Full Summary
The secound exam begins. The task is to find the grave of Mavis Vermilion within six hours. Lucy and Cana have a rough start, being chased by the dangerous wildlife. The others find the task isn't so easy too and find the wildlife deadly and hostile. Natsu beats one of the creatures chasing him and asks it where the grave is. Happy tells Natsu to stop because they can't talk, but to his surprise the creature replies that it doesn't know. Natsu and Happy start thinking about the shape of the island and decide the top part looked suspicious so they decide to search there. On the island, the S-Class mages and losers set up a camp. Mirajane explains she lost to Evergreen and Elfman because they surprised her by telling her they were getting married. Erza jokes about them having a baby, leaving Mira sick. Everyone starts to wonder where Mest and Wendy are and so Juvia and Erza decide to search for him. Elsewhere, Elfman and Evergreen hurl down a hill after escaping a chase from one of the wild creatures and run into the Killing Mage. He is surprised to see people on the island, and realizes that they are from a guild. Elfman starts charging towards him, but he warns to back away. He exclaims the "predator of death" is coming and urges them to leave, but it becomes too late and he releases a "Death Wave" that destroys anything it comes in contact with. Natsu arrives in time to push Evergreen and Elfman down, avoiding the attack. The Killing Mage sees Natsu, and says his name, but Natsu demands to know who he is in the first place.
