The Last Hope is the 3rd chapter of Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest by Hiro Mashima and Atsuo Ueda, a sequel to Fairy Tail.
Team Natsu begins their search for the Five Dragon Gods in the city of Ermina, with one of them looking down on them from afar. Meanwhile, in Magnolia, Gajeel gets a team together to investigate their suspicious new member, Touka.
Summary[]

Team Natsu accepts the quest
In the Valeria region of southern Guiltina, Wendy blows away a group of jellyfish that invade Lucy's and Natsu's mouths, prompting Erza to take note of the peculiar creatures on the continent. Lucy recalls their exchange with Elefseria before their departure, in which the old dragon regarded the Fairy Tail mages as his last hope of completing the quest. The Five Dragon Gods, who were uninvolved in the Dragon King Festival, hold tremendous magic power rivaling that of Acnologia's. Though they typically stay out of worldly affairs, Elefseria, wary of their potential for destruction, learned dragon slayer magic to seal them away. However, he was unable to do so, and as a result of this failure, he sought other mages' assistance through a quest.

Elefseria names his reward
Elefseria directs the Fairy Tail mages towards the harbor of Ermina, where a religion dedicated to Mercphobia, the Water Dragon, had previously been practiced by its residents. As they travel, Natsu and Gray ponder over the inconsistencies of Gildarts' actions during the quest, while Lucy expresses curiosity over the quest reward, which Elefseria had vaguely assured them would be to grant them any one wish of their choosing. Upon arriving at the town, Team Natsu begins looking for lodging, unaware that they are being watched by a mysterious man and woman, the latter of whom refers to her companion as the Water God.
Meanwhile, in Magnolia, Gajeel confides in Lily, Juvia, and Levy his suspicions on Touka following her mention of Briar. He proposes an investigation on their new guildmate, which is met with enthusiasm by Juvia, although Levy shows reluctance at the idea of doubting a fellow member.
