==Summary==
Everyone in the Tower has risen to fight for their freedom, while Jellal is being tortured and the guards says they will use the R-System to revive their "god", the last dark Magician. He withstands the torture, and when the guards leave, Zeref possesses him, first with words of hatred and then with an unknown spell which introduces hate to Jellal’s spirit. He claims that he isn’t dead, but has actually been there all the time, with no one being able to sense “him”. He wants Jellal to give into hate, as this way, he becomes stronger. In the meantime, the prisoners are contemplating on entering the place where Jellal is being kept prisoner and it is a location with lots of guards. Simon asks her if she likes Jellal and that he has to her something but suddenly, the Magic Troops attack, and everyone flees. In that attack Simon has been gravely injured. Erza, however pleas to everyone to fight and save Jellal, but no one will, they are all afraid.
At this point she is magically attacked by the Troops, and Rob with the symbol Fairy Tail on his back shields her with his body. He refuses to let such a young life perish, even at the cost of his own life and then dies. Erza recalls moments of her life when Rob taught her that Magic comes from one's heart. Erza expresses her wish to become a witch in the future, so she can roam in the sky. Just moments before his death, he says that Erza has freedom in her heart and that he never though to see a smile like that in a place like this. Facing the loss of her loved one, Erza summons from within all her Magic Power, and makes every object in the room attack the guards. They are obliterated and she promises to lead the prisoners to freedom.
