Chapter 443

And the Land Just Vanished is the 443rd chapter of Hiro Mashima's Fairy Tail. 
As Team Fairy Tail B rests in a hot spring, they are dismayed to learn that the Thunder God Tribe has joined Blue Pegasus. Meanwhile, on Caracole Island, Natsu and Gray are confronted by Brandish μ, who chooses not to fight them, and orders Marin to release Lucy and Erza, which he does, after which, Brandish μ causes him to disappear. As a demonstration of her power, she first dramatically raises the island, and then shrinks it down to a tiny slither of land, telling the Mages that Makarov is still alive. 
==Summary==
As the members of Team Fairy Tail B are in a hot spring, enjoying their time, the male Mages wonder why Ichiya is with them. As the latter tells them about the members of Thunder God Tribe joining Blue Pegasus, everyone is shocked, except for Gajeel, as he already knew and gets upset at Ichiya for spoiling the surprise. Ichiya then jumps in the air flashing Elfman, who punches him in disgust, knocking him into Gajeel, causing the latter to break in to the female portion of the spring and, ultimately land on Levy, with the girls expressing their anger towards him.
Meanwhile, at Caracole Island, as Gray and Natsu tremble upon sensing Brandish μ's extreme Magic Power, she unexpectedly shows no interest in them and expresses a desire to eat Star Mango gelato, being shocked to see the shop destroyed. And Marin falsely accuses the two Mages of destroying it. Brandish gets disappointed and is about to leave, but Marin tells her about the Mages starting a fight against their soldiers. However, Brandish expresses disinterest and tells the former to release Erza and Lucy. Upon expressing his disapproval, Brandish suddenly uses her Magic and causes the whole island to shake. Wanting to see what's going on elsewhere, Wendy, Carla and Happy fly into the air, and are shocked to see that the shape of the whole island has changed. 
 
Brandish then says that she won't repeat herself again, causing Marin to release the girls he captured. As all the Mages marvel about the woman's immense power, Marin tells her that they can't go back empty-handed, and Brandish says she's not concerned about that. She starts to leave, but Natsu tells her that they can't just leave since Marin injured Mest. In response, Brandish seemingly kills him, shocking everyone present. Brandish then tells them that Makarov is alive, but warns them not to trifle with the Alvarez Empire. She then shrinks the entire island, dropping all of its inhabitants into the sea before leaving by ship.
