Another set up chapter. Well Lucy being a writer, I wonder in a way does she represent Hiro, talking of death flags and other trope's, I wonder if she is Hiro's mouth piece. Anyway dam right Natsu wants to play strip poker. Knowing Natsu he would probably lose.

Nice to know we will have some help, Fairy Tail can't do this alone, we have the Fliore kingdom and Crime Sorciere and Charles still holds a grudge against Oracion Seis, though really they didn't destroy Cat Shelter, Cat Shelter never existed and destroyed it self. That Wendy / Erza scene, I am sure they are going to edit that in the anime, and thus a new ship is born. Ha ha ha.

All this talk about death flags, the person I am really worried about is Gray. Him saying he is going to give Juvia an answer when this war is over, that doesn't good, he sounds like he is going to die, or maybe Juvia, but Gray talking like that, he doomed one of them if you go by traditional story telling.

I am guessing we won't see the other guilds immediately, Fairy Tail will protect Magnolia, while the other guilds protect their home towns. That makes sense.

The invasion has begun, and I hope Mavis has a plan, the great strategist we need that now.

So the war has begun, now we will see what Hiro does, once the fighting that has always been his weak point, but we will see.
