Okay, seeing as this is up early, I actually have time to write out a review ^__^

All in all, I really liked this chapter, though my love was hindered due to the fact that I'm a little disappointed with the fight set ups.

Sooo, first, the cover made me laugh so hard XD I know Mashima just did it for a laugh but it was perfectly executed, down to the last "our speciality... is especially nothing" XP Priceless Mashima, priceless~

I guess the rest of the chapter was really in parts, so I'll talk about them in parts too:
 * Natsu and Zeref: Nothing much here, but Zeref is still engaging me with his cryptic way of talking. I very much like him and even though he appeared just to mindfuck Natsu, I liked seeing him :) It's also made me more interested to see who E.N.D is, but... I actually really don't want it to be Natsu/his evil counterpart/*insert other Natsu is E.N.D theory here*. I guess we shall see though ( .__.)~
 * Fairy Tail infiltrating Cube: Meh... I just hope they don't get in the way and that some people actually die. My money is on Elfman going to look for his sisters and Juvia and Gray running into Silver, which will be interesting - I really want a Gray/Silver meeting so we can get more clues as to who Silver is :D Plus, Silver so far has just been fucking awesome, so let's have him come back in :3
 * Erza V Kyouka: Glad Kyouka isn't down, but I didn't think she was in the first place, so there :) Their banter was interesting and a little funny, but I'm still kinda pissed off at Erza tbh >:/
 * Sayla V Mira & Lisanna: Arg... Lisanna... I can already see Lisanna being controlled and Mira having to fluff around trying to save her before shit gets real >__> If Lisanna could just... y'know... run away, that'd be amazing. Just fuck off Lisanna >:( If Lisanna wasn't there, my money would be on Mira in an instant, but because Lisanna is there... hmmmm... little harder to peg.
 * Face and the 41 minutes: Sooooo glad Tartarus sent someone to activate Face. I mean, I know the likelihood of it actually activating is incredibly low, but at least they aren't as stupid as I first thought. I'm betting the counter reaches zero and everyone in FT is all "NOOOOOO DX" and then Tartarus goes "Wait... nothing happened... Wtf...!?" and then they all look towards Face on their computers and Jellal, Meredy and the OS are lounging around on a destroyed Face eating sandwiches >:3 My money may be on that, but tbh... I really do want it to activate :/
 * Lucy & Wendy V Keith: YYEEEEEESSSS!!! >:) KEEEEIIIITHHHH!! Wooh!! I really want to see this guy's abilities! :D Like, really want to see them! I don't really see how Lucy and Wendy can beat this guy (plus, Franmalth is still in that corner and I doubt he'll stay hidden) but this part of the arc is called "Song of the Heavenly Dragon" sooooo... maybe Wendy pulls some shit? :/ I dunno.. but I hope Keith is awesome :3

So, yeah, all in all good, but like I said, these match ups seem odd. Am I the only one who doesn't get how all of this is happening right now and so fast? I feel like FT should lose and have to retreat and all this should be happening later, and far more intensely. Hmmm.... Like... They're all fighting in these cramped areas and there's no real... y'know... emotion. I mean, Keith kinda all "Hey... I'ma stop you", Sayla's just pissed off and Kyouka seems to be having fun. I guess this whole thing just isn't serious enough for me, which is why I don't see it as serious or think this is the final battle sort of part :/ Dunno, guess I'll have to see.

Anyways, great chapter... hoping next weeks is good too ^__^ More Jellal please Mashima, if you would~
