 ''Welcome to the latest issue of The Earth Land Chronicles. This article will a relatively sarcastic overview of things in the Fairy Tail series, which will probably be presented in chronological order. This could include main villains, Dragon Slayers, Celestial Spirits, probably in the order they were revealed. Our first series will be the story arcs of Fairy Tail, with an arc being done each month. So let's continue with the Tartarus arc.'' 

Welcome back to The Earth Land Chronicles, people!

Welcome back to The Earth Land Chronicles, everyone. When we last left off, we had just seen Happy tank a nuke while Erza and Mirajane were captured by the man they were sent to protect, who turned out to be a traitor. So, let's see how the story has progressed. Please note that if you hate spoilers, you're on the wrong website. Enjoy~

As we're quick to find out, Mashima has wasted no time getting his girls naked. Erza's chained up baring all for the world to see thanks to Kyouka, who wants her to tell her where Jellal is, since he's the last key to Face the EMP that will annihilate all Magic across the continent. Mirajane meanwhile is undergoing the same process that Minerva is, one which will make her a Demon.

Jellal is simultaneously is taking on three of the Oracion Seis members at once while this goes on, and he knows each of their names somehow. But we don't really get much to go on there, so moving on, we have Natsu, who has used his brain (yes, I was surprised too) to figure out what happened and arrives at Tartarus' headquarters, knocking out Crawford a.k.a the chairman and Umnei Franmalth.

Natsu does fight Franmalth and we see a bit of his power but Natsu has no real trouble with him. But the fight stops thanks to Silver, who smells like Gray and freezes Natsu instantly. What's cool here is that Natsu doesn't actually break free of the ice immediately. He's actually thrown in a jail cell stark-naked. Isn't that a refreshing change from what Natsu usually does. Anyways, Lisanna is also in the same cell and similarly nude, cause apparently Tartarus has no qualms with its prisoners inter-mingling. Evidently, she was nearly strangled to death when Wrath's girlfriend took control of Elfman and was only released if Elfman gave up his soul.

While Jellal fights the Oracion Seis and goes on about how he'll set them free, Kyouka propositions Sayla to have sex with her and apparently gets the OK since Sayla's smiling in bed at the end of the chapter. At the guild though, Elfman shows up and Cana basically bitches-out at him for letting Lisanna get captured.

But while this is happening, Jellal has recently been penetrated by Zero. Yes, it's as funny as it sounds. OK, maybe not but it did look cool. But it's not really him, it's an illusion and Jellal, in the latest reference to Rave Master, attacks the Oracion Seis with Grand Chariot. However, he goes a step further here and uses Sema, which we never got to see in the Grand Magic Games thanks to Ultear's tickle-torture plan. It does look good here, though not as big as I would have imagined, but it is effective and we then get a cool shot of Jellal taking Midnight by the collar and telling him what they have to do.

Meanwhile, Cana's one of the few who knows what's wrong when something is wrong and finds Elfman with a bomb that Sayla is forcing him to place. Stealing a page from Sho's book, Cana traps everyone in cards so as to protect them from the ensuing explosion when she can't stop Elfman's bomb and has to escape being pinned down. Damn, can you imagine those two getting it on? Elfman's probably got a massive d-

Readers: Ultra!!! Ultra: Alright, alright, moving on....

The Exceeds take the carded-Mages to Cube, Tartarus' base which is floating above Magnolia Town and they transform back to basically storm the place. As it turns out, Crawford transferred Jellal's key to himself, which was stupid since Kyouka hills him to activate Face. However, it won't activate remotely...someone has to go do it manually. While most of Fairy Tail fight, Lucy and Wendy go ahead to try and stop this. However, when Umnei Franmalth gets in their way, it's Natsu who gets in his way, allowing Wendy to escape so as to stop Face's activation while he and Lucy take on the ugly, gelatinous monster.

As it turns out, he can absorbs souls and has already taken Taurus and Aries but worst of all, he's also taken Hades, who was near death after Tenrou Island because apparently Zeref didn't kill him...dunno why that is, but let's go with it (even if it makes us wonder where Rustyrose and Kain are). Oh, and Natsu met with Zeref after escaping jail, but nothing really came of it.

Anyways, Natsu and Frandes (which is what I choose to call him now, for the time being) fight by Natsu's overwhelmed pretty easily since Frandes absorbs souls and stuff, which evidently includes Magic. While they're fighting though, Face gets closer and closer to activating and the shockwaves are heard all around, but I'll get to that out-of-order. So Frandes nearly absorbs the trio (kinda forgot Happy was there cause he's so lame) but Lucy ends up recalling Taurus and Aries to the Celestial Spirit World by closing their gates, freaking Frandes the fuck out when she says "Close: Gate of the Natsu" and makes him think he's a spirit. Can you imagine what a summer spirit would be like though? Anyways, Natsu then proceeds to get Frandes stoned out of his skull by smashing him with a huge-ass slab of rock that I guess is supposed to be part of the destroyed area. So yeah, this Demon with the strength of one of history's strongest Mages goes down just like that...what a load of crap.

But, the souls inside him are freed, including Hades himself, who tells them that Face wasn't the true goal and that Makarov needs to "release the light". Of course, this refers to Lumen Histoire, that we saw way back when and have been wondering about ever since.

Meanwhile, Wendy was fighting Ezel, who was evidently stalking her from the roof of the caves, cause apparently Demons do that in anticipation of people coming after them. Well, he comes down to attack and Wendy, despite some really good effort, isn't able to take his demonic ass down. As it appears that she's the one who's gonna be taken down, Carla decides it's a good idea to claw the massive brute and nearly gets eaten in the process. However, they coincidentally landed near Face during the fight and Wendy uses the particles nearby or w/e to access Dragon Force. So, as expected, she does win in the end against Ezel and destroy Face in the process, but it isn't that simple, it seems, cause the thing is still apparently gonna activate despite being destroyed. No good explanation given, but hey...makes for some good tension. Anyways, Carla apparently has that same power as Nicolas Cage in that one movie which has a name I can't remember and she saw a bunch of futures all at once and understood each of them. She finds the one that'll stop Face but it'll destroy them in the process as they stop it. However, in a show of selflessness, the two agree to stop it at the cost of their lives, but given the series that they're in, they do of course succeed in their goal without a sacrifice, as Doranbolt comes to their aid, having Magically known where they were, what they were doing. Admittedly, he does look cool while he does it.

That's...actually it, people. Face is apparently gone, and so is another Demon Gate, all thanks to a little loli. Admittedly, she is one of the best examples of character growth this series has ever had. But for now, we'll stop as we all know what's coming up next. I'll catch you next time when we take on the King of Hades!
