Lucy Fire (Episode)

is the 109th episode of the Fairy Tail anime. It first aired on December 10, 2011.

With Natsu, Lucy and Happy's teamwork, they are able to take down a member of the Seven Kin of Purgatory, Kain Hikaru. However, Ultear Milkovich gets away with Zeref.

Summary
As Kain is about to stomp on Lucy Heartfilia, she awakes and is able to dodge his foot. She demands to know Cana Alberona's whereabouts, but Kain does not know this and he thinks it does not matter as she will die anyway. He introduces himself as a member of the Seven Kin of Purgatory and takes out Mr. Cursey, a doll he uses for his Magic, Ushi no Koku Mairi. He asks for a strand of Lucy's hair as it is needed to activate his Magic that enables him to control the movements of someone else.

Lucy thinks he is bluffing, so Kain sticks his own hair strand onto the doll and tells her to try it in order to prove that he is not bluffing. True enough, Kain moves according to how Lucy uses the doll. After Lucy makes him do various poses, Kain snatches back the doll and announces that he has now become cold-hearted.

Kain chases Lucy through the woods, so she summons Taurus to help her out. However, Kain quickly knocks him out. Sagittarius' and Scorpio's attacks on him also backfire and he quickly defeats them. He then proceeds to send Lucy flying with Shining Dodoskoi. Lucy summons Plue, Cancer and Aries next, but all their efforts to defeat Kain are useless as he seems invulnerable to them all. He sends Lucy flying once more and she lands in between Natsu Dragneel and Ultear's battle. Just as he is about to finish her off, Natsu's kick meant for Ultear hits Kain instead, saving Lucy.

They decide to reform their team in order to defeat the two members of the Seven Kin in front of them. However, Ultear leaves shortly afterwards after Kain promises to take care of them himself. Lucy attempts to come after her but she suddenly stops in her tracks. It turns out Kain was able to pluck a strand of her hair and now she is under his control. After he makes her do some poses, he makes her attack Natsu so he is unable to go after Kain himself. While Natsu gets beat up by Lucy, Happy is able to steal away Mr. Cursey from Kain.

Natsu is able to get his hands on Mr. Cursey and proceeds to attack Kain. However, he becomes trapped underneath a pile of boulders due to Kain's blows and is unable to move. Kain is about to kill Lucy and so Natsu yells for her to run but she refuses. She is able to free herself from Kain when Natsu grabs Mr. Cursey again and controls her moves so she is able to fight against Kain.

He formulates the idea of mixing his fire with the doll, and so Lucy lights up just as the doll does. Happy takes the doll from Natsu and flies at Max Speed with it so that the fires on the doll and Lucy expand. She becomes a flaming ball of Magic Power, Secret Attack: Lucy Fire, that lands a direct hit on Kain, defeating him.
