Key of the Starry Sky arc

The Key of the Starry Sky arc is an anime-only story arc of the Fairy Tail series.

The Beauty, the Beast and the Ball
Natsu Dragneel, Lucy Heartfilia and Happy decide to partake in a mission, so they select a job from the request board at the Fairy Tail Guild. The client's name is Count Balsamico and Macao comments that they host a Magic Dance Ball, which is a dance for Mages only.

Natsu, Lucy, Gray, Erza, Elfman, Wendy, Warren, Happy, and Carla all decide to attend the Magic Dance Ball and assist the Mages to their job. Once there, they are greeted by the client's daughter, Aceto. Inside, the count tells them that the ball is hosted in order to select Aceto's future husband. He tells them that the family heirloom is a ring, and he only brings it out once every seven years at the Magic Dance Ball to choose Aceto's husband. He suspects that Velveno wants to steal the ring, and requests the Fairy Tail Mages to capture the criminal. Balsamico also states that Velveno utilizes Transformation Magic and Magical Drain, which allows him to copy the Magic of any opponent.

The Fairy Tail Mages prepare for the events that will take place in the ball, with Lucy, Erza, Wendy, Gray, Natsu and Elfman attending the ball, while Warren, Happy, and Carla are outside, surveying the venue with a communication Lacrima that Warren had previously set up. The Fairy Tail Mages all communicate via Warren's telepathy.

Throughout the night, the Fairy Tail Mages encounter suspicious individuals who may be Velveno in disguise. Aceto comes down at midnight and the Balsamico ring is revealed. The Count declares that whoever gets that ring is worthy of becoming Aceto's husband.

Later, a young boy asks Wendy for a dance, but then the surveillance team discovers that the real boy has been tied up elsewhere. Warren immediately warns Wendy that she is actually dancing with Velveno so she gets away from him. He cancels his Transformation magic and uses Sky Dragon's Roar to steal the ring. Natsu and Erza attempt to battle with him, but Velveno counters both assaults and deems them ineffective, as he has already copied both their Magic.

Velveno states that he has copied every member of Fairy Tail's Magic but also announces that he isn't there to fight them. He then holds the ring up to Aceto and asks her to marry him. He reveals that they were friends since childhood, but her father forbade him from seeing her anymore, so he started to commit crimes. While Velveno was in prison, he never stopped thinking about Aceto, so he broke out of prison and tried to get to her seven years ago. Everyone is shocked when Aceto accepts the proposal, including her furious father. However, she says that he must pay for his crimes first, so, the guards come and take him away, but the two lovers promise to see each other again

Dragon Slayers, Trains and Jiggle Butts
After accepting a request to transport some cargo for a client, Lucy Heartfilia, Natsu Dragneel, Happy, Wendy Marvell and Carla travel on a six-hour train ride to guard the precious load. During the trip, Natsu begins to suffer from motion sickness, and Wendy offers to cast Troia on him to help him feel more comfortable. However, after a few failed attempts, the group concludes that Natsu has built up immunity to Troia. When Natsu steps out of the carriage, he is met by a group of three large buttocked people who have, unbeknownst to him, knocked out the conductor and are planning to steal the gold the group is trying to protect. The group of criminals quickly looks into the freight cart and realizes that a group of Mages has been hired to protect it. Using Natsu as an excuse to get into the cart, the thieves -who declare themselves to be the Jiggle Butt Gang- quickly grab Wendy, threatening to harm her unless Lucy and Natsu jump off the train and hand over all of the gold. When Lucy refuses to jump, the group uses Gas Butt Triple Ecstasy to smell out the carriage, causing Lucy, Happy and Carla to fly out of it.

A little while later, Wendy awakens to the realization that only herself, the Jiggle Butt Gang, Plue and a still sick -and therefore useless- Natsu are left in the carriage. Wendy realizes that the protection of the cargo has come down to her, and tries to formulate a plan to get rid of the thieves. After realizing that the gang has not thought through their heist at all, and has no way of getting the gold off the halted cart, she decides to stall the gang as long as possible by reasoning that if the gang does not steal the gold, she will request the client to give them some of it. The Jiggle Butt Gang immediately sees through her plan, but decides to try to outsmart her, stating that they agree and would like her to help them move the carriage along the tracks.

Wendy, deciding to go along with the plan until the others show up, agrees, and uses Sky Dragon's Roar to move the cart. When the Jiggle Butt Gang realizes that Wendy is a Dragon Slayer, they decide to try and recruit her into their corps to use her abilities for their own benefit. Wendy denies the invitation to join their group, but decides that she should at least fool them into thinking she has joined so that she can make them believe she is on their side. She dons the Jiggle Butt Gang's suit and prepares to use her Magic one more time to move the cart.

However, she is interrupted by Lucy, Happy and Carla, who have finally recovered and have flown to catch up with the cart. They are startled to see Wendy wearing the Jiggle Butt Gang uniform, but decide to leave questions until later, planning to take out the Jiggle Butt Gang first. Before they have a chance though, Natsu awakens due to the cart having stopped, and upon hearing that Wendy is in trouble, he jumps straight up to the roof of the cart and heads towards the gang. Although Wendy tries to prevent Natsu from attacking the gang and asks them to turn over a new leaf and learn to be Mages, Natsu angrily uses his Fire Dragon's Iron Fist and sends the gang flying from the train-top.

With the gang finally taken care of, the Fairy Tail Mages continue their journey and eventually reach the station where their client waits. However, as they arrive far later than the agreed time, the client states he will only pay them half the amount they originally agreed on. Annoyed at the Jiggle Butt Gang for costing her money, Lucy asks Wendy to try and warm the client over, with Wendy getting embarrassed by the suggestion. Meanwhile, back on the tracks, the Jiggle Butt Gang pumps a hand-operated rail cart and vows that they will return to cause more mischief.

Peek-a-boo! Lucy, Where are You?
After Natsu and Happy appear in Lucy's house and disrupt her by telling her a story about an invisible man, Lucy loses her concentration and decides to take a bath. She finds a Magic ointment and decides to use it for her bath. Lucy then fantasizes about being an invisible person herself. As Lucy leaves the bath, she looks at the mirror and realizes that she is invisible. Lucy finds out that her Magic ointment was made 7 years ago and that the effects may have changed since then. Panicked, she quickly decides to go to Fairy Tail and look for help.

As Lucy walks through the streets, she begins to cause a bit of a mayhem, knocking over things and causing people to glance in her direction, puzzled as they cannot see her. When she arrives at Fairy Tail, The Fairy Tail Mages converse about Lucy, with Happy making a joke at Lucy’s expense, humoring the other Mages.

Lucy, visibly annoyed by her being the butt of everyone's jokes, causes chaos to ensue with mischievous acts amongst the Fairy Tail Mages. The Mages, oblivious to Lucy’s presence, start blaming one another for inconveniences bestowed upon them and start fighting. This subsequently leads to a series of accidents and a pandemonium occurs, dragging everyone into the fight. During the chaos, Natsu gets knocked back to a wall, crashing into Lucy causing her to yelp. Natsu, recognizing Lucy's voice and scent, reaches out to try to find her. Realizing that Lucy is in the room, everyone calms down and tries to find her, only to realize that she is invisible.

The guild gives Lucy some clothes and listens while she tells them her story. Lucy gets embarrassed, while the other Mages express their discomfort about the situation. When Mirajane and Wendy wonder whether there's any way for her to change back to normal, everyone replies that they might be able help. After numerous failed attempts and disastrous results by the Mages to give Lucy a face, Mirajane puts a picture of Lucy on her face.

Wendy then arrives and brings Lucy's Magic ointment and Keys to her. Lucy then thinks about asking her Celestial Spirits to help, however she wonders which one she should use. Happy suggests Gemini and Lucy summons Gemini, to no avail. Meanwhile, Levy and Freed continue analyzing what's in the Magic ointment. Freed then tries to uses his runes to dispel the Magic, but fails. As they continue thinking of a way to help Lucy, a pink mist appears and her clothes start to disappear from her body. Levy says that it's not just her body that's just disappearing but her existence as well. As Freed talks about Lucy's non-existence, the Magic ointment bottle disappears as well. Carla then says that if Lucy is gone, then all her belongings will follow. With this, Lucy's room then starts to disappear as well. Lucy pleads, stating that she doesn't want this to happen, but she suddenly disappears altogether. The rest of Fairy Tail then start wondering what they were doing or saying, signifying that they have also forgotten about Lucy's existence as a whole.

Lucy calls out to everyone to acknowledge her presence, but fails, as all of them have forgotten about her. Natsu then shouts out that they have to get to work and suddenly mentions Lucy. From this, everyone starts to recollect their memories of Lucy, causing her to reappear and the Magic to be dispelled. Wendy concludes that the Magic was dispelled because Natsu remembered Lucy. Lucy thanks Natsu, and Natsu responds that they are a team and will never be whole without her. Lucy tells the Fairy Tail Mages that she's going to get rid of the Magic ointment, however Happy slams into her, flinging the ointment bottle all over everyone, causing everyone to go invisible except from Lucy.

My Younger, Older, Distant Relative
An old man wakes up from a dream of a masked teddy bear engulfed in flames. An unknown girl is later seen on a train with a case in her possession. At the Magic Council Headquarters, Lahar discusses with Gran Doma about several cases of churches being destroyed. Gran tells Lahar to find and arrest the culprit, otherwise the Enforcement Corps' name will be tarnished.

In the Fairy Tail guild hall, Lucy reads the news about the church bombings and notices Lahar. Suddenly, Natsu picks up a scent and Romeo enters and says that Lucy has a visitor and points out Lucy to the girl who was on the train. Lucy asks who the girl is, and she tearfully introduces herself as Michelle Lobster, pointing out that she's Lucy's sister, with Michelle denying the literacy of her honorific towards Lucy by stating that the Heartfilia family and the Lobster family are distantly related. When Lucy inquires as to the contents of the case she's got, Michelle says that the case contains a memento from Lucy's father. Michelle had known Lucy's father and was there for his passing, and she tells Lucy that he asked her to pass the case on to her. Lucy opens the case and finds a strange object wrapped in bandages, which she unwraps to reveal a mechanical gear of some description. Natsu says that the gear has a Magic feel to it, as it was the scent he caught earlier, however Carla is terrified upon seeing the bandaged stick.

Lucy and Michelle later walk to Lucy's Apartment, and as they do so, they talk about Fairy Tail. Michelle says that Uncle Jude would have been proud of Lucy, with Lucy smiling in gratitude. Lucy then asks Michelle whether she wants to live with her for a little while, and Michelle accepts as she cries. Lucy later writes about Michelle working at Fairy Tail as well as living with her to her mother in a letter. Later, Alzack, Bisca, Asuka and Makarov arrive at Fairy Tail, talking to Lucy about Natsu asking her to help in catching some bandits. Michelle asks whether she can partake in this job. Lucy warns her that it's dangerous but Michelle insists as she wants to see what it's like being a Mage. After some encouragement from the others, Lucy tells Michelle that she can come along.

Gray later reads the job details, with Lucy visibly scared. Erza starts to explain the plan she has come up with to capture the bandits. When Natsu rejects the plan, Michelle saves Erza from ripping Natsu apart by saying that she will take Natsu's position and act as a decoy in the plan. Though the others are a little hesitant, they eventually agree.

They soon put Erza's plan go into action, with Michelle taking the reins of the wagon and leading the cart into the bandits territory. After a failed attempt by Lucy to seduce the bandits with her sex appeal, Team Natsu attack, with the bandits quickly being destroyed. Michelle becomes completely dazzled about Team Natsu being so strong. Meanwhile, back at Fairy Tail, Wakaba talks to Macao about the memento. Laki arrives and reads the report about Michelle's family to Macao, Carla and Wakaba. Lahar investigates another of the churches being destroyed, with a mysterious figure seeing him and laughing.

Michelle talks to Lucy about possibly putting in a guild request to solve the mystery behind the memento, with Lucy saying it's a great idea and asking Macao whether it's alright or not. Whilst Natsu and Lucy discuss the job and Carla still appears distraught by the memento, Michelle accidentally drops the gear. Before anyone can pick it up, the memento starts levitating and runes begin to appear on it, however as Levy and Freed are not present, no-one is able to read them. When they ask Makarov if he will, Makarov asks Lucy to not get involved, however Lucy states that she wants to solve the riddle which her father has left her.

Raging Waves Lead to a New Threat
While Michelle and Lucy are looking through some ancient rune books to decipher what is written on the metal rod, Erza and Gray arrive at the guild to inform Lucy that they will be going off for a job to capture some gold-stealing bandits. Lucy states that she'll pass this time since they are busy and she doesn't feel like it. Realizing that Natsu has gone off somewhere, Erza tells Gray that just the two of them will go complete the job, something which makes Juvia incredibly jealous and angry.

In the forest, Laxus encounters a Gorian and strikes it with lightning due to the agitation bestowed upon him from the Forest Vulcan. Natsu, Gajeel and the Thunder God Tribe notice Laxus' lightning and accumulate to where he is. Natsu states that if it is Laxus, he will have a showdown with him, which reminds Gajeel that Natsu can't defeat Laxus alone. Natsu says that he didn't need Gajeel's help at all the last time and states that he will win alone this time.

Laxus and the Thunder God Tribe arrive before the two. Upon inquiring Laxus of his current living arrangements, Natsu challenges Laxus to a showdown to settle once and for all who's the strongest. The Thunder God Tribe tells Natsu and Gajeel jump to Laxus’ aid, stating that they will become the Dragon Slayer’s opponent’s instead, but Laxus states that he will defeat Gajeel and Natsu with his own fists. Laxus says that he will start with Natsu. The two then prepare to fight each other but Wendy arrives and stops them. Wendy says that a showdown should be carried out with a plan and tells them that the battle will be tomorrow instead. Natsu then agrees and tells Laxus that their battle will be at the Sola Tree in South Gate Park, and Gajeel tells Laxus that he will fight him after that.

Meanwhile, at the guild, Macao, Wakaba, Mirajane, Elfman, Lisanna, Romeo and Kinana are discussing Laxus and his duel with Natsu. Elfman suddenly suggested that they should hold a festival in honor of the showdown and they all agree on it. At the festival, Jason appears to officially commentate on the battle, and Gajeel performs on stage in place of Mirajane, who states she has a sore throat. The crowd is displeased. Lucy meets up with Levy and asks her to help decipher the writing on the iron rod.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the mountains, Gray and Erza have located the bandit's hideout. Unknown to Gray and Erza, Juvia had followed them. Gray and Erza try to get some sleep, but soon after, the bandits return, with Gray and Erza trying to stop them. However, the bandits have hired the Vanish Brothers to defend them. Gray then requests that he should defeat them alone, since Natsu had been able to defeat them unaided some while ago. For a while it seems that Gray is about to be defeated, but by using Ice-Make: Ice Bringer he manages to defeat them. He and Erza then take back their clients gold and head home.

Meanwhile, at the festival, the Thunder God Tribe has arrived, while in the forest Wendy and Carla are looking for Makarov to tell him that Natsu and Gajeel are going to fight Laxus. At the festival, things get heated up, as Natsu and Laxus release their Magic to full potential, neither of them moving. Natsu then tries to hit Laxus, but is defeated with one move. Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna are shocked, while Macao and Wakaba are laughing on the sidelines. Laxus turns to fight Gajeel, but finds out that he had fled, due to a fear of getting beaten up. A search party, including Pantherlily (who says he has lost respect for Gajeel), heads out to find him.

Wendy, Carla, and Makarov arrive at the scene. Freed then pleads Makarov to release Laxus from his expulsion but both Makarov and Laxus stayed silent, until Laxus walks away. At Lucy's house; Michelle, Lucy and Levy are deciphering the writing. Levy says that the writing is ancient Potamelian and the writing says "Time is etched and then chaos descends". Lucy suddenly remembers the line, saying she had read it somewhere. She then retrieves a book from her shelf, and the three read a story of a clock that had been passed on for centuries. They then find out that the rod is actually a hand of a large pendulum clock.

