 ''Welcome to another issue of The Earth Land Chronicles. This article will a relatively sarcastic overview of things in the Fairy Tail series, which will probably be presented in chronological order. This could include main villains, Dragon Slayers, Celestial Spirits, probably in the order they were revealed. Our first series will be the story arcs of Fairy Tail, with an arc being done each month. So let's continue with the Tenrou Island arc.'' 

Welcome to the newest edition of The Earthland Chronicles where we're going to go through the various arcs of Fairy Tail in comedic style! This month, we're continuing with and finally finishing off the Tenrou Island arc!

So now we're on the final part of the Tenrou Island arc. Honestly, it's pretty bad (though I admit it does have its plus points) but it does set things up for the later arcs of the series. So here we go.

Let's continue where we left off. Erza's been beaten by Azuma and had her voice called out by Carrot's inmate boyfriend. Somehow, the transient sounds of his voice is what reawakens Erza and, moved by her friends as all Fairy Tail characters are and/or will be, she cuts down Azuma with her sword. In the following aftermath, Azuma turns into a tree due to overusing his Magic but restores the Magic that he took from everyone. I'd love to mention that he tells Erza that Jellal walks the path of nihilism. If you get the Bleach reference here, give yourself a million smart-points. Hell, it's so subtle it may not even be intentional. Or I'm over-thinking it. Ah, whatever.

Elsewhere, thanks to the return of the Magic, the Fairy Tail Mages are able to fight back against Grimoire Heart. In an epic display of his strength, Gildarts manages to turn the battle on Bluenote quite easily and break a black hole and send Bluenote flying. Meanwhile, Freed, Bickslow and co. are fighting Rustyrose. With their Magic back and a little bit of strategy and cooperation from Lisanna (finally useful for once since she returned from the "dead") and Elfman, the Dark Mage is beaten.

And at the same time, Gray takes Ultear's advice on beating Hades with Iced Shell but it isn't too long before she shows her true colors as a villain and says she was never his ally (as if any of us got surprised). Thankfully though, Gray was aware and shows up just in time to stop her from killing Juvia as a fight between the two ensues. Finally!

The fight is tough on Gray since Ultear's Magic pretty much makes his useless till he decides to freeze his blood and use that to attack. Yeah, the anime actually showed us blood for once. Though we can be thankful that the days of pretending blood was "sweat" are gone (looking at you, One Piece by 4Kids, the company of destruction) and we can now see blood normally. Though it isn't as much as it should be >_> But anyways, this forces Ultear to adopt a new strategy: her own Ice-Make Magic which puts Gray back on the ropes. Rumble time! It's here that we find out more about Ultear's past, like how she had a ton of Magic in her body but was so young it was bad for her and got taken away and experimented but she escaped and saw Ur with Gray and Lyon and thought she was replaced (how she wound up getting there when she was taken away so young never being explained, of course) before Hades soon found her and taught her Magic. It isn't long before the two get down and dirty and over a cliff (I wonder if that can be a new euphemism) and Ultear winds up in the ocean. As we all remember, the ice which Ur became to encase Deliora melted and merged with the ocean and now, Ur is communicating with her daughter. Shouldn't she be diluted as hell? The truth is that she cared for Ultear a lot and never saw Gray or Lyon as a replacement, showing Ultear what she was really like. Taking advantage, Gray freezes her over and wins the battle.

