One year after Fairy Tail disbanded, Lucy awakens and is it just me or are her boobs either bigger or perkier? They look great either way. So does her ass which we see a few panels down and then both on the next page again. Lucy gets ready for work and heads off, meanwhile, a new Grand Magic Games is taking place. Jason, overlooking the games jumps excitedly before Lucy arrives, revealing that she is working as an editor at Sorcerer Magazine. After the guild disbanded she felt alone before Jason offered her a job: as an underwear model. However, after a time, Lucy asked for a job that allowed her to write and that is how she ended up there. Back at the games, Jason states the games just aren't the same since none of the major guilds are participating. Back home, Lucy strips once again before hopping in the bath and saying she hasn't kept in touch with everyone. She claims to have been too busy but says its a lie. She wants to see them but doesn't have the courage to. Queue more gratuitous Lucy naked as she leaves the bath and she says she became a reporter to gather information on everyone's whereabouts, revealing a wall dedicated to sightings of her former teammates. At the last day of the games, two no name guilds face off and one wins in an instant, revealing themselves to be much stronger than anyone had previously thought. However, before they can even celebrate, a mysterious cloaked man enters the arena. Lucy senses the man's power and yells at Jason to evacuate the arena but is stopped when the arena begins to melt. The man challenges the winning guild, blasting them away. The arena continues to melt as do everyone's clothes as Lucy's shirt conveniently begins to melt around her boobs. The man's hood then burns off, revealing it to be Natsu. Everyone in the crowd is excited to see Natsu as Happy appears behind Lucy asking her how she has been. Happy tells her that Natsu came to see the fighters but he has already defeated everyone. After melting half the arena, Natsu looks up and sees Lucy. Smiling, he asks her how she has been, causing Lucy to believe that Fairy Tail might not be over yet.

Pretty much sums up my reaction to this chapter. This chapter was 90% naked Lucy, 10% set up for the arc. As I am a fan of naked Lucy, I liked the chapter but for the kickoff of a new arc, it didn't have the bang that Tartarus arc first chapter did. Get it? Get it?

At the palace, The King passes judgement on Natsu and lets him go free of charge after he was arrested for his actions at the games. The guard is in disbelief but Hisui just giggles over Natsu's actions. Natsu is set free and told never to return but he just grins. Lucy comes to get him and Natsu asks why no one else from the guild came. She then reveals to him that the guild disbanded which causes Natsu and Happy great despair. Natsu angrily asks where Makarov is but Lucy says he is missing and everyone else went their separate ways. Natsu says the guild shouldn't have disbanded and Laxus could have taken over as master but Lucy says he doesn't have the right to say that when he up and left without even telling anyone. Lucy takes them back to her place and tells them they can stay with her as they don't have anywhere else to go. Natsu and Happy then praise their god Lucy for her generosity. She then summons Cancer to unfortunately cut Natsu's hair. At night, Natsu and Happy reflect on the situation before deciding the only thing they can do is draw on Lucy's face while she is asleep. As they sneak in to her room, they see her wall dedicated to stalking the members of Fairy Tail. Lucy awakes in the morning to find the police about to raid her house. Natsu is surprised they already found him and grabs Lucy as they jump out on to the street. As they run, Lucy asks what he did, to which Natsu reveals that he raised the beacon of Fairy Tail's revival, the words Fairy Tail written in fire across the palace. The King is in shock but says he forgives Natsu. Natsu tells Lucy she needs to believe and they will get everyone back to the guild. As they run, a single tear enters Lucy's eye.

I was a little disappointed in this chapter. The obvious meaning of the message of fire was that Natsu writes a giant message in fire to bring the guild back together but I wanted it to be something else. This chapter was a little too happy go lucky for my tastes. Natsu has basically destroyed half of Crocus and he doesn't get any punishment? I don't know. It just felt like this chapter didn't offer much. Also, Natsu's long hair is gone, which sucks cause it was cool.

