Full Summary
With Natsu's proppeled punch, Yuka was defeated. This leaves Toby, who will fight by using his paralyzing claws. But using his wit, Natsu makes him paralyze himself, and concludes he really was an idiot. He puts Bobo’s grave into place, and leaves.

Elsewhere, Lucy wakes up, to a crying Sherry. She complains that now Lyon won’t love her, and also Angelica is hurt. Lucy doesn’t seem phased by this, and the cat fight begins. Sherry creates a wood doll, and Lucy summons Taurus, who breaks the tree in one shot. However, Sherry reveals that Celestial mages are at a disadvantage before her, since she can control Spirits herself. Taurus unwillingly changes sides, and attacks Lucy. He apologizes to her, and feels ashamed, but Taurus simply cannot control himself. Sherry makes Taurus attack, while Lucy tries to make him reason. She reminds him of the day they made their contract, and his promise to protect her. This makes him gain a little more control, and Lucy, because of sheer will and her growing magical powers, forces Taurus Gate closes. This makes her more confident then ever, and she gets ready to fight using her whip.

Inside the ruins, a masked figure asks Lyon why he didn’t finish off Gray. He responds that he has no taste for bloodshed even though he ordered the entire village whipped out. However, he doesn’t forget to say that should Gray confront him again, he will show no mercy.
