The chapter opens with a flashback to forty-eight years ago, when the first two members of the fairy-tail guild were born. The second member, a brat named brat, is now forty years old and is the new master of the guild. He tells the brat to stop calling him "brat" and to make the guild a good one. He says that he's sure that brat will make the best of the group. The group is on its way to the island when a guy named makarov shows up. He's a member of the council of fairies, which means that he works for it. The guy is wearing a nice coat and a hat for the council. The guys are confused by the fact that they're fighting against a dark guild. They decide to offer up their fairy to join the fight.
