Chapter 247

Right Beside Each Other is the two hundred and forty-seventh chapter of Hiro Mashima's Fairy Tail.

Summary
Happy, Charle and Pantherlily are conversing about a recent discovery they've made. Happy theorizes that they have found a power source but Charle disagrees while Pantherlily relates the discovery to the name of the guild, "Grimoire Heart". Just then, Mages from the dark guild discover the three Exceed, prompting Lily to hold them off while Happy and Charle find a way to stop the airship. Turning into his original form, Lily makes quick work of the dark guild wizards and finds a weapon similar to his old buster sword while Happy and Charle contemplate on how to destroy the airship.

Meanwhile, the Fairy Tail wizards are awed by Hades's powerful magic and Natsu is still unable to move. Hades states that the world will change when Zeref awakens tonight, and that he will obtain the "magic of one". Lucy recalls having heard of such magic before from her mother, and Hades declares that they cannot step into the abyssal deep because they lack the resolve. He activates a spell based on hidden magic which summons demons from the rubble. The team begins shaking in fear at this power until Natsu regains composure, reciting the words Gildarts told him, that fear isn't evil, because it allows them to learn their weaknesses, which in turn allows them to grow stronger.

Motivated by Natsu's declaration that they are all together.The team charges forward as Hades sends his demons ahead. Natsu begins to fall behind, but Lucy and Wendy push him forward, followed up by Gray and Erza in front of them who do the same supporting with their legs. Hades says it is time for the sun to sink and causes an explosion on the ship.
