Template:The Earth Land Chronicles/April 2012

 ''Welcome to another issue of The Earth Land Chronicles. This article will be the discussion of related things in the Fairy Tail series, which will be presented in chronological order. This could include main villains, Dragon Slayers, Celestial Spirits, all in the order they were revealed. Our first series will be the story arcs of Fairy Tail, with an arc being done each month (though once in a while two). So let's continue with the Daybreak arc. '' 

The next story arc in the series is the Daybreak arc. This also marks the creation of Team Natsu!! So the arc begins with Lucy having her apartment infiltrated by Natsu and Happy (something that happens frequently). Lucy gives a short, and simple introduction to how her Magic works by summoning Plue. This part is jam packed with comedy, and was probably what made me really enjoy Fairy Tail even more.

Soon we get introduced to the plot. Some ugly rich dude has some other rich dude's book. Team Natsu are ready to help, but Natsu, being the funny clown that he is, makes Lucy believe she has a dress up as a cute maid to get into the mansion. The fails quickly as it's revealed Duke Everlue has a pretty... strange taste in women (their ugly!).

Not accepting defeat, the team decides to just be their stealthy selves and break into the mansion. After finding the Daybreak book, Lucy is not able to destroy it, knowing there is a secret to the book. This causes the Vanish Brother's to fight Natsu, and for Duke Everlue himself to take on Lucy. Kind of funny how Lucy is actually facing the big baddie of a story arc!

So Natsu easily defeats the Vanish Brother's, even after they mock Mages for being physically weak. I can see where their coming from, but did they really think they could stop a Fire Dragon Slayer with a mere pan? Meanwhile, Lucy is able to quickly read through the book and knows she must return it to Mr. Melon's son. She and Happy have a showdown with Duke Everlue, but are rescued by Natsu and one of his fat maids, Virgo! I love the introduction of Virgo, especially when we find out she can change her appearance based on the user (and thank goodness for that too).

After Team Natsu brings the house down, they return to the Melon's. As Lucy reveals the truth about the book we are treated with terrific panels of the book rearranging itself. Turns out the whole book was not Zekua Melon's worst book, but his best, as it was a letter to his son. I love sweet endings :). So even after all of this, the team doesn't take the reward for two reasons. Natsu already knows the Melon's cannot afford the cost, and they didn't actually achieve their job to destroy the book. This is probably one of my favourite moments cause it really shows how honesty Fairy Tail is, and what they stand for. A very simple arc, but also packed with comedy, and action. All the best things about Fairy Tail are put into this, and sets the stage for how Mashima plans on telling his story. Marvelous!

Well, next time is the Lullaby arc. Until next month!
