Summary
Happy manages to take the cat helmet off Natsu with a lot of effort and then it lands on Wally's head. Natsu and Happy tries to leaves but Wally who has easily removed the cat helmet stops them. Suddenly, Jellal announces the start of the “Heaven’s Game”. He explains the rules, which are simple, if the door to Heaven opens (i.e. if he sacrifices Erza) he wins, if they stop him from doing it, they win. However, there’s one more detail. The Magic Council will probably use Etherion, and everyone will be annihilated.

Finally facing the truth, Shô understands and decides to imprison Erza inside his cards using his Card Magic, to keep her safe, and decided to beat Jellal himself. Wally, on the other hand, confides in Natsu that all they ever wanted was freedom. Natsu tells him that he doesn’t know exactly what kind of freedom he is talking about, but the freedom at Fairy Tail is amazing and fun. Having said that, Natsu says he is going to cheat in the game and fly to the final stage, using Happy and he tries to reach Jellal at once.
