The city is in ruins, and everyone is in mortal danger. Natsu and the other dragon slayers are in the middle of attacking the city, and they need his help to get rid of the dragons. He tells them that he killed a dragon when he was young, and he says that if they show him proof that they can kill a dragon, he will be able to prove that he can slay one. He explains that seven years ago, the world was taken over by acnologia, who ruled the entire world. The only reason he brought the dragons to the city was to protect it, he says. He says that he figured out a way to control the dragons, but it did not work, and now only other dragons can defeat him. He is certain that he will rule the world once he defeats Acnologia.
