It is all for you, my king.
This series of events isn't about the Celestial Spirits' genuine wish...
It's about the Celestial Spirit King?
Then even the Celestial Spirit King has gone insane?
The Celestial Spirit King planned all this, didn't he?
If that's the case, there's only one thing to do.
If we kick the Celestial Spirit King's ass, this'll all be over.
Are you humans capable of such a thing?
I shall protect the Celestial Spirit King.
Me, Ophiuchus the Serpent Bearer!
The 13th Celestial Spirit that lurks in the shadow of the Celestial Spirit King!
Never underestimate a Dragon Slayer!
88 stars of the heavens... Shine on!
Urano Metria!
I was waiting for this moment, when you desperately sealed away all of them.
Now all 12 Celestial Spirits are back with the Celestial Spirit King!
The red light coming from the celestial globe
is reaching the Celestial Spirit King by way of the constellations.
From the start, this rite was to funnel the powerful energy to the Celestial Spirit King.
Liberum Verus!
After being eclipsed, the mighty Celestial Spirit King
was able to command great power, but he required even greater power.
The 12 Zodiac Celestial Spirits feared that power
and tried to flee the Celestial Spirit World.
By obtaining a mere 12 days of freedom, that is, "life."
I saw this as an opportunity to give the Celestial Spirit King even more power,
and came up with this scheme.
The Celestial Spirit King is out of control...
And by trying to protect the Celestial Spirits, we backed them into a corner?
I hate to say it, but the Celestial Spirits were trying to escape,
and we sent them back to the Celestial Spirit World with its rampaging king.
Oh, no...
That's not all.
If the eclipsed king continues to accumulate power and wreak havoc,
he'll destroy the Celestial Spirit World until there's nothing left.
Pitiful! Trying the same thing again and again!
Celestial Spirit Beast!
Did we do it?
The celestial spirit globe...
The red light's disappeared...
Is it over?
How was that, snake-sucker? You don't underestimate Fairy Tail.
Targeting my instrument... wasn't fair-denasu...
Look, Natsu!
The 12 constellations are disappearing!
All right!
We did it!
Hey! You guys okay?!
Natsu!
Princess, are you unharmed?
I'm fine.
The constellations are gone!
Then Loke and the others will go back to normal, right?
I have a feeling it won't be that easy.
I still don't feel anything from their keys.
Move away!
Hey! What the hell's goin' on here?!
Oh! You're here, Gray?
Don't talk like an idiot as soon as you see me!
Everyone!
Lu-chan!
So what happened to the giant snake?
She wasn't so tough!
I helped beat her!
What happened to the 12 Zodiac Celestial Spirits?
If we don't see 'em here, then...
Right. We succeeded in shutting the gate on all of them.
But they still haven't gone back to their original forms.
Don't give up. This ain't over yet.
That's right! Things will work out.
I think we should organize all the information we have.
Let's all think of a way together!
First, we've got to escape from here.
Noisy!
What is that sound?
It sounds like a roar!
Hey! We're not on stable ground!
It's coming apart!
Maybe we did too much damage to it earlier...
Who wrecked the joint like this?!
Probably the one who has no concept of holding anything back!
Are you talking about me?
Let's just get the hell outta here!
Good thinking, but how do we get out?!
When we came here...
I-It was by holding up a key and using magic...
Could this be the Celestial Spirit King's roar?
It sounds like he's hearty... or maybe more like savage...
Then we were too late...
...to stop Liberum Verus?
Oh, no...
That is correct.
That's...
Lucy's Celestial Spirit!
Lucy-sama...
Horologium!
At this rate, the Celestial Spirit World will be wiped out...
Please...
That's Celestial Spirit clothing.
The stuff that lets humans move around in the Celestial Spirit World?
What's it doing here?
I'll save you. I swear, I'll save you all!
I'll go, too!
Yukino!
Me, too!
Wait, Princess!
Time flows differently in the Celestial Spirit World.
I know.
I cannot let you go to such a world, Princess!
Even if you can come back, years could've passed here...
My mind is set!
Princess!
We'll all be with her. And we'll make it work somehow. So don't worry.
That voice...
I'm going because I can hear it.
But...
As long as I can hear that roar, my atonement won't be over!
Princess...
This is no time for arguing!
Yes. We have to go.
That's a Man!
The time difference or whatever doesn't matter!
Loke and the others are in a bad jam. That's why we're going. It's simple.
Right, Lucy?
Natsu...
Then it's settled. Even if 100 years have passed here by the time we get back...
...as long as we're with our comrades, there is nothing to fear.
As long as Juvia can be with Gray-sama, 100 years in the past would be fine, too.
After all, we got over the seven-year gap somehow.
I don't care what period I'm in, as long as I get to run amok.
Ditto!
I'm sure Lisanna will understand.
She's an outstanding Man. I'm sure she and the others will take care of things here.
I don't know if I should interject here...
The Celestial Spirit King is going to absorb this Astral Spirytus very shortly!
Please change into the Celestial Spirit clothes and journey to my world!
Understood. Princess, I am your sword and shield.
Let us go together.
Thank you.
Everyone else, wait for us!
We're on our way! You'd better not try to escape, beardie!
This is the Celestial Spirit World?
The wind is so strong...
It's totally different from the last time we were here.
If I don't hang on to something for dear life, I'm gonna be blown away!
Lucy-sama!
Huh?
