Lol, nah Misk, this fight had one of the best endings of the arc. It was still by far one of the shittiest battles of the arc. :P With that being said, I was literally in tears while reading this chapter. The entire scene with Gajeel and Levy was BEYOND emotional. Say what you want, but Mashima does "death" scenes better than anyone I know. I say "death" because we all know Gajeel isn't gone for good. I don't know how, but he'll be revived or regenerated one way or another.

And I am seriously pumped about whatever is going on with Irene and Acnologia. I'm assuming she has some kind of plan because I don't think she'd be foolish enough to just try and face him directly. Whatever her plan is, I can't wait to see how it pans out. Their interactions were GOLD.

And OMG, I just went from loving Mest to wishing he would fall off a fucking cliff and die in a matter of seconds. Seriously, Mest? SERIOUSLY?! Negotiations, as stupid as they seemed to be, were their only chance at survival and somehow he gets it in his fucking brain that trying to kill August would work? I can't even. Overall, this chapter definitely made up for the clusterfuck that was the last chapter and I can't wait to see what's in store for the remaining battles. :D
