Magnolia and the Fairy Tail guild had both vanished. And, according to a certain white cat, they'd been teleported away?
So, for some reason, Natsu and Wendy hadn't been teleported with them. At Carla's direction, they followed Happy and charged toward the sky, into the enormous vortex that was about to disappear. They, too, arrived in the world of Edolas.
