Wendy, Shelia, Carla, and Happy battle Orochi Fin, but are quickly trapped under a gravity field created by Orochi Fin's recruit, former Grimoire Heart subcommander Bluenote Stinger. Unaffected by the gravity, Natsu catches up to his friends and effortlessly defeats Bluenote with a single attack, which shocks the rest of Orochi Fin into surrendering. After assuring Wendy of her own self-reliance, Shelia convinces her to rejoin Natsu's group together with Carla. The group set off for a deserted and rainy village where a devastated Juvia Loxar resides.
