Lyon reveals his plan to fight and kill Deliora, something Ur failed to accomplish, thereby achieving his dream of surpassing his teacher. Gray is badly injured, but a partially frozen Natsu finds him and returns him to the village, where Natsu finally thaws out. Three of Lyon's followers—Sherry Blendy, Yuka Suzuki, and Toby Orrolta—arrive atop Angelica, Sherry's gargantuan-sized rat, who pours a flume of acidic jelly on the village to destroy it, but Natsu protects the villagers by dispersing the jelly with his fire magic. After Natsu defeats Yuka and Toby, Lucy battles Sherry, who has the power to control Lucy's celestial spirits.
