 ''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 Grand Magic Games arc.'' 

Welcome back to The Earth Land Chronicles, people!

So, when we last left off, the Eclipse Gate had been opened and the Dragons were coming in to invade the nation, just as Future Rogue wanted.

Lucy can't close it alone but thankfully, Mirajane found the missing Yukino and gave her a pep talk. Together, the two Mages call forth all the Zodiac Spirits who join forces to close the gate. Y'know, despite the fact that the gate absorbs Magic, which was why Loke had to leave it in the first place. Oh well. Problem remains that 7 Dragons did break through the gate and are now wreaking havoc on the city, one of whom is the Zirconis, the Dragon whose spirit they met in the Dragon Graveyard, however he is different.

Though things seem hopeless, Natsu soon returns to confront Future Rogue and announces that the Dragon Slayers can beat the Dragons. However, with only 6 present so far, the Dragons outnumber the slayers, but as it turns out, Jellal got Doranbolt to bring Cobra to the battlefield, evening out their numbers. Meanwhile, we find out Sting Eucliffe and Rogue never really killed their Dragons, but rather, Sting's Dragon wanted to die while Rogue's was already sick and wanted to be put out of his misery. Meanwhile, Fairy Tail is getting its ass kicked by Atlas Flame and due to being a Dragon Slayer, Laxus steps up to fight.

As the Dragon Slayers gear up to fight, Zirconis' living body reveals that his Magic can cause clothes to dissipate, since his Magic is to remove human's dignity. Because apparently, Magic can arbitrarily decide what is dignified and what is not. So, after he de-dignifies (now a term) but fails to eat Lucy, it's up to Wendy to fight him with help from Carla and Mirajane. When confronted with a fight, Zirconis tosses the naked Lucy away, sending her flying through the sky and crashing into Natsu as he's fighting a losing battle against Future Rogue. However, her story of how she almost got eaten gives Natsu an idea while she finds a diary nearby which she finds out was written by her now-deceased future self.

While Laxus is having trouble with Atlas Flame due to the latter's protective body, Natsu drops by, quite literally, and begins eating his flames. However, as it turns out, Atlas was friends with Igneel and so Dragon and Slayer form an unlikely alliance and head off to battle Future Rogue. During their battle, the two go at it while others are watching from elsewhere.

Meanwhile, the Dragon Rogue is fighting tells him that his future self was the one responsible for everything happening, and basically makes him fall to the ground and get scared of his own shadow, somewhat literally. Meanwhile, he's being watched by Ultear, who wanted to kill him to prevent the gates from being opened but was told not to do so by Natsu, who claimed that the current Rogue had done nothing wrong. While she's having second thoughts, she wanders off to think about it.

Meanwhile, an injured Erza Scarlet has been saved by Jellal, much to the delight of fangirls everywhere. As they try to move somewhere safe, Millianna spots the two from nearby and confronts them over everything, like Fairy Tail hiding Jellal. However, Ultear wanders by and tells Millianna she manipulated Jellal years ago and is truly responsible for the pain she felt. While she walks off, collapsing soon after she thinks about how evil she is, Millianna, Jellal and Erza talk about how much the world basically sucks, causing an eavesdropping Kagura to slip her sword away.

While Mages nobody cares about start dying all over the city, including Gray, much to the distress of Umneis everywhere, Ultear decides to end her life by using her Last Ages spell to reverse time and prevent the gates from being opened. However, the spell only reverses time worth one minute and causes Ultear to collapse, but this gives everyone who died a chance to be saved, as they all apparently died or came close to death within the same minute. While those who did not die also got a glimpse into the future, the Slayers use this as a chance to take out their opponents.

Wendy and Laxus are teaming up against Zirconis, Sting and Rogue fight two Dragons side by side, Cobra fights a Rock Dragon which attacked Blue Pegasus and Gajeel fights a Dark Dragon which attacked Mermaid Heel and Lamia Scale. No ordinary Mage appears capable of taking them down and even with their 1-minute knowledge, the Dragon Slayers have a tough time.

Meanwhile, Lucy reveals to everyone that if they destroy the Eclipse Gate, they can stop everything from happening as nobody from the future can then come to the past. However, all their efforts are for naught as they are unable to dent the massive and durable gate. Luckily, Natsu has managed to overpower Future Rogue despite previously having his ass handed to him twice and knocks both him and his Dragon Motherglare into the gate, destroying it and thus allowing Natsu to be the one to save everyone in the end. Again!

Future Rogue then leaves with a warning that Frosch will due a year from now and that will trigger Rogue's change into a bad person. Princess Hisui talks to Zirconis and he decides to call himself the Jade Dragon as a result. The Dragons return to their own time zones and simultaneously, the dead Future Lucy goes to heaven. Alright, well, they don't say for sure, but the last time I heard of the golden plains in anime, it was another way of saying heaven, so let's just leave it at that.

So, with everything taken care of, the King, who was really Mato, decides to throw a party to celebrate and invites all the Mages, none of whom died, sadly. Let's just get through this as fast as we can.

The end of anything important in Chapter 338. That's not all, but it's all I really care about.
 * Gray rejects Juvia but she's a clingy stalker and refuses to take a hint.
 * Erza bribes Millianna into being happy by pulling Happy out of her bra.
 * Everyone fights for Yukino to join their guild.
 * Natsu steals the king's crown and royal clothes.

In Chapter 390, we learn Ultear survived the use of Last Ages and now she's an old woman and only Gray can recognize her it seems. She leaves, hopefully to live in peace and never to be bothered again.


 * This chapter also contains one of the best covers of all time. Seriously.

Chapter 340 reveals that the small black creature that was Obra was with Zeref. He now plans to destroy the world, but Mavis won't have it. Good build up to a final arc, but does little to alleviate the crap that was this arc.

Anyways people, that is all for this month. Sorry if you felt it was lackluster, but I recently watched Transformers: Age of Extinction and most of my interest in writing went to writing a review of that this month since it was even worse than this arc. The review is located on my DeviantArt, for those who are interested.

That's all for now, everyone. Return next month for a look at the net arc: the Sun Village arc. Till then~
