Acnologia shows up, destroys meteor, kills Irene, becomes injured from attack on the meteor and that weakens him to a certain extent for the final battle. That is the only logical course of action. What it seems like is going to happen is that Irene magically starts showing motherly feelings and decides to jump in front of her own meteor. So Irene will get nakama-fied on a whole new level never yet before seen to the likes of man.
