Erza turns into a child while trying to find the Eternal Flame and runs into Minerva, who has joined a dark guild. Natsu is also turned into a child by Doriate. Lucy and Wendy fight the treasure hunters and are saved by Flare.

Although Gray's magic power has decreased, his tactical skills have not, and he outwits Doriate. Doriate loses control and transforms into a demon, turning the remaining people on the island into children.