Meanwhile, at the park, Natsu wonders where Gajeel has disappeared to. Back at the Guild, with just the 3 Exceeds occupying the Guild, three mysterious people approach the Guild.

Which One is Lucy Again?
Pantherlily, Happy and Carla are shocked at the appearance of three Mages that look like Sugarboy, Coco and Hughes outside the Fairy Tail Guild. Pantherlily instantly recognizes Coco, and asks her how she has managed to get to Earth Land. However, Coco replies that the group has never met them before. The group is then interrupted by the return of the Fairy Tail members, who have grown tired of trying to locate Gajeel after his disappearance from the fight against Laxus and are returning to the guild. Upon spotting the mysterious trio, Natsu, Lucy and Wendy are shocked, wondering how the three have managed to appear in front of them. However, they also note that though the three seem to be the same people they met in Edolas, they are slightly different, particularly the person who resembles Hughes, who is female. Before the conversation continues on, the female Hughes states that the trio have come to take Lucy Heartfilia, and demand that the guild hand her over.

The guild instantly asks to know why the trio wants Lucy, saying that even if they get a proper answer, they will not hand her over. Kinana then notes that the group may be responsible for the church attacks that have been happening across Fiore. Hearing Kinana's words, the trio become annoyed, and decide that they will use force to take Lucy. The Sugarboy look-alike produces a long wooden stick from his clothes, holding it as a microphone and unleashing a loud song from it. As the song plays, globules of thick green mucus-like substance begin to pour from his body and surround the Fairy Tail Mages. As Fairy Tail tries to counter-attack, the phlegm consumes and immobilizes them, and they warn those who have not yet been touched by the substance to stand clear. Concurrently, Macao is attacked by the Coco look-alike, who dodges both his, Wakaba’s and Romeo's attacks with speed and finesse. The trio then halt their attacks, laughing at the guild for being so weak, and Carla and Pantherlily finally realize that the trio are not the people they met in Edolas, but their Earth Land counterparts.

The Earth Land counterparts state that they will attack again if Lucy is not handed over, but upon hearing these words, Natsu stands and attacks the group, telling Lucy to run. However, Earth Land's Hughes releases her Magic, and Natsu finds himself unwillingly attacking his own comrades. When the others try to attack, they also find themselves incapable of attacking their opponent. However, they also notice that they are becoming quickly exhausted, and believe that the green gloop they were attacked by is siphoning their energy. When the trio declares that they will attack at full power again unless Lucy is handed over, Lucy prepares to reveal herself. However, before she can, Michelle steps forward instead, stating that she is Lucy, and telling the trio that they can take her if they promise to stop attacking the guild.

Lucy won't accept Michelle being taken in her stance, and declares that she is the real Lucy. However, Michelle puts on a performance, stating that Lucy is Michelle trying to protect her. The two of them begin to get into an argument, with both claiming to be Lucy. Just as the trio prepares to take Michelle away for being Lucy, they determine that it must be her as she is older. The rest of the guild joins in, with Levy, Laki, Wendy, Mirajane, Lisanna and even Elfman calling themselves Lucy as well, confusing their Earth Land enemies. The trio eventually decides to just round up the entire guild, and Fairy Tail attacks, telling Lucy and Michelle to escape and find Master Makarov. Lucy and Michelle run for it, with Coco pursuing them.

When Lucy and Michelle eventually stop to rest, they begin to discuss whether the mysterious trio are in fact the ones responsible for the church attacks. They are then found by Coco, who demands Lucy to come with her. The two girls then reverse their tactic, pointing to each other as the real Lucy and confusing Coco further. When Virgo then appears and helps with the farce as well, Coco is distracted enough for the three to run.

Meanwhile, at the guild, Earth Land's Sugarboy and Hughes resume their attack, but have decided that the real Lucy must either be Michelle or Lucy, as they were the ones told to run. Using Natsu to make a distraction, the two escape, with Jet and Droy arriving just in time to see them leave, and the destruction they have left behind. As everyone tends to the injured, Natsu, Happy, Pantherlily, Carla and Wendy head out to search for Michelle and Lucy. Whilst looking, the two cats and young girl are attacked by Coco, and Natsu and Happy run into Earth Land Sugarboy, who asks to engage them in battle. Before they can fight though, a giant octopus interrupts their fight, the man riding it telling Earth Land Sugarboy not to lose sight of their actual objective. Earth Land Sugarboy soon reveals through conversation that the man atop the octopus is Earth Land's Byro, who appears much younger than his Edolas counterpart.

Subsequently, Lucy and Michelle are found by Earth Land Hughes, who controls Michelle with her Magic and prepares to make Michelle throw herself over a nearby cliff. Lucy grabs Michelle to try and stop her, but Hughes' Magic forces Michelle over the edge, with Lucy and the metal rod falling with her.

Legion of Doom!
Somewhere in a canyon, Byro and Sugarboy are facing off against Natsu and Happy. Natsu attacks Sugarboy, but his attack is absorbed by Sugarboy's Slime Magic. Meanwhile, Lucy and Michelle are falling off a cliff due to Mary Hughes' Command Magic, so Lucy summons Aries to create a wool cushion for them to land on. When Mary Hughes pursues them, Lucy summons Taurus to attack her but to no avail, as Taurus is amused by Hughes' breasts. Lucy then summons Scorpio in Taurus' place.

Meanwhile, Wendy, Carla and Pantherlily are facing off against Coco, when Lily then shifts into his battle form, declaring that even though she appears similar to the Coco he knew in Edolas, she is his enemy and he will strike her. At the same time, Byro and Kanaloa leave Sugarboy and Natsu to fight and instead encounters Gildarts, who instigates a battle between the two. Jason then shows up from the bushes, and Gildarts asks if he's still following him. In her battle against Mary Hughes, Lucy begins to believe that she has the upper hand, as Mary Hughes' Magic prevents her from controlling those who are not human, meaning that Lucy's Spirits can fight her on equal ground. However, Mary Hughes takes control of Lucy's body instead, and continues to put her in range of Scorpio's attacks, so that the Celestial Spirit is forced to avoid hitting her. However, whilst he attempts to not hit Lucy, Scorpio accidentally strikes Michelle instead, knocking her unconscious.

Concurrently, Natsu and Happy are still fighting Sugarboy, and the latter tells them that his slime doesn't just absorb the Magic of others, but it can also turn into the properties of what it absorbs. He demonstrates this by turning the slime hand under his control into fire, and repeatedly hits Natsu with it. In his fight against Byro, Gildarts seems to be experiencing some trouble, as Byro has the ability to negate all Magic attacks he is faced with, and repeatedly dodges Gildarts' attacks by doing so. When Gildarts asks the man why they require Lucy, Byro states that it is not the girl they need, but the item in her possession. He also mentions that he is one of six members of an organization called the Legion Corps.

Meanwhile Natsu and Sugarboy continue their fight, with the two combatants ending up in a sticky situation as they get stuck together by Sugarboy’s slime due to Natsu altering its properties. They continue to quarrel and fight until Gray appears and breaks the slime with his Magic. Back with Gildarts and Byro, Erza comes in from the sky and attacks with her Giant's Armor, joining Gildarts in his attempt to take Byro and his octopus down.

Meanwhile, Mary Hughes obtains the clock hand and uses a signal to tell the others that she attained the clock hand.

Heartfillia Konzern Chaos
At Fairy Tail, Gildarts discusses with the Fairy Tail members about the identity of the people who attacked them are, stating that they were the Legion Corps. With Lucy feeling low due to her losing the memento, the others plan to help her get it back no matter what. Makarov recalls the events that took place: the Zentopia raid, the mystery clock hand and now a crusade. Gray asks about the people who went in pursuit of the thieves, but Erza says that Warren lost track of them. Erza then mentions that the crusade must be something big, in which the mystery clock hand is necessary, and everyone wonders what it could possibly be needed for.

Somewhere far away, an old man dreams of the mystery clock hand and says "Time is etched and then chaos descends". Carla has a premonition of this and feels a weird vibe, however she ignores it. Lucy and Cana discuss the crusade, with Natsu being completely out of the loop. The rest of Fairy Tail converses on how the Church robbing them isn't an act of holiness. The Fairy Tail members eventually decide to do an investigation into the matter.

Lahar and a team of Rune Knights are by a church, monitoring it in case it is attacked, but dismiss the idea as they have the church surrounded. However, a teddy bear appears inside the church and blows it up, shocking the group. The teddy bear appears before Lahar and introduces himself as Jackpot, taunting the Rune Knights and then attacking them. After knocking out almost all of the Knights, Jackpot disappears, with Lahar commenting that he is truly a deceptive and unpredictable foe. Concurrently, in an unknown location, the old man talks to his people about his dream again and how he doesn't want to sleep. He tells them that the anniversary event is coming near, and requests that they summon the cardinals just in case, as he says that making difficult choices is a duty of the Archbishop.

Team Natsu, as well as Carla and Wendy, later arrive at the Heartfilia Konzern mansion, planning on searching it for some clues on the memento and the events surrounding it. Team Natsu starts investigating the mansion; Lucy and Michelle make their way up to the attic, whilst the others search the bottom story rooms. In the attic, Lucy finds a picture of her mother and father and talks about it, promising that she'll buy back the mansion and to restore it, with Michelle saying it's a lovely idea. Michelle and Lucy later go to Jude’s study and look around until Michelle finds a strange book titled "To My Daughter".

The book appears to be completely blank; however Crux is summoned and tells them that the book has no Magic or invisible ink which could potentially be hiding some text. He does however tell them that maybe the title itself will solve the riddle. Natsu and Happy later walk into the study to find Michelle, Lucy, Erza, Gray, Wendy and Carla trying to decipher the anagram. Carla spots the word "myth" within the letters, and they later find the words "duo" and "great". Lucy figures out that it's connected to a book called "The Two Great Myths", which leads her to a book called "Life of the Clockwork". Lucy says that she has that book and continues to say that the other myth is another book called "The Key to the Starry Heavens". Whilst watching Lucy with the book, Carla hallucinates and sees the book cover saying "No".

Lucy says that there might be a message in the books, and as she starts to look, the door handle to the study starts to expand, subsequently breaking the door. An Exceed appears, wanting the book and claiming that he's the head of the Legion Corps, by the name of Samuel. Erza, Gray and Natsu try to attack Samuel, but he is protected by a man in iron-clad armor, with the mansion taking damage from their attacks. The man in the iron-clad armor introduces himself as Dan Straight, and claims that he has a Magic shield which can reflect any attack. When the others attempt to attack and fail, Lucy tries to make a run with the book, but Dan spots her, seemingly falls instantly in love with her, and stops her. Dan starts ranting about how beautiful Lucy is, with Team Natsu awestruck at what's happening. Dan continues to fawn over Lucy's figure until Erza interrupts, telling Michelle and Lucy to run. Natsu and Gray attack Dan as Lucy and Michelle flee.

Erza attacks Dan, however, his Magic ability to shrink and enlarge objects helps him to quickly overcome her. Lucy makes her way out to the hall, but Samuel blocks her path, stating that he has predicted all of their moves. Natsu tries to attack Samuel, but the cat dodges his attacks until Dan appears and strikes Natsu out the window. Gray and Wendy then attack but nearly get crushed by the roof collapsing above them, and Samuel states that it has all gone according to plan. Happy, Lucy and Michelle find Natsu outside, but as Natsu was hit by Dan's spear, he has shrunk to the size of a doll. When Dan and Samuel follow, Lucy throws the book to Happy and tells him to run with it, however, Samuel finds the real book under Michelle's dress. After using a pair of Gale-Force Reading Glasses, Samuel tells Lucy that he has read the contents of the book and doesn't need it anymore. Erza, Wendy and Gray then try to attack, but their attacks are deflected by Dan and nearly attack Lucy. Samuel and Dan then leave, with Dan stating that he and Lucy will meet again and go on a date. Standing in the rubble of her old house, Lucy wonders what her father is trying to tell her.

The Misadventures of Fairy Tail
In Fairy Tail, everyone is commenting on Natsu's size, with Mirajane, Happy and Gray jeering him. Everyone starts laughing until Lucy tells them to be quiet. Lucy explains that the Key of the Starry Heavens is about a girl who is told she can become happy if she can gather six special keys, so she goes off to collect them. But in the end, the people around her became unhappy. It goes on to say that the first key goes on a journey and Gray explains how the key went on its journey. Lucy then explains that the girl goes on a journey to find five other keys and finds them in various places. In the end, she finds the last key in a church. Lucy deducts that the clock parts are hidden in these locations and vows to find them. Everyone then splits up into groups and start searching them.

Pantherlily is then shown leading Jet, Droy and Levy somewhere. Levy says that this is not the direction in which they are supposed to be heading, but he doesn't seem to care. Pantherlily states that they are looking for one more powerful person.

Elsewhere, Gray and Juvia are traveling in a forest. Gray wonders why he is paired up with her while she dreams of a married life with Gray. Lyon Vastia then interrupts her fantasy and joins them in their quest. Gray keeps asking why he is here with Lyon replying that he is worried about the two of them. The scene then switches to Natsu, Lucy, Happy, Michelle, and Romeo on board a ship, with Natsu complaining about the transportation. Happy expresses his doubts over the group traveling without anybody strong, with Natsu in his tiny state. He goes on to say that he is the only one strong enough to protect the group. Romeo retorts that he also can use Magic. Lucy gets up and ponders over what chaos can mean, until four old men show up and ask them if they are the members of Fairy Tail. Meanwhile, Pantherlily, Jet, Droy and Levy arrive at a waterfall. Pantherlily starts to look for the person until Levy points at somebody within the waterfall. Gajeel is seen meditating under the waterfall, to which Levy asks Gajeel what he is doing and he tells her to be quiet because he is training. Just then, a lightning bolt strikes Gajeel, which he miraculously survives. Gajeel tells them his method of training and yells at them to go away. Pantherlily then joins his training and Levy states that they are getting sidetracked from their mission.

Erza, Wendy, Carla and Cana are traveling on serene grassland, with Erza dragging her usual pile of luggage. Wendy comments on how the day feels like The Key of the Starry Heavens and how she feels like the girl. They then stop and see Erza all set up with a picnic. She asks them if they would like to join but Wendy says that they are getting off track. Erza does not listen to her and exclaims how this is her first picnic. Suddenly, a group of bandits arrive and claim that this land is their territory and they should have asked their permission if they wanted to have a picnic. Erza gets angry by this and stands up. The bandits then recognize them and talk about them looking for treasure. After that, they start eating Erza's food. Erza loses her temper, requips into her Lightning Empress Armor and starts punishing them for ruining her picnic.

Back to Gray, Juvia and Lyon, Juvia thinks about the love triangle while Gray displays his irritation towards Lyon for tagging along. Gray asks him why he is there and Lyon responds by saying that they can never find the clock part by themselves. Gray gets angry with this and tries to challenge him, but Lyon calmly dismisses him and says that finding the clock part is more important. Gray changes the topic and asks him where he got the information from and Lyon replies that everybody knows it. Later, Elfman, Mirajane and Lisanna are seen having a picnic, with Lisanna disagreeing about the idea of having a picnic on top of a cliff.

Meanwhile on the ship, the Archaeological Society introduce themselves and ask them if they are looking for the clock parts. Lucy asks them where they attained such information, to which Michelle assumes that there is a spy in the guild because she is sure that Zentopia Church would not allow this kind of information to leak out. The Archaeological Society attempt to dissuade them from their journey and Lucy questions their motive. They refuse to answer and go on to explain how the book talks about places important in an arcaeological point of view. Lucy claims that she had already figured that out when she was little.

Erza, meanwhile, is fighting the bandits who ruined her picnic. Cana asks if she is going too far. With a big finish, Erza sends the bandits flying. Elsewhere, Gray, Juvia and Lyon reach the ruins they were supposed to go to. Gray asks how do they start searching to which Lyon and Juvia have no answer to. Back at the ship, The archaeological Society are still trying to dissuade Lucy but then she explains why finding the clock parts is so necessary to her. They are touched by this when suddenly a gust of wind blows Natsu off the ship. The Archaeological Society then jump off the ship on efforts to save Natsu, in the process, also returning him to his original size. They explain that since Lucy's speech inspired them so much, they decided to help Natsu turn into his original form. Lucy thanks them and waves them goodbye. The Archaeological Society then talks about them reaching their destination. The head, who turns out to be an acquaintance of Jude Heartfillia, worries about what will happen when they get there, which ends up being a desert in the middle of nowhere.

