Chapter 80

Jeanne D'Arc is the 80th chapter of Hiro Mashima's Fairy Tail.

Full Summary
Natsu, Gray, Lucy and Juvia arrives and wonders why they were allowed to come in. Suddenly, a group of guards comes in, but Erza also arrives and knocks them out. She expects her friends to leave, but Natsu is the first to refuse, and leaves to look for Happy. Erza says she will be responsible for returning Happy and Natsu home, but the group still refuses, saying it is now their problem, being that they are her friends. Erza cries, and begins telling her story.

A black Magic cult was responsible for creating the R-System. She, along with others, was used as a prisoner and as a slave to build this tower. In the midst of all this chaos she managed to make friends. One of them was Jellal.

Jellal finds Erza after her punishment, with her right eye damaged. He gets her out, but is in turn imprisoned by the guards. The guards take her back to her cell, where a little Shô cries he can’t take it anymore. This wakes Erza up, both physically and spiritually, and she decides that the only way to gain freedom is by fighting. Meanwhile, in the punishment room, Jellal is shown to have become, as Erza calls him, “evil”.