Horologium!
What is that gigantic thing?!
Hey, don't tell me that's...
M-Man!
No way...
That's... the Celestial Spirit King?!
I've never seen anything so eerie...
That's not the Celestial Spirit King I know!
The eclipsed Celestial Spirit King...
No... More like the Celestial Spirit Beast...
Hey, look! Around its head part!
It doesn't have a beard!
That's not what she meant!
What? Celestial Spirits inside the planets...
Oh, no!
I guess it means they're captives?
Loke!
Everyone! We're coming to save you!
The suction effect stopped!
What the hell is that thing, getting full from sucking up the 12 Celestial Spirits?
N-No...
It's not over yet! Right now, let's beat the hell out of that thing!
Natsu's right. This is no time to grieve.
Let's go!
Yeah!
Ice Impact!
Water Slicer!
Dammit! It's not having any effect?!
We're not done!
Individual attacks aren't working! Let's all attack at the same time!
Beast Soul!
Let's go!
Card Magic!
Solid Script!
Thunder!
Bullet!
Ice Cannon!
Water Cannon!
Roar of the...
...Sky Dragon! ...Iron Dragon! ...Fire Dragon!
What is that?! It didn't have any effect on him!
It's about to do something! Be careful!
Ow!
Are you okay?
Y-Yes, thanks...
Sheesh! You gotta be more careful!
All of this, just by waving its arms...
Is everyone all right?
I blew the landing!
Don't hesitate! Again, everyone!
Yeah!
There has to be a way.
Maybe if we carefully watch what it does. But...
We can't let it flail around again! Aim for the arms!
Right, Gray-sama!
Juvia!
Gray... sama...
W-What? What just happened?!
It can do that...?
Juvia!
She became a constellation!
This is the same thing that happened to Loke and the others when we shut their gates?
That bastard!
How can we get them back to normal?
Maybe bringing that thing down will bring them back!
At the moment, there isn't anything else to do!
We have to bet everything on that.
What the...?!
Dammit... I was... careless...
Lily!
Gajeel...
Levy-chan!
You shouldn't have done that...
Roar of the Sky Dragon!
No!
Oh, no! Carla!
Crap! We can't let that light hit us!
How dare you do that to Carla?! Damn you!
Let's go, Happy!
Son of a... Now it's picking us off one by one?!
We must not advance carelessly!
Yukino!
Arcadios-sama!
Princess! Hide now, while you have the chance!
Natsu, look!
Shoot! I'm on my way, old man!
No...
What, you're not gonna stop 'til we're all stars?!
You're not gonna get away with this!
What are you gonna do, Natsu?!
What do you think?! I'm gonna kick its ass!
Is that even possible?
I-I don't believe it...
Salamander...
Dammit!
Natsu! You can't give in to anger!
It'll turn you into a constellation, too!
And if we don't hit it, nothing will happen!
Ice Make...
Dammit! What the hell are we supposed to do?!
Club of the Iron Dragon!
What the hell...?! I can't tell if it's hard or soft!
Whatever it is, I'm gonna beat it to a pulp!
Aye, sir!
He's right. Nothing will come of just standing and staring.
To get the Celestial Spirits and our friends who were turned into constellations back...
...we have to stop it!
Damn you... That's enough!
Everyone, watch out for that black thing!
You'll be sucked in if you let your guard down!
Don't get too close!
We'll deal with it...
No, there must be something I can do!
Okay, got it. But don't be reckless!
You too, Natsu!
Gotcha!
Sword of the Iron Dragon!
I'm gonna slice you like a fish!
Uh-oh...
Dammit! This thing's a pain in the ass!
Trip!
Happy, go up!
To his top?
Yeah!
Natsu! What are you gonna do?!
Do you have to keep askin'?!
I'm gonna punch it in the face!
Aye, sir!
Wake up, beardie!
Noisy!
What is this?!
Natsu!
N-Natsu... This is...
Yeah. It's the stuff that came out of Loke when we were fightin'.
Don't puke on us right after you suck stuff up!
The roar... of the Celestial Spirit Beast...
Gray!
Grab on!
This ain't nothin'!
Roar of the Iron Dragon!
Dammit... How powerful is that thing?
I-I didn't realize it'd be so...
Crap... Don't got much magic left in me...
Ow...
Everyone...
Natsu!
I smelled it...
Yeah.
Ouch... Okay, I can move.
If you can move... you can still stand.
If you can stand... you can fight!
We're not gonna give up!
I caught Loke's scent.
Inside of that thing's roar.
I'm positive. Loke and the others are still alive in there.
Then...
Let's go, Happy!
Aye, sir!
Natsu!
They flew right into the light!
What does he intend to do?!
That bastard...
Don't tell me...
Th-That's crazy!
That's Natsu.
Max speed!
The idea being if you can't hurt it from the outside, try from the inside?
Leave the outside to us! Trash it from the inside, Salamander!
I'm counting on you, Natsu.
Let's do what we can out here!
Yeah!
Whew! Somehow, we managed to get inside the Celestial Spirit King.
But what is this? It's like we're in space!
Are Loke and the others really being held captive in here?
Yeah. I can't see 'em, but I can smell 'em. They're definitely in here!
We've gotta save them! Our friends fighting outside believe in us!
Of course! And then I'm gonna end this stupid battle!
Next time: Believe!
Let's go, Happy! This is the last fight!
Aye, sir!
