…coming soon….

Ultear reveals to Gray during their battle that her mother Ur left her as a child at a magic facility, where she was cruelly experimented on. She eventually escaped to return to her mother, only to find that she had seemingly replaced her with Gray and Lyon. The two then fall into the ocean, where Ur’s ice body had drifted out from Galuna Island, allowing Ultear to experience her past from her mother’s memory: Ur had actually left Ultear at the facility to save her life, but the facility’s corrupt doctors lied to Ur by telling her that her daughter had died. Realizing that her mother truly loved her, Ultear admits defeat to Gray.

Azuma transforms into a tree as a result of overusing his Great Tree Ark, but makes good on his promise to Erza and returns the guild’s magical power, giving Gildarts, Fried and Bickslow enough strength to defeat Bluenote and Rustyrose. Meanwhile, Ultear tells Gray that the only spell that can defeat Hades is Iced Shell. She then takes Zeref and returns to Meldy, revealing to her that she is actually trying to manipulate Gray into defeating Hades for her so she can keep Zeref for herself. However, Gray is unfooled by her deception and, catching onto her true motives, challenges her.

Erza makes Azuma promise to return her guild’s magical power if she defeats him. She herself is nearly defeated when Azuma uses the Tenrou Tree’s magic, but receives her second wind upon hearing Jellal’s voice and, drawing power from the tree’s magic, cuts Azuma down.
