Confronting Hisui for plotting Arcadios's rescue, Darton deduces that Arcadios has been covering for Hisui, who is the actual organizer of the Eclipse Plan. Hisui tells him about a new plan called Eclipse 2, which she has devised after being forewarned of the kingdom's destruction by a time traveling stranger from an apocalyptic future. She further explains that she has been told an "impossible" outcome of the Grand Magic Games by the stranger as a sign of trust. As this happens, Natsu and his friends encounter the hooded stranger at the dungeon's exit, where she reveals herself as Lucy from the future. Meanwhile, Erza enters a three-way battle between herself, Kagura Mikazuchi, and Minerva. Reaching a stalemate, Minerva shows them Millianna as her hostage.
