---**
Lucy, that's enough!
**[11:39] ---**
Please, here's your chance
to close one of the gates!
**[11:45] ---**
He's swimming through my water?
**[11:48] ---**
This is my element!
**[11:55] ---**
Aquarius!
**[11:56] ---**
Dammit!
**[11:57] ---**
I'm on my way!
**[11:59] ---**
No, you aren't!
**[12:00] ---**
Crap...
**[12:06] ---**
Loke! Virgo!
**[12:13] ---**
With just one blow...
**[12:17] ---**
I'm sorry, Lucy...
**[12:29] ---**
What, summoning three at once
was her trump card?
**[12:33] ---**
But she used up so much magic that it
looks like she can't even move now.
**[12:41] ---**
I'll kill her with one strike.
**[12:43] ---**
That's boring.
**[12:45] ---**
That's right! We've got to draw it out!
**[12:48] ---**
But I get the credit for the kill!
**[12:52] ---**
I can't let it end here.
**[12:55] ---**
I've got to save everyone!
**[12:58] ---**
I've got to...
**[13:10] ---**
What's that pathetic face?!
**[13:18] ---**
Enough!
**[13:20] ---**
If you won't do it, I will.
**[13:23] ---**
Whose side are you on?
**[13:26] ---**
I could always start with you.
**[13:33] ---**
This is going nowhere. Do what you want.
**[13:38] ---**
You don't have to tell me that!
**[13:39] ---**
What should we do next, Jackal-kun?
**[13:42] ---**
I suggest blowing up these bazoombas!
**[13:54] ---**
Boom! Boom!
**[13:57] ---**
Boom...
**[14:05] ---**
You annoy me.
**[14:09] ---**
Your own comrade...
**[14:12] ---**
Never mind her. Imagine what
I'm going to do to you.
**[14:17] ---**
Let's have some fun.
**[14:23] ---**
What the...?!
**[14:33] ---**
Aquarius...
**[14:35] ---**
This water can't...
**[14:38] ---**
Lucy...
**[14:40] ---**
All I can do is slow him down.
**[14:43] ---**
It's the same with the other
Celestial Spirits.
**[14:46] ---**
They're too strong.
**[14:48] ---**
Yeah...
**[14:49] ---**
But I'm not saying you don't have a chance.
**[14:53] ---**
I can only keep him at bay
for a short period of time.
**[14:57] ---**
Listen to me, Lucy.
**[15:00] ---**
Any Celestial Spirit wizard who can summon
three spirits at once can do this.
**[15:06] ---**
Summon the Celestial Spirit King!
**[15:11] ---**
Celestial Spirit King...?
**[15:13] ---**
As you know, he's the most powerful
Celestial Spirit in our world.
**[15:17] ---**
He can annihilate the enemy
with one celestial strike.
**[15:21] ---**
But I don't have his key.
**[15:25] ---**
There is no physical key for
the Celestial Spirit King.
**[15:28] ---**
But his gate can be opened
with a special kind of key.
**[15:33] ---**
Summoning with a price.
**[15:35] ---**
By destroying one of the gold keys,
**[15:38] ---**
you can open the
Celestial Spirit King's gate just once.
**[15:43] ---**
Destroy... a gold key?
**[15:47] ---**
What is this water?!
**[15:51] ---**
And not just any key will do.
**[15:54] ---**
If the bond between master and
Celestial Spirit isn't strong, the gate won't open.
**[16:00] ---**
I can't do that!
**[16:04] ---**
I won't! You're all dear friends,
and I couldn't bear to lose any...
**[16:08] ---**
Destroy my key.
**[16:11] ---**
I'm not sure if the degree of trust
that's required is there,
**[16:14] ---**
but we've known each other a long time,
so it should pass muster.
**[16:18] ---**
What are you saying?
**[16:21] ---**
Do it to save your friends!
**[16:23] ---**
You're one of my friends too, Aquarius!
**[16:25] ---**
I can't sacrifice one friend to save others!
**[16:29] ---**
There must be some other way!
**[16:32] ---**
I won't give up!
**[16:36] ---**
If there were some other way,
do you think I would propose this?!
**[16:42] ---**
This is the only way...
**[16:44] ---**
No!
**[16:46] ---**
I won't do it!
**[16:51] ---**
Lucy, there's no time...
**[16:53] ---**
I don't have any strength left...
**[16:56] ---**
I won't do it!
**[16:57] ---**
Destroying my key doesn't mean I'll die.
