Template:The Earth Land Chronicles/June 2012

 ''Welcome to another issue of The Earth Land Chronicles. This article will be the discussion of related things in the Fairy Tail series, which will be presented in chronological order. This could include main villains, Dragon Slayers, Celestial Spirits, all in the order they were revealed. Our first series will be the story arcs of Fairy Tail, with an arc being done each month (though once in a while two). So let's continue with the Lullaby arc. '' 

This month we cover two arcs. The Galuna Island arc and the Phantom Lord arc. Starting with the Galuna Island arc, we finally start to get backgrounds on some of our main characters. This time is was Gray. Now that I think about it, this was probably the only time Gray has really gotten the spolight in the manga. There was a shimmer of hope with the whole Ultear and Gray thing on Tenrou Island, but that dissolved pretty quickly. Anyways, we start the arc out by meeting a fan-favourite character, Laxus Dreyar. Already he establishes himself as a douche. We also meet Mystogan as well. My god... who knew Fairy Tail was so awesome!

So eventually the original Team Natsu decides to go steal an S-Class job, which brings them to Galuna Island. They don't go alone though, as Gray tags along. When they arrive they learn that townspeople have supposebly turned into demons due to the moon. This leads to the task of destroying the moon. Obviously this can't be done though... Team Natsu try to go around the island the figure out what is really turning the villagers into demons. They find an ancient ruins and soon Gray is confronted by his childhood friendimy, Lyon Vastia. At first, Lyon seems like another douche bag (though not Laxus level). His companions are also weirdo's, but Toby is the weirdest of all as we soon learn he's a total zero when it comes to fighting. So after Team Natsu gets their butts whooped, we learn Gray is supposebly resonsible for the death of his teacher, Ur. And after a short battle royale featuring Sherry, Yukka, and the genius Toby, Erza shows up to take everyone back, and hang their heads above her fireplace while sipping on their blood.

Gray becomes a badass though and tells Erza "F*** you and your rules!" Erza surpringly lets him go and we get a bunch of info on Grays past. Most importantly, we learn why he always strips, which is actually a huge plot point (I'm joking). So Gray goes back to the ruins to stop Natsu from defeating another main baddie. Instead Natsu gets paired with Zalty, whose ass he whoops even though she's supposed to be one of the Seven Kin of Purgatory, and much more skilled than him at this point... Gray ends up beating Lyon, giving him what he deserves, and the team soon stops his sinister plan of ressurecting the demon Deliora, which was an overall stupid plan to begin with.

So with the bad guys defeated, why are the villager's still demons! In an impossible to guess revelation, the Moon Drip spells Lyon was using, covered up the moon, making the villagers all retarted because the villagers are actually demons to begin with! Eh, i'll accept it.

 Next we have the Phantom Lord arc! This arc defintely established the Fairy Tail arc formula of having a a short prologue, battle royale, and then final battle. So for our short prologue, our heroes return to find their guild has been f***** up. At first Makarov doesn't really care, but after the embarrasingly weak Team Shadow Gear basically get hung, Makarov is ready to kick some Phantom ass. FT storms into their enemies guild, but are defeated, including Makarov.

So with Fairy Tail depressed, Phantom Lord decides to send them a present, which includes a giant Mecha designed to destroy the guild! Erza bravely takes one for the team and is out of commision. This forces other side members like Elfman and Cana to take charge to defeat Phantom Lord. Our heroes run into the Element 4. All of them bascially are terrible characters besides for Juvia, who actually has an interesting personality (and creepy). Gray beats the shit out of her, and gets a boob-touch. ^_^

In Elfman's battle we get an emotional trip about how Elfman was basically the one who killed his sister. And Mirajane, no matter how many times you say it, it IS his fault!! After re-reading this chapter I again wished Lisanna stayed dead, espicially since she's so uesless now. Anyways, Elfman defeats his bad guys, and so do the others. Erza takes care of Aria in one blow, again demonstrating her badassness. The party is spoiled when Jose Porla shows up though and defeats everyone, besides Natsu who goes to fight Gajeel. In a very intense fight (and probably one of the best of the manga), Natsu prevails. As this happens, Makarov comes back from the dead and uses the uber Magic, Fairy Law to defeat all of Phantom Lord... Talk about cheap Magic >__>.

So in the end... well that's actually sort of it...
