Let us beg the darkness.
We wish to turn the brilliance of the 12 signs of the zodiac pitch-black
and cut the ties between the heavens, Earthland, and humans.
Our souls desire true freedom!
Liberum!
Hey, not yet?
I'm sorry. It still lies ahead.
My feet hurt...
In the first place, we're not dressed for hiking in the mountains.
It's easy-peasy for me, since I've got wings!
Princess, hang in there!
I'm fine.
This mist is the entrance to Astral Spirytus.
This is the entrance?
Since ancient times, of those who have climbed this mountain seeking Astral Spirytus,
most adventurers have vanished without a trace.
Supposedly, they were looking for the source of Celestial Spirit Magic,
but most of those who were enveloped in this mist never returned,
while the ones who survived abandoned their quest.
They didn't return...
Were they eaten?
They're only rumors. But we must proceed...
Okay, the keys, you two.
The keys will lead us down the right path.
Let's go.
Astral Spirytus!
King of darkness, king of stars, king of eternity!
Undo the ties of our souls, bound by celestial spheres,
and cast us loose into the sky of unlimited time.
Brethren, who are connected to the stars as am I.
Let us burn through our bond to the mortal world with flames from the darkness.
Henceforth, we shall only follow the light of Liberum!
Black flames filled with fate,
give our souls true brilliance!
At last.
Oh, no, you don't!
How dare you interfere?!
You guys...
Here they are!
The Celestial Spirits!
What about the celestial sphere ritual?!
It looks like they're not in the mood to answer you.
Everyone, stop this! There's no such thing as "absolute freedom"!
Even if you succeed with Liberum, you'll only be free for 12 days!
After that, you'll all...
We know.
You know?!
You knew, but you're still...?
It's only 12 days!
12 days is plenty of time.
You people don't understand the meaning of freedom.
What?
Celestial Spirits are doomed to enslavement by humans.
Even though we are much more powerful than humans!
But we are going to demolish this fate.
For that sake, we don't care what happens to our lives!
I don't want to lose all of you!
I've never thought of you as my slaves!
I thought of you as friends!
Silence, woman!
These dweebs can't do anything to us-zura!
The keys that can force the gates to close are right here-zura!
Zura?!
What is this?!
Too bad, kappa bastard!
You were taken in by a fake!
The real ones are right here.
Fakes? Well done!
Don't compliment them, old hag!
You shouldn't talk to your mother like that, sonny!
You're making me cry!
Here we go again...
Gem Ini
Piri-piri!
I'm sorry, Brother Lion!
Punishment time!
If you're going to punish anyone, punish me!
Be quiet already, you moorons.
What do you think, Leo-sama?
If it's necessary, we're willing to use brute force to take them out.
Let's do it! We outnumber them! We'll crush 'em!
Count Aquarius in!
Punishment time!
They're helpless. Now is the time to act.
Humans. Would you steal our freedom by forcibly closing the gates?
No! We're doing this for your sake!
Your words greatly displease me!
Mooo!
Kappa!
Let's go, Natsu-dono!
Yeah!
Solid Script! Thunder!
You're holding back. Why don't you attack us directly?
Yeah! It doesn't mean anything unless we fight 'til one side is pulped!
Lucy-sama... What should we do?
This is pointless!
I don't want to fight any of you! Come to your senses!
We came to our senses. That's why we want freedom!
Natsu!
You're annoying.
Natsu!
Everyone!
How did you catch up to us?
Are you all okay?
Yes!
Mooore of them? This is increasingly unpleasant.
No fair-zura!
It pisses me off...
It's thanks to Warren.
Warren?!
His telepathy, right?
Yeah. He used his power to track you down,
and we climbed the mountain to get here.
I'm grateful for it!
He's become like our base station.
Telepathy isn't flashy, but it sure comes in handy!
This is Astral Spirytus. They haven't accomplished Liberum yet though, right?
Right!
I've always wanted to try having a slugfest with Celestial Spirits.
Trading blows isn't the focus here, Gajeel.
Shut up! I know that!
Hey, Natsu. Here's where I pay you back for saving me.
Do what you want.
Gray-sama is so courageous!
Loke! Now we can go one on one!
But is it necessary to take off your clothes?
I'll destroy you!
If you want to stop us, you'll have to follow us.
Show us your own craving for freedom!
Loke!
Bastard!
Please wait!
I'll entrust each of us with one key.
They're charged with Celestial Spirit Magic,
so now all of you will be able to close the gates at will.