Meanwhile, Zeref kills Zancrow (sorry Hungry =|) when he tells Meredy that Ultear destroyed her hometown when she was a kid. After the deed, Zeref mutters "Acnologia" but we don't quite know what this means yet, though Doranbolt is pissing his pants over it. Meanwhile Team Natsu regroups with Wendy, Carla and Pantherlily to attack Hades head on. The whole team actually fights competently and Lucy and Wendy are even able to pull a Unison Raid out of their asses and hit Hades square on while Gray, Erza and Natsu attack as well. Of course, it's all in vain cause Hades is just one, badass dude who doesn't take a bit of damage from their attacks cause it's too early in the battle for him to be hurt, of course. It's now that he shouts "Katsu" and suddenly, Wendy just blinks out of existence and leaves only her clothes (but apparently no panties, as Rem once pointed out) behind, much to everyone's shock. Luckily though, she's saved by Lucy's clock spirit whose name I can't be bothered to remember and he returns her to the battle after giving her some new clothes. Anyways, the battle ensues and this time Hades pretty much kicks the crap out of all of them with various Magic and reveals that he was the 2nd guild master of Fairy Tail. Now here's where it gets good. As Natsu is about to get killed, Laxus shows up to save him. Much as I don't like Natsu, I enjoy Laxus way more. With him here, you know something with happen. It's here that he starts fighting Hades and actually puts up a good fight but Hades still proves too much so then he gives his Magic to Natsu and lets him power up to the Lightning Flame Dragon Mode. Using this, Natsu is able to beat Hades. Or so you would think. In reality, all he did was a little battering. Hades is a freakin' tank and then decides to get things going.

With his demon's eye, Hades manage to bring forth a crap ton of monsters via his Magic, which basically scares the pants off everyone, even Erza. Of course, it's Natsu who, remembering Gildarts' speech about fear, helps everyone get up to fight. And thanks to a nice plot convenience for a ridiculous plot device, Hades loses his power thanks to the Exceeds destroying his "heart" and allowing Natsu to finish him off. When other Grimoire Heart members appear to attack though, who should show up by Makarov and the rest of the guild, who send them running between their tails before leaving Hades for the dead.

And so with Grimoire Heart pretty much dead, Fairy Tail heads back to their camp to recoup. Laxus plays around with Lisanna's face to see if she's really the same one from before. Juvia wants to be punished, as usual, by Gray. Mashima wants to be a perv so he draws up a scene of Cana and Lucy together in a natural bath healing themselves with herbs. Cana no longer has Fairy Glitter (to our relief since we know how OP it is) and now it's time for her moment to come. Approaching Gildarts, Cana tells him he's her father, causing him to, in one of the funniest moments in this (or any anime) series, ask whose daughter she is by listing off about 13+ girls he's slept with (in number, not age, perv) that he remembers. However, this isn't a hentai manga and so naturally, Cana's mother was Cornelia, the only woman Gildarts ever really loved and married but left him cause he was a workaholic. The power of love is interesting. Too bad we can't have more of this rather than Nakama Magic.

TheCarrotSaysYumYum: Jellal and Erza!" The whore: Me and Mira!

Elsewhere, Zeref has invaded the Grimoire Heart ship to make them repent and tells them about "Acnologia". Meredy and Ultear row away in a boat and talk. Ultear's sorry about what she did and decides to kill herself but Meredy saves her, wanting to live with her.

It's now that the big leagues start. Acnologia himself shows up. He's the big black Dragon who took an arm and leg and then some from Gildarts on Mt. Zonia and pretty much dominates Fairy Tail, forcing Makarov to hold him back and allow everyone to run, even though they want to stay and fight. Naturally though, as Makarov is about to meet his end, they do come back, having been unable to leave him to die. Sadly, they're also unable to do anything to Acnologia since their Magic doesn't scratch him. As beast is about to unleash his Dragon Roar, everyone decides it's a good time to hold hands and sing "Kum ba yah" as Acnologia attacks and obliterates the island.

None of the search efforts turned up anything and Acnologia disappeared once again. Seven years later, a boy nobody cares about stands out on the docks looking at the sea, bearing the mark of Fairy Tail on his arm.



Sadly, there wasn't much to show when it comes to fanservice in the rest of this arc but I'm just drop this stuff here.





Yeah, that's basically it. Thus ends the Tenrou Island arc. Check out the next edition of The Earth Land Chronicles next month where we till take a look at the next arc of Fairy Tail, which will also take us into a brand new world.

Till then!
