Full Summary
The one who's wielding the Frying Pan, who is the older brother of the Vanish Brothers, stated that Wizards of Fairy Tail has mistaken that they believe that they're the strongest. The wilder hair, who's the younger of the two, said that he had heard a lot about Fairy Tail, and accept that it's a Wizard Guild. The both of them then stated that in the end, Wizards such as themselves are no match for mercenary's strength. Not faltered, Natsu both told and showed them to come on, and allowed them to fight at the same time. The younger brother was angered by Natsu looking down on them, but the older one remained calm as he said that his opponent is a fire Wizard, and it will be an easy job.

The older brother charged in, and hit Natsu with his frying pan. Before he flew, the younger one grabbed ahold of Natsu, and threw him towards the bookcase, and smashed through the wall. Natsu managed to recover by grabbing on the rail, but the older brother charged him and attacked with the frying pan again. The attack missed, and Natsu flipped downstairs while asking if it's alright that they destroy their employer's house. The two brothers didn't answer his question, and went straight to asking what a wizard's weakness is. Natsu's first response was transportation, which the older one pointed out that that's his own problem.

Jumping down, he answered that it's the body, and Natsu was confused by that answer. The two brothers then continued their assault against Natsu, while stating that to learn magic requires training of intellect and spirit, and as a result of mastering the magic, most Wizards don't train their body. When compared to mercenaries that trains their body day and night, Wizards lack both strength and speed. The younger brother then stated that there was once a wizard that spend years to master a curse magic that can shatter all the bones of his opponent. The Vanish Brothers challenged the said wizard, and before he had the chance to cast the spell, they had already shattered the wizard's bone. Natsu replied that while that was true, the Vanish Brothers have yet to land a blow during the whole time they were explaining. The older brother realized that Natsu may have done some training, and the younger brother told him to use that technique, Heaven and Earth Extinct Slaying Attack. Before the attack, they stated that they are called the Vanish Brothers because they will vanish, and then eliminate their opponent.

The younger brother was launched to the sky by the frying pan, and Natsu's eyes followed. Taking advantage, the older brother striked him with the frying pan. Natsu then focused his attention to the older brother, which the younger brother struck him from above. The two brother then explained that's their ultimate attack, but before they could finish stating that no one could be alive after the attack, Natsu stood up and was both unfazed and unimpressed. The Vanish Brothers were surprised by Natsu's durability, and questioned if he really is a Wizard. Had enough with the battle, Natsu countered with Fire Dragon's Roar. Seeing an fire attack, the two brothers commented that it was over for him. The fire was absorbed into the frying pan, and called out the fire countering technique, Flame Cooking. Amplifing the flame absorbed, the older brother redirected the flame at Natsu. Just as they about to celebrate their victory, Natsu emerged from the flame with a smile, and finished the Vanish Brothers with Fire Dragon's Wing Attack. With the two defeated, Natsu decide to find Lucy. At the same time, Virgo's eyes began to glow.

Somewhere at the sewage of Everlue's Mansion. Lucy was reading DAYBREAK with Gale-Force Reading Glasses. She finished reading, and let out of a bit of breath. Shakened, she couldn't believe the secrets inside the book, and said that the book must not be burned. As she put back the glasses and said that she must deliver the book to Kaby, Duke Everlue's hand popped up behind Lucy and grabbed her. Everlue then demanded that she spill the secret of the book, but Lucy called him the worst, and an enemy to literature...
