Man, in my opinionthis chapter was a bit stupid (less emphasis on bit and more in stupid). There could have been some other ways to save the guild other than just as yourself said, Deux Ex Cana. I'd like to put my points here: 1. Shô (not exactly) showing up. I'm not even pointing the absurd convenirncy here. If i can remenber it, Shô was one of Erza's childhood friends,and he cared deeply for her. If he would ever apear in Magnolia the first place he'd go would be Fairy Tail's Home, to of course see her again after about 8/9 years. Now, what ou do when you find out your childhood friend is imprisioned by demons that want todestroy all humans? I bet you would stay and offer your help, and wouldn't acept a no as awnswer right? This should at least put him inside the guild when the attack happens. The only way I can see this not happening is Cana lying about Erza being in a mission so he wouldn't get involved and potentially wounded. I don't think she would do this as she, understanding the situation, would accept any possible help in the upcoming war. 2. A normal conversation (with someone you supposedly never met before) rarelly turns into "Look i can turn people into cards". OK, it's a manga about people with magic so "what's your magic?" can be a common topic, but I just daon't see it happening. And even then, "wow, I use cards too, tell me hoe you do this", "It's easy, you just have to...". Even with Cana's proeficiency with card magic, I think learning a new magic can take more than some hours, especially under the stress that Cana is going through (just like every other fairy), and doing that to so many people at the same time. 3. While not as bad as the above i think (my opinion here) that the fact of other fairies breaking out of their prisions almost at the same time as their friends stormed the cube sort of ruined the point of tracking and attacking the demons. They should be saved, not free themselves. To me it's basically saying Natsu, Erza and Mira just don't need their friends because they're too good/OP/Plot Armoured to be saved/helped by the relativelly weaker ones (this is one of the things that makes Naruto bad IMO).

While I'm ok with the whole guild being saved by Cana, I think it could have been beter developed. The way he put it looked more like a cheap way Mashima found to rush the guild's attack to Cube. Cana's possible sacrifice that some people was expecting would also prevent her from one shoting the demons with Fairy Glitter. P.S.: Sorry for the long text. P.S.: Look Out Max got a broom.
