Previously on Fairy Tail…
Typhoone: I will show you how powerful I can be!
*She charges at Gray. Then she stopped and jumped back as a stream of flame blocked her path.*
Sunset: Don't forget, I'm still here.
*The ground shook as the fireball caught Typhoone and exploded inside the fire vortex.*
*A portal appeared behind an injured Typhoone as she grit her teeth in anger before fleeing to the portal and it disappeared. Then a door back to the entrance opened behind Sunset and Gray as they walk into the bright light. As it faded, they saw they were back at the entrance. They noticed four magic enhanced locks appeared on each side and a big magic circle in the middle. Then on the right lock, the chains were broken as it unlocked.*
Gray: We should rest here for awhile while we wait.
Sunset: Yeah, I just hope the others are doing well.
Typhoone: I'm sorry, Lord Cysgod. I failed you
Cysgod: Normally, I would punish you right now for failing me… But, I will need your assistance for my plan. So for now, you have a second chance.
Typhoone: I promise I won't fail you again, master.
Cysgod: You better…

Inside the Ice Castle…
Natsu, Lucy, and Happy found Blizzard on the throne room, waiting.
He hopped off his ice throne as the temperature of the room is getting colder and colder.
Natsu didn't hesitate as he flew up, wings and hooves blazing as he charges towards him.
Blizzard only smirked as his horn glowed, a barrage of ice shards flew towards Natsu.
Natsu avoided the ice shards but as he did, the shards turned to him. Natsu used his blazing hooves to block the shards as it collides with him.
He then lands back to the ground. But Blizzard was already making his next move.
“Ice make: Manticores!” The ice formed into three manticores made of ice in front of the trio.
“I open thee, Gate of the golden bull: Taurus!” Taurus burst out from the ground and let out a loud moo as he spins his giant battleaxe over his head before putting it on his back. He then turned to Lucy as his eyes turned heart shaped.
“Hello again, miss Lucy. This place is very cold, do you want somepony to hug you for warmth?” He said in his usual self.
Lucy groaned as she turned to the ice manticores. “Taurus, Natsu need some help taking those down.” She said as she points at the manticores.
“Anything for you, Lucy.” He said as he took his battleaxe from his back and started spinning it before striking at one of the manticores, cutting it in half.
“Great job, Taurus.” Lucy said with a small smile as Taurus grinned before returning to the spirit world.
Natsu is dealing with the two manticores. As the first manticore attack with it's claws, Natsu flew up to evade the swipe but the second manticore used it's ice tail and smacks him in the air, sendind him crashing towards the ice wall, leaving a small crater.
He recovered and flew out of the crater before flying above the two manticores.
“Fire dragon: Roar!” Natsu released a fireball from his mouth as the fireball hits the two manticores, leaving a large crater. As he lands back to the ground,
“Ice make: Vines!” Vines made of ice sprouted from under Lucy and Happy and grabs them both, wrapping itself round them.
“Lucy, Happy!” Natsu ran towards them and tries to break the vines, but with no avail. He grit his teeth as he turned to Blizzard and runs towards him.
“You jerk! I'm gonna make sure your ice turns into a puddle!” He shouted as he pulled back his left hoof and goes to punch, only to be caught by Blizzards hoof. Then suddenly, Natsu’s flames on his body disappeared as the hoof that was caught by Blizzard was crawling with ice.
“You fool, you do know whenever I touch somepony, will be frozen. Oh wait, you don't.” He said as the ice was slowly trapping Natsu into an immobile state. He let go of his hoof as it was covered in ice.
“Natsu!” Lucy and Happy shouted as they tried to break free but to no avail.
“Do not worry. You will soon suffer the same fate.” He said coldly. Natsu was trying to break free by engulfing himself in fire.
“Try all you want, my ice is strong enough to withstand any kind of fire magic. Your fire is worthless here.” He said, turning to Lucy and Happy. But then he stopped as he felt a warmth feeling. He turned back to Natsu as his fire intensified. But what shocked him was the ice that was freezing him was slowly cracking.
As the ice broke and an intense fire erupted, Blizzard was blown back by the force to a pillar. As he stood up, he saw Natsu, his hooves and wings blazing once again.
“If you want to mess with my friends, you have to get through me.” He said with a toothy grin. “Cause i'm all fired up now!” He said.
Blizzard scoffed as his horn glowed. “Ice shards!” Multiple ice shards are going towards where Natsu was standing.
“Fire dragon: Roar!” He released a stream of fire, burning away the shards as it continues on it's path towards Blizzard. Blizzard then casted an ice wall to block the attack, only to break. Much to his shock.
“Fire dragon: Wing attack!” Natsu then jumps into the air, and then ignites two streams of fire from his wings, subsequently swinging such streams at Blizzard and blowing him away.
Blizzard was lying on the middle of the large crater as the ice vines holding Lucy and Happy captive disappeared.
“Natsu, you did it!” Happy said excitedly. Natsu gave a toothy grin, but then he turned to Blizzard.
Blizzard was slowly standing up, but what's surprising is, some of his body was slowly starting to crack.
“This...isn't over...Natsu Dragneel.” He said as he grits his teeth in pain. Then the portal that Typhoone went in appeared behind him. He ran in and then the portal disappeared.
Suddenly, the whole castle was starting to collapse. Behind them an ice door opened as they hurriedly ran in before the castle collapsed.
As they got out of the room, they realized they were back from where they started and saw Sunset and Gray waiting.
“You guys made it out.” Sunset said with a small smile.
“Yeah.” Lucy responded with a smile of her own.
Meanwhile, Natsu and Gray were already at each others throats.
Sunset, Lucy, and Happy only sighed in defeat as they could only watch the two brawling it out.
Then something got their attention. They turned and saw the magic locks. One of the locks broke as only two more locks remaining.
“Two down, two to go. And then the last is Cysgod.” Sunset said with a worried look on her face.
“I hope the others are gonna be okay.” Lucy said with the same look. Happy nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile,
Cysgod was furious as he watched the whole fight.
“You failed me, Blizzard.” He said coldly.
Blizzard, who still has cracks on his body, lower his head.
“I would accept any punishment you may give to me.” He said calmly.
Cysgod didn't say anything as he took his magic that he gave to Blizzard from him. Blizzard then fell to the ground unconscious.
The cracks on Blizzard's are getting bigger, as the his magic was not enough to heal them.
Cysgod levitated his body and threw him into a portal to the Frozen North as he knew it was the only way to heal him. He then closed the portal.
He then turned to look at the last two fight.
“Time to see what they're capable off..”

Happy: Sorry, but looks like your gonna have to wait until we get back to the guild.
Natsu: Oh, come on!
Lucy: Anyway, I'm sure it's not the last time we'll see him.
Natsu: When he shows up, I'm going to pound him until he's out!
*Next time: Clash of the warriors*
Lucy: A brainwashed general? Looks like Abyssal and Drac got to be careful.
Happy: Go, Abyssal and Drac, you can do it!
