After casting Fairy Law, Laxus is shocked to find that Natsu and Gajeel are still alive. Fried confirms that everyone in Magnolia has been unaffected by the spell, signifying that Laxus does not truly hate anyone. In denial of this revelation, Laxus continues to fight Natsu, who finally defeats him after Gajeel takes one of Laxus's attacks for him; the battle is observed from a volcanic region by Igneel, who is chastised by the dragon Grandeeney for allowing Natsu to be seriously injured. Afterwards, a humbled Laxus visits Makarov, who has fully recovered under Porlyusica's care. Makarov reluctantly expels Laxus for endangering the lives of his guildmates, which Laxus accepts. Elsewhere, Ultear contacts her master, Hades, revealing herself to have been the one manipulating Jellal while posing as Zeref's spirit. Fairy Tail resumes their harvest festival celebration by participating in the Fantasia parade, where Makarov and the rest of the guild send a tearful Laxus off with their signature hand gesture, which Laxus first came up with as a child.
