The reason why Lucy is kidnapped is that since the Infinity Clock needs celestial wizards to seal it, the one that can control it should be a celestial wizard as well. Led by Coco, Natsu, Gray, Erza, Gajeel, and Elfman set off to the Infinity Castle to defeat the Oracion Seis in order to change the ownership of the clock, so they can stop it and save Lucy. However, Cobra, Angel, and Midnight interfere, causing Erza, Gray, and Gajeel take on each of them respectively. Lapointe is actually a doll created by Personification Magic using Master Zero's hair. Gildarts somehow manage to defeat Byro.
