Porlyusica arrives at Fairy Tail to examine Makarov and remarks that he is close to death, ordering Levy to summon Laxus. Mystogan arrives at Kardia Cathedral and battles Laxus until Natsu and Erza arrive, distracting Mystogan. Laxus blasts his mask off to reveal Jellal's face; however, Mystogan tells Natsu and Erza he is a different person from Jellal, and he disappears. Natsu says he will duel with Laxus instead of Erza, who sets out to destroy all of the Thunder Palace's lacrima crystals at once.
