Chapter Cover
Mashima is a man after my own heart, which is why he put my lovely Mira on the cover of this chapter.Oh, yeah, Elfman and Lisanna were there too, but honestly, who cares? >_> I'm not being rhetorical here, I'm curious to know if Elfman and Lisanna are legitimately anyone's favorite characters. 'Cause they have no appeal whatsoever imo. :D

Summary
Natsu, Erza, Gray, Makarov, Mest, Wendy, Carla, and Happy all prepare to face off against Azeal, but before they can Laxus and the rest of the B Team shows up to save their asses.

Review
This chapter was pretty damn good! It was ruined for me because Mapa posted spoilers on the spoiler thread even though it knows I can't resist them!! >___< But regardless, I still enjoyed it. Thankfully, Natsu and the others didn't face off against Azeal this chapter after all so our Spriggan survives to see another day. :D Even though I'm glad they didn't fight him, can I just say how fucking annoying Makarov is? I mean he used to be this bad ass old man, and now all he seems to be good for is crying and rambling on about how he wants to protect his "children." Don't get me wrong, there's nothing with wanting to protect your subordinates, but when that is literally all your character can do, it gets irritating. Laxus pretty much summed up how I feel about Makarov - he's getting old. Regardless, I still want to see him kick some ass. Make this happen Mashima!! >___<

And can I just say how much more I dig Azeal's abilities in this chapter? Last chapter he just seemed to have some basic Sand Magic, but the ability he was trying to use this chapter - the one that can essentially mummify anyone who comes in contact with his sand - seemed really epic! I still find him irritating, but I'm actually excited about seeing him in battle now. Now, the thing about the chapter that I loved the most was Laxus reappearing!!! And like all of his reappearances, he did it in the most epic way!!! It's why I love him.What I didn't love, however, was his hairstyle. >_> It almost looked epic, but something about it made him look... old? I don't know maybe it was just that one panel (the panel where he was telling Makarov that he was getting old, ironically), but I'm not feeling it. Change it back Mashima!! >___<

All in all, this was a pretty bad ass chapter. I can't wait until the battles against the Spriggans start. I can already tell that this is going to be good. :D... If it's done right. >_>
