[[folder: Natsu and Wendy's Day Out]]

* Chapter 1 shows Wendy sitting all alone in the guildhall. When Natsu asks why she hasn't talked to anyone, yet, she reveals that everything is so much different from when she was in Cait Shelter. It's obvious that the poor girl is still upset about the loss of her original guild and is having a hard time adjusting to being in a new one.
* In Chapter 3, after taking a break from sparring, Natsu and Wendy watch the sunset together, and Wendy expresses how much she misses her foster mother, Grandeene, prompting Natsu to hold her and say that he misses Igneel, as well. It also doubles as Heartwarming due to the fact that at least the two Dragon Slayers have found kindred spirits in each other.

* In the final chapter, Haru is seen sitting with Blue Fang while Natsu and Happy are eating. When Natsu notices his sister isn't joining them, he goes to sit with her and she conveys to him that she can't help but feel sorry for Erza because she knows that she loved Jellal and is heartbroken over the fact that she'll never see him, again. All Natsu can do is try and reassure that maybe fate will allow them to be together, and all Haru can do is hope.

* After everything is said and done, it is soon revealed that Cait Shelter was never a real guild. Roubaul, who was actually the last of the Nirvit Clan and a thought projection after his real body died ages ago, fabricated the guild for Wendy so that she wouldn't feel lonely. Upon realizing that the guild she loved was all fake, the poor girl can only cry in despair and beg her friends not to leave her.
** It turns into more Heartwarming territory after Erza and the others invite her and Carla to join Fairy Tail.

* In Chapter 13, Team Natsu has been soundly defeated by Brain's alter-ego, Zero, who wants nothing more than destruction. Haru has managed to regain consciousness after hearing Hibiki call out to her using his telepathy, but upon remembering Zero's power, the poor thing is too terrified to even stand.
** Thankfully, Natsu and the others manage to regain consciousness as well after hearing an encouraging speech from the others.
* In Chapter 14, Jellal, who had come to help Natsu and Haru, takes an attack for the Dragneel Siblings from Zero. As he lays wounded, he claims that he doesn't blame Natsu for hating him and he's not asking him for forgiveness. He just wanted to be able to help, somehow.
* Chapter 15 is full of these:
** First of all, the Rune Knights, commanded by Lahar, have come to arrest all of Oración Seis, including Richard, who acknowledges that even though he now walks the path of light, he still has to pay for the crimes that he's committed. He just wished to see his younger brother again.
*** This turns into a happier TearJerker when it's revealed that his brother is actually Wally Buchanan, one of Erza's friends.
** After that, Lahar immediately arrests Jellal, who doesn't even try to resist. When he is about to get taken away, Haru intervenes and attempts to help Jellal escape, and soon after, the others join in. When Lahar threatens to arrest all of them, Erza decides that enough is enough and lets the Rune Knights arrest him anyway, claiming that she'd take full responsibility. It is then that Jellal reveals that he finally remembered Erza's scarlet hair and the two share a painful goodbye...because they both know that they'll never see each other again. After Jellal is taken away, Erza goes off on her own, and everyone can hear her despaired cries as the sun rises.

It makes things worse when Angel uses Caelum to shoot both Aries and Loke through their stomachs. While it doesn't kill them, Lucy and Haru are horrified to see jus how law the rival Celestial Spirit Wizard will sink to win.

* While Wendy is busy healing Erza, who was poisoned by Cobra's pet snake, Cubellios, Natsu takes Haru away to talk to her in private. He claims that he's not angry at his sister, but she can tell that he's disappointed in her, and to Haru, that's worse. She expresses guilt over telling Wendy to heal Jellal, but when Natsu asks her if she even stopped to think about how Erza would feel, it only serves to upset her more because she knew that if the two ever faced each other again, it would likely be the same scenario where Jellal would Erza's feelings for him against her. Haru is [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone reduced to tears of shame and regret as she realizes this]].

* As Hibiki explains Nirvana's power to switch people's personalities, Lucy notices that Haru has gone quiet, and as she goes to check on her, she sees that the Beast Wizard is about to fall towards the dark side, convinced that she had failed Natsu and that it's her fault that Nirvana has awakened because she encouraged Wendy to heal Jellal. If Lucy hadn't snapped her out of it, there was no telling what Haru would have done if she had fully succumbed to Nirvana's influence.

** It's even more heartbreaking when it's revealed that Aries' original owner, Karen, was killed by Angel, and that Hibiki was Karen's boyfriend. The fact that Karen's murderer was standing in front of him nearly makes Hibiki fall to Nirvana's power, but Haru manages to snap him out of it.
** During the fight, Angel continuously talks down on Lucy, calling her a loser for not realizing the compatibilities between certain Celestial Spirits, but Lucy argues that Angel is the one who doesn't understand a thing about Celestial Spirits. By this time, Lucy is in tears, begging Angel to let Loke and Aries be together and that she'll give her anything she wants in return (except for her Gate Keys, of course). Angel decides that she wants Lucy's life and orders the Twin Spirit, Gemini, to kill her.
** Just as Gemini-Lucy is prepared to follow through, she sees inside the real Lucy's heart and realizes how much the girl loves Celestial Spirits, and therefore she can't bring herself to finish her off. Enraged, Angel grabs Caelum from Gemini and cuts her down, declaring that she'll kill Lucy herself. If not for Haru and Blue Fang's intervention, not to mention Hibiki pulling through and downloading a hyper magic spell into Lucy's brain, the Urano Metria, she would have met her end right there.