Traveling, Natsu sees a clock he once destroyed and wonder if he should destroy it again. Lucy smacks him and he says there is not enough action to take advantage of all the training he did. Natsu, looking for a challenge, challenges Lucy, who says she did her own training and accepts. However, before they can fight, Natsu unleashes a breathe of fire that knocks Lucy's skirt up before traveling some distance and stopping a robbery taking place. Afterwards, Natsu loses interest in fighting Lucy. They carry forward and Lucy says she doesn't know where everyone is but their first stop is to Lamia Scale. At Margarett town, Lamia Scale is having their thanksgiving day parade, showcasing the members of the guild. Lyon puts on a show with his ice before Toby takes the stage to do an imitation of himself crying, which leads Lyon to drag him away. Next, Ooba does a spinning act before declaring she will strip, causing Lyon to once again haul her off the stage. Then the announcer states that next is the guild's angel, the sky sisters, Wendy and Chelia. Natsu and Happy's mouths drop as well as mine cause I totally didn't expect that and thought Gray was the one that would be in Lamia scale.

Wendy and Chelia do a song and dance which stuns Natsu and Happy. Lucy says she isn't the only one to have joined another guild as others need work too. Seeing Wendy on stage, Natsu cries a bit and says he will get Wendy back from the dark side. Happy then asks where Carla is and is surprised suddenly when Carla appears before them only in human form.

....Human Carla. K. Elsewhere, some mysterious figures plot the destruction of Lamia Scale.

So some jaw dropping took place in this chapter but overall I really liked it. I like this idea of journeying around to put Fairy Tail back together. This is a nice throwback to the beginnings of FT when the guild as we know it was just forming. I am excited to see where everyone else ended up. My predictions: Gray and Juvia are together somewhere, not in a guild most likely. Erza is with Mermaid Heel, Cana is out drinking somewhere probably with Bacchus. Leave all your predictions in the comments.

Inside their guild, Wendy tells Chelia she never wants to do anything that embarrassing again. Lyon then tells Wendy she has visitors as Natsu, Lucy and Happy say hi. She runs over to see them and Natsu asks if she is taller but Wendy says she hasn't changed at all. To me, this line says something I am worried about. I don't think Wendy will ever change. I think her role in the story now is: the loli. She seems to be there just to appease the loli fans and even though it would be really cool to see a character actually age and go through changes such as Wendy should be considering her age, she will always just be exactly the same to appease the loli fans. Anyway, back to the story. Natsu then picks her up, flings her over his shoulder and starts walking off with her. After he learns he can't just walk away with her, he tells Wendy that they are reforming Fairy Tail. This discussion leads to the fact that Makarov is missing after he got in trouble with the council, now made of the Ten Wizard Saints. Natsu once again asks her to leave but Wendy says no and says she is a part of Lamia Scale now. Lyon tells her it is alright to go as the other members begin to cry at losing her. However, she still says she is staying as Carla arrives to say that that is her decision. Everyone's jaws drop once again over her human form to which she reveals is transformation magic she learned to strengthen her magic and psychic powers. Carla taunts Happy who says he trained to...and learned to eat less fish. Cause that's totally the training he needs right? Now that he eats less fish, Ultra will love him, right? Carla then goes back to her normal form, which Happy remarks is much cuter. Wendy resolves once more to stay before Natsu and Lucy go back to their inn. While Lucy sleeps, Natsu decides to spend his time tickling her feet with Happy's tail, which causes her to awaken and smack the both of them. Reflecting on Wendy, wondering if everyone else feels like her. Natsu then resolves to just kidnap her.

At Wendy and Chelia's place, Wendy says she wont leave Chelia since Sherry will be getting married soon, Chelia would be all alone. Chelia says she still has the other members of the guild and a friend wouldn't make another stay out of pity. Suddenly, the guild is attacked by large monsters and Lyon defends what he can. Chelia reveals they have a rival guild called Orochi which is behind this attack and they are using Jura's absence to attack. Though they take out the monsters, Toby says there are a hundred thousand more coming. From a distance, Orochi plans their attack while Ooba wonders if they would really go that far. They devise that Orochi must have a monster tamer and if they can take him out, they will stop the attack. Natsu gets ready to fight but before he does so Chelia, having grabbed on to Happy, kicks Natsu in the face as she and Wendy fly off to save the guild themselves.

Solid chapter. I don't really care about the Lamia Scale character so I was a little bored. Some funny moments but I am excited to see if Wendy can actually accomplish something.

So that is it for this month. Wrath will be back next month so you guys can all have your TMITM along with your TMITA which will never be as good as my article. Until next time.