**[17:02] ---**
It just mean... we'll never be
able to see each other again.
**[17:06] ---**
I couldn't stand that...
**[17:08] ---**
For me, it's more like good riddance.
**[17:14] ---**
In the first place, I was your
mother's Celestial Spirit. Layla.
**[17:19] ---**
When Layla died, her keys
were passed on to you.
**[17:23] ---**
I was so disappointed.
**[17:25] ---**
You were a crybaby, a brat,
and woefully ignorant.
**[17:29] ---**
You had none of Layla's grace.
**[17:33] ---**
But you are her daughter,
so I've endured it all this time.
**[17:38] ---**
All these years...
**[17:41] ---**
...I've hated you.
**[17:45] ---**
You can hate me, I don't care!
I love you, Aquarius!
**[17:50] ---**
You were my first friend... My...
**[17:53] ---**
How long are you going to
act like a spoiled child?!
**[17:56] ---**
Right now, you're the only one
who can save your comrades!
**[18:01] ---**
What's important, memories?!
The keys?! A feeling of guilt?!
**[18:06] ---**
No! It's the power to save your friends!
**[18:10] ---**
The power of a Celestial Spirit wizard!
**[18:12] ---**
Do it! Destroy my key!
**[18:16] ---**
You're the only one who can do it!
**[18:20] ---**
I don't know what you're squabbling about,
but you're in range now!
**[18:26] ---**
I...
**[18:28] ---**
...love you, Aquarius.
**[18:30] ---**
Do it! Lucy!!
**[18:38] ---**
There's a burning in my chest...
**[18:45] ---**
Even though I hate this little girl...
**[18:51] ---**
Open!
**[18:53] ---**
A mermaid! A mermaid!
**[18:55] ---**
Even though I hate her...
**[18:57] ---**
Gate of the Celestial Spirit King!
**[18:59] ---**
...I can't...
**[19:00] ---**
It's no sin to have
feelings for your friends!
**[19:04] ---**
We are!
**[19:06] ---**
Scorpio!
**[19:10] ---**
You'll never in a million years be able
to attract a man by wearing a swimsuit!
**[19:14] ---**
Make me laugh!
**[19:18] ---**
I can't stop the feelings...
**[19:29] ---**
Come on! Splash me, Aquarius!
**[19:32] ---**
Don't summon me every time
you take a bath, little girl!
**[19:37] ---**
I'm sorry!
**[19:45] ---**
How many times do I have to tell you?!
**[19:47] ---**
Don't summon me from the goldfish
bowl! That's for the goldfish!
**[19:51] ---**
It's got a tail!
**[19:54] ---**
You've got a tail too, Aquarius!
**[19:57] ---**
You summon me from a goldfish bowl,
and then quibble on top of it?!
**[20:01] ---**
Nitwit!
**[20:02] ---**
What's "quibble"?
**[20:06] ---**
Jeez. Play with human kids once in a while!
**[20:12] ---**
There aren't any here.
**[20:14] ---**
That's why I'm lonely.
**[20:19] ---**
I'm happy when you come here,
even when you're angry at me.
**[20:22] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[20:24] ---**
Tch!
**[20:32] ---**
You're not lonely anymore, right?
**[20:35] ---**
Right.
**[20:37] ---**
I really do appreciate it.
**[20:41] ---**
Being able to meet all of you...
**[20:44] ---**
We won't be able to see each other anymore.
**[20:49] ---**
I'll miss you...
**[20:51] ---**
...Lucy.
**[20:52] ---**
Gate of the Celestial Spirit King!
**[20:58] ---**
You've done more for me than you know.
**[21:01] ---**
Thank you.
**[21:11] ---**
The water disappeared!
**[21:36] ---**
What is it?!
**[21:38] ---**
Something's cut through Plutogrim?!
**[21:47] ---**
Woman, what did you do?!
**[23:55] ---**
Lucy summoned the Celestial Spirit King,
**[23:58] ---**
but paid a dear price for it.
**[24:00] ---**
Mard Geer, the King of the Underworld,
retains his confidence
**[24:04] ---**
as he faces that giant presence.
**[24:07] ---**
The curtain rises on the tremendous battle
of two beings beyond human understanding.
**[24:11] ---**
Meanwhile, Lucy hardens her heart
**[24:14] ---**
and swallows her tears to confront Jackal!
**[24:17] ---**
Next time: Tartaros Arc:
Celestial Spirit King Versus Underworld King!

Now is the time to fight!
