Eclipse Cancer appears with the rest of Lucy's Celestial Spirits, all with brand new personalities and appearances. They announce that their contract with Lucy is now null and void, to which Lucy disagrees because, according to her, their relationship wasn't based on contracts and orders. However, not having memories of their time together, they attack Lucy and her companions. After, in the Celestial Spirit world, the Spirits talk about how the Mages got away and how they plan to achieve perfect freedom.[1] Later, Cancer watches as Leo is given the Celestial Globe required to perform Liberum by Virgo.[4]

As they now have the globe, Cancer and the other Eclipse Spirits attempt to perform Liberum within Astral Spirytus with Leo leading them, however right as they are about to attain their freedom, Natsu and his group of friends arrive, interrupting the ritual. Made livid by this interruption, Cancer and some of his fellows attack the intruders after Leo reveals their knowledge of the loss of their of lives upon completing Liberum, though they cease their attack after reinforcements from Fairy Tail arrive and retreat behind their Astral Spirytus doors; behind Cancer's is a dance club, where he meets Gray and asks him to dance,[2] goading him to, much to his chagrin, show him his "soulful" moves.[5]

Gray vs

Cancer forced into a duet with Gray

After challenging Gray to a dance battle, due to Gray's initial reluctance and subsequent pitiful display of dancing, Cancer gives him a pair of red dance shoes that will force him to dance. At first, Gray is completely miserable with this turn of events, stating he would rather die. Because of this, Cancer sends a cut at Gray's heart, cutting out his sense of shame, thereby freeing Gray's desire to dance. This allows him to compete on par with Cancer; Gray does so, gathering many more points than Cancer and causing him to ogle at his display, however Cancer eventually becomes aware that Gray is overtaking him and tries to compete in return. Before long, Gray freezes the dance floor and turns the dance battle into an ice-skating competition, which further wows Cancer. Realizing that he might actually lose, though, Cancer decides to turn the dance battle into a real battle and attacks Gray, as well as repelling all of the Ice-Make Mage's attacks when he attempts to return them in kind. Eventually rushing towards Gray to try and end the battle, Cancer is grabbed by the man and is forced to perform an ice-skating duet, which he very quickly begins to relish in. Completely mesmerized with Gray's performance, Cancer admits defeat and tells Gray that he can do whatever he wants with him; Gray opts to send Cancer back home and ends their battle with his Ice Blade: Seven Slice Dance. Before sending him back to the Spirit World, Gray tells Cancer to never speak of their dance battle; the Spirit calmly agrees before being tapped with one of Hisui's special-made keys.[3]

Later, Cancer being sent back to the Celestial Spirit World is revealed to be part of Eclipse Ophiuchus' plan to empower the Eclipsed Celestial Spirit King,[6] which ultimately occurs when the King absorbs the floating orbs that house Cancer and the other twelve Eclipse Spirits into his body.[7] Ultimately, thanks to the efforts of Natsu and Happy, Cancer and the others are freed after Natsu destroys the core of the Eclipsed King. With this, the Spirit World is returned to its original state, and alongside the Eclipse Spirits and Cancer.[8]
