You know its weird that we only see a shot of Natsu in the space between time, so I'm starting to wonder if Acnologia actually dragged the other dragonslayers there or if he just simply absorbed them into himself....

It wouldn't really be surprising to me at this point if he just simply consumed Wendy and the others instead of dragging them into a new battleground.
