Erza and Mirajane arrive at the home of former council chairman Crawford Theme, who professes his ignorance of Face, before they are ambushed by henchmen from Tartaros. Meanwhile, Doranbalt releases the Oración Seis from prison under Jellal's watch. With Brain incapacitated by Cobra and Hoteye refusing to fight, the other four members battle Jellal. Later, Erza and Mirajane collapse and are captured by Crawford, who hands them over to Tartaros. Erza awakens in Tartaros's dungeon and is tortured by Kyôka, who demands to know Jellal's location, revealing that Jellal harbors the last remaining key to Face's seal. Natsu realizes Crawford is Tartaros's informant and traces his scent to Tartaros's headquarters to rescue his friends.
