Mirajane Strauss, Natsu Dragneel, Wendy Marvell & Panther Lily vs. Garou Knights

Mirajane Strauss, Natsu Dragneel, Wendy Marvell & Pantherlily vs. Garou Knights is a fight fought between S-Class Mage of Fairy Tail Mirajane Strauss, Mage of Fairy Tail Natsu Dragneel, Mage of Fairy Tail Wendy Marvell, Mage of Fairy Tail Pantherlily and the independent unit supporting the Kingdom of Fiore, the Garou Knights.

Prologue
Despite their attempts to find a way out, they are unsuccessful. However, Carla manages to uncover a pathway, which the Mages make their way through. Coming across a battered Arcadios, the Mages are told by him to get away as they are approached from behind by a large, shadowy figure.

The large figure attacks the group, scattering them and melting the ground with acid as a result. Another figure with a flag pops up in front of Wendy, causing the group to fly through the air as Natsu wonder who they're up against. A girl appears through a nearby plant while another appears as a series of falling papers. Five people assemble in front of the Mages and are recognized by Arcadios as the Garou Knights, an independent unit supporting the kingdom who work as executioners.

Though Natsu is unperturbed by Arcadios' warning that the magic the knights used is made for killing, the knights gear up to attack. Mirajane notes it to be a chance to have them show the exit while Wendy tells Lucy and Yukino to stand back due to lacking their keys. Pantherlily also joins the battle as the knights attack the Mages.

Battle
Kamika and Cosmos are the first to make a move, with the former starting off with her Paper Blizzard: Red Dance, a Paper Magic spell which sends a barrage of red papers at the Mages. Natsu steps up with his Magic to destroy it but despite his attempts, he fails to burn the paper due to it being the Fire God. As it approaches, Wendy manages to disperse the technique with her Sky Dragon's Roar, preventing it from hitting anyone. While subsequently off guard, Wendy is surrounded by Cosmos' Flytrap and nearly engulfed by the plant. However, Mirajane manages to destroy the plant and save her.

At the same time, Lucy and Yukino are targeted by the plants but are saved by Natsu, who forces them down onto the ground while Pantherlily uses his sword to cut the plants to pieces. As he does this, he is attacked from behind by the largest member of the knights and narrowly manages to dodge the blow, which melts the ground as a result. Kamika then unleashes her Paper Blizzard: Violet Dance, purple papers of the God of binding which restricts the Mages, making them unable to move. To follow up, Cosmos unleashes her Flower Flourish, a large flower which attempts to suck the Mages inside. As everyone holds on to one another to prevent being taken in, Wendy uses Raise to cancel their physical impairment.

Thanks to Wendy, Natsu and the others regain their movement. As Lucy questions what he plans to do, Natsu tells her they're going to destroy the plant. Together, Natsu, Mirajane and Pantherlily attack the plant and destroy it, creating a large explosion as a result.

Aftermath
As a result of the explosion, the knights and Mages are scattered about the underground and separated from one another. After recovering, Natsu gets out of the rubble and looks around, only to find himself with the leader of the knights and curses himself for having lost Lucy again. Elsewhere in the underground, Wendy, Pantherlily and Mirajane find themselves alone with other members of the knights, separated from the others.

In another area, Lucy, Yukino, Happy, Carla and Arcadios find themselves all together, with none of them able to fight. As Happy suggests going to find the others, the group encounter the knight Uosuke, who levitates Happy into the air. Though Yukino and Lucy suggest they can beat him without Magic, Arcadios reveals that when Uosuke executes someone, not even their bones are left, surprising the girls as he approaches.
