The king is holding a ball at the palace to honor the wizards of Fiore for their valor during the Grand Magic Games and their great efforts to protect the kingdom from Future Rogue and the seven dragons. Everyone is having a good time except for the nagging feeling that something is wrong when Natsu doesn't show up. Later, Princess Hisui is forced to take responsibility for her part in the peril that beset the kingdom.
In the land of Fiore, magic is everywhere. Sorcerers are like skilled tradesmen who band together in 'guilds' and take on paying assignments for non-magic wielders, like hunting monsters, retrieving lost items or running odd errands.
Lucy is an aspiring wizard who wants to hook up with the coolest guild around, Fairy Tail. One day, she meets a red-headed boy who saves her from a unscrupulous wizard, and before she knows it, she's introduced to the wild and wacky band of wizards of Fairy Tail and begins the adventure of a lifetime.
