Team Lucy were already back to Magnolia after their mission. Lucy was writing a letter for her mother telling everything happen to her. Also she said that she finally found her brother, Gray. She was thinking how she being a part of Fairy tail's strongest team when her brother also involved into it.

She was really proud of her brother anyway. She can't say that she doesn't miss him a lot since they separate for 12 years. It was because of the accident about what happen to their parents. Lucy was sigh and wonder about Gray's life anyway. Himeko was sleep on the bed with comforty.

When she finishes writing, a half-naked Gray Fullbuster appears behind her. Lucy was already know that Gray will come to her house. She was turn around and look at his face who look serious. Lucy just sigh when Gray looking at her. "So, what do you want to talk with me, Gray-nii?" Said Lucy softly. Gray then hug Lucy tightly making Lucy shock.

"I'm sorry, Lucy. For not there for you. I had thought you die when that monster destroy it. I'm sorry, Lucy." Said Gray with a shaking voice. Lucy was hug him back while pat his back softly to calm him down. "It's okay, Gray. It's not your fault anyway. Don't blame of yourself, Gray-nii." Said Lucy with a calm tone.

After a few while, Gray was pull away from Lucy and look fondly to her. "Lucy, I promise to you that I will protect you. You're my sister and I won't losing you again. Can you tell me about your life, Lucy?" Said Gray simply. Lucy was a little scared to tell him but she just tell him half of her life. Another life of her, she was hiding from him because she doesn't want her brother get angry.

Gray have a feeling that his sister was hiding something from him but he won't force her anyway. He will wait for her to tell him by herself. After she tell her life to her brother, Gray had reminds her of Natsu Dragneel and Erza Scarlet’s promised battle, which Lucy had forgotten about. They leave together with Himeko to watch the match.

When they arrive at the battlefield, the conversation soon goes into who is the strongest member of Fairy Tail. Gray and Elfman mention Mystogan and Laxus Dreyar, but definitely nominate Erza as the strongest female. Moments later, the fight begins, and Erza changes into her Flame Empress Armor, an armor that halves the effectiveness of flames. Natsu and Erza begin their fight, but a messenger of the Council interrupts the fight and arrests Erza.

The rest of Fairy Tail retreats to the guild and are upset about the recent events, but conclude they cannot do anything against the council. Natsu, having been transformed into a gecko and trapped in a glass, insists that they let him out and turn him back to his original form. Mirajane and Makarov don't let him out though, in fear that he'll do something stupid like fight against the Council.

Meanwhile, at the Fiore Branch of the National Council, Erza is greeted by a Thought Projection of Siegrain just before she enters the courtroom. They argue shortly and then Siegrain leaves, but not before reminding her to keep her quiet about the past for both of their sakes. Inside the court, Erza’s prosecution begins.

Erza is found guilty of the charges as witnesses claim that the culprit had been an armored female Mage. In those same moments, Natsu, dressed as an undertaking Erza, shows up and destroys half the courtroom. They are both escorted to the cells, where Erza tells Natsu that the arrest was just a show. The Council convicted her in order to appear as if they actually enforce the law. She is momentarily mad at him, but later shows her appreciation for his thoughtfulness.

The next day, both Erza and Natsu return to the guild. Natsu wants to continue the battle, but Erza isn't in the mood. When he charges in, she gets up and launches a punch right into his stomach, which makes him faint. The guild erupts in laughter, but suddenly everyone, except Makarov and Lucy, gets drowsy and falls asleep. A cloaked figure enters the room, which is revealed to be Mystogan.

He takes a job from the board and departs, feel amazing at Lucy since she introduce herself as Gray's sister and waking everyone up afterwards. Because of Mystogan's nature of putting people to sleep when he's around, no one, but the Master knows how he looks like. Laxus, on the second floor, then interrupts by saying that he too knows what Mystogan looks like.

Laxus, just like Mystogan, is known as one of the strongest in Fairy Tail. Natsu wakes up (minutes after the others) and challenges Laxus to a fight. Laxus had told them that Lucy was get up and know Mystogan making everyone feel awe to her. Lucy was just smile nervous anyway. Gray was always know that his sister was a powerful mage and he can't deny it that no one will defeat her even Laxus.

Hearing about what Laxus said making Natsu furious. As he jumps to hit Laxus, the Master slams him down, saying that no one is allowed on the second floor except for the ones who have his permission. Laxus laughs, boasting that he's the strongest and won’t lose to Erza or Mystogan. Lucy was mutter slowly saying jerk about Laxus's behavior.

Some time later, Lucy asks Mirajane why the second floor is off-limits. She explains that there is where they keep their S-Class requests and that only a Mage of the same level can pick them up. When she returns home, Lucy finds Natsu and Happy exercising in her room. She wants to kick them out, but they show her an S-Class request. Natsu and Happy are going, but Lucy doesn’t want to. They leave and let the request onto the floor. She reads the request and finds that the reward includes one of the 12 Zodiac Gate keys. Instantly changing her mind, she follows them willingly to go on the quest. Not only the key, she also have a feeling about Galuna island. At the guild, Mirajane tells the Master that an S-Class request is missing, causing Makarov to spit out his coffee in a delayed response.
