In Crocus, the dragon Motherglare lays multiple eggs that hatch into dragon-like offspring, which the other wizards fend off. As the Dragon Slayers fight each dragon, Wendy encounters Zirconis, whom she is reluctant to fight. However, after Zirconis mercilessly strips Lucy and the soldiers of their clothes in preparation of eating them, Wendy resolves to defeat him. Zirconis tosses Lucy away, sending her crashing into Natsu; when Lucy complains about the situation with Zirconis, Natsu gets an idea and immediately returns to the battle. Lucy discovers her future self's notebook among the rubble. Meanwhile, Jellal comes to Erza's aid in the city, but is confronted by a furious Millianna.
