While at the Akane Resort, Erza has been kidnapped and taken to the tower of paradise, a construction created to bring the dead back to life. With this tower the goal is more specifically to bring the powerful dark mage Zeref (Fairy Tail have already fought two of Zeref's demons earlier in the series) back to life. Erza worked on the construction as a kid, but why hasn't she told anybody about her past? And why is she being taken back now, by her former friends?
Makarov is called to the council to witness and be delivered the fate of Fairy Tail. After some tense discussion (that we don't get to witness yet must suppose there is), Fairy Tail is deemed not guilty. Jose is taken away his status as one of the 10 magic saints (oh yeah, Makarov is one of the holy 10 as well).
The battle is over. Natsu speaks to Gajeel about their common past, being dragon slayers and all. It turns out Gajeel was trained by the steel dragon Metalicana. As for Natsu, if you didn't know it already, it's Igneel the fire dragon. Turns out both dragons disappeared at the same time, the 7th July year 777. Seven years ago. What a strange coincidence! Or, is it a coincidence??