Once again, Haru breaks down crying as she believes that her brother has lost his trust in her, and all Lucy can do is try and console her.

[[folder: Alliances]]

* In the second chapter of this arc and even throughout the story in general, as the group is making their way to the meeting place where the allied forces are supposed to gather, Lucy once again expresses self-doubt of her own abilities, even though everyone listed the amazing things she did during the time she was with the guild. Even in spite of that, Lucy still feels like she's pretty average compared to the rest of her friends.
* In the following chapter, after she's introduced, Wendy isn't much better. She hates violence and fighting and is rather meek, even though she's capable of using great magic. It's so bad that she feels that she's inadequate to help the alliance, so she runs away, forcing Haru, Carla, Blue Fang, and Happy to chase after her.
* After the reveal that Wendy is actually a Dragon Slayer, Carla reveals that just like Igneel, Grandeene also disappeared on July 7th, 7 years prior to the story. Wendy is 12 years old, so she had to have been at least 5 when her foster mother vanished.
* After she, Haru, and Happy are captured, Wendy expresses shame for just hiding in fright when everyone else got defeated by Oración Seis.
* After Jellal is revealed to actually be alive, but near death due to Etherion Poisoning, Wendy is torn on whether or not she should heal him due to the fact that he (supposedly) saved her life a long time ago. Hearing that Jellal tried to kill Erza a while back didn't help matters.

* The epilogue of the story reveals what happened to Laxus after his expulsion. He's ended up in the town of Acacia, where he opens to the waitress, Fabiola about the things that he did in his bid to grab power from his grandfather, and he sounds horrified by all the things he did by manipulating Fairy Tail and turning its members against each other, and even about the fact that he tried to kill his sister and how he treated Haru. After everything was said and done, Laxus truly believes that now, he has no friends or family to turn to... and that he's truly lost everything.
** It turns into more Heartwarming territory when Fabiola reassures him that despite all the things he did, it was clear that Makarov still loved him and while it would take some time for the rest of Fairy Tail to forgive him, he at least knows that no one has forgotten him.

** After all that had happened... Haru honestly believed she was going to ''die'' at that moment.
* After the flashback is over, Haru makes this announcement: that she can't stay in Fairy Tail, anymore.
* Everyone is hanging out at the guildhall as usual when Elektra gives a downtrodden Natsu a plate of food...and he pushes it away, claiming that he's not hungry. You know it's serious when even Natsu, someone who is known to stuff food down his throat on a regular basis, refuses to eat!
* After being away from the guild for 4 days, Haru finally decides to show up... and she looks terrible. Her hair is a mess, she has a blanket draped over her, and she's looking skinnier than normal... and the reason why she's come back? She only came to turn in her resignation letter, announcing that she's leaving Fairy Tail.
* Naturally, everyone is shocked about hearing this, and when they ask her why, Haru claims that everyone will hate her if she ever told them the truth, but when she's pressed, she finally admits why she's been in such a depressed state: she can't forgive Laxus for what he's done, not just to her, but to the rest of the guild that she loved. Unlike everyone else, Haru was actually glad that Laxus was sent away because she felt that he deserved it, but she had been watching the Fantasia Parade and saw everyone making the Fairy Tail Salute, which was used as a send-off for Laxus. Haru wasn't just angry at the Lightning Dragon Slayer for what he has done, she was also angry at everyone else because she felt that they forgave him too easily. She felt that she was not allowed to feel the way she did and that's why she thought that she had to leave.
** Upon realizing how Haru feels, the others tell her that they actually haven't forgiven Laxus, yet, themselves, especially Elektra, but she felt that shunning him further would only make things worse for her brother because she had been doing it for years.

He manages to wake her up, but the moment she does, she throws herself into his arms and cries into his scarf, and all Natsu can do is gently hold her until she cries herself back to sleep.

* A flashback shows what exactly happened to Haru during the Battle of Fairy Tail: when Haru arrived at the Kardia Cathedral, she calls Laxus out on his foolishness and accuses him of turning Fairy Tail against each other. Haru yells at him that Laxus never cared about the guild and is only out to nurse his own hurt ego. This only serves to enrage Laxus to the point where he beats Haru up mercilessly and gives her no chance to fight back, and even shocks her with his lightning. He even threatens to lock her back up in a cage once he became the new guildmaster. It gets to be so bad that Haru is left a battered, burned, and bloodied heap, and apparently, it hurt Haru to so much as ''breathe!''
