Makarov has been brought to Porlyusica. She slaps him, saying that he behaved too recklessly for someone of his age and then she angrily asks Alzack and Bisca why they are still present. They say that they want to help, but Porlyusica tells them that the stench of worried faces is the like poison to a sick man.

She then says that his condition was because of a Magic called Drain, a powerful Magic that forces the opponent's Magic Power to flow out and where it eventually dissipates. She says that if they could gather up Makarov's lost Magic Power it would speed up his recovery, but that it's and that his recovery would be prolonged.

Alzack and Bisca tell her they'll inform the guild to which she angrily ask them why they are still here, to which they say that they thought that she wanted them to stay and listen to which she then chases them out. She then thinks to herself that the more Magic Power one has the more Drain affects the victim. She then thinks that if Makarov doesn't keep fighting he'll die.

The guild is in bad shape. Everyone is saddened by their need to retreat, and even more saddened by Makarov's condition. They are planning another attack. Natsu and Lucy run into the guild.

"There you are Natsu, where's Aika" Gray asked annoyed

"You mean she's not here" Lucy said worried

"No" Gray said

"Damn it!" Natsu shouted

"Calm down Natsu, I'm sure she's fine" Erza said

"But before i passes out i saw them drowning her" Lucy said worried

"Aika's a strong girl she wouldn't be defeated that easily" Erza said

Lucy blames herself for what happened to her guild, because some time before she ran away from home. She also thinks very lowly of her father, the man who orchestrated this war, but not one of her friends blames her. They accept her as their own, and Natsu dubs her Lucy of Fairy Tail. This makes her shed tears of joy.

Cana and Mirajane are looking for allies. Cana, using her Magic Card, is unable to find Mystogan, and Laxus can’t be bothered to come, so they are on their own. Mirajane is hopeless so she decides to fight, but even though an S-Class Mage originally, after Lisanna's death, she lost her powers. 

Erza is taking a shower while thinking about the situation they’re in. She blames herself for not going with the Master, but her thoughts are cut short by a tremor.

The guild gets out, and they see Phantom Lord's base walking towards them. They are all shocked, as no one foresaw this. Jose then orders Jupiter to be fired, and Erza, expecting this to be gruesome, turns into the Adamantine Armor, and gets ready to take the hit herself. Jupiter fires and Erza intercepts the full impact.

The armor holds the beam, but her Magic is seriously depleted, and she is unable to get up. Jose is mortified by this, and announces the next hit will arrive in 15 minutes. This is the time they have to give Lucy, but every member of the guild is on Lucy’s side. She is one of them, so she will not be given in.

This makes Lucy once again cry, feeling loved but at the same time guilty. Jose then presents his enemies with two options: be blown away by Jupiter, or be destroyed by Shade, his creatures. Mirajane renders Lucy unconscious and sends her to a safe location, then transforms into her.

In the meantime, Natsu, Happy, Gray and Elfman run towards the cannon, meaning to destroy it before it fires again. The others stay in the line of defense, in order to hold the guild up. Natsu reaches the cannon, but its outside cannot be destroyed by brute strength. The guildmates are fighting against the Shades, but those too are indestructible. Loke then has a bad feeling about something, and runs towards Reedus and Lucy.

Natsu gets inside the Cannon. He and Happy see a giant Lacrima, but when he tries to destroy it with a fire punch, his own punch hits him, and he falls down. Totomaru is then introduced, the Fire Mage of the Element 4. He claims that he is able to control every kind of flame, and it is true. Natsu is unable to land one single hit, because the moment his fire is ignited, Totomaru gains control. As Natsu is forced to do battle, Jupiter grows dangerously close to fully recharging.

Meanwhile inside the guild Gajeel bended down and flicked the little girl. She woke up and squeaked. Gajeel shook his head, their's no way this little girl is a wizard.

"Relax kid I don't hurt little girls" Gajeel said

"Your being sexist" she said sitting up

"Yeah whatever" Gajeel said

"I wanna go home, let me go" she said

"No can do princess, just sit there and behave so i don't have to hurt you, trust me I wouldn't want to unless you make me" Gajeel said making her sit down

"I wish i could join this guild" Aika mumbled

"Hm? Now why would you want to do that little fairy?" Gajeel asked

"Being in fairy tail sucks, nobody will let me do anything, they don't let me fight, they don't let me train, and they don't let me go on missions. I'm sick of it, i don't care if they're my family I want some freedom, i want to be stronger. Phantom Lord has so many amazing wizards including the elemental 4, I just want to be a wizard that people will acknowledge as strong" Aika confessed

"I don't blame ya kid, if you want to be a wizard then be a wizard, you don't have to listen to them, just leave" Gajeel said

"Just leave?" Aika mumbed
