About the actual chapter though, eh, I dunno...

Thanks to the anon from last week for highlighting why Mak disbanding the guild actually had reason. Cheers, I get it now, but that still doesn't make me like what's happening.

I'm annoyed that Lisanna is with the B Team. I mean, I KNOW she needs to be with Mira and Elfman, but... come on... WHAT CAN SHE DO!? Seriously... omg, I'm waiting for more uselessness or for her to land herself in danger. Gajevy was cute, but that only made Juvia whine and omg, if I have to put up with Juvia only talking about things in relation to Gray for this whole arc I'm going to die. This is her chance to bond with people again (Cana and Gajeel just to name two I wish we got to see her be with more) so if this chance is skipped then arg. Really.

As for the others... Why is Natsu motion sick?? He wasn't on the hog earlier in the Avatar arc so we all assumed that he got over it due to Igneel leaving him. But it's suddenly back? And Wendy too? >__> I don't see why that happened. Wendy has NEVER shown motion sickness before (Tenrou boat people etc.) so why now? She also could have been using her Magic to make the boat go faster but screw that I guess.

At the port, I liked their idea to use Cait Shelter as a cover. That was smart. However, the whole "oh no a little kid is being attacked so we MUST blow our cover (even if it leads to war, because that's no biggie)" just did nothing for me. It's been used too much both in FT and in stories in general, and though I get why it's used (we're meant to feel bad for the kid and root for the protags) I just don't care for it any more. I mean, this'll just lead to a battle and they'll obviously win and the bad guys will be alerted and arg... I know this is FT, but if they plan to infiltrate in a top secret mission that is already stupid and not thought out well, you'd think they'd at least to their best to keep their plans in motion and not be found out. And there are other ways to save the kid without blowing their cover like that :/ For ONE example, Wendy uses air to move the kid out of the way and they play dumb. Lucy summons a Spirit to save the kid and then the offender "disappears" because the soldiers can't find them. This just seems like an excuse for battle, and I really don't care.

AM excited to see Laxus and co. though. Was sad that they weren't in this chapter. Oh, and ElfEver :3 Yay~
