"Kaboku Kotani is starting high school, and he plans to do what he's always done: go along with his friends, keep quiet, and not draw too much attention to himself. After all, it's hard enough to get by with a stutter like his-- why make things worse by standing out from the crowd? But then he sees another first-year, Hikari Wanda, dancing like no one is watching-- or like she doesn't care who sees her. It makes Kaboku wonder: Could he reach that...

"Kaboku is settling in at the dance club--in fact, he's doing so well that he's one of the few first-years chosen to be on the squad that will dance in an upcoming competition. Hikari's on the team too, but as they get down to some serious practice, they find themselves confronted by a classmate who didn't make the cut and wants to know why. In fact, Kaboku isn't sure he belongs on the team, considering his reluctance to dance in front of an audience....

"Has FAIRY TAIL been taken down by the White Mage?! An urgent message arrives from Juvia to Natsu and the rest of the gang, who already have their hands full with a town that turns out to be the work of the Wood Dragon God Alderan.

One rainy night, Saki is rushing to a piano lesson when she crashes into a beautiful, long-haired girl, dropping her sheet music in the process. Saki stutters an apology, but the girl simply hands back her sheet music and leaves without a word. Saki begins her first day of high school the following morning, only to find the stranger from the night before sitting at the desk next to hers. She learns that the girl's name is Kanon and that she is not...

Saki's confusion about her feelings for Kanon only deepens when Kanon ends up spending the night due to a situation at home. As the two girls are lying in bed facing each other, Kanon tells Saki about her conflicting dreams for the future: she wants to live on her own someday, but she also wants someone around whom she can count on-someone like Saki. Kanon drifts off to sleep, but Saki remains awake long into the night, wrestling with the turmoil...

One day while having lunch in the Literature Club room, Kanon learns about a surprising club tradition from Miura-sensei. Every year, club members spend summer break writing something for the school's literature contest. Miura-sensei surprises Kanon even further by complimenting her writing and encouraging her to enter something for that year's contest. Though Kanon is initially reluctant, she later finds herself mulling over everything that's happened...

Having finally encountered a dragon god, what will it take for FAIRY TAIL to come out on top against this other-worldly power? Or even protect themselves against its fiery wrath? As Natsu and the gang wrestle with forces beyond their grasp, they learn that the enemies before them may not be exactly who they seem, and the task they've been given may not be as simple as merely slaying dragons...
