Gildarts Clive & Byro Cracy vs. Lapointe

Gildarts Clive & Byro Cracy vs. Lapointe is a fight between Fairy Tail Mage Gildarts Clive, Legion Corps' Captain Byro Cracy and Zentopia Church's Cardinal Lapointe.

Prologue
After Gildarts and Laki found the real Michelle Lobster in the abbey of the Lobster Plantation, they took her to a nearby hospital. Afterwards Gildarts and Laki sneak into the Zentopia Church, where Laki uses Molding Magic to enter the Archbishop's room. Gildarts and Laki expected the Archbishop's room to be heavily guarded but surprisingly he's alone in his room, sitting atop the bed. They reveal themselves to him and Gildarts begin to ask him questions, but the Archbishop simply repeats his speech to the pilgrims in a blank manner, and not responding to them.

Laki realizes that someone is must be controlling him, and then they hear a clap and discover Lapointe in the room. He credits Gildarts for being able to make it to the room, but adds that he won't return alive. Gildarts takes it as a challenge opportunity from Lapointe.

When Gildarts and Lapointe prepare themselves to fight, they were interrupted when Natsu and Coco arrives. Lapointe says that Coco has escaped her cell as well and he tells to Natsu that he knows him as a Dragon Wizard. Natsu smells Lapointe and recognizes the scent as same as "Master Zero", shocking the others. Gildarts says that he doesn't know if he is Master Zero or not, but he knows that Lapointe is mind-controlling the Archbishop, while he also informs it to Warren through telepathy.

Natsu says that if he is the one controlling the Archbishop, then he is also the one who used "Michelle" to trick them. Lapointe says that what if he is, Natsu replies that he is obviously going to beat him up, but Gildarts wants to fight with him. Lapointe gets amused by them and he then uses Darkness Magic to restrain Laki and take her as a hostage, and Lapointe tells Natsu and Gildarts to fight each other; otherwise, she dies.

Battle
Natsu and Gildarts gets angry on Lapointe, but before they can react, Byro suddenly appears and nullifies Lapointe's Magic after he overheard Warren saying that Lapointe is controlling the Archbishop. This also saves Laki and Byro angrily says that Lapointe fooled him. Gildarts uses this moment as a distraction and he runs fast towards Lapointe and hits him with Crushing Evil, Spreading the Truth: Empyrean, sending him flying and also defeating him.

Aftermath
After Gildarts sends Lapointe flying, he falls on the floor full of candles. The Fairy Tail Mages who arrived with Christina the Magic Bomber, reunite with Gildarts, Natsu and Laki. The defeated Lapointe then reveals that his ultimate goal is to sink the world into chaos and return it to how it used to be before Zentopia was founded.
