Just as Dontoro was about to steal Lucy's celestial keys, Lilly was brave enough to step up, but she was scared. Before Dontoro could finish her off, Pegasus stepped in and saved her. With it being Dontoro the one who placed the curse on Pegasus from long ago, Pegasus is set to avenge his previous master.
"This is my lucky day. I get to have tons of celestial keys including the legendary blue one of Pegasus." Dontoro said.
"That's not going to happen." Pegasus said as his fists began to shine. "I swear that I will make you pay for what you have done."
"Petal Blades"
Pegasus attacked first with his Light Magic at close range, but Dontoro was able to block each of his attacks with magic power in his fists. While they were fighting, Lilly ran over to Lucy.
"Mom, are you alright?" Lilly asked.
"I was more worried about you than me." Lucy said. "I'm glad Pegasus showed up when he did." Pegasus swung his attack, but Dontoro pushed the attack down.
"Give it up. You couldn't defeat me before and you can't beat me now." Dontoro said.
"Things have changed." Pegasus said.
"I don't see it." Dontoro said as he attacked with his spare hand, but Pegasus was able to block it even though he was pushed back.
'I've got to do something.' Lilly said. She looked around and spotted Lucy's Fleuve D'étoiles. Pegasus avoided all the blasts that Dontoro threw at him.
"You can run, but your power will run out." Dontoro said.
"You don't seem to understand what Fairy Tail is truly capable of." Pegasus said.
"What are you talking about? What does that have to do with anything?" Dontoro said.
"I think he's talking about this." Lilly said. She used the whip to grab Dontoro's arm.
"What? You brat. There's no way I'm going to let you beat me." Dontoro said as he tried to break free. Pegasus was building up power and grabbed Dontoro by the collar and lifted him up.
"I'm not the same spirit I use to be. Becoming part of Fairy Tail has made me stronger and becoming Lilly's spirit has made me even stronger." Pegasus said. "We spirits grow in power when we're with a master that deeply cares about us."
"Let me go." Dontoro begged. Pegasus gave him an uppercut and sent him flying in the air. That wasn't the end of it as Pegasus build up power around his fist.
"This is for Luca! Star of the Heavenly Horse!" Pegasus shot a blast of light in the shape of a winged horse and Dontoro couldn't dodge it in midair. Dontoro got blasted and that blast knocked him out and he crashed into the ground.
"Nice blast. Thanks for the help." Lilly said.
"You don't need to thank me. It was my pleasure." Pegasus said.
"Lilly I've never been more proud of you than I am now." Lucy said as Pegasus went to help Natsu.
"Thanks, but I was so scared. I couldn't even summon Pegasus on my own." Lilly said. "I think I need to work on that before I become an official member."
"It's alright. I'm just glad you're safe." Lucy said.
"Are you going to be okay?" Pegasus asked as he was able to get Natsu back on land and had Natsu lean against him.
"Yeah. My stomach is starting to settle." Natsu said.
"Dad!" Lilly said as she was glad to see he was okay. Natsu walked on his own and held onto Lilly nice and tight to his chest.
"Lilly, you were amazing. I'm so proud of you." Natsu said. "Thanks to you to Suegaps. You saved my little girl."
"It was nothing and my real name is Pegasus." He corrected. With Dontoro out, not only does Muramasa only have two men remaining, but Pegasus was able to avenge Luca.

The Guild
Ichigo, Grimmjow, and Erza just received the latest results from the last fight and were impressed, shocked, and amazed.
"Lilly vs. Dontoro. Winner: Lilly." Ichigo read. "I didn't even know Lilly was eligible to compete in this."
"She doesn't have the emblem on her so she's not an official member. The runes didn't recognized her as one." Erza said.
"No way. That little girl can actually fight?" Grimmjow said.
"Yeah. After all, you should know who her parents are. You did try to kidnap her mother." Ichigo said.
"She's still just a little girl." Grimmjow said.
"Haven't you ever heard the story of the tortoise and the hare?" Ichigo said.
"Yeah, but females dress in bunny outfits not turtle outfits." Grimmjow said and the two started another argument that was annoying Erza.
"Someone get me out of here before I lose my mind." Erza pleaded.
…
Byakuya
Byakuya continued his search for Muramasa and the remaining two from the rooftops. Dontoro and Takameer might have been taken out, but there is still so much chaos happening and the citizens are becoming concern for they did not understand what was happening.
'This is becoming a concern. The citizens of magnolia are oblivious to what is happening around them.' Byakuya thought. 'That might be a good thing because we don't want to cause a panic. However, they may find the truth eventually and lose faith in the guild. We must stop this before that happens.' Byakuya felt his instincts and avoided a spear that was swung at him. He jumped across the street and landed on a different roof to see his opponent was Chester.
"You must be Byakuya Kuchiki." Chester said.
"Chestnut hair and a spear. You're the one behind the enchantment." Byakuya claimed.
"That would be correct." Chester said. "I'm also the one who is about to defeat you. I don't expect this to be easy with you being an S-Class wizard."
