Panic at the Library

Panic at the Library is an anime-exclusive event that takes place during the Eclipse Celestial Spirits arc.

Prologue
Following the rebellion of the eclipsed Celestial Spirits, the group is gathered at the guild to figure out the cause. Lucy decides to summon Crux and ask him again, just to be told of the chaos that prevailed the Celestial Spirit World and the reneging on the contracts between the 12 Golden Gates. After informing them about the disappearance of the Celestial Spirit King, The Southern Cross mentions "Liberum" which is a ritual performed by the Celestail Spirits, using a Celestial Globe to gain the "perfect freedom". The guild then decide to go to the Magic Libray to collect information about the location of the said globe, thus preceding the Celestial Spirits, with Erza Scarlet forming a team of Natsu Dragneel, Lucy, Levy, Yukino and Happy for the quest. Unexpectedly, Natsu travels back to the Celestial Spirit World alongside Horologium and Crux to find the rebelled spirits.

The Fight
At the Library, the team is searching for clues in the books with no clear answer. All of a sudden, they are attacked and brought down as a result of Spica Hole. Lucy the, asks them to take care just to be attack once again by Virgo's Fleuve d'étoiles. As the battle begins, Virgo starts striking the latters by her lash, not affected by Levy's Solid Script: Iron. As she tries to assault the Solid Script Mage, Lucy clashes with her by the use of her whip. Virgo taunts the Celestial Mage and batters her with her َEtoiles, stating that her's is more powerful than Lucy's. Out of the blue, Yukino engages in a Hand-to-Hand Combat with the Spirit, overwhelming her much to both Lucy's and Happy's surprise. They ask Levy to continue the search as they keep the Eclipsed Spirit in check, with the latter finding the list of donations to the library.As the battle continue, Levy leaves the battleground with Lucy asking Yukino to protect her as other spirits might show up before clashing with Virgo once again.

As Levy and Yukino run around the library, Levy reveals that the Celestial Globe is in the Magic Library as it was found in an archeologic dig and was donated to the library. When Virgo appears behind them, Lucy and Happy stop her, just to be captured by her. Virgo then start torture the two sadisticly. As Levy and Yukino find themselves lost in the corridors of the library, unable to find the globe, Virgo continues her torment to Lucy and Happy and then starts chasing them with her Earth Magic attacks. Levy comes to the conclusion about the whereabouts of the Celestial Globe, as Lucy falls in front of them. With the help of Pyxis, the team finally manages to locate the Southern Warehouse, where the globe should be, just to find out that Virgo was spying on them. As Levy departs for the globe, Lucy and Yukino stand up against the Eclipsed Spirit one more time, just as the latter performs an omnidirectional attack, damaging the building.

Eventually, Levy finds the Celestial Globe and meets with the others. Unfortunately, Virgo manages to steal it from her and promises to destroy Magnolia. To her misfortune, Natsu falls from the top in the middle of the room, having returned from the Celestial Spirit World after his fight with Taurus. During their miswatch, Virgo manages to escape with globe.