Slime and Ice: Gray VS Sugarboy
Despite them believing the location of the clock part they are searching for is lost amongst the dunes of sand in a desert, Romeo of Lucy's search party soon notices something gleaming amongst the dunes, which leads the group to a strange looking device standing stark in the wasteland. Believing it is some kind of entrance to the place they are searching for, the trio ponder over how to activate the device, before soon seeing a small keyhole at its center. Possessing no key, Lucy summons Cancer, who proceeds to pick the lock with his scissors. The device activates and opens, sucking the group down beneath the sand.

Meanwhile, the other search party of Gray, Juvia and Lyon locate the entrance to the rocky temple they have been directed to. However, before they have a chance to enter, a golem comes to life above the door, attempting to block their entrance. Gray and Lyon proceed to try and take it out, but the golem is unaffected by Magic. Luckily, Juvia soon finds and attacks the golem's weak point, it's eye, which allows the group entrance. Whilst Lyon excitedly praises a flustered Juvia, Gray tells the two to stop mucking around and focus, with the trio entering the temple to find the mark of Zentopia on the wall.

Also unsettling them is the mass of floating blocks that appear all around them, with strange orange arrows marking their sides. Deciding not to touch anything, the group split up to explore, but Lyon's curiosity gets the better of him and he tries to use his Magic on one of the blocks. He soon finds out that when touched with Magic, the blocks move in the direction of the arrows on their surface. When Lyon and Juvia get off track talking about their own love fantasies, Gray asks them to focus on what the blocks could be used for. Juvia soon points out that the crest of Zentopia Church above them doesn't look quite right, and notes that there are square holes on every side of it. Moving four of the blocks into the said gaps, the Zentopia sign rotates and becomes correct, emitting a bright glow that teleports the three away.

Back in the desert, Lucy and her team awaken at the bottom of a large hole in the ground, only to be blocked by a door too. After trying many spoken commands and cliché open terms to get the door to budge, the five are allowed entrance when Romeo simply asks the door to open politely. Upon entering, the group find a large room with a statue in the middle. When Lucy excitedly rotates the statue to "try and find a hidden door like they do in adventure stories", the walls open to reveal massive columns and statues that slowly move towards them to try and squash them. Narrowly avoiding death my climbing into the mouths of the statues and flopping out their nostrils, Lucy once again rotates the statue, only the other way this time. However, this merely causes the trap to activate again. Fortunately, Virgo summons herself, and on Lucy's command, digs a hole in the ground, causing the group to fall yet again.

Concurrently, Gray's group awakens having been teleported to a strange place with other, larger floating blocks, and decide to use their Magic again to make the blocks form a bridge, which they follow to explore the labyrinth. Their search is cut short however when Earth Land Sugarboy appears, quickly trapping the unprepared Juvia and Lyon in his slime. Gray, having seen the Magic before, narrowly avoids the attack, and tells Lyon and Juvia to hang tight whilst he pursues Sugarboy, warning them that the slime will drain them of their Magic power and energy. Having figured out the blocks travel in a circle, Gray runs in the opposite direction to Sugarboy, and soon the two meet on the track again, trying to use the last remaining blocks to hit each other. However, the blocks fall into place, completing the circuit, which glows and allows the clock part they are searching for to appear. The two both vow to get it, and Gray strips off his shirt, with Sugarboy noticing that his heart is all aflutter much to Gray's confusion.

When Lucy's group lands, they find themselves in a long room lined with what appear to be tombs. When Natsu attacks one for having a similar appearance to Gray, he activates another trap that sends a large bolder rolling towards them. When the five run down the corridor, they encounter a narrow bridge, and after running along it, realise another bolder is rolling from the other direction too, so that they will be squashed in the middle when the two collide. Before this can happen though, the group jump off the bridge and down into the chasm below; Natsu and Romeo using their Magic to grab some rocky formations to stop their fall, and Lucy grabbing Michelle and doing the same, only using her whip. With no other way to go, the group decides to head down.

Gray and Sugarboy both make a break for the clock piece and grab it at the same time. The device begins to teleport them back, and Juvia and Lyon only just make it through too when Lyon freezes the slime and frees them. Arriving back at the original entrance to the temple, Sugarboy realises that he and Gray are both holding the clock piece, and that their hands are touching. After fantasizing about Gray falling for him, Sugarboy uses his Magic and grabs the piece from Gray, but is shortly after encountered by Lyon and Juvia, who along with Gray knock him out and take the piece back. Before they leave however, Sugarboy also states that Gray is taking his heart, something which causes the Ice Mage to cringe.

Whilst Lucy and her group explore the underground cavern, Lucy declares that she has an uneasy feeling. The group is soon encountered by Earth Land Coco and Dan Straight, proving her feeling correct.

Clash At The Graveyard
Inside the underground crypt, Natsu and the others are found by Dan and Coco. Dan spots Lucy behind Michelle and states it is destiny that they meet again. Natsu then attacks Dan, but the armored man deflects it with his shield, which then sets Lucy on fire. After the group use the distraction caused by Dan accidentally destroying some ruins to run away, Dan comes out from nowhere and talks to Lucy about their "love", but Coco interrupts him by saying they still have a mission to do. Afterwards Natsu again attacks Dan, but he reflects the attack again, and Lucy is set on fire once more. Dan tries to use Habaraki to shrink down Natsu, but misses and hits Lucy instead. Lucy tells Dan to turn her back to normal, but he decides to keep her, planning to put her on his desk as a decoration.

Coco tells Dan to fight Natsu later and that they still need to find the clock piece. Lucy is getting dizzy and she summons Sagittarius, but he is also affected by Habaraki's shrinking abilities. Sagittarius fires an arrow at Dan but it has no effect and he uses it as a toothpick. Dan is about to attack Sagittarius and Happy tells him to watch out but then steps on the Spirit himself. Michelle then has a plan: she ask Dan if she would like to marry Lucy in the crypt; it's a holy place and it would be perfect, and Dan agrees. Dan lets Michelle do the bridal plan, and she then says the honeymoon will be on an around-the-world cruise and that they will become constellations called the "Married Lovebirds" that decorate the sky. Dan says that would be wonderful, before he smells something horrible, which is Romeo's yellow fire; Romeo snuck up and set the flames off under Dan's armor. The smoke of the fire spreads out of the armor and Lucy is flung from Dan. Romeo tries to use his purple fire to catch Lucy, but she is then caught by Happy. Lucy and Happy are then attacked by Dan's Habaraki, but the Mage misses his targets and hits both Lucy and Happy. Lucy is returned to her normal size, but everyone is shocked to see that Happy has grown huge. Happy then steps on Natsu again.

Meanwhile, Gajeel and his group are climbing a cliff to reach the top of a mountain, and Levy starts to question whether they are on the right path or not. Concurrently, Erza states that her group are lost, and Cana states that they have been in going circles. Carla begins to think someone is playing a prank or trying to trap them.

Back with Lucy's group; Natsu tells Happy to stop flying as he is destroying the ruins, to which Happy responds by telling Natsu that if he doesn't fly he might step on him again. Dan turns Happy back to his normal size, and Coco tells Lucy to give her the book so that they can find the location of the clock piece faster. Romeo uses his Magic to stop Coco, and he and the others run to escape from her. Natsu however remains, stating that he will take on Dan and finish him once and for all. Coco then chases Lucy again; Romeo again tries to stop her. Michelle ask Lucy where the part is, but as Lucy is searching for it she bumps into a statue which activates a trap. A giant hole opens in the floor and the group falls in; Coco then falls into the trap too. Lucy tries to save her from falling, but both end up slipping down into the hole. Lucy tells Michelle to go ahead and search for the clock piece, whilst she searches below.

Lucy tells Coco she knows another person who looks like her and tells her that she is kind and honest, but Coco sharply replies that she is not the same person. However, Lucy then steps on a trap and Coco saves her. Lucy then comments that Coco's counterpart and she were at first enemies, but then became friends, and the two get up to realise that they are at a dead end. Coco then touches a statue's face and it activates another trap; Coco is then covered in rocks and is knocked unconscious. Romeo and the others find Lucy and Coco, and Coco later wakes up finding her wound to be fixed. Lucy and the others continue searching for the piece.

Meanwhile, back with Gajeel's group, the search for the clock piece is failing as no-one can find it. Pantherlily jokes to Levy, Jet and Droy that they're on the wrong mountain and points to a much taller one, causing the three to collapse after thinking he was being serious. Gajeel states that the clock piece must be buried in the mountain, so he digs to find it.

Meanwhile, Erza's group has reached their destination: a magical library. Erza opens the door and sees a huge room filled with many books. Upon removing a book from a bookshelf, some other books fall out, revealing a Jiggle Butt Gang members wiggling backside. Concurrently, Natsu and Dan declare that they will both go full out at each other, as they don't have time to screw around when the clock piece still needs to be found.

True Evil Returns & The Seven-Year Difference
While Natsu is battling with Dan, the others; Lucy, Michelle, Romeo and Happy are in a chapel trying to find the clock part. Meanwhile, at the Magic Library, Erza and her team have an encounter with the notorious Jiggle Butt Gang. The gang is delighted to see their 'goddess', Wendy, who is horrified at their arrival. Erza berates them for putting Wendy in their signature outfit, although the three thieves rebuke that Wendy was happy to wear it. Carla, in an unexplained fury, rends the jumpsuit to shreds. Cana expresses the dreadful nightmares Carla has had about Wendy wearing the suit. The three thieves suddenly erupt into a hullabaloo of random comments, and brash displays of their 'evil'. Annoyed, Erza demands why they've come to the library, to which the leader of the trio express that everyone in the criminal underworld knows that Fairy Tail is searching for an incredible treasure. Wendy, irritated with the situation, throws on the jiggle butt attire (much to Carla's horror) and attempts to bring out the gang's 'true selves' and asks them to join Fairy Tail. The leader of the trio agrees to hear Wendy out, but insists that Erza dress in to the Jiggle Butt Gang attire in exchange. Contrary to Cana and Carla's protest, Erza stoically agrees. Finally wearing the apparel, she fixates a white flower into her hair that she picked up from the psydo-picnic they attempted to have earlier. She then attempts to have a philosophical discussion about true evil with the gang, questioning why they pride themselves with such an outfit.

Aware of Erza's intentional (or unintentional) distraction, Wendy tells Cana to take this opportunity to search for the clock piece while Erza to keeps the gang occupied. Cana then hands Wendy a communication card and explains its activation after finding something. While searching diligently, Cana reasons about the Legion's possible intentions and their ultimate, main goal with Carla. They eventually reach a few bookshelves containing information regarding the Lost Magics and begin searching.

Meanwhile, Natsu and Dan are still in brawl at the underground graveyard. Natsu modifies his strategy and indirectly attacks via a pillar, blinding Dan with a cloud of dust and debris. Managing to score a direct Fire Dragon's Iron Fist on Dan, Natsu finds that it brings little to no damage at all. Dan bellows a laugh and comments that Natsu's attacking power isn't as impressive as it looks and insists that because Natsu's time was frozen for seven years, and Dan has been training those seven years, there's no way he can lose. Natsu disregards Dan's comment and retaliates with Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame.

Dan's shield deflects it and sends Natsu flying down a long flight of stairs while Coco looks at him from a neighbouring staircase. Natsu finally crash-lands in the same chapel that Lucy and the others are searching for the clock piece. Dan arrives shortly after and upon seeing Lucy, calls her by a new nickname. Enraged, Natsu attacks Dan but is instead, once again minimized by his spear. As Dan approaches Lucy, Romeo steps in for her, taking a protective stance and attacks Dan with two purple fireballs, which proves to be useless as the attack is reflected.

Back at the library, the Jiggle Butt Gang weeps after the leader of the trio explains the origin of their suits. Erza says that she cannot cry over a story so callow and belittles their futile attempts of 'evil'. Erza impels that to be a leader, you must be a paragon and demands the boss of the trio to do a simple 100 push-up demonstration to show his lackeys at least a 'fraction' of his power. The boss relents after seeing the hopeful gaze of his lackeys and begins to do push-ups at a rapid, un-paced speed.

Back at the chapel, Romeo suddenly realizes, that continuing their fight with Dan, may devastatingly destroy the chapel and the hidden clock piece. Michelle theorizes that Dan might not know where the clock piece is hidden within this particular chapel, considering that Natsu and him just happened upon there by accident. She concludes that decoy must occupy and distract him. Michelle, Romeo, and Happy, all turn to Lucy and grin. Lucy, aware of the situation is dismayed and against the plan. They rationalize that Lucy is the only one that could catch Dan's attention and hold it long enough for them to return Natsu back to human size and quickly finish him. Lucy grudgingly and unwillingly agrees be the decoy. Romeo gradually gets cornered and as Dan springs forward with his spear to jab at his opponent, until Lucy calls to him with yearn. Frozen neck down, he slowly turns his head to see Lucy in a white bikini, a bride veil, and white heels. Dan, oblivious to anything else around him, falls for the trap and skips after Lucy, nose bleeding and all.

Happy then flies and drops Natsu on Dan's spear, causing him to be returned to his normal form. Natsu combines his flames with Romeo's and they successfully knock out Dan in a single combined fireball. The wall glows from the impact and the hidden clock part is revealed. Happy, asserting the importance of this moment, starts crying as it is the first time Lucy's sexual charm worked. Albeit, Coco is hidden behind a wall, observing the group.

Meanwhile in the library, the boss of the Jiggle Butt Gang is struggling with his 38th push-up. Erza continues to disdain the trio's leader. The leader then shows Erza his gluteus maximus and proudly exclaims it is the gang's pride and joy. He assembles his lackeys and they galvanize to use Gas Butt Triple Ecstasy to which they blast Wendy, who pushes Erza out of the way just in time. The pungent smell spreads throughout the library and reaches Cana and Carla. As Cana stumbles backwards into a shelf, it falls inwards and a secret passage is revealed. At the end of the passage, Cana and Carla find the clock part. Wendy, noticing the communication card that Cana gave her has activated, informs Erza that Cana has found the clock piece. When the gang hears this, the boss attaches his posterior to Erza's face (specifically her nose) and fires a Point Blank Ecstasy before running off to find the clock piece. The Jiggle Butt Gang ignite another Gas Butt Triple Ecstasy again when they find Cana and Carla and run off with the clock part. However, they encounter a vehement Erza on their way out. Erza cries they deserve divine punishment for befouling her memento of the picnic and sends the gang flying. Cana wonders how they'll be able to carry out the clock part. When Erza sees it, she comments that it's nothing and they can just carry it along with her baggage.

Off on a distant mountain, Gajeel is digging into its peak but stops abruptly after awhile and says that someone is watching them. Further investigation reveals it to be Samuel, who is hovering above and says that he is here for the same thing they are.

'Exceed'ing Calculation
Samuel introduces himself to Gajeel and the others and refers to himself as the brain of Legion. Meanwhile, Natsu and his group are commenting in how big the clock part is, while Coco watches them. Dan suddenly wakes up behind them, Natsu asks if he wants to fight again but Dan rejects, admitting his defeat. All of them want an explanation on why the Legion Corps are after the clock parts. Dan starts the story of his past by showing them pictures of his past.

He says that he was born in the town of Cedar, where the knights protected the Church and the Town. In his family, people were knights generation after generation. So as the next successor of his family, he was raised with care and affection. But soon a Civil War started, which split the towns in half. Romeo and Michelle interrupt him by thinking that his family died in the fight which Dan reveals it as the war lasted for half a day and everyone was okay. Lucy thinks that it was more of a fight than a war.

