Am I the only one who somehow associates the power of Acnologia with Anima? I mean, it happened once with Lisanna. Isn't it possible to happen again (only with a different catalyst)? Here's my interpretation of what happened (someone please supply me with theirs!)

Supposedly, Acnologia blasted their lot into oblivion, but the next panel shows a kid, whom we've never met before. Considering as how Hiro-sensei enjoys unexpected twists, I'd say that anything is possible in the Fairy Tail fandom. I'm betting the kid is the spirit of Fairy Tail (or something). She rescues the gang just in time, although the repercussions of going against a powerful blast from Acnologia opens a portal to a different dimension (much like Edolas' Anima). The time skip then shows who we presume to be Romeo, seven years later, bearing the mark of Fairy Tail. Presumably, he holds the key to return the gang to Earthland. He'll team up (or be guided, however you see it) with the 'fairy' to rescue Makarov's company, and blah blah, they'll live happily ever after by the 300th chapter.

Or something..,
