History Awesome / FairiesOfTheShatteredMoon

** [[GuileHero Weiss and Gray]] each individually figuring out what was really going on in Atlas through [[SpottingTheThread deductive reasoning]]. Weiss figures out Ana is still Intelligence by provoking her into feigning ignorance of magic, which she knows she knows about since Gray overheard the sisters discussing it in Chapter 22. Then she realizes that Esper Rosenflos is in league with Watts by realizing that the latter passed up a perfectly good opportunity to catch her in the Schnee Manor bombing that would have simplified his plans. Gray gets one better, going along with [[OutGambitted Esper's plans until he's close enough to sense the Winter Maiden's power and confirm the one wearing COMMAND ESR's mask is the real Esper]] and [[SpotTheImposter not another blade clone]]. He then proceeds to nonchalantly annihilate the blade clone that had been leading him and Winter around with a trio of Ice-Make Lances.

** The entire chapter is essentially an extended one for [[MagnificentBastard Esper]]/[[MissingMom Summer]]. She reveals just how thoroughly she'd [[TheChessmaster outmaneuvered]] Weiss, Gray, and Winter from the very beginning of the arc, with everyone they thought they could trust having been [[TheMole working for her]], including all three Tremaines. Knowing Gray's Devil Slayer abilities allowed him to stand up to a partially emerged End in the past and ''might'' have chance at defeating her, she had Ana [[CombatPragmatist poison him with Bane Particles while he was in the hospital]]. She then proceeds to trounce him in combat, doing the same to Weiss when she arrives to help. When the two fire off a [[CombinationAttack Unison Raid]] that could have hurt her, she uses Virgo's powers to dodge the blast instead of trying to block. She then transforms into her [[IAmNotLeftHanded Eclipse]] [[SuperMode Etherious form]] just to show off to the Fairy Tail wizards just how outgunned they are. By the end Winter is captured, the other heroes are forced to flee to Patch as fugitives from Atlas, and Summer has taken all of Atlas for Salem with the [[VillainWithGoodPublicity people's blessing]]. She sways Clover, Marrow, and even the highly skeptical Robyn to her side.

** We get to see Hazel's [[SuperMode Eclipse]] [[OneWingedAngel Etherious Form]] and it's made clear that neither [[LittleMissBadass Wendy]] nor [[TheGift Oscar]] can beat him. His already impressive SuperStrength skyrockets thanks to Taurus to the point that, after taking one blow, Oscar believes that if Wendy hadn't been enhancing him, he would have died. What's more, he has fully mastered Tempester's powers which he uses to quickly incapacitate Wendy as well as use his ability to ride on a tornado to make up for his relatively slow speed. His [[TheJuggernaut already immense durability]] has also been [[UpToEleven enhanced that even a direct, point-blank hit from Wendy in Dragonforce doesn't seem to have caused him to take any significant damage]].

** As poorly as it ended up turning out, Blake's resolve to not allow Adam to hurt Yang resulting in her first Grimm Form was pretty awesome, if terrifying. Especially when she [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beat the ever-loving tar]] out of her former [[BastardBoyfriend abuser]], no-selling everything he threw at her and leaving him with three long scars over his face. Adam's later appearances show just how haunted he is by the encounter.

** Irene one of the most gifted and powerful wizards of all time underestimated Emerald's powers. Emerald is able to not only see through her enchantment on Wendy but also discovers that Irene is with her. Had Emerald not chosen to go along with Cinder's plans to betray Salem and her group then Wendy, Happy and Oscar would be finished.

** Gray however demonstrates that his best asset isn't his Ice Make magic or his Devil Slayer powers but his mind when its revealed that he managed to seriously weaken Hazel by taking advantage of the Gate smashing through his walls of ice slowly causing him to have Devil Slayer frostbite.

** [[WeakButSkilled Jaune]] gets some standout moments in the fight. When Wendy is overwhelmed by [[spoiler:Happy's]] Jupiter Cannon, he adds his Holy Barriers into the [[BeamOWar beam struggle]] knowing that they wouldn't be enough to stop the blast, but setting them at just the right angle to divert the attack enough that it doesn't kill the group. He then protects Wendy when he can't even stand and unlocks his semblance to heal her at just the right time to swing the battle in the heroes' favour. Even Happy and End are [[VillainRespect impressed]] by his tenacity and contributions to the battle, deeming him a worthy candidate for one of Salem's Gates.

*** Lucy's Celestial Spirit King Star dress form actually allows her to hold End for a time and even managing to fend off a few of his attacks. Keep in mind that End defeated Erza and Wendy while in his base form. That is nothing short of incredible and actually puts Lucy on the same level as Salem and Ends Etherious/Eclipse Etherious forms (though still weaker then either and she has no real experiences in wielding such raw power). Lucy who has always been the weakest member of the Strongest Team (not counting the Exceeds) is the most powerful member of Fairy Tail while wearing that Star Dress form.

* Chapter 77

*** End's Etherious form pushes his already incredible power to new heights. His flames are not only much more powerful but his speed and strength have also massively increased to the extent that they rival or possibly even exceed Hazel's when he combines his Eclipse Etherious form with all the Dust Crystals he carries and unlike the big guy he can fly. The heat generated by his body is so intense that when Ruby fire her Spirt Slayer bullets at him they melt when they make contact. End's ultimate attack Fire Devil Secret Art The End is a beam attack made of supernovas and is described by Lucy as being apocalyptic.

** Both Gray and Hazel demonstrate amazing powers and abilities. None of Gray's attacks seem to even faze the Gate what's more Hazel's new body lets him insert far more dust crystals into himself then he normally could. This lets move incredibly fast and Gray notes that a single hit would be enough to put him down and while Gray does not have the same level of endurance as Natsu or Erza he is still tanked hits from the likes of Silver, Invel and Ultear which shows just how absurd Hazel's physical strength truly is.

** Lucy gets a new Star Dress form from the Celestial Spirit King himself and the first thing she does with it is blow a hole right through a quarter mile of Grimm.

** Salem vs the Celestial Spirit King. Salem shows more of her powers managing to block her fathers earth splitting attacks using a modified version of the Amaterasu spell that Hades used. Keep in mind that the Celestial Spirit King kept Mard Geer almost entirely on the defensive for their entire duel and that was when he was being powered by badly weakened pre time-skip Lucy. Here not only is Lucy far more powerful but she has barely gotten involved in any of the fights meaning that the King is many times stronger then he was when he fought the Underworld King and she still holds her own very well and even manages to get him on the defensive.
** That being said the Celestial Spirit King also shows just how powerful he truly is. His Meteor Blade manages to break through Salem's Amaterasu spell and he manages to block multiple of her incredibly powerful attacks. Salem believes that were she to lose herself to Serams Madness he would be able to incapacitate her with Spirit Slayer Magic and its made clear that if he had a physical body she wouldn't stand a chance.

** Pretty much everyone has a massive OhCrap moment when they realize End is entering his Etherious Form and for good reason. The ancient Grimm surrounding Salem's castle start to cower in fear once he enters said form. Even more impressive and terrifying is that End actually starts to ''melt Devil Slayer Ice Magic''. Magic that was designed specifically to be used on Demons like him is melting because of the sheer heat he is generating.

** Salem uses her [[SuperMode Eclipse Etherious Form]] to accelerate her regeneration from Ruby's Fairy Glitter, marking her [[OneWingedAngel titanic hydra form]]'s first appearance in the story's present-day with an utterly terrifying entrance. Ruby, Lucy, and Loke quickly decide that their only chance of escape is to summon [[SummonBiggerFish the Celestial Spirit King]] to compete with his daughter.