Dan continues to explain about his life. There was a girl Dan fell in love with in the town, but after the war she was nowhere to be found. Lucy, Michelle and Romeo again conclude that she dies but Dan mentions that she looked just like Lucy. Happy thinks that it is the reason why Dan fell in love with Lucy. Natsu asks what happened to her to which Dan replies that the next day he found her and she was alive. He used to ask for her hand for marriage almost everyday, but she seemed frightened by how happy Dan made her that she refused. Dan cried for 3 days and nights and after that he planned on going to a journey. During his journey he met many girls, Happy notes that the are all different types and Michelle says that he was only looking for the image of his first love which Dan replies no. He says that all of them declined him for a reason he himself does not know. Michelle asks who drew the pictures and Dan replies that Mary Hughes and Sugarboy drew it based on his dairy and photos. Happy says that the pictures may represent what actually happened, Dan ends his story by saying that somewhere along the way, he became an Legionnaire and now he is helping Byro to find the missing clock pieces.

Lucy asks to know about Legion and its aim, Dan says he can't reveal that or Byro will punish him. Natsu gets frustrated and asks why did he explain about his past when they wanted to know about Legion's plans. After explaining everything, he starts chasing Lucy again. Natsu suggests that they should wait, even though Lucy yells at them to do something. Michelle asks where is the other Legionnaire and by hearing that Lucy stops and thinks if she got hurt again or not. Romeo says not to worry about her and that she is the enemy. Coco sees how Lucy is worried.

Meanwhile, Samuel is called Sammy by Gajeel which Samuel gets angry at. Pantherlily then says that he will take care of Samuel while Gajeel, Levy, Jet and Droy look for the clock piece. Gajeel agrees and warns him not to lose. Samuel then calls Pantherlily older brother, much to his dismay. Samuel states that he knows that Pantherlily went through a lot of trouble because he sided with the humans. Lily says that it is controlled by faith and doesn't think it was a mistake. Samuel sighs at this and tells him to take things the smart way, like him. Lily then transforms into his original form, which prompts Samuel to do the same. They start fighting while Gajeel is digging, trying to find the ruins and falls into a hole, along with Levy, Jet and Droy. When they get up, they see that the ruins is filled with tall, blue, rock statues in a circle. Back to Pantherlily and Samuel, Samuel is dodging all of Pantherlily's attacks. Pantherlily says to fight fair and square but Samuel replies that is what slow-witted beings do and attacks him. Going on to say that the Legionnaires have been through vigorous training to any situation, he pushes Panthelily off a cliff and praises himself. Pantherlily then ambushes him and says that Gajeel and the others must have found the part already, which Samuel reveals that there are traps in the ruins.

In the ruins, Jet climbs atop one of the statue and looks at the place with a bird's eye view. Gajeel and Levy find ancient writing on a statue and Levy translates it as "I am hungry". Jet comments that the place looks like a giant clock face. Droy deduces that "I am hungry" and the clock face might mean snack time, and Levy praises him. Gajeel then moves the three hands into forming snack time. After Gajeel moves the three hands, the ground starts to rumble and the clock part appears. Gajeel licks the clock part and confirms that it is made of iron, which disgusts Jet and Droy. Levy then finds some writing on the pillar and starts to translate it but Gajeel yells at her that they don't need to do that and grabs the part. The rock on which they were standing on starts to rise to reveal a huge moving statue. Levy then deciphers the writing as "Warning! The stone guardian won't abide by anyone trying to steal this", much to her dismay. She starts bickering with Gajeel about his stupidity until the statue attacks them. Back at their fight, Samuel and Pantherlily sense the quake and Samuel thinks that they have triggered something and says that it is all according to his calculations and worked so that Pantherlily could be separated from the rest. Levy deduces that the weak point is on top of its head and Droy exclaims that it is time for some teamwork. Levy uses Solid Script: Oil and Droy uses his magic to stop the statue from moving. Jet then runs up the vines to reach the clock part. It goes well until the statue tears some of the plants and makes Jet fall. Droy uses his magic to stop his fall but to no avail. Jet tries again but he slips because some of the oil got stuck to his shoe. Droy gives it a try but he gets tired quickly and fall on top of Jet. Gajeel also gives it try. Outside, Pantherlily gets free from Samuel's grasp and demands if he is an Exceed that was sent to Earth Land too, when he agrees. Gajeel is almost going to reach it until he gets thrown off from the statue. He then thinks that he can't do anything with an empty stomach and sees the clock part and thinks of eating it, which Levy angrily refuses. Gajeel then throws the part to Levy and Goes up to the statue and defeats him. Samuel gets shocked by this and frets about how his calculations could have gone wrong. Pantherlily then takes the opportunity and defeats Samuel. Pantherlily then offers him to battle again but Samuel goes on about how next time, he will be able to defeat them, which annoys Pantherlily and sends him flying.

Elsewhere, Lisanna is looking for the clock part underwater and finds a huge plug. She opens it and all the lakes water transfers to the next lake. Elfman notices the water level and asks Mira what is happening, Mira then concludes that it must be Lisanna’s work. While going to Lisanna, they find the missing clock part. After a short conversation (which includes Lisanna breaking the fourth wall by saying she wanted to "appeal to the people"), Elfman goes over and pulls out the clock piece. Without any control over himself, he throws it; Lisanna asks why he threw it. Mary Hughes goes over and takes the clock piece, they see her and guess that she was following them. Elfman fights to get the clock part back, Hughes controls it so that it can hit Mira and Lisanna, but they dodge it.

Natsu is surprised by how long Lucy and Dan can take, which annoys him, and Romeo says he is hungry. Lucy continues to whine about Dan and Dan starts talking about soulmates. Lucy states that before, he said any girl would do. Happy asks that if any girl would do, why not Michelle. Dan turns to look at Micelle, and says that he likes girls who are spunkier, to which, Happy agrees. Virgo suddenly pops out asks Lucy what she should do; Coco overhears Virgo calling Lucy a Princess. Coco starts to admire Lucy, thinking that it is the reason of her beauty. Dan notices Virgo and asks if she is the maid, and asks to bring food or something. Virgo says that she doesn’t have any food buy she could dance, so Virgo starts to dance. Dan says that it reminds him of his home town’s dance and dances along. Lucy thinks both of them are weird. Virgo goes to Lucy and says that she has done her job and disappears while Dan continues dancing. Suddenly, Byro comes, disappointed at Coco and Dan for not doing their job. Dan admits that he lost sight of the job and goes off to his “soulmate” but then a boulder hits him. Lucy and Michelle then see that the staff he is yielding is Jude’s memento. Natsu demands Byro to give it back because it is Lucy’s or he will have to fight him, with Byro agreeing that they should fight.

The Malicious Manipulator: Demon Halphas vs. Satan Soul
At the Fairy Tail guild, Alzack, Bisca and Asuka sit and read the Key of the Starry Heavens book, with Asuka seeming uncertain over the ending. In the guild hall, Macao expresses his worry over Romeo, with Kinana and Wakaba listening.

Romeo himself is in some trouble though, with Byro Cracy having arrived on Kanaloa in the underground ruins. As Natsu laughs at the older man and the octopus, he suddenly realises that should he beat Byro, he will in turn be surpassing Gildarts, who failed to best the man. With this in mind, the two engage in battle, but Kanaloa's squishy body and deadly ink prove to be more formidable than first thought. As Kanaloa fires, Lucy and Natsu save Coco and Dan from the attacks, yelling at Byro for almost harming his own allies, but Byro dismisses this by stating that any member of the Legion Corps is prepared to throw their life away for their goals. As he talks of all the lives being lost, the clock piece in the wall behind him starts to glow with strange golden symbols.

The clock piece being held by Mary Hughes also begins to glow, and Mary states that she needs to get it home soon. Upon hearing this, Elfman, Lisanna and Mirajane vow to not let her escape, and Mary Hughes decides to teach the group a lesson. She uses her Command Magic on Mirajane, forcing a Satan Soul clone of Mirajane to separate itself from the woman. Using the strength and speed of the clone, Mary Hughes begins to attack and surpass Elfman, as Lisanna watches and wonders what to do.

Concurrently, Gajeel, Levy, Jet, Droy and Pantherlily are returning after having collected their clock piece, annoyed that Samuel has been following them the whole time. After asking what the Exceed wants with them, Samuel asks Pantherlily for a private talk. Also returning home with their part are Erza, Wendy, Cana and Carla, who are all shocked to find themselves still wearing the dark skin-tight suits of the Jiggle Butt Gang. They disregard the fact though and sit down for another picnic, only to be encountered by the Jiggle Jugs Gang, a trio of large, chest-wobbling women who try to make them leave the area, claiming it to be theirs. When they overstep the line and try to eat Erza's picnic food, Erza summons forth Demon Blade Crimson Sakura and makes short work of the women, whilst Cana, Wendy and Carla shake their buttocks and watch on.

Meanwhile, Mary Hughes uses Mirajane's Satan Soul clone to quickly overpower both Elfman and Lisanna. Awakening to see her siblings in danger, Mirajane wonders what to do. When her clone fires a deadly Magic ray at the trio, Mirajane springs into action and uses Take-Over: Demon Halphas to block the attack. Despite the master having forbid her to use it, Mirajane moves to turn the fight around.

Also trying turn the fight around are Natsu and Lucy, with Lucy summoning Aquarius to counter Kanaloa's ink. However, when Natsu and Romeo move in for the attack, the pink octopus is still able to counter them. After yelling at Byro for taking the clock part that belongs to her, Lucy is told by Byro that he is not stealing the part, but safekeeping it. Byro goes on to explain that the parts of the clock go together to make the "Infinity Clock", and should this happen, the world will end. He states that the Zentopia Church's Archbishop has ordered the Legion Corps to collect all of the pieces to prevent this from happening, as they believe the pieces to be too dangerous in the hands of a mere Mage guild. However, the Fairy Tail Mages soon point out that should Byro's words be true, nobody should have the clock pieces, and they should be left where they are. This slightly shocks Byro, who just replies by saying that whatever the Archbishop has declared must be correct, therefore justifying his retrieving of the parts. However, Michelle disagrees saying that everybody makes mistakes and that is why wars like the one between Fairy Tail and Zentopia will occur.

Concurrently, Kinana collapses at the Fairy Tail guild, her arms glowing purple and her eyes wide with shock. She begins to say that she can hear everything and that "it is near", before fainting. Macao consoles the other guild members by saying that she has had fits of this sort before, and he and Wakaba then seek Makarov for assistance.

In her fight against Mary Hughes, Mirajane gets the upper hand with her advanced Take-Over. However, Mary Hughes declares the fight not over and uses her Magic in taboo to merge herself with the Satan Soul clone. Now one, Mary Hughes attacks again, but Mirajane is still able to overpower her. As she scolds Mary Hughes for her ways with the Zentopia Church, Mirajane strikes one final time and knock Mary Hughes out, with Elfman and Lisanna watching on in shock.

At the underground cavern, Lucy vows to get all of the clock parts anyway and she and Romeo use their Magic to hold down Kanaloa whilst Natsu finally takes out the annoying octopus. Having jumped off his friend, Byro declares their actions to be blasphemous, but also notes that he senses all of the clock parts coming together soon at their location. Knowing he needs to have secured the two parts in his location before that happens, he moves to engage the group seriously.

Whilst talking privately to Pantherlily, Samuel brings to light that Exceed perceive time differently to humans, and that due to this there was something in the Key of the Starry Heavens book that leapt out at him. As he moves to explain, Asuka is seen at the guild claiming to hate the book, The Zentopia Archbishop sets out candles in preparation for "the end", and Gildarts and Laki arrive at a serene location.

The Righteous Path that Leads to Chaos
The clock parts start to glow while the Archbishop states that the time has begun. Meanwhile, Kinana wakes up and hears a voice; she asks who it is. Elsewhere, Natsu attacks Byro but he nullfies it. Lucy then tries to summon Capricorn but Byro nullfies her summoning technique as well. Natsu decides to fight using hand to hand combat but he gets beaten up. While Coco watches the fight, Dan wakes up and states that he had a dream about Titania confessing her love to him. Happy carries Natsu away to bring him to safety but Byro nullifies his Magic and they fall. Dan tells Coco that though Natsu is their enemy, he's still got guts. At the same time, Kinana asks what happened to her; Macao tells her she just has anemia, which is why she collapsed. However, Kinana denies it, stating that it must be from the spell and that she still can't remember her time as a snake. She wonders what will happen if she does remember, worried that she will no longer be able to stay at Fairy Tail.

Kinana then remembers when she first arrived at the Fairy Tail guild: she had stated that she didn't remember anything from when she was a snake but she remembered a promise, in which someone told her that even if they were separated, he would ride a shooting star to come and get her back someday. Makarov had stated that she was under a curse, while Wakaba asks whether when he lifted the curse if she was really a girl to begin with. Macao had then stated that they would protect her no matter what. In the present, Wakaba tells her to be quiet and get some rest. Meanwhile, Natsu tells Byro that lives aren't meant to be tossed away like garbage, and that they're fighting for a friend. Byro states that guild wizards take jobs only for the money, but Happy and Lucy deny that. Byro then gives examples to Lucy and Happy of "rent" and "food expenses", at which both are shocked at his accurate guessing. Natsu replenishes his energy by eating the flames of the crypt candles.

Concurrently at Zentopia, hundreds of priests have gathered praying. Many wonder whether or not they should replace the Archbishop. However, a cardinal by the name of Lapointe blasts the idea. He says they must have faith and that he would look after the Archbishop, adding that only he will be allowed to have an audience with him. Back at the crypt, Natsu continues to fight Byro and despite his renewed vigor, is losing quite horribly. Lucy, Michelle, Happy, and Romeo watch from the side as the fight progresses. As they watch, the little girl from the "Key of the Starry Heavens" book appears and speaks to Lucy, saying "don't...".

Byro continues to go on about the righteousness of his cause, but Michelle disagrees. She states that Byro doesn't decide things based on emotion, but by following his cause; saying that he does not have a sense of conscience and that it would be easy for anyone like him to make such choices. Byro throws Natsu aside and angrily questions Michelle on what a righteous cause really is. Happy states to Byro that his rightful cause makes people sad and suffer and asks if that's the way everyone wants to go. Byro has had enough of the Mages by now and uses Divine Arrow on Natsu, Lucy, Romeo and Happy, however the attack misses as he is pushed aside by Coco. Byro, astonished, asks Coco why she did that. Coco tells him that Legion should be helping the powerless lambs and that states that if the arrow has to go throse powerless lambs, then it should be broken. Byro snaps and decides to kill Coco with Divine Arrow too; Lucy tries to stop him but, realizing it is futile Coco thanks Lucy, adding that she grew to really desire to be her friend. Before the attack can hit the young girl though, it is stopped by Erza, who appears along with Gray, Juvia, Lyon, Mirajane, Elfman, Lisanna, Jet, Droy, Levy, Gajeel, Pantherlily, Carla, Cana and Wendy, who all have their clock parts.

Most of them try to attack Byro simultaneously (Even Natsu who knew it was useless), but he still manages to nullify the Magic. Before anything else can happen though, the clock pieces start glowing brighter and come together, letting out a horribly loud gong sound. Over Fiore, hundreds of priests and nuns start panicking at the sound. Lucy is pulled into a trance where she sees her father, who turns into the little girl from the "Key of the Starry Heavens" book. The girl tells Lucy that she warned her and now time is etched and chaos will ascend. Meanwhile, Natsu smells something, and looks up just as a familiar dark guild appears: the new Oración Seis, consisting of Angel, Midnight, Cobra, Racer, Erigor and Jackpot.

Renacido Oración Seis (Reborn Prayer Six)
The mysterious group of six look down upon the Fairy Tail members, as Lucy and Natsu realize who they are, exclaiming that that they are the Oración Seis. Erza and Gray comment on how differently they all appear, but Jackpot explains excitedly that they are not Oracion Seis, but the Reborn Oración Seis. Natsu asks if the person in the center is truly Midnight, who remarks that his new name is Brain II. Brain II then explains the goals of the Reborn Oración Seis before he, as well as his guildmates, raises their arms causing the mark of their Dark Guild to appear all over the clock. Natsu, Byro and Dan all start charging towards them but are attacked by Brain II's Darkness Magic, which even Dan couldn't reflect with his Ricochet and Byro with his Nullification Magic; the reason why is explained briefly by Jackpot as due to his Reflector Magic.

