Prologue
Lapointe holds Laki as a hostage, making Natsu and Gildarts unable to defeat him. However, Byro suddenly appears and nullifies Lapointe's Magic, which gives Gildarts an oppurtunity to strike. He takes advantage of it and defeats Lapointe. Shortly after that, the other Fairy Tail members arrive to reunite. Lapointe tells his goal and for everybody's suprise, he dissapears. It turns out, that Lapointe was only a puppet. Byro announces, that in order to save the world, he will dispose Lucy.

Gildarts then orders the other Fairy Tail Mages to stop Samuel.

Battle
As Byro tries to stop the Fairy Tail Mages, Gildarts sends a net-like pattern towards him, but he easily nullifies it with his Magic and reminds Gildarts about its power. They decide, that they will use hand to hand combat instead of Magic. Byro is really confident about his skills in melee combat, saying that he will surely win. He then attacks Gildarts with his staff. He avoids Byro's first strike, but Byro strikes one more time, which sends Gildarts through a wall. However, he is still uninjured.

Byro continues striking with his staff, which really damages the fighting area. Gildarts didn't attack with anything since the hand to hand combat started, yet, which makes Byro angry, asking him about why he isn't attack him normally. Gildarts says, that it was a good warming up and then the two clash again. Gildarts easily breaks through Byro's staff with his fist, much to the latter's suprise. He then punches Byro in the face, making him fly into a pillar, defeated.
