Fairy Tail 443 originally looked into the stories of how Brandish put the whole village she was on into the sea by changing it’s typography while Natsu got Erza and Lucy back. While Gajeel and Levy both had a pretty funny encounter as Juvia’s Karma put them together in an embarrassing moment when he fell on her in the hot springs while being naked, this story continues in the images below.
Fairy Tail 443 shows Brandish’s power to change the ground she walks on that she submerges the whole island in order to prove a point. Brandish also mentions that Makarov is still alive and that there are 12 Spriggan who are of her power level, or more. They have no chance of defeating them, thus should give up. Gajeel and others are at Blue Pegasus where they’re there to get Laxus and others back.
Fairy Tail 442 see’s the introduction of Brandish who is one of the Spriggan Twelve, along with Miron Hollow who kidnaps Lucy and Erza while knowingly take out Mest as he investigates. Natsu and Gray are the only ones left when Brandish, with her massive magic level, appear. They’re shocked unable to do anything.