Brain II reveals why the Reborn Oración Seis now possess the clock as it rings again, followed by an explanation by his guildmates about how much Fairy Tail has helped them in this new goal of theirs. As he thinks back to their group's humiliation from seven years ago, Brain II orders Cobra and Racer to take care of all them. Cobra and Racer clash with the members of Fairy Tail but prove to be at a much more powerful level than them, reminiscent of when they first encountered the Light Team seven years ago. Racer isn't using his slowing magic anymore and Cobra's magical power has increased and he can now use one's voice against them.

Erza and Gray try to attack again, but they are stopped by Erigor, who is now a part of the new Dark Guild and going by the name of Grim Reaper, as he now has the power of storms at his disposal. To finish them all off, Angel gets ready to attack. She tells Lucy that she was too inexperienced back then and that she has obtained magical power worthy of being called an angel. True to her word, she uses her specialized Angel Magic that virtually destroys the building, leaving off a billow of smoke that fills the sky. Sugarboy, Mary Hughes and Samuel bear witness to it.

At the Magic Council, news breaks of the revived Oración Seis. Lahar presents himself before the Council and reveals that not only is Oración Seis indeed back along with former Eisenwald member Erigor, supported by the fact that they have broken out of prison to do so, but also that a Zentopia Church priest was regularly sent to visit the members during their imprisonment and that he did so in order to avoid being seen by survailance. Gran Doma instructs Lahar to find any recordings of when the Oración Seis broke out and Org adds how Zentopia Church needs to be paid a visit.

Much later, the members of Fairy Tail within the ruins, plus Lyon and Michelle, are rescued by Ichiya Vandalay and taken to the Blue Pegasus Building except for Lyon, who was taken back to his own guild. As the members recover slowly, they learn that the Oración Seis and Legion Corps could not be found during the time of the rescue. Lucy goes to visit the nearby ruins and finds Michelle. Michelle tells Lucy that all of this is her fault and that she never realized the horrors that the clock piece could bring. Lucy disagrees telling her that they both share the blame and that they could not have known what would happen. After consoling Michelle a little more, Lucy remembers the book that she has on the clock parts and decides to reread it back at the Blue Pegasus Building. She does so and realizes that the book specifically tells the readers not to go look for the clock pieces, disappointing her greatly. Her guildmates attempt to cheer her up about it and succeed in doing so, despite Lucy knowing what they are doing.

At the Zentopia Church, it is revealed that the Legion Corp members all managed to return safely. Byro Cracy requests to speak to the archbishop but is refused entrance by Cardinal Lapointe, who offers to tell the archbishop himself of Byro's news. Byro tries explaining that the Oración Seis stole the Infinity Clock, but is told by Lapointe that he already knows what has happened, surprising the others. He then order them on a new mission. Sometime later, Coco is shown in a dark room, apparently imprisoned. Lapointe tells her that she has betrayed Legion and must be punished, though Coco states that she already accepts it and has no regrets. It is then that the Infinity Clock sends a dark chime throughout Fiore. Team Natsu hears the chime as they fly aboard the Christina.

Chase The Clock
At someplace, the Reborn Oracion Seis places the Infinity Clock to an amplitude limiter and they discuss about completing the amplitude limiter and destroy the rest of the churches.

Meanwhile team Natsu is back at Fairy Tail and they discuss about the Reborn Oración Seis that they are worse than they were seven years ago and they couldn't do anything to stop them. Lucy says that her father should have left a more detailed message and they wonder how Lucy's father got involved with the Infinity Clock. Erza says to put that aside for now and they have to find the Oración Seis and take back the Infinity Clock. Natsu gives an idea on how to find the Oración Seis, but Gray opposes and he says that they should form a plan first, that makes the two of them start fighting with Juvia supporting Gray. Erza notices that many of them aren't there, with Max saying Gildarts and Laki are both far away, and Erza replies that in times like these, one person can make a big difference. Suddenly Erza is interrupted by the Thunder God Tribe who returns from a job and everyone is surprised to see them. Everyone then fills the Thunder God Tribe with the current situation about the Infinity Clock will bring end of the world. Freed adds that before he came back here, he was out grocery shopping by himself and there, he saw some guards were talking about two men, one who was running at a tremendous speed and the other holding a large sickle single-handedly destroyed a church. Natsu takes it as Grim Reaper and Racer. Bickslow asks Freed that why didn't he tell it earlier, but Freed says that he was ignored since Bickslow was busy eating.

Somewhere outside a town, the member of the Reborn Oración Seis except Brain II were discussing about destroying the churches there, but Cobra dismisses it by telling that they can't waste time. The group split up and Cobra and Angel attacks a church where the Fiore guards were protecting it. Cobra destroys the church with Sound Magic since the priest inside it was using Concealment Magic to protect himself. After they destroy the church, they start talking and Cobra says that all he needs is her that hasn't even changed now. Back at the guild's infirmary, Kinana wakes up and heads to the main hall, shocking Macao and Wakaba. Lucy asks what's wrong but Kinana ignores her and takes a fork. Wakaba is worried and tells her to get some rest, but Kinana starts murmuring and begins to engrave some letters into the wall. Lucy asks Kinana what she is doing, but the girl ignores her and continues.

Meanwhile, the Legionnaires are called together by Lapointe, who announces that they are going to get a new member. He continues saying that some time before, he opened the forbidden door of Zentopia's main prison. Dan asks what is he trying to unleash, and Lapointe summons four guards come with a prisoner chained up. When they see it, Dan and Mary are shocked and Mary notices that it is not even a human. The prisoner introduces himself as Guttman Kubrick and Byro concludes that he speaks through Telepathy. Guttman walks forward and his head collides with the wall, disabling it to walk forward. He uses his Magic to get past the wall and Byro mentions it is Rapture Magic and he says that he is also known as 'Guttman the Cleaner'. Byro asks if Guttman is going to be the new member of his Legion, to which Lapointe says the decision has been made.

A while later, outside, Lapointe meets Lahar and apologizes for being late. He asks if Lahar is the captain of the Council's Detention Corps, and what he can do for him. Lahar replies that he is here to check on something about the formerly imprisoned Oración Seis. Lahar tries to say that the Oracion Seis' breakout could have a connection with the church, but Lapointe says that he is trying to blame the church when it was the Council's fault. Lapointe tells him to leave, as this discussion can cause political problem. Lahar leaves, thinking about calling "him" for help. Back at the guild, Kinana mutters about the end of the world and Lucy guesses that she is remembering about her past. Elfman carries Kinana back to the infirmary while Levy examines the etchings. Lucy concludes that Kinana has been under a spell for a long time. Levy says the figures are ancient Potamelian, and roughly translates the figures to say that Will Neville was a Celestial Spirit Mage, and had mastered using them. Freed continues what Levy said, saying he had many disciples, but after he died, his disciple's whereabouts were unknown.

Lucy starts researching about Will Neville and finds out that he used to be a Cardinal of the Zentopia Church. However, she notices that there is nothing written about his disciples or about his Magic. Max wonders how Kinana knows more than a dictionary about Will Neville, and Happy adds that all of it was written in ancient language. Michelle says that the Key of the Starry Heavens was written by a former member of the church and then Jude used the book to give a message to Lucy. Max says that if only they knew where the Oracion Seis were going to attack, then they could wait there and strike. Cana wakes up behind the counter, whining that they are so noisy so she could not sleep for long. She asks if they want to find the Oracion Seis and takes out her pack of cards and Erza understands that she will do fortune telling.

Meanwhile, at one of the churches, the soldiers are battling Racer, Grim Reaper and Jackpot. Cobra says that she should be brought to him, but Angel points out that it is not their job. At the guild, Romeo puts up a map of Fiore onto the request board and Cana explains that she is going to find out the places Oracion Seis is targeting next, as well as who should go there. She throws the cards on the map, and the cards land at different places. Soon, Macao announces the following partners: Gray and Freed; Evergreen, Erza and Max; Gajeel and Juvia; Bickslow and Wendy; Happy, Carla and Pantherlily, and at last Natsu, Lucy, Michelle and Elfman. Macao complains that he is left out again and Juvia asks to trade partners with Freed or Gajeel trading places with Gray.

At the Zentopia church's prisons, Coco with a new prisoner, a priest where she asks him that why is he put in the prison if he is one survivors of the attacks of the churches caused by the Oracion Seis and the priest replies that he was targeted for being a curate and because he did not wanted to tell Cardinal Lapointe what he wanted to know. When Coco asks that what he means, Lapointe suddenly appears outside the prison saying "traitor..we meet at last". Lapointe asks the priest about the names of Neville's disciples, but the priest was afraid and walking behind. Lapointe uses his deformation magic to change the shape of the cell's door and enters the cell. Lapointe turns to Coco and tells her to see what happens to the ones who oppose Zentopia. Lapointe starts torturing the priest with his Deformation magic, making the priest scream in front of Coco. Elsewhere, a girl with her Spirit stares at the sky. Natsu's team are then shown staring at Jackpot and Byro Cracy.

Battle Started (Fairy Tail vs. Reborn Oración Seis)
Lahar is seen wandering through an unknown town when he enters a pub. Fiore soldiers are in the pub were mocking a drunkard, explaining that while he sits and gets drunk they are fighting in the name of justice. At this the drunkard fights the soldiers using Teleportation Magic. Lahar stops the man in the middle of the fight and reveals him to be Doranbolt. He asks Doranbolt to follow him and the two are seen standing upon a snow covered mountain top overlooking the town. Lahar tells Doranbolt that he needs his help with recent matters. Doranbolt agrees but insists on being called "Mest" from now on.

Natsu and Elfman prepares to fight Jackpot while Byro watches them from above. Natsu and Elfman rush at Jackpot but their attacks by his Slot Magic. Lucy points out that they must use teamwork to defeat him and she summons Cancer to help with the attack, but the three got trapped in one place by Jackpot's Slot Magic that causes the three to get burned by Natsu's attack and they start arguing with each other. Lucy is confused by this as Cana's divination were supposed to create teams with good chemistry.

Erza, Max and Evergreen are hiking up on a rocky mountain. Evergreen complains that her feet are killing her because of her heeled shoes and Erza suggests that she stops whining and continues onward. Evergreen bickers on Erza's that causes her to get angry, and Max questions that why they put together.Natsu's team wasn't going very well with Jackpot's Slot Magic, Natsu and Elfman tries to hit Jackpot but they are hit back by him before they can even lay a hit.

Somewhere in a forest, Happy, Carla and Pantherlily were having a break and they were showing to each other what their favorite food are. After Pantherlily shows his favorite food item, Samuel suddenly appears and he also shows his favorite food item.

When it starts raining, Lucy summons Aquarius to help Natsu, but she starts threatening Lucy instead since she was summoned from a muddy water. Aquarius attacks Jackpot with Bubble Shot and Natsu and Elfman charges as well, but Jackpot uses Return to counterattack Aquarius' Bubble Shot back hitting Natsu, Elfman and Aquarius that causes the three of them to fight each other. Lucy still questions Cana's divination since they were not getting along.

A mysterious blue haired Mage is seen standing beneath a large tree holding a Celestial Spirit. An unknown man runs up to her, exclaiming that it's too dangerous to wander outside alone. He tells her that someone named Fabrizio has been taken and she quietly says that it may be her turn next.

Gajeel and Juvia is seen walking on a rocky mountain, heading to their destination and they were talking about that if Juvia does not want to be paired up with Gajeel, then she can leave and run to that naked idiot. But Juvia says that she does not dislike Gajeel, and she tells him with her imagination that what kind of woman she is.

In an unknown mountain pass while walking, Wendy and Bickslow encounter Grim Reaper. Grim Reaper's lack of memory becomes evident as he doesn't remember being Erigor of Eisenwald. Grim Reaper first attacks them with a powerful blast of wind crashing down from the sky towards the ground by using his scythe and then sends a black tornado from the side, but Wendy and Bickslow dodges and stop them. Wendy then casts a supportive spell on Bickslow and on herself, surrounding the two in an aura and both then head towards Erigor blows them away into a rock. Bickslow and Wendy's attacks does not work very well on Grim Reaper and in the end, he catches cows from the mountain side inside a tornado, telling Wendy to be careful of flying objects due to strong wind and Bickslow pushes Wendy out of the way and all the flying cows fall on top of him until he is buried under a pile of cows.

Meanwhile Pantherlily, Happy and Carla discuss with Samuel about the Infinity Clock stolen by the Reborn Oración Seis and Carla asks Samuel that what is Legion after. Samuel says that the situation is complicated than expected according to his calculations, and Happy concludes that Samuel wants to help since he is a fellow Exceed. Samuel replies Happy is correct that makes Carla question him that aren't Zentopia's teachings everything to him, but Samuel replies that doctrine important and not at a time like this. Samuel asks Carla if she sense anything with her power of precognition and Carla says that she saw various unclear images that made her feel uneasy. Samuel takes the images as the Key of the Starry Heavens and Carla says that it was a warning. Samuel says that they weren't mean't to collect the parts of the clock and the device was originally the property of Zentopia. Samuel says that he has been given an unfathomable mission and he gets worried, Pantherlily asks if he wants to know the future and he replies that the most ominous of all is that Zentopia's doctrine is being misused.

Gajeel and Juvia arrive at their destination where they saw that the church is already destroyed that confuses them. They later saw Mary come out of the destroyed church and falls to the ground, and behind her was Guttman Kubrick that surprises Gajeel and Juvia. Mary questions why do they have to destroy a church and Guttman reminds her that Lapointe gave them this mission. Guttman stomps on Mary and tells her that according to the doctrine, never doubt the faith. Guttman kicks Mary away and then he uses Rapture Magic on her causing her magic in her to explode and get hurt. Gajeel attacks Guttman for that but he dodges it and he uses his Rapture Magic on both Gajeel and Juvia, making them get hurt as well. Guttman does it again on both of them again, and Guttman says that as long as they have magic power in their body, he can keep this up. This causes Mary to question that is this what Zentopia teaches.

Gildarts and Laki stand outside a mysterious abbey where a nun did not allowed them to enter as they are outsider when Gildarts asks for entry. Gildarts and Laki sneakily enters the abbey with the help of Laki's Moulding Magic but Gildarts gives away their location when he accidentally farts on Laki. After they were discovered by the nuns and priests, they saw that they were acting like zombies coming towards Gildarts and Laki. Laki tries stop them with her Wood-Make: Heart's Sense of Distance but they were still continuing, which makes Gildarts angry and he uses Disassembly Magic on them. Laki thought that Gildarts massacred them but he shows that they aren't even Human. Laki discovers that they are dolls made from earth and wood that makes her think that it is even worse than the Master thought of. Gildarts suspects that Zentopia is up to something and he says that Macao right, and they run to the back the abbey.

Wind and Weather Phenomena : Wendy VS. Erigor
Lahar and Doranbolt were doing an extensive research, and they head to a seemingly abandoned church in the countryside. Inside the particular church is Katja, praying, and the Celestial Spirit Nico. After walking around for a while, Doranbolt and Lahar enter the church. They encounter Katja who surprisingly resembles Wendy to Doranbolt and is also a Celestial Spirit Mage. Lahar identifies himself and begins to ask Katja a few questions, while in the meantime, Doranbolt thinks quietly to himself.

In a crystallized cavern, Gray and Freed confront Angel, who comments on how handsome they appear to be. Freed recognizes her as one of the Reborn Oración Seis, though he is unclear whether Dan, who accompanied him and Gray, is also one. Dan confirms that he is not by giving himself a full introduction. Angel then enters the fight by summoning Shamsiel, an angel representing sunlight. Gray and Freed start attacking in response. Elsewhere, Cobra battles against Erza, Evergreen and Max simultaneously. Fueled with the raging grudge of losing his friend Cubellios seven years ago, all because of Fairy Tail, Cobra shows he won't go easy on any one of them.

