Bye Bye Edolas

is the 94th episode of the Fairy Tail anime. It first aired on August 27, 2011.

Mystogan and Pantherlily can't decide on who is going to be the hero and villain of Edolas. But when The Great Demon Lord Dragneel attacks the royal city, Mystogan confronts him, defeats him, and comes out as the hero of Edolas, while Team Natsu and the Exceeds are sent to Earth Land.

Summary
With the Magic leaving Edolas, Lucy Ashley convinces her guild to go to the Royal City in order to find out the truth about their future. Meanwhile inside the Anima room, Mystogan explains his plan to Pantherlily. Mystogan tells Pantherlily to execute him in front of the panicking citizens and be the king of the new world. Hearing this, Pantherlily refuses his request. From the door, Nadi watches the two, who are unaware of his presence. As Magic continues to be sucked from Edolas, Mystogan and Pantherlily continue to argue, both wanting the other to be the king and both wanting to be the villain who is to be executed. As the panic outside intensifies, a guard enters the room and informs Pantherlily that people are wreaking havoc outside. Both Mystogan and Pantherlily agree to quell the riot first and head outside where they discover Natsu, Gajeel and Wendy destroying the city.

As he watches his counterpart, Edolas Gajeel realizes what they are doing and manages to get the people to think that the three Fairy Tail Mages are evil and are trying to take the Magic from Edolas. Natsu then scares the people by breathing fire, causing Mystogan to yell at him, ordering him to stop. However, Natsu ignores him and reveals to the people that Mystogan is the Prince of Edolas who went missing seven years ago. Pantherlily questions out loud why Natsu and the others are doing there. Nadi then appears and reveals that after overhearing Mystogan and Pantherlily's conversation in the Anima room, he told the Dragon Slayers about their plan. As Mystogan leaves to fight Natsu, Pantherlily wonders if Natsu is planning on dying in order to get the people to trust Mystogan. As Mystogan closes in on Natsu, Nadi tells Pantherlily to prepare for what is going to happen to them.

As the Magic continues to leave, Nichiya and his guards return to their normal state. Elsewhere, Mystogan tries to cast a Sleep Magic Spell on Natsu but fails when the Magic is sucked into the Anima. Natsu then uses his Magic to destroy a house, causing the people to panic. Wendy tries to tell him that he is going too far, but Gajeel stops her, knowing that the setting is perfect; Natsu being the demon with incredible Magic power is defeated by the hero with none. Mystogan tries to reason with Natsu but Natsu ignores him and answers with a punch. Irritated, Mystogan begins to fight back. He tells Natsu to just stay down after being attacked, but Natsu refuses, revealing that it is his way of performing a Fairy Tail Farewell Ceremony. As the two fight, Natsu begins to say the three conditions for anyone leaving Fairy Tail. With smiles on their faces, both men throw a final punch and Natsu falls while Mystogan manages to stay standing. With their prince victorious, the people begin to cheer, but stops when Natsu, Wendy and Gajeel's bodies suddenly begin to glow.

Elsewhere, Pantherlily and Nadi's bodies also begin to glow and Nadi reveals that all those who have Magic within their bodies are being sucked in by Anima as well. All around Edolas, the Exceeds and Fairy Tail members' bodies are also glowing and are beginning to float upwards towards the Anima. As they watch the Fairy Tail members leave, the members of Edolas Fairy Tail wonder out loud what they are going to do without their Magic. Gray Fullbuster cheers them up, saying that they don't need Magic to be a guild, they only need each other. Elsewhere, Erza is also being sucked in as well and says goodbye to her counterpart.

As they begin to return to Earth Land, Natsu, Wendy and Gajeel pretend that they are suffering and the citizens begin to cheer again, all praising their prince. With tears in their eyes, everyone waves a final farewell to their new and old friends. After the departure of Earth Land Fairy Tail and the Exceeds, Mystogan turns to his people and tells them that they are going to live on, even without Magic.
