Template:Nostalgic Magic/January 2012



 Hi. This is the first of the (hopefully) many monthly shots of nostalgia I can provide for you Fairy Tail fans and wiki readers out there. With the quick progress of the series, we've been slowly forgetting the awesome moments of Fairy Tail's past, and so Nostalgic Magic aims to prevent memory loss by reminding you of the Fairies' history as well as stab you a hundred times over with a bayonet while screaming "ARE YOU NOSTALGIC YET?!?!?"

This Month's Feature :



During these recent arcs, we've been virtually grovelling at Elfman's feet, the Manly Beast of Manly Beasts, for his more badass form, Beast Soul, hoping he won't whack us while we ask for an autograph, an opportunity to pet his mane and perhaps a hug since even badass beasts need some love. But how did this beastly, monstrous badassery begin? Was it a result of some a la Frankenstein experiment? Perhaps a hybrid of Take Overs? Maybe he once had a pet beast that possessed him after it died? Was he a descendant of mutant beasts and werewolves? Or maybe this Beast Soul is actually just a requipped beast costume that enhances speed and strength and looks badass at the same time?

To find out the answer, we shall jump back into the past chapters and episodes of Fairy Tail...

In year X782, the three Take Over siblings embark on an S-Class mission which involves subduing The Beast. An accident occurs during the mission which leads Elfman to try to Take Over the body of The Beast in order to save them. However, it does not turn out as planned as Elfman loses control and supposedly kills Lisanna. The trauma from this ultimately prevents Elfman from trying a Full-Body Take Over again...

That's not the most awesome way to obtain such power, isn't it? But wait! There's more...

In a close battle against the queer earthworm of the Element 4, Sol, of the former Phantom Lord Guild in X784, Elfman gains control over this formidable Take Over. With his sister and himself on the brink of death, Mirajane's tears strengthen and intesify Elfman's willpower, enabling him to execute a full-body Take Over of Beast Soul so that he may save both their lives. This battle ends in victory and the rescuing of Mirajane from the clutches of Phantom Lord's a la Optimus Prime guild.

Touching, heartwarming, epic and full of action... those are the words to describe the birth of the beast within Elfman. Look back to Chapters 55-56 and Episodes 24-25 to witness one of the most riveting moments of the Phantom Lord arc.