Meanwhile, Wendy begins healing an injured Bickslow despite his attempts to get her to leave. Even with the additional attacks coming directly from Erigor, Wendy still refuses to budge. She claims that she won't abandon her friend regardless of how bad the situation is, eventually healing most of Bickslow's wounds. At the same time, she unintentionally causes Erigor to experience memories of his past with Eisenwald, which starts to strain the Dark Mage.

Katja summons Caelum to guard the church for the time being. She then speaks to Doranbolt and asks if he has something to say to her, given how long he's stared at her. She is told that she resembles a certain person who "died" seven years ago. Katja states she's envious as she never had someone like that in her life, furthermore proving her point by revealing somewhat personal details. Suddenly, Caelum shoots to the roof and is attacked by one of the Reborn Oración Seis, Racer. He goes to attack Katja but she is rescued by Doranbolt, who then tells her and Lahar to leave the building immediately. They do so, allowing him and Racer room to fight.

Meanwhile in Zentopia Church, the higher authorities have a meeting on who should replace the current Archbishop, as his behavior has become even more distraught. Lapointe states that even if they replace him, it won't do any good for them or the people. His logic quickly overrules the others.

Erigor continues to agonize in pain from his revived memories and Bickslow and Wendy can both sense this within him. Wanting to help, Wendy decides to heal him, but Erigor tells her not to, using his Storm Magic against her. In turn, she uses a more healing-based Sky Dragon's Roar at him. Erigor winds up looking back at a younger version of himself and collapses to the ground, defeated. Bickslow confirms that an evil essence has fled him and that Wendy was able to heal his heart.

Beside a large tree in the fields, Katja explains to Lahar how Celestial Spirit Mages, particularly the descendants of Will Neville's disciples, have been sheltered in churches generously provided by Zentopia. She adds that such descendants carry an abominable curse among them; an organic link, in other words, that they must protect. Katja shows the link to Lahar directly, which comes in the form of a series of strange patterns on her skin. Soon after, Doranbolt appears but suddenly collapses, revealing Racer behind him. Racer disposes of Lahar and pins Katja to the tree, summoning a crystallized dagger with him, preparing to activate the Anti-Link. He uses the dagger to pierce Katja but Doranbolt attempts to take the hit in an effort to save her. The Anti-Link still activates and takes effect before quickly dissipating. Afterwards, Racer flees, content with his work.

Katja is relatively uninjured, though her Magical Power starts to fade. As a result of this, Nico begins fading away, and Katja thanks him before he completely disappears. Doranbolt gloomily states he couldn't save Katja, but she says otherwise, as his efforts prevented her from having a terrible curse; now, she is free to live again. This causes Doranbolt to release a tear. Lahar tells him that he should move on from the past, referring to him as Mest. Doranbolt declares his true name as he gets up on his feet, and Lahar and Katja smile at this.

Out in the cold rain, Samuel flies through the sky with the Exceeds of Fairy Tail. Happy tells Carla that despite all the recent events surrounding them, he has a feeling that there's something crucial they're forgetting; it's just like what Samuel said before. He says that because of what's happened with Zentopia Church and the Reborn Oración Seis, it's as though they're overlooking something incredibly important.

After Gildarts and Laki defeat the clergymen, they found a young girl lying on a bed unconscious, heavily bandaged. Laki reads the reports on her and tells Gildarts that after a major accident, she was receiving treatment here and Laki adds that even if she recovers, the Lacrima attached to her would keep her in a comatose state. Gildarts concludes that if she woke up, it would be inconvenient for someone, and he asks her name. Laki says that its Michelle Lobster and she and Gildarts were shocked. Laki also says that she lost her parents in an accident at the Lobster Plantation and she is their only daughter. Gildarts wonders that if she is Michelle, then who is the one with Lucy. The Michelle who is with Lucy is seen having her right eye glow in red.

Chaos Unleashed
The Fiore guards get reported from the Magic Council Headquarters that the Reborn Oración Seis's target is not the destructions of churches but the Celestial Spirit Mages who are being sheltered there. Laki reports to Warren that she and Gildarts have the real Michelle Lobster, while the Michelle with Lucy is a fake. Vijeeter alerts the others that Brain II is at the Kardia Cathedral, and no one is there to stop him, however Alzack and Bisca decide to go, vowing to defend the church. Warren then tries inform Natsu, Lucy and Elfman that the Michelle with them is a fake, but they are not informed right away due to Elfman having the card in his pocket while still unconscious.

In their battle, Natsu attempts to attack Jackpot again, but he uses Super Hot Punch to strike first. Jackpot then realizes that he forgot his important mission and he dismisses his battle with Natsu and runs to the closest church near him. Jackpot confronts the Fiore Guards and he attacks them with Bomb-drop Bonus that blows up the church, Byro gets mad on what Jackpot did and he joins the battle.

Concurrently, Erza's group is still fighting Cobra. Cobra attacks Erza, but she is covered by Max. Cobra states that Cubellios is gone and that he has no more friends, Erza curtly replying that people can become stronger after overcoming their sadness. Cobra then also realises that he has been wasting time battling the Fairy Tail Mages, so he leaves, but not before stating to Erza that one day they will finish their fight. At a separate location, Gray and Freed are unable to move, and Shamsiel has brought Angel the Celestial Spirit Mage being housed in the church who they were meant to be protecting. Angel uses the Anti-Link to finish the man as Dan watches from behind a pillar, and the dark Mage states that the information received from Father Fabrizio is that there are only two links left.

The exceed team flies far away to a place where a Church is already destroyed and Pantherlily asks that what does he mean by doctrine being misused, Samuel says that before he explains everything, he changes into his battle form and declares a rematch and Pantherlily accepts it. Pantherlily changes into his battle form and they start fighting. While they fight they were also talking and Pantherlily asks him again that what does he mean by the misuse of doctrine and he punches Samuel. Samuel explains that before they departed from the Zentopia Church, Cardinal Lapointe gave them individual mission and Samuel punches him. Samuel explains the missions given to Dan Straight, Mary Hughes, and Sugarboy, and when he says Guttman, Pantherlily asks who is he. When Samuel says that he is the newcomer in Coco's place, Pantherlily gets worried and asks that did something happen to her. Samuel kicks him and says that Coco was imprisoned as a traitor to Legion since she helped Natsu's team. Samuel says that he does not know about the mission that Guttman was given and he has a bad feeling about it because according to his calculations, when Guttman the cleaner came out, it meant there is a disturbing movement within Zentopia. Pantherlily worries about Coco, and Happy and Carla talk behind his back that Coco hates cats so Lily was rejected, Pantherlily yells on Happy for interrupting the conversation. Samuel starts punching Lily and says one more thing about the strange mission he and Byro were given because they were not told to get the Infinity Clock back and even stopping them is the most important thing. Carla says that it is strange and Pantherlily says that Samuel came here to look to Carla's precognition for help. Samuel says that after what has happened, Byro has not even crumbled and Samuel's last words were interrupted when Pantherlily punches him on his face as his finishing move. Pantherlily says that Samuel was a worthier opponent when they fought last time and Samuel changes back to his normal form, and Pantherlily also says that Samuel's techniques were aimless and misguided.

Meanwhile, Juvia and Gajeel continue their battle. Guttman tells Gajeel that no matter how many times he attacks the result will still be the same. Mary tries to stop the two from attacking the creature anymore, stating that nobody can beat him. As Gajeel buys time for Juvia to recover, she then uses Water Lock to hold off Guttman. He uses his Magic on her, but as she is encasing him with her body he also feels the attack, falling for long enough that Gajeel can finish him.

Concurrently, Bickslow and Wendy try to wake up Erigor, and he awakens to tell them that somebody entered his dreams, and that afterwards he believed that he was Grim Reaper. He continues his words and said that losing his memories was the worst pain he has ever been through, but after hearing Wendy's voice he came out of his stupor, and he thanks Wendy for helping him. As Bickslow wonders about the Magic used on Erigor, he and Wendy suspect that someone also let Cana make the teams according to their likings, as she stated that she felt sleepy before doing her fortune telling.

Meanwhile, Brain II is trying to open Will Neville's coffin, but it is protected by a powerful Magic. Alzack confronts Brain II and distracts him while Bisca runs to a better place to shoot her target, Brain II. Alzack uses Guns Magic to attack Brain II but he avoids it using his Reflector Magic. Alzack then uses Omnidirectional Expansion to attack Brain II but he avoids it by switching places with Alzack using Reflector Magic, causing Alzack to get hit by his own attack. Bisca directly shoots Brain II with her Magic Sniper Rifle but he avoids it and uses Reflector on Bisca, causing her to get hurt. Brain II states that to achieve great power, they have to pay a high cost and both of them are lacking in readiness to lose something.

Jackpot uses Slot Magic to activate Anti-Link activate that makes a dagger made of red crystal appear and it directly hits on the destroyed church. Byro asks that what did he just do but Jackpot says that it is something does not concern him and tells him to carry out his mission. Natsu suddenly appears and attempts to hit Jackpot again and he activates Lightning Bonus to avoid it, but ultimately fails to protect himself due to Byro's Nullifying Magic and Natsu lands his first direct hit. After landing his first strike, he proceeds to attack with various Dragon Slayer techniques, first destroying the Slot Magic machine and then Jackpot himself.

Concurrently, Brain II states that the Celestial Spirit Mages' Anti-Link is complete. He then destroys Will Neville's coffin and his skull floats with markings on it, but the dark Mage crushes this also. Meanwhile, at Zentopia Cathedral, the Archbishop states that "the chaos that has been sealed away is unleashed upon the world!". The Infinity Clock then begins to glow and transform into a fish-like vehicle as everyone watches from the ground. Samuel goes back to Zentopia Cathedral to see the truth with his own eyes, and as he does, chains fly out of the Infinity Clock and stick onto the ground.

After Natsu and the others witnesses the true form of the Infinity Clock, they wanted to stop it, but Byro reveals that he has a duty to take Lucy back to Zentopia Cathedral, and Lucy makes him understand the current situation is more bigger than to follow his duty. When Byro starts to refuse, a voice came from inside Jackpot saying Byro to follow his orders. The zipper of Jackpot starts to open and a staff came out of it revealing himself to be Klodoa that surprises Natsu and Lucy. Klodoa claims himself to be the seventh member of the Oración Seis from before and now, but Lucy concludes that isn't he one member short if he is Jackpot.

Klodoa turns to Michelle and tells her to dispose off the her temporary form and reveal her true name that shocks Natsu and Lucy. Lucy then tells that Klodoa is trying to confuse them again, but Michelle was in full of tears and apologizes to Lucy before transforming to her true form. She reveals herself as Imitatia, a member of the Reborn Oración Seis and mistress of mimicry and deception. Imitatia reveals all the plans of the Reborn Oración Seis after they had succeeded it and Natsu gets angry and Lucy could not believe what she is seeing. Lucy thinks that Imitatia is being controlled by magic and she walks close to her, but Natsu pushes her away. When Natsu attempts to hit Imitatia, he pauses when Lucy cries out not to attack her, which causes Natsu to get hit by her attack and knocked unconscious. Imitatia then tells Byro to take Lucy to Lapointe, but Byro refuses.

Imitatia then throws the seal of the Archbishop on him, stating that her orders are the Archbishop's and it cannot be ignored, and Klodoa tells Imitatia to dispose of Natsu, but she instead takes him as a hostage. Klodoa reminds Imitatia that mercy is not their way, while Byro summons Kanaloa who appears and grows. Imitatia replies that she already knows, and then pulls out a sword from her shield and stabs Lucy with the back of her sword when she comes close to her, while Klodoa wonders where Elfman is, thinking he has ran away. Instead, Elfman is hiding behind a nearby rock, communicating with Warren with a long distance communication card to explain what has happened.

Nightmare of Chaos Revealed (Real Nightmare)
Natsu awakens in the Zentopia prison after having been captured by Imitatia and Byro Cracy. He found himself imprisoned with the Jiggle Butt Gang who sneaked into the Church to steal the Infinity Clock. The leader of the gangs asks Natsu that what is he doing here, and he remembers Imitatia's transformation and Lucy being kidnapped, that makes him angry and he tries to break the bars to the cell, only to be repelled by a Magic barrier. After convincing Natsu it is pointless to keep attacking the barrier to try and escape, the Gang explain that the reason they are imprisoned is because they came to Zentopia to investigate the "treasure"(Infinity Clock) being held there. Despite being caught, the trio unknowingly overheard Lapointe secretly talking with a priest about the Archbishop's madness to kept out of sight and Lapointe asks about the pilgrims to him. The priest replies that they don't know yet and Lapointe is relieved to hear that. Lapointe says that if there are people who would spread negative rumors about it, then the cleaner is must be sent to eliminate them. This worries Jiggle Butt Gang because they heard the conversation, but Natsu encourages them that true evil does not give up. When Natsu says that he is going to break out of the prison, the gang was relieved to hear breakout from Natsu as evil and he joins the gang to form an escape plan.

Meanwhile, at the Fairy Tail guild, news has gotten out to the others of Lucy and Natsu's capture and Michelle's true identity. When Elfman tries to blame himself for what happened, Cana wipes it aside, stating that her cards never predicted Brain II's appearance at Kardia Cathedral, and that her pairings for the teams had been tampered with out of their favour. Before the group can decide what to do next, the Archaeological Society arrives, asking to see Lucy. When asked why they need to talk with her, the men state that they have some important things to tell her regarding the thing in the sky, but upon being told of Lucy's fate, decide that the seriousness of the situation can allow them to tell everyone. The leader of the society, Jean-Luc, then steps forward, revealing himself to be Will Neville's Great-grandson. Ignoring the surprised reactions of the guild, he goes on to say that he is on good terms with Lucy's father, and dedicated his life to making sure the Infinity Clock stayed sealed away. He explains that a while back he received word that the hand of the Infinity Clock had been uncovered during an excavation, but by the time he had heard the part had already fallen into the hands of Jude, who he immediately went to meet. Upon finding him, Jean-Luc made sure to wrap the hand in Magic Cloth to seal it's Magic, and then had Jude promise to find a place to keep the hand sealed away forever.

Figuring out that this task was the reason Jude sent the hand to Lucy, the guild asks just how dangerous the Infinity Clock is. Jean-Luc replies that the clock activates "Real Nightmare", something that controls people's perception of time. When asked what this lack of perception will do to everyone, Jean-Luc tells them that when a person loses perception of time their memories become distorted, leading to their consciousness breaking down, which in turn makes the person lose all sense of self. Jean-luc requests Fairy Tail to take this job to stop the Infinity Clock and they immediately accept it, vowing to get Lucy and Natsu as they do.

Concurrently, Klodoa brags about Brain II and Imitatia's power and deception in front of Lucy, who has been hung on a huge mechanical device. Upset, Lucy asks Michelle how she could betray her, though the woman replies that she is not Michelle, and asks Lucy to stop referring to her as such. Brain II reveals to Lucy that once she has been sacrificed, she will sleep for a hundred years. Lucy says that its like using people as tools and she expresses her feelings about how much she lost in the seven-year gap, but she had friends who accepted them. When she said that did would the Celestial Spirit Wizards be treated the same way, Brain II says that they don't and that is why it is called a "curse" and she will be cursed the same way. Lucy says to Imitatia that she was very happy when she first met her, and Imitatia tells to Lucy that she is doing this for her. Lucy says that she is lying again and coming close to her, but Imitatia says that all of it wasn't a lie. When Lucy asks Imitatia about her father and calling her sister, Imitatia looks down and she tells Brain II to get started with the work. Brain II tells to Lucy that very shortly, it will be her time to say farewell.

Back at the guild, Jean-Luc explains that a biological link between Celestial Spirit Mages was keeping the Infinity Clock sealed, with the group confirming that the Reborn Oración Seis' goal was to use Anti-Link to destroy the said bond. However, he also explains that a Celestial Spirit Mage hit with such a spell goes into a chrysalis-like state for one hundred years. Brain II, also explaining this to Lucy, states should she be sacrificed and go into this state, the Infinity Clock will finally be theirs to command. Lucy screams that she does not want to be used in such a way, though Imitatia tries to point out that she was in a similar state when sealed in Fairy Sphere on Tenrou Island, though Lucy points out that seven years is much less than one hundred. Going on, Lucy states that the only way she managed to overcome the time she lost was due to her friends, realizing that the sealed Celestial Spirit Mages will have no such aid when they awaken after one hundred years. Listening, but unmoved, Brain II states that Lucy shall be cursed in a similar way. Trying to appeal to Imitatia, Lucy states that she was happy to meet her, though after the two argue over the truth of their relationship, Klodoa interrupts to put his plan into action.

