Well, its most likely going to go as a lot of people predicted. Besides us already predicting Gray vs Invel way before it happened, I'm gonna quote Sane on this: "Upon a huge battlefield where Gildarts is by far the flashiest opponent, how does Invel stumble upon the only group that has an Ice Mage?!" As for the fight itself, if Mashima isn't creative, its probably going to go something like this: Gray struggles, Gray is dealt a powerful blow and hope is seemingly lost, either someone helps Gray (Lyon...) or Gray finds the power to fight, Neinhart is surprised, Gray dodges some moves, then lands a blow on Neinhart, ultimately defeating him at the end and freeing Mavis. *prays* this scenario doesn't happen.
