Full Summary
Erza and Natsu are going to destroy the moon. The villagers are excited, but Gray, Lucy and Happy are a bit frightened. Erza devises a plan; she will throw the Lance of Haja, and Natsu will propel it even more with his fiery abilities.

Everything is ready and the Lance is thrown. Apparently, the Lance breaks the Moon, but, after a few seconds, it is shown that it’s not the Moon that crumbles; it is instead the transparent dome of glass above them. Such a dome was created by gas released from the ritual; that crystallized and formed the evil lens. This lens was apparently the reason why the moon looked purple, and also the reason why the villagers lost their memories of being demons.

In fact, the villagers were demons from the beginning, but the dome manipulated their memories into thinking that they were humans. They remember this fact, and also remember their history. This is also the reason why they couldn’t approach the ruins. Being of darkness, they couldn’t get near such holy light. After these events,Bobo enters the village, and shows everyone that in fact he is alive. Everyone rejoiced, and spread their wings. They dance in the night's sky like angels and they decide to have a feast. From the shadows, Zalty sees it all, and using his sphere, he communicates it to Siegrain. He then breaks his transformation, turning into Ultear. Siegrain hopes that they never interrupt their plans, and the communication is cut.
