Seeing her exceptional abilities, Makarov recalls that Mavis was once known as the 'Fairy Tactician' who lead her forces to victory in battle with her strategic ability. Erza encounters and defeats Jenny while Gajeel, having beaten Eve, takes out Ren and the fleeing Hibiki is picked off by Gray. While Rufus is shaken by this, the team moves out. However, thanks to Mavis, Erza, Gray, Juvia and Gajeel are able to dodge his technique while Laxus, due to the move's use of Lightning, is able to block it. On the battlefield, Rufus senses the movements of the Fairy Tail Mages and attacks with Memory-Make: A Night of Falling Stars. Fiore is addressed by her guards about beginning her work, something she agrees to as she decides to start the Eclipse 2 project. However, on the way it is revealed that the guard is really Mirajane, with the help of Transformation Magic, in disguise, with the Exceeds hiding in her clothes, as part of her plan to rescue Lucy. Speaking to the other guards posted, the capturing authority heads to the dungeon in order to imprison the two Mages. Revealing that over the past several days, she has been observing their opponents and has now contemplated millions of strategies, she states that things have gone as she expected and orders the team to go forth into battle.Д®lsewhere, Natsu and Wendy have seemingly been caught by a guard after having attempted to sneak into Mercurius. Seeing that despite what has happened, Team Fairy Tail has not moved, Makarov gets angry over their inaction, that is until Mavis explains to him that they need to be calm. Elsewhere, Millianna has defeated Rocker and thus eliminated Quatro Puppy from the game. However, this does not bother Minerva, who is fine with her teammates avoiding Jura and Kagura. Though the Lamia Scale Mages then plan to defeat him, the two are swiftly attacked from behind and defeated by Kagura, whom Sting avoids. Though the prepare to double-team him, Sting suddenly descends and smashes Team Quatro Puppy's leader into the ground, earning Team Sabertooth five points. While Lyon and Jura beat Semmes and JГ¤ger respectively, Yuka and Toby assess their team's good position when suddenly Bacchus appears. However, Team Fairy Tail remains motionless, prompting their guildmates to shout at them to move, all but Mavis, who stares on them solemnly. Nobarly is quickly beaten by Yuka and Toby Horhorta while The Trimens swiftly defeat Beth and AraГ±a. Meanwhile, other teams begin battling it out. While the members of most teams break up in order to fight individually, Rufus and subsequently the audience, is surprised to see that the members of Team Fairy Tail have their eyes close and have not moved from their spots. With the survival game started, a determined Team Fairy Tail gets pumped.

Following which, Gray and Laxus state that they have another reason to win: for their guildmates, who suffered while they were gone for seven years. Juvia and Gajeel state that if Natsu and the rest are able to save Lucy it would be fine, but hopes cannot be pinned on it.

Erza talks with her team, telling them that they need to win for Lucy's sake. With one point earned for each enemy defeated, and five points for each team leader beaten, any team can theoretically be the victor. Mato announces that the battlefield will be the entire city of Crocus, with the various teams having dispersed in order to prepare. Looking back at the Domus Flau, Wendy states that they will definitely rescue their friend and wishes Erza and the rest of her team good luck in the event.Д«ack at the stadium, amidst the cheers of the crowd, the final event is set to begin. However, Mirajane claims to have an idea of her own, much to everyone's relief. Claiming to have a good plan, Happy comes up with disguises for the Mages to wear, but his idea is quickly shelved due to their ridiculous appearances. On their wait to rescue Lucy, the rescue team discuss saving Lucy, but Wendy asks how they will be able to enter the palace undetected. In the stadium, the competing teams are introduced one by one along with their respective point totals, with Team Fairy Tail at the top of the leader board. Discussing their plan to rescue Lucy from her prison, Makarov and Mavis note the need for their team to fight in the Grand Magic Games as a cover while a rescue team heads out to retrieve Lucy personally.