Glad that Fairy Tail has agreed to help them, the Archaeological Society presents Erza with a giant magical hammer which was found along with the Clock hand. Jean-luc explains that the hammer is said to keep evil at bay and she is skilled enough to use it. Wondering how they are going to take the enemy base, Cana tells everyone not to worry, since called for the reinforcements by drawing out her cards and smiling.

Meanwhile at the Magic Council, Lahar is brought a once broken surveillance Lacrima by a guard to identify the person responsible for Oración Seis's escape, Lahar watches the video feed and he was shocked to see that it was Cardinal Lapointe himself freeing the Oración Seis.

In their cell, Natsu and the Jiggle Butt Gang put their plan into action, with the three big-buttocked men rubbing their behinds speedily against a wall, only to fall to the ground tired and wanting to give up, despite Natsu's encouragements.

Back at the guild, the member get ready to strike when Cana's reinforcements arrives in the form of Ichiya and Christina, which Cana justifies by reminding everyone that they need to get into the air. However, when everyone gets on board, Christina is hit on the bow and begins to descend. Offering to check out what has happened, Mirajane and Elfman run on deck, only to discover the hull is being destroyed by Racer, who is ramming at full speed through it. Vowing to protect everyone, Mira activates Satan Soul and tackles Racer from the ship towards the ground. Seeing her fall, the guild asks Ichiya to steer Christina after her, but Elfman convinces them that Mira can handle things by herself.

However fast she herself can get, Mirajane struggles on the ground to prevent Racer from getting back up into the air, however, she does manage to buy the group enough time to escape by activating Satan Soul: Halphas to speed up even more. Watching all of this from the ground, the guild members that stayed behind hope for the groups safe return, before Jet runs out of the hall and declares that Kinana is missing, the woman having walked off claiming she can "hear somebody calling her".

In their cell, the Jiggle Butt Gang finally rub their behinds fast enough for them to catch fire, and begins screaming over the flames. When the guards warp the cell bars to let them out and put out the flames, the group quickly makes short work of them, and then find Coco, whose cell is just down the hallway. Being informed of the breakout, Lapointe states that everything is too late, as "Real Nightmare" has already been activated. Laughing at his work, Brain II declares that chaos shall descend, whilst Lucy opens her blank eyes and stares unseeingly into the distance.

The Battle of Zentopia: A Cardinal's True Colors
At the Magic Council Headquarters, Lahar reports that while undergoing investigations he discovered that Cardinal Lapointe of the Zentopia Church is responsible for freeing the Reborn Oración Seis. He requests to investigate, but is told not to by Gran Doma. A disappointed Lahar says that he does not have to lead his units in such a crisis, but is reassured by Doranbolt.

At the Zentopia Church, various pilgrims crowd around the Church in panic over the Infinity Clock crisis. However, the Archbishop announces to all that they should not worry because this is Zentopia's way of putting the world in order. He also says that after this purge is complete, the world will be reborn and they will begin to walk upon a new path; this surprises and confuses the pilgrims even more. Byro listens to the Archbishiop's speech and wonders what good is actually going to be done. He thinks about how chaos they're actually putting into the world with having the Reborn Oración Seis destroy churches, disrupting the Celestial Spirit Wizards biological links and throwing time into chaos, additionally without any answers as to why Lucy Heartfilia is being sacrificed.

Meanwhile, Ichiya and various Fairy Tail members are aboard Christina while on their way to the Zentopia Church to rescue Natsu and Lucy. Happy has faith that Natsu is safe and that Lucy should be too.

Meanwhile inside the Church, Natsu and Coco head to the Archbishop's location but encounter the Jiggle Butt Gang, who are forming a plan to steal another treasure instead of the Infinity Clock since they are evil. Guttman Kubrick suddenly confronts them and kicks the Jiggle Butt Gang out of the Church since they don't have any Magic for him to use Rapture Magic on. Coco explains who Guttman is while the new Legionnaire becomes excited at the fact Natsu and Coco have great Magical energy inside them.

In the meantime, Fiore Guards attempt to fire at the Infinity Clock using Lacrima cannons, though their attacks are rebounded due to the effects of Real Nightmare. This action is witnessed by those on Christina. Suddenly, they begin to experience similar effects from the Magical object; however, Erza is the only one without change. She wonders why and summons her new Magical Hammer, which she uses to hit everyone with. Each one of them returns to normal within a few seconds.

Simultaneously, Gildarts and Laki sneak into the Archbishop's room using Laki's Wood Merging Spell. They both expected it to be heavily guarded, but surprisingly he's alone in his room, sitting atop the bed. They reveal themselves to him and begin to ask questions, though the Archbishop simply repeats his speech to the pilgrims in a blank manner, and Laki realizes that someone must be controlling him. They then hear a clap and discover Lapointe in the room. He credits Gildarts for being able to make it to the room, but adds he won't return alive; the S-Class Mage takes it as a challenge opportunity.

Meanwhile, Mirajane and Racer continue their battle together. During the fight, Racer begins to recall memories of his past in the Tower of Heaven just from reading his opponent's movements; frightened, he attempts to flee. A chase ensures which eventually leads to Racer enhancing his speed and taking more control of the fight. With his speed, he creates visual duplicates of himself and attacks Mirajane multiple times. However, she is able to catch the real Racer and ram him into the ground with tremendous force.

Though heavily injured, Racer gets up and wonders how can she be faster than him. Mirajane explains what he's been doing to himself, which is causing him his pain. Racer realizes that he wasn't being fast, rather, he was always running away. While returning to her normal self, Mirajane states she herself has been running away from a certain fear in the past. As she speaks more of her past, Racer finally stands straightly and starts walking away, and Mirajane adds that no one is going to chase him anymore.

Kinana is seen looking for the person who is calling her, while Brain II orders Cobra and Angel to stop them since Racer has failed. Meanwhile Guttman tells Natsu and Coco to never doubt Zentopia's doctrine, causing Natsu to ask what should happen to them if they do so. In response, Guttman says the traitor will scatter and begins to use his Rapture Magic on the two. As he deals wounds to their bodies, Mary Hughes appears and uses her Command Magic to freeze him. Mary wants Coco to confirm with her own eyes what is right and that she will stall Guttman for the time being, allowing Natsu and Coco go to the Archbishop's room. Natsu jumps with Coco through a wall to the other side where the Archbishop's room is a staircase away.

Christina finally reaches the Zentopia Church and the guards starts firing at it with their spheres, but they are no match for Christina so Byro sends out Kanaloa to attack it. Kanaloa attaches his tentacles to the ship and the Fairy Tail members try to remove the beast unsuccessfully. Kanaloa uses his acid breath to melt various parts of the ship, worrying Ichiya that the incident seven years ago would occur again. He fires spiral anchors from Christina that turn into chains, restraining Kanaloa to Christina. Ichiya tell everyone to leave while he deals with Kanaloa alone, though everyone refuses. But, as they have no other choice, everyone jumps down from Christina, leaving Ichiya behind. Suddenly, the aircraft crashes on the ground while an assured Erza says that no matter how dangerous the circumstances are, Ichiya always manages to survive.

Gildarts and Lapointe prepare themselves to fight but are interrupted when Natsu and Coco arrives. Lapointe says that Coco has escaped her cell as well and he tells to Natsu that he know him as a Dragon Wizard. Natsu smells Lapointe and recognizes the scent as same as "Master Zero", shocking the others. Gildarts says that he doesn't know if he is Master Zero or not, though he adds that he knows Lapointe is mind-controlling the Archbishop. Gildarts informs Warren through Telepathy that Cardinal Lapointe is mind-controlling the Archbishop and the latter explains this to his guildmates, and unknowingly Byro Cracy. Byro is infuriated with what he hears, and wants to take revenge on him for what Lapointe has done.

Back in the Archbishop's room, Natsu says that if he is the one controlling the Archbishop, then he is also the one who used "Michelle" to trick them. Zero converses with Natsu and Gildarts briefly on the subject and then uses Darkness Magic to restrain Laki and take her as a hostage, and tells Natsu and Gildarts to fight each other; otherwise, she dies. This angers Natsu and Gildarts, but before the two can react, Byro appears, nullifying Lapointe's Magic and thus saving Laki. Using this moment as a distraction, Gildarts uses Crushing Evil, Spreading the Truth: Empyrean on Lapointe, sending him flying.

Meanwhile, inside the Infinity Clock, Imitatia informs Lucy about her friends' arrivals and adds that because of her, they shall die. When Lucy asks about it, Imitatia then says the Celestial Spirit Mage belongs to her, and that no one should have her.

The Battle of Zentopia: To the Infinity Castle
Cardinal Lapointe is defeated after the cooperation of Byro Cracy and Gildarts in order to put an end to him. The Fairy Tail Mages who arrived with Christina, the Magic Bomber, reunite with Gildarts, Natsu and Laki, only to witness a defeated Lapointe saying that his ultimate goal is to sink the world into chaos and return it to how it used to be before Zentopia was founded.

Meanwhile, Lucy learns from Imitatia, Klodoa and Brain II that the Infinity Clock was sealed away by Celestial Spirit Mages, meaning that only by using the magical power of such a Mage will anyone be able to control it. Before disappearing completely, due to being a result of Personification Magic that was controlled by Zero's hair rather than a human being (similar to the nuns encountered by Laki and Gildarts), Lapointe reveals that the only way to stop the Infinity Clock is to eliminate the Celestial Spirit Mage that is used to control it.

Byro, convinced that there is no other way to save the world, is determined to find and dispose of Lucy, along with the other Legion members. Natsu tries to stop him, but is easily overwhelmed by Byro's strength, so Gildarts steps in to settle the score and orders the other Mages to hurry and find Lucy while he fights Byro. However, Samuel is the first to act, having overheard the whole conversation, and decides to find and dispose of Lucy, as the fate of the whole world is more important than the life of a single girl. He, thanks to Byro's Nullification Magic, manages to leave the Fairy Tail Mages behind. Gildarts then allows the other Fairy Tail Mages to follow Samuel as well, as he is able to prevent Byro from stopping them. When the two opponents are left alone, they decide to settle the score with physical strength rather than Magic.

Fairy Tail divides into three teams in order to find Lucy. Laki, Warren, Happy, Carla and Pantherlily go along with Wendy, who tries to heal the Archbishop with her Magic, only for her efforts to go in vain, as Midnight's spell is proven to be stronger. However, Wendy remains hopeful that she can heal him without damaging his brain. Meanwhile, Samuel arrives to the core of the Infinity Clock to dispose of Lucy, but Imitatia immediately realizes his intentions and easily defeats him, protecting Lucy from any harm, declaring that now the tables have turned and Legion will try to kill her, while Oración Seis will be protecting her. Even though Samuel is injured, he still wishes to fight, remaining loyal to Byro until the end.

At the same time, both Guttman Kubrick and Mary Hughes, clearly exhausted from their fight and also doubtful about their allegiance to the Archbishop after discovering he was a mere tool, faint and stop their fight, leaving everything up to Coco. Coco leads the group consisting of Natsu, Gray, Erza, Elfman and Gajeel to the Infinity Castle. Meanwhile, Lahar and Doranbolt, as well as the Rune Knights, do their best to protect as many people as possible from the Infinity Clock's influence by moving them into a barrier of runes.

The Archbishop is freed from mind control, as Wendy finishes her healing spell, clearly weary from the effort. This leads Happy to understand that, if Fairy Tail defeats all the Reborn Oración Seis members, the Infinity Clock will be deactivated, as in order to activate it the six dark guild members had to engrave their seals on it, including Imitatia, when disguised as Michelle. Thanks to Warren's telepathy, this message reaches the Fairy Tail members going after Lucy, who are now determined to defeat Oración Seis and save both their friend and the world.

A confident Erza is pitted againist Cobra, as the latter wishes to face her, allowing the other Fairy Tail members to continue on their way. When the group meets Angel, Gray is the one to step up againist her, promising her that this time he will put up a better fight than he did on their last encounter. Finally, Gajeel decides to fight againist Brain II and Klodoa alone, much to Natsu's frustration, as the fire Mage wished to fight Brain II himself. Elfman carries an unwilling Natsu to move on and so the Fairy Tail Mages, along with Coco, continue their way towards the core of the Infinity Clock.

The fights, however, do not all go as planned. Sugarboy appears to defeat Erza since he thought that the Reborn Oración Seis are still working for the Zentopia Church. But Cobra easily defeats him by his Sound Magic, allowing the two to continue their duel. In addition, although apparently Gajeel was able to fight on par with Brain II for a while, he is ultimately defeated and sent flying, as the latter mentions that he is in a hurry.

Gildarts, who has just defeated Byro, after witnessing his level of strength, attempts to save Gajeel from falling, but fails, which results in both of them falling from the Zentopia Church. Natsu finally picks up Imitatia's smell, and him along with Coco and Elfman follows the trail and finds Lucy. However, Imitatia declares that she will let no one go near Lucy and prepares to fight the other Mages, drawing her sword, as Lucy watches.

The Battle of Zentopia: The Fallen Angel
Natsu, Elfman and Coco try to get to Lucy, whose body is still being absorbed by the Infinity Clock, but Imitatia refuses to let them go near her. She says she'll protect Lucy and that it's best for Natsu and the others to go, as this way, their lives will be spared. Natsu says he and Elfman should fight Imitatia while Coco rescues Lucy.

In the Fairy Tail building, Makarov drives off the powers of Real Nightmare so that it doesn't affect anyone in the Guild. The rest of the Guild members are either researching the Infinity Clock with Jean-Luc Neville and the Archeology Society or otherwise searching for Kinana. In the meantime, Macao and Wakaba discuss the responsibilities of each of their guildmates. During their conversation, Wakaba mentions how he hasn't seen Romeo lately, though Macao says it's because he's growing up. As they talk, Romeo is outside looking at the Infinity Clock, telling Natsu and Lucy to wait for him.

As Coco unsuccessfully tries rescuing Lucy, Natsu and Elfman begin their battle against Imitatia. However, the Dark Mage easily maneuvers through their attacks, giving them difficulty. She states that pain and "silly" emotions cannot affect her in any way but is challenged this belief by Natsu, who claims that despite one's confidence, a person still has a bright look in their eyes; however, Imitatia's show nothing more than hesitance. Imitatia quickly defends herself about this remark. Subsequently, she resumes her battle against the two Fairy Tail Mages, who are then accompanied in the fight by Coco.

Happy and Pantherlily are unsuccessful in locating Lucy. This upsets Happy as he worries what Samuel plans to do with her. They have a discussion about Samuel's motives which are tied to the similar goals of Legion Corps. Simultaneously, Samuel scales the Infinity Clock in his Battle Form, thinking back to what he plans to do now for the sake of others. Jean-Luc Neville exclaims that he, along with Levy and Freed, have deciphered the secret of Real Nightmare. He explains that the only way they can stop it is by removing the carved seals on the Infinity Clock which will negate the owners' rights to belonging such an artifact. Levy, Macao and Wakaba are impressed by the accuracy found in Happy's theory. Makarov speaks up, saying that there are now only four members of the Reborn Oración Seis left for them to defeat.

Erza starts her fight against Cobra whose Sound Magic remains effective against the S-Class Mage. Throughout their battle, Erza speaks of how she can hear the voices of her friends, and that their voices are what drives her forward to win. Cobra describes her words as "grating" and pushes their fight to outside the Clock. Out in the open, Erza then asks Cobra why he wants to bring despair to people in the same way that he felt while in the Tower of Heaven. He responds that he could care less, though adds that he has no friends, while she and various others are surrounded by them. Erza mocks him for his envy and resumes their battle.

