Night fell...
At the Fairy Tail guild's temporary camp, little Annie, Makarov, Erza, Natsu, Mirajane, Lucy, and all the other guild members still on Tenrou Island gathered once again. They surrounded a bonfire and discussed the situation around a simple wooden table. A birdcage made of vines sat on top of it.
"All right, everyone..."
"Here's the situation: the guild master and vice guild master of Grimoire Heart, the Seven Kin of Purgatory, and their two powerful elites have all been captured. Most of the other guild members fled on their own, so their guild has basically been completely wiped out by us."
"As for the members of the new Magic Council, like that Mr. Doranbolt, they retreated from the island with their troops in disgrace. The only one left is that Zeref—the strange man Annie ran into earlier, Zeref Dragneel."
"So, what do you think we should do now?"
After laying out the situation, Mirajane, Fairy Tail's poster girl, the guild master's secretary, and the head of internal affairs, smiled at her companions, who were seated around her, and asked.
The battle had been dangerous, but thankfully, the guild members had worked together to defeat their enemies and thwart some of their schemes.
"What else can we do?"
"Of course we all set out together, find that evil Black Mage Zeref, and beat him!"
"I'm fired up!"
"Once we've dealt with them all, we still have to hurry up and hold the S-Class Mage Exam!"
"Why don't we just have a big free-for-all? Whoever's the last one standing wins. What do you think?"
Natsu was the first to speak up with his opinion, still fixated on the S-Class Mage Exam.
"We..."
"??"
"Hey! Why are you all looking at me like that? What's wrong with what I said?"