"Don't expect victory at all." Byakuya said. He held out his hand and shot out his pink petals. Chester held out his spear and spun it around at incredible speed and was able to deflect all of them. Chester jumped up and spun his spear around as he was ready to strike.
'My ability with a spear is second to none. That might give me the advantage.' Chester thought. He swung it down, but Byakuya was able to stop it with his bare hand. "Impossible. How could he have stopped that?"
"I don't like to waste my magic on peasants like you, but I'm willing to put my own personal and petty feelings aside." Byakuya said. "You endangered children and forced members of Fairy Tail to fight each other. The consequences shall be severe." Byakuya shot out more of his petals and blasted him back on the roof Chester jumped off of. Chester was having trouble getting back up and he could feel cuts against his body.
"What is this? Those petals were able to cut me. What kind of Plant Magic is he using?" Chester questioned.
"You think it's Plant Magic?" Byakuya said as he appeared in front of Chester. Chester grabbed his spear and was ready to strike again. "Bladed Flowers!" Byakuya acted first as swords made out of nothing, but pink light rained down and pinned Chester down and not a single one pierced him. "Be aware that I had them miss on purpose so you understand my magic better."
"No way." Chester said as he had no freedom to move. He can't even lift his spear without getting cut. "Swords made out of magic energy? What kind of magic is this?"
"Earlier, you thought it was Plant Magic. You're sorely mistaken." Byakuya said. "It's actually a form of Sword Magic."
"Sword Magic?!" Chester said as he didn't really believe it.
"The petals you saw earlier are actually very small blades that can't be seen by the naked eye." Byakuya said. "The magic that flows through them as well as the reflective light gives off the illusion that they are petals. This form is known as Petal Blades or Blades of Flowers."
"So that explains the cuts. You've been throwing nothing, but tiny blades at me." Chester said.
"Yes." Byakuya said. "This is where it ends for you." Byakuya raised his hand above Chester and in the sky. "Storming Petals!" The petals all rained down from the sky and poured down on Chester like a rainstorm. Chester's screams were covered by the sound of the petals raining and clashing into each other, the ground, and Chester. Byakuya cleared them all away and Chester was taken out now. "Remember that the next time you decide to go against Fairy Tail."
…
The Guild
With Chester defeated, the barrier that held Erza, Ichigo, and Grimmjow back in the guild was no more. The runes that held it up dispersed and the barrier was dropped. Erza looked up and saw the results of the last battle and figured out what happened.
"Byakuya vs. Chester. Winner: Byakuya. He must have taken down the one that had the enchantments up." Erza said.
"That means we're free." Ichigo said.
"Without any enchantments, no one can be forced to fight each other." Erza said. "You two can go on and find Muramasa."
"Forget it. I'm not working with this guy." Grimmjow said as he ran out the guild. "I'll find this guy on my own."
"What is with this guy?" Ichigo said with him not standing Grimmjow.
"Easy, Ichigo. Grimmjow is still on our side and is going to help us." Erza said. "He just said that he's going to find Muramasa. That shows Grimmjow is well adapting into Fairy Tail."
"I still don't think it's a good idea to have him in." Ichigo said. "That guy doesn't care for anyone, but himself. He's probably going to find Muramasa to fight for his own reasons."
"Let it go for now. Get going and find Muramasa. As long as he still has the children captive, he can continue with his madness." Erza said. "I also need you to try and find out why Muramasa is doing any of this."
"I'm on it." Ichigo said as he ran out the guild and went to search for Muramasa himself. Erza looked out to the city as she hoped Muramasa was well aware to what he brought upon himself.
…
Muramasa
"No!" Muramasa shouted as he heard that Dontoro and Chester were defeated. "I was so close, but Fairy Tail is starting to make a comeback and without the enchantments, Fairy Tail's strongest members won't be able to fight each other. That also means that the master and the two spirit slayers are free. I might have no choice, but to step in myself if they manage to find me. That's fine because I won't stop until Fairy Tail and all guilds are destroyed.
…
Laxus
"Seems like everything has settled." Laxus said as he as roaming the streets. "I guess the only thing left to do is find this Muramasa creep and get the kids back." Laxus was going to keep moving, but he thought he heard something. He didn't see anything, but he felt something smack him across the face. "Okay, who's the guy that's got the guts to hit me?"
"Over here." Laxus looked in front of him and found Lin. "You're Laxus Dreyar. You specialize with lightning. What a coincidence since I'm as fast as lightning. I just might be the guy to run you down." Three have fallen, Muramasa still stands, and only one of his subordinates still stand. It's the man that controls lightning against the man that's just as fast.
….
Orihime: Ichigo, I've heard Fairy Tail has done some horrible things. Is that true?
Ichigo: What do you mean?
Orihime: Like how they always destroy buildings and disrupt the peace. A few members were even considered criminals.
Ichigo: That mostly ties to Natsu and his team. Natsu does get carry away and overdoes things, but it's all good. Also that whole criminal thing, that's just because we help out fellow members that get in trouble even when they didn't do anything. We always end up paying for it anyway.
Ichigo: Next time: Atone for My Actions
Orihime: Ichigo, didn't you cause some trouble when we first met?
Ichigo: Oh…..right.
