The strange girl appears, introducing herself as Mavis Vermillion, Fairy Tail's first guild master. Mavis guides them to the rest of the missing guild members. She tells them that she had used the members' faith and bonds to create the defensive magic, "Fairy Sphere", which protected everyone from evil, even if it did keep everyone in a frozen state for 7 years.

Romeo welcomes them back with tears in his eyes and, finally, a smile on his face.
