My view is that they are not dead. There was no point in introducing the little girl if they were gonna get killed anyways. They are most probably teleported to some other location. And they were stuck their or something like that. Well, Natsu was shown to have some relation to Zeref. He can't be killed just like that before anything happens. But I think that some new character might be introduced who will fight along with Natsu and others.
