Fairy Tail: Gekitou! Madoushi Kessen/Phantom Lord

As Galuna Island dealt with Gray's past, this chapter primarily deals with Lucy's past. It also introduces two of the series' major characters: Iron Dragon Slayer Gajeel Redfox and water wizard Juvia Lockser.

The team’s next adventure begins when Fairy Tail’s guild hall is destroyed. When the guild uncovers the identity of the attackers as rival guild Phantom Lord, they declare war and storm the aggressive guild’s own headquarters.

Upon returning to the guild hall, Phantom Lord launches a counterattack by mobilizing their headquarters and aiming the powerful Jupiter Cannon right at Fairy Tail. With the entirety of the guild realizing the danger behind this weapon, Natsu takes action and comes across an S-Class Mage of Phantom Lord.

With Totomaru still full of fiery confidence, Natsu’s friends arrive to lend a hand.

Following Totomaru’s defeat, Gray is confronted by another of the Element 4 and, by association, an S-Class Mage.

Juvia falls in love with Gray, and the rest of Fairy Tail continue their battle. As one of the strongest Fairy Tail has to offer, Erza challenges Phantom Lord’s leader, Jose Porla, to a battle.

While Erza battles the guild master, Natsu arrives to settle the score against Phantom Lord’s cocky Dragon Slayer in the penultimate battles of the chapter.

Following Gajeel’s defeat, Makarov arrives to aid his young followers to victory against Phantom Lord.

As Lucy reminisces about her poor relationship with her father, made worse by the fact that he hired Phantom Lord in order to bring her back, the guild reassures her that she will always have a place within Fairy Tail. Meanwhile, guild member Loke reveals himself to be a Celestial Spirit and the leader of the Twelve Zodiac Keys, Leo. Following certain events, he offers his key to Lucy, allowing her to use him in battle. On that note, the chapter concludes.
