Following Natsu's Lightning Fire Dragon's Firing Hammer, which ends up destroying a section of Sabertooth's lodgings, Natsu and Jiemma are forced to end their "fight" upon the arrival of Minerva. Jiemma goes up instead and endures several blunt attacks from Natsu, which practically do not even leave a scratch on him. Sting goes up to his Guildmaster and offers to fight Natsu himself. The other Mages are shocked that one of their comrades has been defeated instantaneously. However, after a few cheap attacks from Dobengal, Natsu swiftly takes him out in a single hit. Dobengal submits and faces Natsu, explaining that while he is not a participant in the Grand Magic Games, he is just as strong. Jiemma does not, however, and he has Dobengal fight Natsu. When Jiemma speaks up, Natsu tells him that those who don't respect their comrades are on his hit list Rogue and Sting quickly realize that he must be talking about Yukino's excommunication from earlier that night. The other Sabertooth Mages look on in astonishment at the situation, with Orga even asking whether he really intends to fight Jiemma alone. An enraged Natsu finally meets the Sabertooth Guild Master face-to-face.