Give me Loke's!
I'll take Loke's...
The way he is now, he won't listen to anyone.
This is the only thing he'll understand.
Don't go too far. He's a precious friend of mine.
I know.
Here. The key of the Lion.
This is the space between the Human World and the Celestial Spirit World.
I don't know what will happen, so be careful.
All right! Let's go, Happy!
Aye, sir!
Princess Hisui, I promise we will succeed in closing the gates.
Please do.
Let's go after them!
Right!
Where am I?
Virgo!
It's just as I expected.
I figured you would come, Lucy Heartfilia.
What kind of joke is this?
It's a recreation of a battle from a better age.
Battle?!
It's all papier mache, isn't it?
Fake it 'til you make it.
Now then, best two out of three.
We just have to shoot those down, right?
Humans and Celestial Spirits...
There needs to be a balance.
Balance? What do you mean, Libra?
Battle Colosseum, open.
W-What is this?
I heard you were good at cards? Then fight me.
You start with six cards in your hand.
Wait, um...
Hurry up!
All right, fine!
Hey, I don't know...
Guild Battle, on!
Say what?
It's the Scorpion's turn! Draw sequence!
Are you ready?
Yeah, right! I don't even know the rules!
I am the rules.
I don't even know what that means!
Strange place...
Kani, kani, aye! Kani, aye-aye!
There you are, Crab!
I've been waiting for you-kani!
So, come on, let's bump hot spirits-kani!
Let's dance-kani!
It's hot...
And nobody else is around.
Aries! Come out!
What is this? I can't get up.
What the heck is this?!
All right, shall we begin the showdown?
Showdown?
It's called Celestial Spirit Quiz!
A quiz?!
Correct. A voice from above is going to present us with a quiz.
There will be ten questions.
When they're all done, the winner will gain perfect freedom,
and the loser will be subjected to something unbearable.
W-What is "something unbearable"? Wait, why are we doing a quiz?
Because I enjoy quizzes. Now then...
Fairy Tail Cult Quiz! Question number one!
What the hell? A heap of rocks...
They're ruins, Natsu.
I'll tell you one thing.
There's no way you could've forgotten about Lucy.
If you spirits pull a fade, she'll cry.
An amusement park, huh, Carla?
What's going on here?
Hi!
There you are, Aquarius!
Let's play!
A place like this is inside the portal?
You're a good swimmer!
Hey there, guild girl! Let's swim together-zura!
Piri! Here I am!
Piri! Over here!
I've never felt so irritated!
I have no idea what they're gonna do.
Piri-piri! These two are no fun at all!
No fun, no fun!
Piri-piri! Piri!
What is this power?!
Doesn't this feel like the perfect place for a fight between two men?
Mooo! Can I construe that as a compliment?
Although if I get to let loose, I don't care where I fight!
Let's wrap this up quickly. Despite appearances, I'm actually rather busy.
How did I miss?!
Mooo! Being muscular isn't all it's cracked up to be.
You got a mouth on you. Then how about this?!
Beast Soul!
Mooo! A beast? How vulgar.
You're a cow, too!
Turning into a beast doesn't change anything.
You're just wasting your time.
When a Man is fighting with the gloves off,
you don't casually read a book!
Mooo! Your fight lacks intellect.
That's why you're so clumsy.
You should train your brain rather than your brawn.
Although it's too late for that now...
You see, I'm going to consign you to oblivion.
Mooo. That was too easy.
It didn't work.
Mooo!
Mooo?!
W-What did you do to me?! That was nasty! Dirty! Filthy!
Sweat?!
The stench! The stains!
Drink a Man's sweat!
Mooo! How unhygienic!
Shut up!
Mooo!
Mooo! Stop it! That sweat is vile!
Put a cork in it!
No! I want to be free! Mooo!
I did it.
Man!
The Bull is the first one down.
Yes. This is what I expected from a Fairy Tail wizard.
Celestial Spirits, please. Come to your senses.
Natsu, look! An amusement park!
Just looking at it makes me feel sick!
That's right, Dragon Slayers tend to have motion sickness.
Can't we do somethin' about it?
I've got it! I'll cure you with hypnosis!
You can do that?!
You won't feel nausea, you won't feel nausea...
I think I'm cured...
It was just a thought!
Yeah, right?
Next time: Wendy vs. Aquarius! Let's Have Fun at the Amusement Park!
I thought it would work, since you're so simple.
That's a terrible thing to say, Happy.
