Refusing to kill Merudy, Juvia instead tries stopping her from committing suicide. In doing so, Juvia witnesses Merudy's happy memories with Ultear through their connected senses, and persuades her to stop fighting. Meanwhile, Gray encounters Ultear, who says that he is his ally and that her plans for Zeref are part of her mother, Ur's, will. The other members of Fairy Tail encounter Grimoire Heart's remaining forces: Erza faces off against Azuma; a weakened Levy, Lisanna, and Panther Lily against Rustyrose; and Natsu, Lucy, and Wendy against Grimoire Heart's massively powerful deputy commander, Blue Note Stinger.
