While Erza Scarlet holds off Erza Nightwalker, Lucy and the others go to rescue Natsu and Wendy, while Happy is sent to find Gajeel, as dragon slayers can inherently reverse the magic that transformed everyone else into lacrima. However, Gajeel's attempt to free everyone is hindered by the Exceed Panther Lily, a captain of the Edolas Army. Faust begins his plan to use the Dragon Chain Cannon to fuse the Magnolia lacrima into Extalia and destroy them together so that magic can rain upon Edolas forever.
