I think Brandish is gonna dominate Natsu and Gray pretty hard next chapter. After she dominates them, I can see either one (or more) of these scenarios happening (from the most likely to the least likely to happen):

1) The spy (whoever they are) turns out to be crazy strong and he/she comes in at the right time to save the day.

2) Natsu & Gray don't use their Dragon Force and Demon Force (either they don't actually have it, or they choose not to use it for some reason), and get captured along with Erza, Lucy and Mest.

3) Natsu & Gray use their Dragon Force and Demon Force, beat Brandish & Marin, and save Lucy & Erza. (unlikely since the arc has just started and the bad guys usually kick ass around this time)

4) Natsu & Gray don't use their Dragon Force and Demon Force and still beat Brandish. (Brandish could have very high MP, but at the same time could suck at all other departments and get rekt by a Demolition Fist to the face. Very unlikely, but could happen)

5) Natsu & Gray use their Dragon Force and Demon Force, but Brandish still beats them and they get captured as well. (unlikely since Brandish is the weakest of the Spriggans and FT still has to win in the end with people like Lucy, Cana, Wendy, Juvia etc participating in fights, so I heavily doubt the weakest of them is this strong)

6) Laxus RKOs from outta nowhere. Hiro plz.. (as if it would actually happen though T_T) < /s >