Lucy's body is finally absorbed whole by the Infinity Clock. She sinks down into the depths of the Clock. Warren, Laki, Wendy and Carla are informed of Jean-Luc's news and discuss it briefly. As they do, Wendy says she suddenly feels a turmoil within the sky. Carla theorizes that it's because the effects of Real Nightmare are beginning to weaken. Wendy's intuition tells her, however, that the Infinity Clock is actually struggling to stay active.

Meanwhile, Gray begins his rematch battle against Angel who summons Shamsiel again. Gray is finally able to defeat the angel with Ice-Make: Death Scythe and destroy the gold coins used to summon him; this effects Angel, causing her to struggle and collapse. Gray goes towards Angel and concludes that Shamsiel most likely went back to heaven. Hearing this, Angel asks him to kill her with his scythe so that she can finally fade into the sky like a true angel. However, he refuses to. Angry, Angel summons Barakiel to fight him. They are soon accompanied with the arrival of Dan Straight, who not only is able to save Gray from Barakiel's hands, but also defeat the angel.

Now enraged, Angel summons Raguel with 100 Magical Golden Coin. The powerful angel attacks Dan with a single attack that, in addition to destroying his armor, deals moderate injuries to his body. Angel follows with a speech about her dreams to become an actual angel. She speaks happily about how she will finally be rid of her "sin" to be born Human once she morphs into an angel. Angel continues saying that any sacrifice needed to achieve her goal is perfectly fine, even if it shortens her own life, as in the case of using Angel Magic. In addition, the more she uses Angel Magic, the more she can see "filth" in the world that she currently lives in.

Hearing her words infuriate Gray and he proceeds to tell her that Dan, as well as his guildmates, are all Humans continuously living with all their might. He asks if she's lived long enough to actually be able to give it all up before exclaiming that she is just rambling on about becoming an angel. Angel is shocked that he is mocking her wishes. Her body, as well as Raguel's, start cracking and breaking; seeing this surprises Gray. She attacks him and tells a now-deformed Raguel to annihilate the Mage. Gray tells the now irrational Angel that she's being absorbed by her own Magic, and that if she continues her acts, eventually the very angel she summoned will kill her.

Angel suddenly realizes how different Raguel appears but denies Gray's words, while slowly, the two become swallowed by the angel. However, as she finally starts to see truth in Gray's words, Angel shouts out her will to live. At this instance, Dan pulls himself back to the battlefield and pierces Angel with Habaraki. This reduces the core of her power's limit and ultimately returns Angel life that she sacrificed. At the same time, Gray finally defeats Raguel. Not only is Angel saved, but in the end, she has lost her fight.

The Battle of Zentopia: To Lose That Which is Important
While Natsu is fighting Imitatia and witnesses Lucy losing her mind, he tells her to get a hold of herself, but Brain II appears, along with Klodoa, and tells him that she will soon be completely absorbed by the Infinity Clock. Meanwhile, Lucy recalls her birthday as a child and searches for Michelle inside her memories, but remembers that the one who appeared to her as Michelle was in fact Imitatia, leaving her confused.

Meanwhile, Warren's group learns that Lucy will soon be consumed by the Infinity Clock unless the Reborn Oración Seis is defeated, so Warren contacts all of the Fairy Tail Mages, asking them to hurry and defeat the Dark Guild. Cobra notices Erza's haste to defeat him in order for his seal to be erased, and tells her that it is impossible, since he, like the rest of his team mates, has abandoned something important to him in order to get stronger, giving him enough power to defeat his opponents.

At the same time, Romeo, who has arrived at the Infinity Castle, is noticed by Warren, and reveals that he was hiding inside Christina all along in order to help them. Despite Warren's doubts about the young Mage being there, Wendy and Carla decide to lead him to the Infinity Clock in order for him to save Lucy, and at the same time Warren asks from Happy and Pantherlily to arrive at the Infinty Clock before Samuel.

While Warren communicates with the other Mages, Byro appears at his groups location and asks about the Legion Mages' whereabouts, only to be told by Laki that he now has no reason to want Lucy dead, as the defeat of Reborn Oración Seis will have the same effect on the Infinity Clock. Although Byro says that, even so, they are too late to save Lucy, the Archbishop regains consciousness and announces that while he was being controlled he was able to hear the thoughts of the Dark Guild's members and thus knows how to halt the procedure of Lucy's absorption by the Clock.

Natsu tries to bring Imitatia back to her senses, telling her that she should also consider Lucy's feelings about wanting to stay with her for eternity. Brain II, however, reminds Imitatia of her wish, motivating her to attack Natsu, but Romeo appears and saves the Dragon Slayer. Romeo attacks Imitatia, telling her that she betrayed both Lucy and himself and has no right to call Lucy "nee-san", but Imitatia, determined to realize her wish, fights back and defeats Romeo, angering Natsu, who promises to beat her and save Lucy, before figuring out her identity.

The fight carries on, with a determined Imitatia overpowering Natsu, but their fight is interrupted, as Samuel suddenly appears and attempts to assassinate Lucy. However, Coco gets in his way and tells him he will have to kill her first if he wants to get rid of Lucy. A reluctant Samuel attempts to tear them both apart, but is halted by Happy and Pantherlily. Happy tries to bring Lucy to her senses, while Pantherlily begins yet another duel with Samuel, but Lucy says to herself that though she can hear them all she cannot react to their calls. After Natsu sees tears falling from Lucy's eyes, signifying her will to fight, he powers up and prepares to fight more seriously, although Brain II says it is too late to do anything.

Meanwhile, Cobra reveals that revenge is important for him in order to be able to look at his friend, Cubellios, in the eye when they meet again and overpowers Erza. At the same time, the Archbishop reveals both to Fairy Tail and to Legion that everyone should cooperate for now in order to halt the Infinity Clock and destroy the chains linking it to the Earth. Hearing this, Samuel apologizes to Pantherlily and decides to have a contest with the other Exceed about who will destroy the biggest number of chains. Natsu also says that now they can save Lucy, but Brain II replies that their chances of victory are slim.

Cobra, enraged, decides to go all out and unleashes his Dragon Force Mode, assaulting Erza with Poison Dragon Slayer techniques. She, however, blocks them with what she calls an ancient holy weapon, and, using it, she manages to destroy the chains under Cobra's feet and also attack him. Meanwhile, the Fairy Tail Mages, along with the revived Legion members, all do their best to destroy as many chains as possible and weaken the clock. Kinana, feeling that the one speaking to her mind is close, runs towards Cobra, and he is able to listen to her, which distracts him and gives Erza the opportunity to defeat him with a powerful attack of her weapon, sending him flying to the Earth, with Kinana, who is looking forward to meeting him, running after him.

Lucy, having lost her consciousness, announces that another Reborn Oración Seis member has been defeated, leaving only two of them, and Natsu is now confident that he will save Lucy if he defeats the two Mages in front of him. Brain II, however, promises to realize his father's dream, which was to destroy everything, and attacks Natsu with his Reflector. Brain II then reveals to everyone that Lucy cannot be saved anymore, since she will soon be fused with the Infinity Clock and erased from everyone's memories. Imitatia, realising she has been tricked and that this is not what she wanted, runs to Lucy, shunting Coco and Happy from her way, and desperately attacks the Infinity Clock, trying to set Lucy free and apologizing in the process, which wakes Lucy from her slumber and helps her remember.

However, Imitatia's attempts are in vain, as Brain II reverts her back to her normal form, saying he has no more use of her. Imitatia transforms to a doll, with her last words being "Nee-san, I'm sorry, I love you", which in turn triggers Lucy to finally remember that Imitatia was her doll, which she thought of as her little sister when she was young. Brain II steps on the doll, insulting Imitatia, and Romeo, furious at Brain II, throws his Purple Fire to Natsu, who punches the Reborn Oración Seis leader and promises to him that he will never laugh at other people's pain again.

The Battle of Zentopia: The Fall of Reborn Oración Seis
Lucy floats inside the abyss of the Infinity Clock, crying as her younger self as she remembers now that Imitatia was none other than her doll as a child. Beside her, the doll Michelle thanks her for finally remembering. Outside the clock, Natsu hastily tries to defeat Brain II in order to free Lucy, but the dark Mage states that his fathers will shall soon be recognized. Also trying to help are those outside the clock, cutting the chains linking the ship to the ground to try and slow it down. However, as they work, they comment on how long they are taking, worried that they are not doing enough to assist.

Elfman and Romeo stand despite their injuries and move to assist Natsu in defeating Brain II, but the dark Mage does not want them to interfere, and sends Klodoa to take them on whilst he handles Natsu alone. Reflecting every fire attack Natsu sends at him, Brain II declares that he cannot be beaten, as he has sacrificed everything to obtain the Magic power to surpass his father. He then casts Genesis Zero, screaming for Natsu to be consumed into nothing, laughing as Natsu is engulfed by the darkness of the spell and swallowed up.

Also being consumed is Lucy, who despite Coco and Happy's attempts to free her, has been consumed by the golden liquid of the Infinity Clock. Floating into the Clock, Lucy suddenly hears the voices of her parents, and remembers the day they gave her the doll Imitatia as a birthday present. From behind her, the human form of Imitatia appears, adding to the memory by stating that she had so much fun playing with Lucy every day. Lucy then remembers the reason why she and the doll stopped being together; when Layla passed away, the doll served as a reminder to Lucy of her mother, and as such she slowly stopped playing and talking to the toy, eventually casting her away completely. Imitatia also shows Lucy another of her memories, one in which Lucy's father apologizes to her as a doll for Lucy's abandonment, as well as confessing his own fear that he doesn't know how to assist his daughter in overcoming the loss of Layla. As Lucy cries over the memory, Imitatia goes on to explain that she was later found and turned into a human by Brain II, who gave her life as Imitatia for the soul purpose of obtaining the Infinity Clock. When Lucy asks if it was true that Imitatia helped her father before his death, she replies that it is, recounting how she wanted to go back to the days when she felt loved, also describing her conversation with Jude just before his death. As Lucy cries, Imitatia comforts her and tells her that she can still hear the voices of her friends.

Hearing the voices of those fighting for her, Lucy vows to do something to return to them and screams for them, the Infinity Clock glowing as she struggles against it. Also fighting is Natsu, who activates his Magic inside the abyss, trying to force himself out. As the Fairy Tail Mages present wonder what is happening, Brain II looks down to see he has become a younger version of himself at the Tower of Heaven. Realising that he has been affected by Real Nightmare, Brain II concludes that having full control over the Infinity Clock by himself is too much for him to bear, and that the Magic is backfiring on him. Just as he works out just how careless he was, Natsu breaks free from Genesis Zero, springing forward and tackling him head on. As Klodoa flees for his own life, Natsu and Brain II exchange blows, arguing over the true meaning of Magic power and how it is obtained. Both spouting their own ideologies on the matter, the two clash in one huge attack.

Meanwhile, as Warren, Wendy and Carla run throughout the Infinity Castle, Warren is contacted by Levy at the Fairy Tail guild, who along with the Archaeological Society learns some important information on the Clock.

Whilst Warren stands in shock, Natsu and Brain II finally conclude their fight, with Natsu's flames overpowering the dark Mage, his body cracking as he falls down through the Infinity Castle. Having defeated all of those who posses the Infinity Clock, the group turns to try and retrieve Lucy, only to realise as her voice rings out through the building that she has fully merged and become one with the Infinity Castle. Before full panic can ensue though, Warren telepathically communicates to all, stating that Lucy is still not completely gone, and that Jean-Luc and the others at the guild have found a way to save her. If Lucy can find undo the Anti-Link spells cast on the Celestial Spirit Mages who were protecting the Clock, the pieces of the Clock will once again break apart and scatter as they were once before. Despite this being the way to rid the world of the Clock, the Mages soon question what will happen to Lucy in the process, and upon hearing that no one is quite sure, ask if there is a different way to set things right. However, Lucy calls out, stating that such a risk always comes with being a Fairy Tail Mage, and that she will do everything she can for her parents, Imitatia and her guild. Focusing the Magic of the Clock, Lucy with Imitatia by her side,sends out blue shooting stars across the sky to find and free those hit by Anti-Link.

As blue lights shatter across the sky, Kinana finds Cobra where he landed after his defeat at Erza's hand. Seeing if there is anything she can do to help, Kinana asks if Cobra has been the one calling to her for so long. Cobra, shocked to hear this, suddenly realizes that she is Cubellios in a human form. Before he can say anything however, Kinana asks about his eye, and Cobra confesses to having lost it in exchange for better Magic power. When asked for his name, Cobra states that he is called Erik, but before Kinana can say anything further, Lahar and Doranbolt warp into the area, asking Cobra to come quietly with them, as they have already arrested the rest of him comrades. Kinana, saddened to hear this, falls to the ground and begins to demand Cobra not be arrested, her hands glowing purple as she angrily yells at the two Council Mages. However, before she can hurt herself, Cobra stands and agrees to be taken away, denying that he was the one calling out to Kinana in her thoughts when she asks once more. When asked if Kinana is with him, Cobra states that she isn't, continuing on that she is just looking for her friend, and that she is lucky to have one. As he leaves with Lahar and Doranbolt, Kinana concludes that he was the one who talked to her, and Cobra silently confirms, the two of them smiling at the knowledge that they finally found each other.

Waking up on top of Kanaloa, Natsu finds out that the group has been taken from the Clock and are searching for Lucy, who they have yet to find. Panicking, Natsu sniffs the surrounding air and locates Lucy's scent, he pink octopus taking to the air to go after her. As they fly, the group spots Lucy falling down towards the ground amongst the blue shooting stars, and Natsu desperately runs after her, catching her before she can hit the ground.

Later, as Lucy reminisces over the events surrounding the Clock, she returns to her fathers mansion and fixes the old tattered painting she found there at the start of her journey, smiling as she spots the doll Imitatia on her lap. She also takes doll form of Imitatia back to her apartment with her, sitting the toy on her desk alongside drafts for a book about the Clock and the adventure she had with her father's memento.

A Zentopian Farewell
Within Zentopia Church, the Archbishop gives a speech saying that those associated in the Church must repent for their sins and begin their lives renewed. Two of the attendees during the speech, Macao and Wakaba, complain about how they were the only ones out of their entire Guild invited to the ceremony. It turns out that the others in Fairy Tail are currently in their Guild's building, where the members of Legion Corps officially apologize for their actions previously; with the apologies spoken, Fairy Tail and Legion Corps celebrate.

Meanwhile, in Era, Lahar is informed that the Celestial Spirit Mages descended from Will Neville's pupils have awakened from the spell caused by the Anti-Link, albeit at the cost of their powers. He informs Doranbolt of the news. Relieved, Doranbolt also expresses happiness at the fact Fairy Tail has survived the events of the Infinity Clock.

Fairy Tail and Legion Corps continue their celebrations. Natsu and Dan participate in an eating contest together which, after Dan uses Habaraki to gain an advantage in the competition, results in chaos. Sugarboy uses this as an opportunity to get close to Gray but is stopped by Juvia. Coco apologizes to Pantherlily for her initial hostility towards him, though he brushes it off, saying that while she is not the same person he knew in Edolas she does look similar to her, which Pantherlily says is enough for him. Before they can continue their conversation, Samuel appears, wanting to fight, and the two Exceeds begin sparring, having much fun while fighting one another.

At the Guild, Gildarts and Byro share an awkward drink together. Byro would break the ice saying that he never knew that Mages such as those in Fairy Tail existed. The two men talk about how the events of the Infinity Clock have changed their relationships so much, yet in such little time. In the meantime, Lucy has a private conversation with Mary Hughes. Mary gives Lucy more insight on her life prior and during her time as a Legionnaire. She reveals that the relationship between the Heartfilia and Lobster family is apparently not true, as Imitatia had claimed previously. Afterwards, she begins to cry before finally apologizing for her initial hostility towards Lucy. Lucy forgives her and even asks if they make up.

At sunset, Byro reveals that the Legion Corps have been assigned a new assignment by the Archbishop - seal all the remaining parts of the Infinity Clock - which will also require an immense amount of time in order to complete it. Fairy Tail and Legion Corps bid their final farewells before the latter group leaves the town.
