Chapter Review


Well, well. After last chapter's wham episode, I am here to review as my dear friend Aha promised :P I was actually rather surprised by this chapter- for reasons why, you'll see later. Everything's come out so early today I was pretty surprised at that as well.

ANYWAY

Onto the review.

Arcadios and Yukino reveal their ranks- Head of the Holy Chivalric Order of Cherry Blossoms (please don't tell me that I'm the only one who thinks that sounds absolutely stupid) and Temporary Sergent, respectively. I honestly wish Hiro'd give us more exposition on the Holy Knights; I can't remember much about them other than they're all douchebags so far, how about you guys?

So, apparently they needed Yukino because she was a Celestial Mage and they needed a certain energy. Of course, Natsu remains a dumbass about all this and blurts in the guy's face that he doesn't understand a word he's saying. Then when Arcadios compliments him, well...



Asshattery at its finest.

Arcadios then drags the group with him and Yukino. More exposition! If the plan's successful, they will apparently be able to blow Zeref and Acnologia right outta the sky. Where they head to is the royal palace; and apparently, THEY were behind Lucy's attempted kidnapping! Arcadios didn't mean any harm, supposedly. Damn, I dunno what to think about this guy. He believed that they needed a Celestial Spirit Wizard, huh...

And so, the Grand Magic Games is revealed to be a total farce- the only reason it's happening every year is because Arcadios has been stealing magical power from various guilds to contribute towards the Eclipse; which is a door that can supposedly change the world- and a large amount of magical power was needed to build it.



I want that door. Then I'd go back and kill Justin Beiber and One Direction.

Alright, to sum this up: The Eclipse Plan is to use a Celestial Spirit Wizard, Lucy, in order to be able to successfully send the Mages 400 years in the past, when Zeref is vulnerable and mortal, and defeat him once and for all. Seriously, Zeref isn't a bad guy...

Btw, if anyone's read Hiro's previous work, Rave Master, you'll see where this is going...Once upon a time on a funky sunny island, only 50 years from when we saw the world explode, there lived a young lad having fun and causing trouble, along came a dude who had a massive sword that glowed ...Oh, sorry. Dat nostalgia.

Anyway, the mechanics of this is that Lucy will be able to use the Dimension Boundary Line of the Celestial Spirit World to open the door, as time flows differently in the Celestial Spirit World. That didn't make much sense to me, in all honesty. They were originally gonna use pseudo-magic, whatever that is...

So, when the sun and the moon intersect (which is an eclipse), in 3 days, July 7th (which is also the day the dragons vanished, as you know), they'll use the door and roflstomp Zeref.



"ATTENTION, WE ARE MOMENT KILLERS!"

So yeah, a buncha knights surround our heroes, and a midget guy (Datong, screw writing his name lol) (The Minister of Defence) reveals that he's mighty pissed off for Arcadios revealing this information to outsiders; but Arcadios just says he's just against this project- which he probably is. Moral of the day: Never trust midgets.

Though he does have a valid point; changing the past would fuck up the present. Believe me, I know this shit. *Rising Phoenix flashbacks*

So then, arresting time! :DD As he goes to arrest Arcadios, Lucy, and Yukino, Natsu, our favourite Rosy-haired Retard, decides to use Magic...



This just made my day.

Well, that's the best thing I've seen in a while. Would've been even better if the bastard had died. The door sucked up his magic -I'm crossing my fingers it's all of it- and so yeah. So then they take Lucy and that away. The midget guy reveals to Fairy Tail that, if they win, His Majesty, who is a fan of the guild, will have a hearing with the Mages and possibly even set Lucy free.

So...that's it.

Anyway, comments belong in the comments sections as always (YO DAWG I HERD YOU LIKED COMMENTS SO I PUT A COMMENT IN YOUR COMMENT SECTION...I'll admit that was terrible.) and state your thoughts on this chapter.

Per out.

Scores
A pretty meh and okay-ish chapter, but nothing to be thrilled about. I would give it a 6/10. The question of the week is about something that I've been wondering in the last pages...

Poll
Why did Datong capture Lucy along with Yukino? In order to ensure that the Eclipse Plan won't take place. Because he thinks a Celestial Spirit Mage with 10 Zodiac keys is dangerous. Because he wants to use her powers to activate the Eclipse plan for selfish reasons. Other reasons (explain in the comments)

Other Stuff
Oh by the way, Aha and I are writing our own Fairy Tail story- Fairy Tail: Dawn. It's pretty good, at least in our own opinions. So, maybe check it out sometime?
