Taking place 20 minutes before Face's detonation, Natsu and Igneel fight Mard Geer and Acnologia, respectively. Sting and Rogue arrive and join Natsu, who reluctantly accepts their help and manages to push Mard Geer back. Enraged, Mard Geer places E.N.D.'s book down to use the full extent of his curse power to survive the dragon slayers' onslaught. Meanwhile, Makarov telepathically contacts his guild to reveal their ultimate weapon, Lumen Histoire, which is Mavis's body preserved in crystal.
