Natsu and Gajeel challenge Laxus to a duel. The guild and the town of Magnolia immediately organise an entire festival around the event, since it has been seven years something noteworthy like that has happened. Even though Natsu and Gajeel have increased in power since their last encounter with Laxus, it might not be enough to defeat the former S-Class Fairy Tail wizard.

The battle between Earthland's Sugar boy, Hughes, Coco and Fairy Tail rages on. Meanwhile Gildarts faces off with Earthland's Byro, where he finds out that Fairy Tail is facing a secret mage order called the Legion Corps.
